DECADENCE VINTAGE FAIRS
 
X-perience Boudoir Photography will be exhibiting at both our Decadence Winter Wonderland Vintage Bridal Fair on Sunday 4th December and the Totally Bazaar Christmas Vintage Fair on Sunday 11th December, and will be running a fantastic offer with 25% off their bronze, silver, gold AND platinum packages for Christmas!!

A fantastic and unique present whether you are buying for someone else, or you are receiving the gift. My daughter Kerry had great fun modelling at our Christmas pin-up photoshoot for the Totally Bazaar Christmas Vintage Fair at the X-perience Boudoir studio last month. Having seen her gorgeous photos I have now booked my own personal shoot and can't wait for Trazanne to work her magic on me!

Visit the X-perience Boudoir website to view details of the different packages available and come along to our vintage fairs for your exclusive Christmas discount.
 
 
We fell in love with the kitsch 50's style skirts from Annabelle's Fashions at our Frock Around The Clock Vintage Fair earlier this month, and now we are head over heels for the festive pinnies and colourful shower caps that will be also be available at our Totally Bazaar Christmas Vintage Fair on Sunday 11th December! Check out these fantastic fabrics! 
All of these designs are handmade by Noelle Patterson, who will be running her Annabelle's Fashions promotion again on 11th December, where she will be giving away a  fab Cherry Blossom lipstick, smokey eyeshadow, or compact mirror with every purchase over £15!
 
 
The lovely ladies at Vintage USA are running another of their fabulous free draws at our Totally Bazaar Christmas Vintage Fair on Sunday 11th December at the Holiday Inn, Belfast. The prize is this gorgeous red, grey and clear diamante necklace and earring set RRP £50. Everyone who makes a purchase from Vintage USA on the day will get an entry into the draw (max one entry per customer) and there is no minimum spend to qualify. Good luck!
 
 
We are delighted that Maria and Andy from Me Auld China will be making the journey from Dublin to Belfast once again to exhibit at our Totally Bazaar Christmas Vintage Fair on 11th December. Featured in the current issue of Confetti magazine, Me Auld China are renowned specialists in vintage china and cakestands made from vintage plates, and they also offer a vintage china hire service.

Maria and Andy will be offering 10% discount on their cakestands at our Xmas Vintage Fair to anyone who goes up to them, wishes them a Merry Christmas, and mentions that they have seen this post! And who could resist buying one of these cakestands! - these images from the latest Me Auld China photoshoot are simply stunning!
 
 
Every now and then a make-up line comes along that is so sizzling hot it needs to be handled with protective gloves. Hot Totty is one such line.

Ideal for professional Make-up artists and lovers of high quality make-up alike, Hot Totty's colourful selection of makeup palettes and range of beauty products is set to have make-up addicts blazing a trail to the Hot Totty website to get their hands on these red hot products.

Developed and perfected by Nichola Graham, a veteran make-up up artist who has worked with more top Irish and UK directors and photographers than you could shake a lipstick at, her new line gets its rather raunchy name from Mark Totten (AKA Totty), a Belfast man that stole her heart. And sure with a lovely Northern Irish accent, its easy to imagine how he got away with it!

Nichola will be exhibiting at the Totally Bazaar Christmas Vintage Fair on Sunday 11th September, where she will be selling a gorgeous range of Hot Totty products. She will also be selling raffle tickets at 50p each and the prize is a selection of  fabulous Hot Totty beauty products worth over £250!!
 
 
Congratulations to Lynda Conlon who won the 1950s style skirt from Noelle at Annabelle's Fashions at our Frock Around The Clock Vintage Fair earlier this month. Lynda chose a half circle skirt in the 'Lady Marmalade' fabric and here she is happily collecting her prize. We wish you many happy times in your new skirt Lynda! x
 
 
Last month we had a fabulously fun day at our Christmas pin-up shoot with X-perience Boudoir Photography. My daughter Kerry and her friend Becca were models for the day and along with photographer Trazanne, make-up artist Alicia McTeggart, hair stylist Lynette Ball, and some fab clothing and jewellery that I had sourced from Norma Jean Vintage, Innocent Chaos, Jennifer Robinson Jewellery, Annabelle's Fashions and Big Bang Belfast, we created a wonderfully kitsch and colourful shoot.

You will see some of these images on flyers and posters around Northern Ireland in the lead up to our Totally Bazaar Christmas and Vintage Fair which will be held at Belfast's Holiday Inn on Sunday 11th December. It is going to be an extravaganza of vintage fashion, jewellery, homewares and gifts so make sure to save that date!

Our latest Frock Around The Clock Vintage Fair took place on Sunday 6th November - the day that the MTV EMAs came to town! I think that we lost a lot of our young vintage fans to celebrity-spotting activities but we did get many new visitors and plenty of 'out-of-towners', some from as far as Amsterdam! We had a fab day and the craic was great as usual. Thank you to all our wonderful exhibitors and all the lovely people who came along and supported us on the day, and big thanks also to Della Storm, Geoff Hatt and Matt McElhinn . Here are a few of my favourite images from the fair.
 
 
As usual we will be running our Early Bird Special at Frock Around The Clock this Sunday which means that if you arrive and pay into the vintage fair during the first half hour of the event you will get £2 OFF the general admission charge. This means that from 11am to 11.30am admission will cost £3 for adults and only £1 for seniors and students! After 11.30am the general admission charge will apply and the cost will be £5 for adults and £3 for seniors and students.
 
 
This gorgeous 1940s/50s plum velvet evening gown from Norma Jean Vintage ticks all the fashion boxes with its fashionable rich jewel colour and luxe fabric. But unlike anything seen on the catwalk this season, no-one else is going to have one like it! Imagine making a movie star entrance at your Christmas party in this little beauty! Available at Frock Around The Clock this Sunday.
Other fashion-forward vintage pieces available from Norma Jean Vintage include these fab tartan and leather jackets.
