With February [and V-day!] fast approaching, we’ve gone all googly-eyed for the new month, running an extra-special BLOGGER CHALLENGE at our Spitalfields fair on Saturday!
Partnering up with the wonderful Rosie Steer and Becky Bedbug, the gals shall be compiling our Judy’s Love List, looking for items [like Mr. Sheep below] that we just can’t live without! On the hunt for cute couples and knock-out outfits too, prepare to be papped!

Doth our eyes deceive us, or is that a tweet from THE Olivia Palermo that’s landed in our feed?! Recommending our Spitalfields event [coming to Old Spitalfields Market this very Saturday] on her blog as one of the hottest spots for vintage, thrilled is not the word!![more like ‘OHMYGAWWWWWD!!!!! – best served up in a Brooklyn accent to get the full effect!]
Olivia, we thank you!! To read the wee piece, click HERE and for more on Saturday’s Spitalfields event, click HERE.

Oh vintage fans, we do love a guest blogger! Not purely because they do all the work, but because it’s lovely to see the fairs through a fresh set of eyes! This week, we challenged vintage and gastro enthusiasts Frankie’s Kitchen to have a wander at our Spitalfields event [and wander they certainly did…]
“Occasionally Frankie likes to venture out of her kitchen and go in search of fantastical vintage wonders. This week i found myself surrounded by cupcakes, pooches and and more vintage ware than you can shake your stick at – all under one roof at Judy’s Affordable Vintage Fair, Spitalfields. Here’s a few of the wonderous sights I saw whilst there.”
“The Flavourtown Bakery boys hard at work….”
“THE best whoopie pie flavour….Battenburg cake!”
And there we have it, another happy shopper proving that this blogging malarky is ‘piece of cake.’ [yes. we went there.]

Evening vintage fans!
Now, you may have missed the memo, and in case you did…
That’s right folks, the MOTHER of all East-end vintage events is back on the scene from Sunday 27th May! To celebrate said homecoming, we wanted to go the extra mile every which way possible; with a whole host of things on offer, instead of b-o-r-ing you with words, we’re letting our new fler do the talking [it’s late on a Thursday so sue me for bad blogging!]
No appropriate phrase springs to mind, so we’ll settle for ohmygoditsfrikkinamazinglookatherpigtails – ithinkimgoingtopassoutitssogood! [roughly translated as s’good!]
We can’t wait to be back, the girls on the flyer can’t wait to be back, heck even the balloon is counting down the days! For more information on what we’re up to, click here.

Hello all!
In the spirit of TRUE vintage blogging, we’re harking back to APRIL 2012 in a bid to catch-up with what we’ve missed [FYI: hiding under your bed with old Vogues and merlot won’t result in any task doing itself- no blogging elves or self-typing laptop ever saves the day!]
Let us paint a picture for you…the year was, well, this year. The weather was… concrete at best. The destination was a bustling east-London market that we’re learning to call our own. Enter a petite young thing fresh out of wartime and forties from head to toe. She was Naomi. We said hello. Our story started here.
The market was of course that of Old Spitalfields which we have been occupying since it’s Saturday doors yawned open last year. Our heroine [for all plugged-in to the ever growing vintage scene] is stylist, savant [and all-round good egg] Naomi Thompson [aka Vintage Secret, the UK’s leading vintage stylist]
The meeting? Not one of chance. With Naomi jetting off every other day for book tours [her is very good by the way!] styling and general vintage whimsy, fitting into her schedule is like trying to capture a hurricane with bare hands only.
Cigarette in hand, Naomi had kindly taken some down time to help us out; indulging in our own twisted take on the Olympics [none of the running and all of the praise!] Naomi was on hand to give out gold medals and goodie bags to our best-dressed guests . With one residual puff, into the market we strut to scan, award and glorify what wonderful street style east London had to offer.
The results? As you can imagine, the choice was a TOUGHIE! So diverse were the styles and eclectic the eras that Bill & Ted couldn’t even keep up!
Instead of waxing lyrical, we’ve picked out our favourite visuals for you to coo over…
Now, we fell head over heels for all of the outfits above but one shopper, in a pair of Jeffrey Campbells [that we almost mugged her for – damn you unsuitable getaway shoes!] knocked us for six in the style stakes…
And there we have it – another Saturday among the stalls! Only in it’s infancy, Spitalfields will be back on Saturday 7th July [we’re having June off to chin-chin the Queen and even have a GIN!] For more information on the fair, click here and to pay Naomi a visit, click here!
