polly put the kettle on we'll all have tea

 After weeks of moaning about this weather I have finally embraced it, just as I'm getting used to it the sun goes in, but yesterday I enjoyed it for the first time. After a long and hot night shift I attended my brothers end of year farewell ceremony and then Mum and I headed over to Llangollen for a stop of early afternoon tea. The sun shone and we milled around the charity shops and second hand book shop, although I felt like my face was melting it was good fun to spend quality time with Momma Rinse.

Collectif - Fairy Summer Bouquet // Benefit - fine-one-one // Bésame - Crimson Cream Rouge // Benefit - Total Moisture // Collectif - Layla Rose Bikini

Over the last few months I have been loving some of the vintage inspired clothing and beauty products there is on offer these days. Here I have put together a few items that have caught my eye recently. 

After stumbling across the Collectif site I have been in awe of their vintage inspired 40's and 50's style clothing. The Fairy Summer Bouquet dress is perfect for the recent burst of sunshine we've been having and the Layla Rose Bikini would look great this summer on any beach whether you are staying local or going further afield. As for some of my favourite beauty products, my make-up bag is brimming with benefit products right now and here are just a few I would like to add to my already growing collection.

As for the crimson cream rouge by Bésame, well what can I say, it looks perfect.  

What are your favourite vintage inspired items?
