The BBC at Wells
Up and early and off to Wells for a day of cameras in our faces!
My parents thought it would be fun If I would come along to witness this fine event.
At about 11ish the (I think) Scottish BB2 film crew (a small section of them) came long to our shop and chatted to us for a bit before commencing. They wanted to create a natural environment on the show, so they hid the Tv frontman aka antique dealer away. But when he came into the shop and started filming I'm not going to lie he was attractive...even mother liked him.
It was very amusing seeing my mother and father getting mic up!
After the BBC finished I went to get a short noticed hair cut as I have not had my hair cut in ages! It is always strange having my hair with someone new as they always take one look at my hair and think 'shit this is going to be a loooooonnng job' As i swear my hair seems to get bigger just for them. Also i had a Princess Diaries moment when Anne Hathaway gets her hair brushed in the transformation scene and it brakes...that was me...well it didn't actually brake but it took a while to brush!
I bought this outfit at WooHoo vintage at Shepton Mallet. The outfit was hung together and it looked so good together so I thought why not buy the whole thing. Also I'm loving long skirts right now so my collection is rather large! I'm not sure on the brand but It had this handmade quality about it, with the skirt feeling a little like furniture fabric. The top buttons at the back with two bows at the front. The shoes are my favourite and I bought them from Street a month ago called Jane Shilton.

mY biRtHday!!
So today is the day that I get a year older....19....and yes I know for some people that is not old but to be honest I still feel 13! Everything is moving so fast!!....ok reading this I really sound like a tad of a complainer....
Anyway got up early to open the gifts which were lovely, and of course a lot of them is through the process of I choose and 'mysteriously disappear' which I think is a brilliant method as you get exactly what you wanted! Very practical!

So for my glorious day I went to Halbrooke house with my good friend to treat ourselves. I drove my good pal to the spa with the music playing loud...(good music of course not the music that these young people play..far too gangster!) For the morning we went straight to the pool...well actually the jacuzzi. I think we were properly youngest there but not to be fooled there was some lovely men working there, so that helped!
Lunch was marvellous..I would explain what I had but to be honest I'm really not too sure. Well it was very healthy, full of vegetables..let leave it at that. I would have loved to have done crazy and ordered a glass of champagne but as we are so group up (both drivers) we thought better not!
Another treat to ourselves was a lovely spa treatment each. I got the rejuvenation facial as university has taken its toll, and my lovely pal got a pedicure.
We got back from the spa with my mother buying another fish for our pond (she is addicted!)

A selection of shops around Shepton mallet
The layout and the colour of the shop has a vintage Biba feel about it looking like some vintage underground nightclub. Apart from it being very small the shop has got some really good stock!
No21 Interior Antiques
The owner of the store originally was the owner of the old Somerton antique centre of which my mother rented a space.
The centre was full of beautiful interiors starting from the front right to the back.
Somerset Antiques & Interiors
This was the beautiful shop that had the most sweetest display out of all of them, with the walls in pale vintage blue, covered in vintage lace. Alot of her items were handmade pieces made from recycled fabrics, buttons etc
Another sunny day at Yeovil car boot sale.
Today got to a stressed start as the house is already a tip from moving out of university halls to home. I really did not notice how much there is! So getting ready was with great difficulty as I kept swearing from tripping up on myself. We took two cars, mine and my mother's, for the amount of left over stuff from the festival. With a table and floor full of tops and a rail for dresses. This was my section as I'm normally left with the easiest/cheapest as my maths is not up to brilliant so we wouldn't want anything good to go cheap!
The day went well, but some people really fussy with pricing. But any who we still need somehow to shift this bloody shock we have left over!
My chosen 5 second outfit (well whatever was on the floor!) consisted of topshop shorts, charity shop H&M top, Jimmy choo shoes, and Gucci sunglasses. With the labels it sounds like I've planned it but really they were on the floor...thats reminds me..NEVER leave Gucci sunglasses on the floor!

A productive day!.....well sort of...
Today we planned to go sorting out crazy but....didn't happen. We thought shopping would be much more ideal! As father was in the antique centre we decided to go off just mother and me. Bless the old man but sometimes its nice too be with the girls.
Our day started off in Shepton Mallet looking at the really interesting antique/vintage shops. There was one that was set out so beautifully, with the shop painted in pale vintage blues and covered in lace. Quirky handmade pieces surrounded the store. It really but a smile to your face, with its french vibe.
The second shop was a vintage shop called WooHoo Vintage. That was a tad on the small size but if you want to find out more about the shops go into my next blog:

Then we headed to Street for another shopping spree, bumping into my good friends mother and brother on the way.
For today's wear I wore a River Island maxi dress with my gorgeous Jimmy Choo's!
