Meet our Bloggers: London official blogger

Age: 21
Occupation: Full time student (almost finished!!)

Website/ Blog: nothingbutbettinascarlett.blogspot.com


Tell us abit about your website/blog.... I'm a bit of a 1950s geek and live the rockabilly lifestyle so My blog is about my life and ongoings on and anything vintage that catches my eye, I prefer writing more indepth rather than short snippt blogs!

Why do love vintage?

I love vintage because you can have your own style through it because you can mix and match eras, My love is the 1950s so I wear the majority of vintage clothing from that era, you are likely to get something more unique and are less likely to see someone else wearing it!

Any tips, quotes or advice you believe in or live by?

Everything happens for a reason and if you don't try you'll never know, people can miss out on so many chances if they don't try!

Our next fair is themed on the 4 fashion capital of the worlds, in celebration of the fashion weeks taking place across the globes and our 4 selected vintage/fashion bloggers will each focus on a city of their choice of New York, London, Milan & Paris.

Meet our first blogger:

Cherry Humbug allows me to channel my creativity into something which I hope others will find enjoyable to read, as well as inspiring! I don't like to take Fashion too seriously, and I do think that life is an occasion worth dressing up for - it's more fun that way, for me at least. I hope that by sharing my own style, fashion tidbits that I've stumbled across (not to mention other ramblings!) that it might encourage others to do the same, and to embrace the fact that shopping on a budget isn't always such a bad thing. I've always been a bit of an internet geek, so being part of an online community who share my love of fashion is great!

Why do love vintage? There's something really magical about wearing an item of clothing that has seen past decades, decades I may not even have been around to enjoy, myself! Vintage pieces are great for making an individual style statement, and the satisfaction you feel when you find a great piece just can't be matched when shopping on the high street or with a designer brand. Plus, you're always bound to come across something completely wacky along the way, which is always good fun!


Any tips, quotes or advice you believe in or live by?
In a time when we can seemingly plan out and execute every move on an iPhone app, I think it's really important to be spontaneous and to see life as one big adventure... and not to fear the unexpected, because that's what keeps things exciting!
