As per my previous post I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to collaborate with the lovely @MissDaisyBlue Vintage Boutique and Emer @irishfashaholic. (All pics below by Emer from @Irishfashaholic). Breda has a serious eye for exquisite vintage pieces and do pop over to her here and facebook and into their amazing store if you’re in cork!

My love for vintage never dies, if those clothes could talk wouldn’t we have some amazing stories. This beautiful dress caught my eye immediately when I payed a visit to the store. The colour was eye popping but also something you could wear today. Clothes are timeless pieces if they are bought right and vintage clothes are a true example of this!

The Structure of this dress and the quality was and is amazing for a 1950’s era dress. It was appox €145 which is insane for such a quality vintage piece!

I loved the pleated skirt on this and it was just below the knee, it felt amazing on. Cant you tell with all my twirling? The High neck with the pussy bow was so cute. It was the most comfortable dress and definitely a wow piece you could wear to a wedding as a guest or even the races. The condition of the dress is unreal and exquisite. And I love how the style compliments the figure with the trademark of the 50’s cinched in waist!

I adored this dress but wait for my next post, I’m showing you another dress from Miss Daisy blue from that same era, and where I had my princess moment!

Stay tuned!

Until next time

So last weekend I had the pleasure of collaborating with Miss Daisy blue (all thanks to Emer @Irishfashaholic)

I have always loved potttering around this boutique as its the most unique quirky vintage shop I have seen.

And Breda and all the ladies are so lovely and very helpful. While playing dress up I chatted to Breda about where she sourced her clothing. She flies to Europe and the states to find amazing pieces and she has a fabulous eye!! Its like a treasure haven for vintage lovers, but also the perfect place to find a unique piece to upstyle with something current in your wardrobe.

In the next few days I will be posting some beautiful pieces I styled and cant wait to show you guys. Trust me if you are not a vintage lover I will convert you!!!

In the meantime have a look at the beautiful interior of Miss Daisy blue it is amazing and the collections in store are beautiful, there is something for everyone. Beautiful high quality sequin tops, delicate laces, loud floral 60s shirts, dresses and beautiful evening gowns.

While pottering around and playing dress up I came to the realisation that the 1950’s clothing are my favourite, especially the dresses, I also mourned how we don’t manufacture clothing as well as they used to in years gone by. The detailing and the tailoring in vintage clothes are amazing!! No sequins or beads popping off as you try on the garments, the quality is of the highest standard, and the boning in some of the dresses are beautiful and incredibly flattering.

I was wishing I had hundreds of events to go to, as there was so much beautiful stock in Breda’s store, at one stage a lovely young girl popped in with her mum to find her debs dress, it was amazing and I wished I had thought of that when my debs were on!!

And if I havent convinced you that this is one of the best vintage shops in Ireland, their award for best vintage store from Xpose Frockadvisor is proof!! And well and truly deserved.
