Oh, This Old Thing? Beautiful Vintage Style (Straight from the High Street)

You know when you ask your friend where she got her fabulous broderie anglaise smock and she answers with 'oh, this old thing - I picked it up in a vintage store in New York last time I was there. It really complements these brogues that I found in that cool flea market in Paris.'

And on the inside you roll your eyes (and maybe a little bit on the outside too). Because vintage is great and I love quirky fashion pieces, but finding that perfect pre-loved dress can be a difficult task.

So today we're looking at some beautiful, vintage-looking pieces that you can pick up on the high street. These are perfect for festival wear, teamed with plimsolls for an Irish Summer evening or throw on a clunky pair of biker boots to give it some edge.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some flowers to plait into my hair.

Do you love you some vintage-looking style as much as us? What pieces in our gallery catch your eye? And what vintage shops do you love?
