Belated Asos Marketplace Pick of the Week

Hi everyone,
Sorry I haven't done a post like this in a little while. There are still so many fabulous finds on Asos Marketplace and the website is so fun to look through, it is a genuine treasure trove. Today I have a new boutique which I love to introduce you all to...



PASTEL CANDY STRIPE VINTAGE MIDI DRESS.

This stunning pastel midi dress is courtesy of the boutique Girl Stole Vintage who sell gorgeous vintage finds at really reasonable prices. This one is bang on trend for Spring/Summer featuring the baby pinks and mint pastel colours that are everywhere. I also love the horizontal stripes which I think give it a quirky edge. This is the perfect summer day dress when the weather finally co-operates. All that plus only £18. This dress is a size 10 and you can grab it here!

Asos Marketplace Pick of the Week

Hello everyone,

Asos Marketplace has not failed to impress me again this week and I have another amazing boutique seller to introduce you to...



VINTAGE BRIGHT FLORAL DRESS


This gorgeous bright floral print dress is absolutely bang on trend for this spring/summer with it's almost neon bright colours, it's midi length and it's pleated skirt. I am in love! This beautiful piece is one of many at the gorgeous and reasonable vintage boutique Kissing Cows. This particular dress is an absolute steal at only £19 and says it fits a size 14 but I think belted could fit a size or two smaller.

You can pick this up here!

 
Hope you've had a lovely weekend!

Asos Marketplace Pick of the Week

Hi everyone,
So it's that time of week again! As you may have seen from my previous post asos.com are having a really amazing mid season sale and (very good news) this extends to Asos Marketplace too! Many of the sellers and boutiques have reduced their pieces to give an even more affordable way to shop vintage and unique!


I have searched through the sale and found hundreds of items I would quite happily buy but this is my particular sale favourite...



VINTAGE AZTEC PRINT BUTTON UP DRESS


This gorgeous aztec print dress is from boutique The Pretty Junk which stocks amazing on trend vintage pieces. I love aztec prints and especially love how this shirt dress manages to make what can tend to be a black and grey dominated print vibrant with turquoise and purple. It is so beautifully 80's in style but could look so fashionable today paired with a pale denim jacket and chelsea boots and belted as is shown in the picture. This was originally £45 but has now been reduced to £33.75. It states that it is a size 14 but, belted could fit a smaller size. I am so in love! You can have a look, and get it here!


If you want to check out the rest of the Marketplace's sale you can do so here! Let me know if you order anything!

Asos Marketplace Pick of the Week

Hi everyone,

So sorry this is late.. I've been enjoying the Easter festivities! Every week I am again shocked at the amount of absolute gems on the Marketplace site... it is definitely amongst my favourite places to browse, and as soon as I get some money, my favourite places to shop too!



PEACHES AND CREAM DRESS WITH COLLAR

This week's pick is this gorgeous collared dress from boutique Memoir. They have a fantastic range of reasonably priced vintage pieces but this dress is definitely a favourite of mine. I love the contrast between the peach and cream collars on the dress, the wrap-over effect which is extremely flattering, and the large floral print. It seems to be a perfect midi length and although this is apparently a size 14-16 I think that with the help of a belt (much like in the picture) it could be worn by anyone over a size 10. This wonderful dress is only £24.99 and can be found here.



I hope you've had a brilliant Easter!

Asos Marketplace Pick of the Week

Hello everyone,
Sorry this is a day late, I spent so long browsing the marketplace site I didn't end up getting anything on here last night!


Anyway, I have discovered another great Boutique seller on there this week, which is where today's pick comes from...





The pick is in fact the vintage dip-dye shorts from the boutique Dorothy's Wardrobe. I love the dip dye trend and particularly like this colour combination with the pastel blue and lilac. This is such a spring time piece and would look equally great with a white t-shirt for a day look or a black sheer top and heels for a night out. These particular shorts are only in a Size 10 but they do others! These ones are £28 but I really advising checking out everything on their boutique as it's all lovely!

Obsession Of The Day: Asos Marketplace

Hi everyone,

So recently I've been absolutely in love with looking at Asos Marketplace which is asos.com's place where small boutiques, vintage stores and individuals can sell their clothes and accessories! I love the high street but sometimes you see things on the marketplace which are a bit more individual and you can pick up vintage clothing for a really reasonable price. If you haven't already go and check it out here. I thought I would show just a few things that have been catching my eye from different sellers!




Dandelion Dress by Preppy Long Stockings - £24 





Vintage Wild Cat Playsuit Size 12 from Bang Bang Boutique  - £30





Silver Cross and Spike Drop Earrings by Black Tied - £10


I hope that has given you a small taster of what Asos Marketplace is all about. I will try and do a weekly post where I include my favourite piece of the week... perhaps I'll even buy some!


Have brilliant Fridays and I will be back over the weekend!
