Yesterday I headed to lovely Dun Laoghaire for the Vintage Ireland Fashion and Decor Fair. It was amazing. Choc full o’ vintage dealers and collectors from Ireland and Europe. The folks at Vintage Ireland organised a great event with competitions, fashion shows, lindy hop demos, makeovers and a ball to top it all off. I only wish I could have stayed longer to soak up the atmosphere even more.
It was almost overwhelmingly lovely. Luckily for my wallet, I’m now getting to the rapid growth stage of my pregnancy so I couldn’t take advantage of all the wonderful dresses that filled the hotel ballroom. It was like visiting a museum of pretty things, with something to interest anyone–from 60’s cocktail dresses to cat-eye glasses. I actually liked all the odds and ends like old suitcases, porcelain pandas and record collections (I scored a few great pieces for my vinyl collection–a gift for the little-guy-to-be).
The next Vintage Ireland Fashion & Decor Fair is in Galway on July 18. Don’t miss it!
