As of 2015 I (Emily) have become Frock&Roll's Ambassador and Blogger. So I thought, seeing as I'm going to be keeping you updated, with everything and anything Vintage related, every two weeks, you should know a little bit about me!
I am an obvious vintage lover, especially when it comes to 80's mohair cardigans; they're my weakness! I'm also a 3rd year English Language student at the University of Reading. I'm half Irish, half English. I love dogs, but hate cats. I like to watch crime documentaries, and I'm terrified of spiders and sharks. I usually drink around 4 cups of tea a day, and I think Audrey Hepburn is the most beautiful woman to have ever lived. I once had a hamster that I named Mark, and stick insects as pets that only lived for a day. All in all, I'm quite weird, but weird can be good, can't it?
Now that you know about me, you need to know why I love Frock&Roll!
I first discovered Frock&Roll in September 2014, and was immediately annoyed with myself for not discovering it sooner. Not only is it a vintage-lovers DREAM but it's the friendliest of friendly environments to shop in! I was so thrilled with my first purchase from Frock&Roll that I went straight home and raved about it to my housemates; who have now also visited and fallen in love with Frock&Roll. The shop has everything you could need from a vintage clothing shop: evening clothes, casual clothes, men's/women's, shoes, bags, scarves, brooches.
Here's a few of the items bought from Frock&Roll by myself and my housemates:
This is the lovely Maddie in her beautiful vintage coat that she bought for £28. WHAT A BARGAIN!
To the right is my 1980's tartan & velvet coat, that I paid a wonderfully cheap £15 for!
Above is one of my mohair cardigans. This 80's classic was only £12 and the best item of clothing I have ever bought.
To the left is the beautiful Josie casually wearing her Frock&Roll scarf that she paid £4.80 for after receiving 20% discount!
And last but not least is the gorgeous Chloe modelling her vintage coat purchased for a brilliant £34 :)
Now that I have introduced myself, I'll update you a little on what's going on in the shop - next week sees the January sale in it's last throws (in preparation for lots of lovely new goodies) with Vintage Bargains starting from just £1!!
Frock&Roll will also be making an appearance at the next Real Vintage & Good Food Market at the Hexagon on Sunday 1st February. It's a great FREE local vintage event, so definitely worth a mooch around for a gem or two or three....
Well that's it for this time, but I would love to hear from you to find out what you would like to see on this blog, or in the shop or just to share your vintage thoughts.
See you in a couple of weeks
Vintage Love,
Em x
