So I've been feeling slightly nostalgic this week, as obviously it's The Clothes Show Live down in Birmingham this weekend and sadly this year, I will not be attending. *Cue the violins.* Last year however, I attended with my year at uni and oh hunnie did I splash the cash. Aside from 11am wine, it's fair to say my favourite part was all the vintage stands at The Clothes Show, many of which are featured on ASOS Marketplace. So all this sadness and FOMO (you know what it is, Fear of Missing Out yo') has led me to share some of my favourite brands currently on ASOS Marketplace. So, I hope you appreciate this load of mothball beauty and get yourself online and start grabbing some of those vintage treasures.
My first utterly fabulous brand on ASOS marketplace I wish to share with you is Child of Zoa. It is inevitable how much of a sucker I am for a bit of velvet lovin' and Child of Zoa are definitely here to cater to my weird/slightly excessive, velvet needs. These guys know exactly what's going on when it comes to texture and flare and their garments they stock are definitely those head-turning, vintage extravaganza pieces us vintage hoarders simply need in our lives. All rise Child of Zoa, all fall bank balance.
To fully exploit the absolutely fabulousness of this boutique I thought I would just show you some of my faves they are currently stocking. But let's face it, you're going to want the full shabang, so check them out for yourself by clicking here

I love midi and I love velvet AND the LBD is key in any wardrobe.
What more could you ask for?
Vintage 1990s Black Velvet Evening Dress - £26
I already have a billion velvet blazers, but this is a BEAUTY.
Twit Twooooo.
1990's Plum Velvet Blazer - £45
It's winter and let's face it it's bloody freezing outside.
Unless you're from a tropical area that's not the UK.
It may be a blazer so not the warmest of coats, but the oversized style will let you pile on the layers underneath and still look ever so stylish on top.
Vintage 1980s Green Military Blazer - £32
Oh the trouser suit, you little gem.
I am so in love with trouser suits; the androgyny is just too perfect for words.
This trouser suit however, well, it just takes the biscuit.
Vintage 1990s Two Tone Suit - £32
Next I would like to introduce to you Circa Vintage. If you define yourself as that elegant-vintage fashionista, this is the boutique for you. Circa Vintage stock some of the most exquisitely stunning dresses, which I must say are complete perfection for any up-scale Christmas night out's this season. Aside from having a boutique on ASOS Marketplace, Circa Vintage also have their own website and a fabulous wee store in my hometown, Glasgow! But seriously, their dresses are TO DIE FOR, so please give them your full attention and visit their boutique by clicking here.
Below are some images of my favourite frocks and garments and furthermore, the chance for you to fully grasp what I am rambling about.
Utterly and profoundly stunning, I can say no more.
Vintage 1920's style beaded dress - £38

I just love some fringing so I do.
This LBD is so perfect I want to cry and wash the dress in my tears.
But that would be weird, so I won't.
Black 1980's Dress with Sequins and Fringing - £35
This little treat of a cape top is literally a drape sensation.
So simple, so sultry, so seductive.
Sheer Black Lace Fringed Cape Top - £25
Oh my god.
I've fallen into a coat coma.
The attention to detail is actually so outstanding my fingers are trembling.
This coat is not for the faint hearted, it deserves an owner that will exploit it to the best of its beautiful ability.
Vintage Frank Usher sequinned 1920's style coat - £85
My third vintage boutique I wish to share is Blitz. Blitz cater to that chick rockin' the baggy knitted jumper and some kind of reformed leather to cover her bottom half. This is so up my street it's unreal. I just love my mothball smelling jumpers and if you're ever curious as to my whereabouts, just look for the weirdo in the corner with her head buried into her knitted, baggy jumper. Yes, I am strange. Anyway, getting sidetracked jeeeeez. So yea, Blitz stock some perfect reformed leather skirts and then pretty much every kind of jumper imaginable. The jumper literally is the simplest garment of clothing. It can be dressed up and down with the flip of a necklace or a slip of the skirt and let's face it it doesn't take a scientist to comply with this style. - Scientist is the smartest job I can think of at this time in the morning. So yea. go jumper crazy and maybe you will find yourself burying your face in the smell of mothballs too... Mmmm tasty. To visit their full boutique on ASOS Marketplace click here.
Again, see below for some of my fave's.
Genuine leather is where it's at.
All you 'pleather' lovers need to turn it around!
So in love with the length, however all you lucky gals with fab pins don't worry they also have this in a shorter style for you to work what yo' mama gave ya.
Vintage Leather Skirt - £25
The bomber jacket is so key this season and silk is literally clothing heaven.
Outshine the highstreet bomber jacket wannabe's and bag yourself one of these beauties.
Silk Bomber Jacket - £45
Oh my days, I am OBSESSED with christmas jumpers!
This is literally so beaut, the colours are a perfect contrast to your standard Xmas jumper.
However, the reindeer design, ooh la la put me under some mistletoe.
Vintage Christmas Jumper - £30
So finally, I leave you with my last vintage boutique of this post. Now this one is here to mix it up a bit and create some swag in the atmosphere. Yea, I just said that, get over it. Introducing King and Co Vintage. Currently this boutique is only stocking men's garments on their ASOS Marketplace boutique, however, this is my reason for sharing. King and Co Vintage stock some serious amount of denim deliciousness and because I sometimes I have the tendency to dress like a boy, I thought I would share them with you, for all you girls that share this style of dress. When it comes to summer, everyone is literally chasing after the perfect denim jacket. However, it has to be said, no-one quite does the perfect denim jacket like a good old Levi number. King and Co Vintage currently have in stock a pretty awesome Levi Denim Jacket from the early 1990's and for us gals it will tick all the boxes for next summer's denim jacket checklist. Oversized, overwashed, understated. Perfect. To view their ASOS Marketplace boutique click here. Not only may you find something for yourself, but if you're lucky enough to have some stylish man on your arm, you may be racking up some stuff for him too.
Vintage Levi's Denim Jacket - £40
And with that I bid you farewell my vintage lovers. Until next time.
Love and Mothballs. x
