Hunt for a Mascot...

If your missing the excitement of 'Olympic Fever' and can't quite hold out for the start of the Paralympics next week, why not this weekend for some cheap fun in London with the family, take a stroll around town in search of Wenlock and Mandeville, our much loved Olympic Mascots!  Here's the ones I found while out and about in town this last weekend...

Happy Hunting

Olympic Fever...

Ok, so the Olympics have finally arrived in Great Britain, and following Friday nights opening ceremony, I couldn't be more proud to be British.  The amazing music, the beautiful lights, colours and dancers, and the outstanding finale with the lighting of the olympic cauldron...every single part was a spectacle in itself, and completely quintessentially british!

I must say however, with all the excitement, my boyfriend Sam and I were a little disappointed that we missed out on tickets to the many events, through all our applications over the last few months...*major sad face* :(

So yesterday...As everyone crammed into central London to take their seats onlooking the various sports taking place, Sam and I headed for the Kent countryside with a blanket and picnic basket, to make the most of the little bit of sun we are currently being blessed with.  I couldn't quite resist keeping to the team GB colour coding though...and was rocking out my red, white and blue, in my gorgeous new summer skirt...

I paired the skirt with a plain white vest, and some subtle striped pumps...This was a complete bargain outfit...the skirt was a steal at just £5 from Primark, and the shoes I bought in the New Look sale for just £7.

It was a beautiful setting for a Summer picnic, and we had a lovely day chilling in the country whilst avoiding the hustle and bustle of London city centre!

How have you been supporting your teams so far in the Olympics? Do you have tickets to any of the games this year??

My old trusted friend - Judy...

Judys AffordableVintage Fair is coming to London this Saturday and I am beyond excitement at the moment.  I discovered this little paradise of all things vintage, twee and a whole load of kitsch when I was living in Southampton, and was so pleased to find out that they do fairs right across the UK. So wherever you are in our little country, there is sure to be a fair near you!

Judys has been running for a little over 7 years now and it makes a good worth while trip where you are bound to find some real bargains.  Whether you're looking for a quirky new outfit, an intriguing piece of home decor, or just a bit of something different to accessorise yourself...then Judys is the place to go!

 

Judy also loves her music festivals, travelling through various festivals across the country bringing affordable vintage to music lovers nation wide.  A list of all festivals she will be bringing her fair to can be found here
