Vintage Nation, Brighton: Photo Essay

 Things kicked off nicely with some white floral lace that channeled Louis Vuitton and D&G.

 I couldn't resist grabbing a photo of these stallholders in period dress. Also her hair is to die for.

 A suitcase full of glasses waiting to be rummaged through...

 When polystyrene heads say it all.

 The furniture bazaar was set to the sound of Motown.

 A vintage Chevy kicked off the car displays.

 As a Ramones fan, I was drawn to the car with 'Hey Ho Let's Go' emblazoned on the number plate.

 I'm no car fanatic, but I think the vehicles really added something to the event.

 What you might call a dapper snapper...

 This fruity handbag also caught my eye.

They're a hot accessory at the moment, but authentic collar tips could be picked up from Vintage Nation for just £12.

Brighton Vintage Fair Photo Essay, Part II

 A flash of this season's lilac, but vintage style.

 1950s Riviera chic - this is how summer should be.

 The scarab beetle design of this clutch bag caught my eye.

 The view from the glove section...

 More sunglasses than you can shake a stick at.

 Nice bit of Coronation kitsch, in time for the Jubilee celebrations.

 A very quick snap of a stallholder (her very sweet child is just out of shot).

 A flamingo would set you back just a few quid here. Brilliantly quirky.

 Another very quick snap, this time of a dapper bloke who went for a flat cap and waistcoat look.

These playing cards formed the perfect backdrop to some paste jewellery.

 The entrance to Brighton's Vintage Fair today, featuring a period car.

 

 A visitor gazes at the costume jewellery on offer.

 These stallholders were brilliantly dressed and coiffed. I'm in love with the grey hat!

 Rock around the clock... 1950s chic on a mannequin.

 Trinkets caught the light at this stall.

 My best photo of the day: vintage shoes lined up for prospective buyers.

 The bargain of the fair: round tortoiseshell sunglasses for £5.

Dress: COS.

Lipstick: Accessorize.

I couldn't resist the print of this 1970s dress - Jazz Age flapper with a Clarice Cliff edge.
