Judy's Affordable Vintage Fair

Autumn in Cardiff has to be the best time for Vintage Fairs. Freshers and students have moved back in, the weather is turning and you are in need of a new comfy cardigan so you do what most people in Cathays are doing and head to the nearest Vintage Fair.
Last week in Cardiff we were treated to one of the UK's biggest Vintage Fairs, Judy's Affordable Vintage Fair. As allows, it drew in crowds of young and old vintage and retro lovers all looking for that special unique find. What was so refreshing about this weeks fair was the clear examples of younger teenagers embracing yesteryear. From children with their parents, to groups of teenage girls, it seems people of all ages are now loving the vintage vibe!
As well as the variety in people at the fair, there was also, as always, a HUGE variety of clothes from every decade. With 4 aisles of stalls all displaying rails and rails of dresses, bags and scarves, it took at least 2 hours to fully take in the magical scene. As always, my favourite Vintage duo Rose Tinted were present and looking delightful! Their very affordable clothing drew in queues of bargain hunting vintage lovers and I'm sure many of them left with a special Rose Tinted item! I always go straight to Rose Tinted because their items are not only in amazing quality but they are also incredibly well priced.  They also stock the cutest tops and bags which are always sought after!
As well as my all time faves, I also came across some other great names such as Penny Lane and Diamond in the Sky Jewels. 
Now, as many girls know, vintage shopping is incredibly tiring and so of course, I had to treat myself to the amazing tea and cupcakes on offer. I mean, just look at the gorgeous pictures and I'm sure you would have done the same!
I also managed to find some very fashionable Vintage Shoppers amongst the crowds of hunters. Let it never be said that a vintage lover doesn't know how to dress! Some of the girls and guys looked amazing and effortlessly beautiful. Another reason to love Vintage!

Enjoy the pictures and have a lovely evening :)
