Free People Clothing - Born To Run

Born to Run...

....................................................

Free People is one of my tiptop sites for style inspiration
 (as you'd know if you read my blog often)

And they often have gorgeous look books with beautiful themes... The last one I blogged about was their May Campaign which featured a very nostalgic, vintage and soft look on retro Miami...

So pretty.


Their newest campaign, called Born To Run, is all about the art and fashion of the "true american girl"... 

Now on the 24th of April this year, I did another blog post about Flags in Fashion, and how this (not-so-new) trend keeps creeping back into our lives. It seems as though Free People have taken this Flag trend on again and "ran with it".

Born To Run is all about a fresh take on the Red, White and Blue. To quote from the site:

"Boardwalk strolls, Ferris Wheel rides and ice cold lemonades are all defining factors of a true American Summer"...

Lots of Crochet and distressed Denim feature here, as well as Gingham, Stripes, Polka Dots and Stars... Everything "Typically American".

My Item of the Collection would have to be the Waistless High Rise Red Cutoff shorts... Such a bold little garment! Love!!


A BRILL basic for summer...!!


Take a look at the images from the collection's Lookbook below and go to their site for
more gorgeous Free People treats!!

Enjoy

London Road - Vintage Secret

London Calling

Calling you to Kalk Bay, one of Cape Town's most beautiful sea-side towns.
Kalk Bay hosts a string of amazingly interesting markets and shops
along its main road, and one such shop just happens to be
Cape Town's little secret vintage hot-spot.

London Road
- Mens & Womens Vintage and Retro Inspired Clothing -

 Every inch of this shop is filled with something interesting and beautiful....
I absolutely love exploring vintage shops, I love anything old, beautiful and 
nostalgic. I guess it's the history of everything in a vintage shop
that lures me in, its the wonder of "who wore this once" and "where to"?
Kind of reminds me of digging through my moms cupboard
as a girl and playing dress up with all her clothes...

(I still sneak in there now and then for awesome vintage pieces...
YAY to my mom who never throws anything away!!)

Let's take a moment for these AMAZINGLY adorably cute flower "pots".....
gorgeous idea!!!

AND my pick of the shop... this adorable Vintage Bow Dress:



So next time you're strolling through Kalk Bay, be sure to look out for this
little treasure of a shop, I promise you will love it if you love vintage!
