Online vintage store Gigi Vintage

At the risk of sounding a bit fashion pretentious..i've died and gone to vintage heaven!!!!

This place is right up my street, mainly because it has so much 80's stuff which I absolutely love!!! My wish list is getting bigger the longer I browse and the prices are really reasonable which is great considering it's all genuine vintage pieces. It's also got some great designer pieces too for those with a bigger budget! Remember these are one off vintage finds so once it's gone it's gone and a lot of amazing pieces have sold out already so get buying!!! I'm going to share with you my favourite pieces along with some styling tips :-)

Studded Levi shorts £35 - LOVE these, great length too if you don't want your bum cheeks out! The studding adds a nice detail and I would put this with a floral cropped corset top for a cute summer look.

Betty Barclay mini dress £28 - This dress is awesome. Love the relaxed fit and power shoulders! The belt doesn't come with this but I would definitely style this with a belt, skinny belts work great with this style but equally a chunky embellished statement belt in white or pastel shades such as green, orange or blue would enhance the candy cane look of this dress. 

Chanel clip earrings £95 - I WANT THESE!! Got to be paired with a Chanel-esque tweed jacket in black and cream :-)

Yves Saint Laurent £195 - Cat eye glasses give such a glamorous retro look. I am immediately picturing these with a knee length, off the shoulder fitted black dress and an up-do for old school glam.

Christian Dior sunglasses £195 - Again, glamorous retro sunnies! High waisted palazzo pants and a chiffon blouse will set these off beautifully.

Brief Encounter fishtail bow dress £35 - I had to add this little gem in! Such a cute 80's party dress. The off the shoulder look is so flattering and feminine. A french pleat, pearl drop earrings and dainty kitten heels will complete this look perfectly.

Tissavel France fauz fur coat £28 (sale) - Ok for this price you would be mad not to get this!! You can't beat a chunky fur coat to keep you warm and stylish in the winter months! Paired with some skinny jeans and wedge heels this would be a great daytime look.

Aztec leather rucksack £22 - I love a good rucksack :-) If you're going for a hard days shopping, put on a rucksack and it's one less bag to carry!!

Colourblock faux fur coat £22 - I LOVE how extreme this is! The huge power shoulders create a striking silhouette. I love the patterned tights they have styled it with here and an 80's style LBD would complete this look really well.

C&A pink dress £28 - This is really cute and a nice, easy fit. As with the previous pink dress the belt isn't included in this but it definitely needs one, just to break up the all over colour. A black belt with chunky black wedges are a good strong colour to complement the hot pink and try adding a little bow tie for a quirky, fun element!

Striped mini dress £30 - Ahoy sailor!!! A great little day dress, keep it casual in the summer with sandals or pop a pair of opaque tights and flat ankle boots while it's still a bit chilly!

Adidas oversized crop sweatshirt £18 - LOVE this. I'm a huge fan of 80's street style and I can already picture this with high waisted leggings, chunky gold earrings and a headband. Some vintage high tops will complete the retro street look or try adding some heeled ankle boots for a glamorous edge.

Levis denim jacket £30 - Love the oversized style to this jacket! Again highlighting the 80's trend  perfectly.  Floral prints are big right now, if you've seen the new River Island Welcome to Miami campaign you'll get where i'm coming from when I say wear this over a cropped floral bustier and matching high waisted floral trousers with chunky gold jewellery :-)

Yellow colour block dress £28 - Pastels colours are huge this season and I love the contrast cap sleeve panels . Again a great dress for daytime and a great alternative to jeans or leggings. Wear with black tights, a chunky knit cardigan and brogues. And of course a belt to cinch in that waist, try a navy blue belt which will work really well with the colours in the dress!

KTC acid wash denim shirt £25 - Love a bit of acid wash!! I love this look with the hat but other styling ideas would be to wear this open with a cute little playsuit in the summer or done up over black skinny jeans with neon pink wedge boots.

Hermann Lange Collection floral drape jacket £25 - This is bang on trend for spring/summer! I LOVE the way they've styled this with a leotard and high waisted shorts. Different variations could be to pair with denim shorts and a black leotard or a brightly coloured bralet as suggested on the website :-)

Topshop acid wash denim shirt £25 - More acid wash! Tie this shirt up at the front and pop on some hotpants, a headscarf and gold hoop earrings for a retro summer vibe

Rianr Hotti sheer leopard print shirt £25 - I have a gold metal bow brooch which would look great  on the collar of this! Sheer chiffon shirts seem to have stuck around as they are so versatile and easy to wear. I like how this is styled but for a slightly more dressed up look wear with a bodycon mini skirt, suspender style tights and black boots.

Sheer floral print shirt £25 - This is so pretty! I would wear this over a bodycon vest style dress and cream ankle boots for a pretty daytime look. Swap the boots for big heels and pop on a leather jacket for evening drinks :-)

Well that's just a selection of my favourites from Gigi Vintage, a lot of great pieces were sold out so get on there fast!! http://www.gigivintage.co.uk/ - I highly recommend! :-)
