My Vintage Fling....


For as long as I can remember, I've loved exploring flea markets, vintage markets, fetes & op shops which I always tell my girl-friends, "its called an Opportunity Shop for a reason.... you gotta grab the opportunity while its there". When you get that tingly feeling....grab it!!! I've had a few regrets, missed opportunities are a pain in the...... Listen to that gut feeling. 


I have collected little treasures along the way for the last 16 years, not too long but boy does it accumulate & I cant imagine all the treasures that will choose me in the next few decades to come.


Its exciting, fun & who doesn't like elegant & extravagant pieces from yesteryear, what secrets they hold. The romance, saga, happiness & sadness.... 


I had no idea I was a Vintage hunter, I just adore the old, the unusual, not in fashion, unique & rare.  There are lovers of the old & rare as crazy as I am, crazy over nostalgia.


Heres my treasure trove - some are expensive compulsive buys & real bargains or gifts. A few hold sentimental value, & others are just pure bliss, a rare find.... exhilarating !!!! 

"Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress" -Coco Chanel-

"Fashion is not frivolous. It is part of being alive today"  -Mary Quant -

"Fashion fades, style is eternal" -Yves Saint Laurent-

"A girl should be two things. Classy & fabulous" -Coco Chanel-

Indispensables, can not live without them....


In England, these early accessories were called "indispensable", as they contained all the things a lady simply couldn't do without. 


And how this wonderful accessory has changed constantly to reflect our lives, our independence & status..


The old, the classic....never fades

♥ VINTAGE JOURNEY ♥

♥ Get Frocked Road Trip ♥

Ohh what a ride, the sun was shinning, aviators shielding the ocean glare, traffic parted from one coast of Melbourne to another.  Hearts beating in anticipation. 

Caffeine intake a priority, change ready for the drive thru, cruise mode to arrive in style.  









Travel time - 3 hrs. 
Shopping spree - 5 hrs.
Result - priceless.  
But I don't think the bank will agree!
Extravagant purchases made, price 
has got nothing on fashion - Nothing. 




Our Vintage Journey Begins....
A fabulous day begins with a flow of vintage from the 20's to the 80's.  Each stall was overflowing with treasures from every era imaginable. Some so precious I was reluctant to pick up, they were works of art, wearable art. Antique pieces takes your breath away & the prices makes you walk away. Still good to see beauty even if you cant take it home with you.
It was an exciting start to our day, a fabulous end and one 
expensive event but worth every dollar or hundred :-)

Surrounded by Beauty, Glitter & Glamour 

Authentic vintage & retro treasures 

The Gorgeous Orange Number one of the Vintage Stall holder insisted I try, perfect fit :-)  

Favourite vintage piece that made it back with us

The Atmosphere was buzzing, the old style is here to stay. Stalls stacked out with everything vintage, dresses, shoes, bags, jewellery, swimwear, & art. We were buzzing.
