Motel X Gimme Shelter! Vintage Fair

. June 08, 2012 .


Yesterday Motel and Gimme Shelter! came together for a fantastic vintage fair sale, a 'Double Whammy' as they liked to call it!The Gimme Shelter boutique is an actual hidden treasure, located in The Lanes bowling alley it's been on of my favourite Vintage hotspots for a couple of years now, so to have it come together with Motel clothing, one of my favourite labels, was very exciting. With clothing starting from just £5 it was a vintage-lover's paradise. There was rail upon rail of Vintage shirts, shirt-dresses, Levi's, jumpers and jackets, as well as a table with an amazing array of vintage accessories, The white gemmed shoes above being my favourite piece! unfortunately I'm on a bit of a budget at the moment so couldn't leave with as much as I liked (even though everything was bargain-worthy) but I did manage to nab this amazing leather jacket. It was a perfect fit and although you can't really see it in the picture above it has an elasticated waist which gave it a very peplum-esque shape, which is very  on trend at the moment. My boyfriend said that with the jeans I was wearing it made me look like I'd just walked off an episode of friends, which somehow made me love it more. For those of you that live in Bristol, head down to the Gimme Shelter! at The Lanes for more bargain vintage buys. Let me know what you guys think!

  15. What an amazing vintage fair (but not as a amazing as the Armstrongs Shop in Edinburgh! (although we're perhaps a little bit biased...) Have you visited our stores before?
    You take beautiful photographs too!
