"It's almost impossible to believe he exists. It's as if you took everything that was bad about America, scraped it off the floor, put it in an old hot dog skin & taught it to make noises with its mouth" #PRESIDEMENTIA

New vintage on the website x

My mission to create a colourful home is coming along nicely with this fab addition. I snapped up a print from @mollymural last year and it looks brilliant against my Matt Penfriend walls…. Walls - Penfriend by @duluxuk 💙 ‘Come Together’ limited edition print - @mollymural ✨

😂 #kneecap #bafta

This has got to be my best drop yet - proud of this one x

Had an absolutely beautiful meal at Adelina Yard in Bristol with guest chef Olivia Barry - highly recommend putting this on your bucket list. Every dish was perfect!

I managed to get some more vintage clothing photographed this afternoon and all those bright colours and patterns are getting me excited for the next drop. I’m still not sure what date to release them all on the website so if @soullovevintagefair has any dates coming up, would love to see some dates

Starting to photograph the “new” vintage for 2025 and it’s pretty spectacular… I found 2 separate pieces that have been cut from the same fabric. The pattern orientation makes all the difference 🌈

Nice to see the sun out ☀️

It’s amazing the impact lighting can have a room - my new bubble chandelier has changed everything and it’s fascinating to look at. 🫧

Great day out in Bristol at the @vintagefurnitureflea in @paintworks_bristol 👍🏼 @506070sretro @vaguelyvintagepics @vintagefurnitureflea @paintworksevents #blondiesretrovintage #bristol #bristollife #bristolevents #bristolvintage #vintagefurniture

Heading to Bristol tomorrow for the Vintage Furniture Flea at the Paintworks and then Tobacco Factory market - anywhere else I should visit on a Sunday?

That woman needs an intervention. Nice coat though 😘

I’m getting the New Year off to a start by getting some decorating done….. I need to add more colour to the Matt black walls but I’m almost there!

Absolutely this from Ed Davey 👏

In its full glory 🦩

I normally keep my @thecosmicandthekitsch door wreaths up all year round but the sun has been fading some of the vintage bits. I’ve been refurbing this one by adding a pink ice cream cone and a duck or two. Not quite finished yet but it’s coming along nicely and it’s looking more colourful again 🌈

Here come the last minute panic buyers so I’ve put the shop into holiday mode. Why do people wait until the last minute to buy for Christmas? 🤣

Vinted is offline and can’t log in…

BREAKING: Reuters is reporting from two Syrian sources that there is a very high probability that ASSAD HAS BEEN KILLED in a plane crash. Unconfirmed but flight radar apparently shows his taking plane making a surprise U turn and disappearing off the map.

Amazing dinner last night at V&V Leeds by Chef Jono. Nice to have a night out ✨

Had a lovely little mooch at the Frome market this morning. Up early but it was worth it for the final market of 2024 - it was packed later in the day! Picked up lots of foodie goodies.

Here at @blondiesretro, it isn’t all about colourful clothing! I also have the most wonderful vintage jewellery including my vintage floral brooches. They are from America in the 1950s and 60s and are mostly painted or enamelled metal. They really brighten up a jacket or lapel ✨

Rachel Reeves has a degree in politics, philosophy and economics from Oxford (the same degree her predecessor Hunt got) and a masters in economics from LSE. Her former colleague at Bank of England has also confirmed she did work as an economist whilst there. Pass it on.

BREAKING: Police have carried out a controlled explosion at Euston station in central London after a suspicious package was found

Bomb squad at gatwick airport, dealing with "suspected prohibited item". I'm a child of the 1970s. Bomb threats are something we grew up with. Under 30s: "What's wrong with leaving my stuff here whilst I go and buy a drink over there?" Anything unattended = suspect => bomb squad. Don't do it.

Sneak peek of some of the vintage metallics in my last drop of 2024. Will be available on the 30th Nov @soullovevintagefair
