As Darkness Descends...: Liverpool's Big Vintage Summer Sale 07-08-10

For those who missed it, where were you?! Saturday's fair was brilliant, and we had over 300 people throughout the day! All our featured stalls were just brilliant, from hand picked vintage bullet bra's from the 50's, to cute handmade owl cushions, anyone and everyone could find themselves a bargain!

I managed to sneak off my post at the front desk for a while and get some great photos to share with you all! So here is what you missed!

But don't worry!! If You DID miss the fair, no fear! On the Saturday 25th September we're holding a huge vintage fair at the LJMU student union bar, where we will have over 40 stalls of amazing fashion and accessories bargains, with live mannequins featured throughout the day too! I'm not too sure, but I think most of the stalls featured in saturday's fair will be at our next one, so if you see anything you want make a note of the seller and get yourself down to the next fair!! I will include all the contact details of each seller too, just incase you can't wait until the 25th Sep!

This is my personal favourite, sheer elegance!

I love the detail on this dress, just simply gorgeous. Unfortunately I'm simply way too small to wear a gorgeous dress like this! =[

Geek

Geek Vintage - What can I say?! Two major trends of the past few years coming together in perfect harmony. What more could a girl ask for?? From sunglasses, to retro cards to cute little denim numbers, Geek Vintage has everything for the modern day fashionista! The first thing that caught my eye on Geek's stand was this amazing pair of neon painted leggins that would definately make you stand out from the crowd!

I then spotted such a cute little retro denim number that I just couldn't resist trying on! Unfortunately the 1970's acyrlic mix was no good for my sensitive skin, but anyone looking for the perfect denim garment for this years denim explosion, look no further!

Geek Vintage are situated at 236 Smithdown Road (opposite the brookhouse) in Wavertree Liverpool.

Rubie Locks

Rubie Locks is famous for its gorgeous fascinators and flowers, aswell as their beautiful headbands and earrings. If you're going for hippie, indie or bohemian this is the store to visit!!

Full of flowers and feathers Rubie Locks is really feminine and summery, perfect for any occasion.

What Katie Did

What Katie Did caught my eye due to their vintage, 1950's bullet bras and frilly knickers! If you want to go all out on your 1950's look, weather is a bikini, swimsuit, shift dress or Dior style flared dress, a bullet bra is what you need! In different colours and styles these bra's create a gorgeously feminine shape to the bust and will have everyone asking what's new?!

I also spotted a GORGEOUS under-bust corset in pink and black, that I would literally die for!

With a huge selection of lingerie, corsetry and hosiery, What Katie Did has got everything you need to look beautiful underneath!!

You can find all their contact information here, with a great selection of buys also!

Laylora

Laylora Vintage was a personal favourite for me. They had some amazing stock at the fair with them (which was apparently their worst stock), so I cannot wait to see the rest for myself!

Laylora has a lot of printed fabrics, cute collared dresses, adorable cardigans, and classic vintage styles for all. With a huge selection of bas and other accessories, it would be so easy to find your new favourite outfit at Laylora.
