Hi Guys!
What a post I have in store for you today! Its a bit late, but the other weekend, me and my best buds drove up to Amptill to check out the Amptill Antiques Emporium! I know, the name gets me all crazy excited. Me and my sister used to get dragged there as children, we didn’t used to like going on sunday trips with our parents, until we entered this three story Aladdins cave. I hadn’t been inside since we were young so we simply had to check it out! It was exactly how I had remembered it, maybe even better!
I decided to dress for the occasion in an original vintage dress that I picked up in a thrift store in San Francisco! So its come quite a way! I love its pattern and its slightly dipped-at-the-sides hemline. Its made entirely of chiffon so I have to wear a slip underneath, but its worth it.
I kept the rest of my outfit pretty simple, with peach-coloured suede heels from River Island and a little turquoise charity shop purse. The only jewellery I wore is the below necklace, which everyone keeps asking is vintage, but its actually Susuan Chaplain for Asos!! £9 – I had to buy it!
Some of the goodies we found inside include a lamp held up by a harpoon man, some bookends of a ship cut in half, some weird but cute figurines, and an incredibly expensive burgundy bag (OMG if only it wasn’t £45!!)
Whats a trip to an antiques emporium without a little dress up? There was a whole section of party dresses, and a whole section of different hats, bags, gloves etc. Was amazing! All the hats were for different professions and occasions, from a sailors hat to a fireman helmet, it was crazy!
Yeah, the doll creeped me out…
Me in my element!!
Yes, I made some purchases, but you will have to wait to find out what they are!!! Ok so they are wearable ;) that’s all you’re getting! I highly recommend a good long browse around this place, it has to be the best best best antique shop I’ve ever been too. Some things are pretty expensive but considering some of the quality, a lot of it is amazing value! I can’t wait to go again next time!
