Day Out: Spitalfields Affordable Vintage Fair

Saturday just gone myself, a bestie and her sister headed to London for the Spitalfields Affordable Vintage Fair which happens every 1st Saturday of the month. It's run by Judy's Vintage Fair who put on lots of different vintage fairs all over the country (check out their event list!).

The first good thing about the fair was that entry was free, unlike some other vintage fairs I have attended. So v. affordable in that respect! And secondly the stalls were incredibly varied; from some amazing vintage pieces and some more modern pieces that still fitted in with the overall theme of the fair.

There are some super delicious food stalls around the market too; a mishmash of traditional asian, american classics and coffee shops, among others! We decided to have lunch at The LUXE takeaway area and I had The LUXE Hotdog- hotdog, cheese, onions and relish. NOM!

Some of the goodies on sale:

I brought a new dress made by Snow Traffic (not a brand I've heard of before) in the most adorable zebra print that I can't wait to do an OOTD post on. And only £13!
Me with my new dress & Rachel (Thanks Han for the photo!)
I also picked up this adorable necklace for £10 from i am acrylic, who make all their own hand cut pieces!

The next vintage fair at Spitalfield is on the Saturday 4th August and it's an Olympic theme :)
Have any of you been to the fair? What do you think of my purchases?
