A few years back I became acquainted with the wonderful Tracey, otherwise known as Miss Violet Bright. We chatted in vintage groups and had a lot in common, but never met.
Then one day around two years ago, I was at LondonEdge for the twice yearly spectacular and spotted a familiar character!
Miss Violet Bright
I mean, that purple hair really couldn’t be missed. I tracked her down and found out she was looking for items of clothing and accessories for her shop, Vendemia based in Scunthorpe along with her poor husband, Craig.
I say her poor husband. He was very lovely and very patient but she was literally dragging him from stall to stall looking at ALL the pretties!
Anyway, we had a right old natter and it was finally so good to meet her in person.
Well, the last couple of LondonEdge events, I have spotted the same purple hair and it has been wonderful to be able to catch up and find out how things are going. Both Tracey and Craig are adorable and I really enjoyed spending time with them.
A wonderful couple
Anyway, after LondonEdge I was on Facebook and saw Tracey showing off a lovely dress from Hearts and Roses. It was really pretty and I instantly wondered how large it would go up to. I popped her a message and enquired all about it.
This just caught my eye
Well it turned out that it was available in up to a size 26. It would have been stupid not to give it a go!
I asked if she would be able to post it and five minutes later I paypalled her the money and waited for the dress to arrive.
When it did, I was blown away. It was even prettier in real life and it fitted like a dream. The quality was really high and for £55.99, it was a great price for the design and material that was really luxurious.
The only thing was, I didn’t really have an event in which to wear it. So I kept it in the wardrobe for a month or so.
Finally an evening arrived where I was going to quite a lovely restaurant with my friend Jane. It is quite a upscale restaurant and so I wanted to make an effort. That was when I remembered the Hearts and Roses Dress.
I instantly loved it
I accessorised the dress with a matching hair flower, blue shoes and bag. I was all set and I felt really lovely in the outfit.
So easy to wear
The fit was great; it looked like it was made to measure. I was really glad that I had purchased it and I think it will get a lot of wear in the coming months.
Posing again
The only downside?
So comfy
I now know that Hearts and Roses fit me and this could be detrimental to my bank balance!
Till next time,
