Last weekend I had great fun hosting a small blogger party at my local vintage shop in Clapton, Mero Retro. The lovely Sanju and Paula put on a fab spread (including personalised cupcakes!) and we all got to play dress up…!
You might recognise Toni from Fashion Your Seatbelts, Paula from The Pho-Diaries, Jac from Bumpkin Betty and Leigh from Fox & Feather. As we sipped on bubbly, we nattered, snapped photos and tweeted and instagramed as we went. It was so relaxed and there just didn’t seem to be enough time to cover all the blog chat between us!
It wasn’t long before we were scouring the rails, unearthing lots of treasures and trying on our favourite finds. I found a fabulous pair of blue & white patterned culottes which, although quite neat on the waist, fit perfectly. Outfit post coming soon! You can see some of the girls’ finds in the pictures below. And keep your eyes peeled on their blogs as they’ll all be running Mero Retro giveaways over the next few weeks… !
Hope you enjoy the pictures, and if you ever come to Hackney, make sure you pop into Mero Retro (closet rail station is Clapton, but just remember they’re closed Mondays!). You can keep up with the shop’s daily goings on the Facebook page and Sanju’s incredible personal style on her blog Mero Retro Style.
And if you fancy a bit of your own vintage, get 15% off in the Mero Retro online shop with the discount code “stylonylon” – valid for the next three months, happy shopping!
