LONG TIME

Coming?? No see??

My life is currently consist of working, cleaning and sorting. Dave has been working ridic hours (last week he worked 73hours in six days, eww) so I feel like nothing fun has happened in agggges. Luckily it's Daves B'day this Saturday and Two Suns are playing a show at the Jade Monkey... def something which I am looking forward too.
I imagine the night will look something like this:

NB: My drink is much more likely to be vodka.

In work related things, I am so dying to see True Grit, Black Swan and The Kings Speech. You would think I would have seen them all already right? Well no, and now I think I'm in for some kind of movie marathon day (to get them all in asap), because I am so over seeing tiny but probably crucial parts when doing my cinema checks.

In other news, I have a new awesome and upgraded computer which is seriously the best, but currently I'm unable to use the USB or CD drives which completely limits the amount of photo uploading and Red House related business that can do, boo! A new collection is on its way and will be "sneak peaked" to everyone on Mon/Tues via la blog and Facebook. Can't wait.
It seems (although I didn't think it was possible) I am falling more and more in love with vintage, clothes & fashion everyday and have so many massively massive plans for the expansion and general running of the Red House Vintage shop. I'm super excited for what this year is going to hold. Did I also, mention that I have found the dreamiest pair of 70's boots of all time, postage from the UK is $75 but I think they could be worth it (I am an extreme bargain hunter and spending that much on postage alone kills a little part of me inside).

Anyway, that is so enough rambling on my behalf. I am taking a camera out with me this weekend and promise to have photos galore to post soon! Much Red House Love XXX

BACK ON TRACK

Finally the new Red House Vintage collection is ready for action and due in store this Sunday night! Here is a little look at some of my personal favourites...

Check out the Red House Vintage Facebook for more of a sneak peak of the new collection!! and while you are there why not enter our Facebook giveaway...

Much love and talk soon XX

BACK TO IT

After what could be called the merriest Christmas of all time, I'm back! and I have so much to share with you... but not quite yet. You will have to wait a little bit longer.

Over the next few weeks Red House Vintage is going be evolving and plans which I have had for a very long time will finally be coming together! We also have a seriously incredible collection coming out in early January. Think party times and long summer nights.

I really wanted to have some amazing dresses out for everyone pre-NYE but it just hasn't turned out that way, boo! So I hope everyone had something awesome to wear anyway and had an amazing time wearing it!

Unfortunately for me, Dave and I both had to work yesterday (he also started at 8am this morning, ewwwww) so we decided to postpone out NYE celebrations until tomorrow night. Daves band, Two Suns are supporting Earthless. Best. Thing. Ever!! so tomorrow should be a particularly epic night. I was really excited for this gig before Two Suns were supporting... so now I'm like crazy-excited. If you dig your psych rock jams (not to mention awesome long effing guitar solos) I really hope that you are catching Earthless somewhere near you over the next few weeks! and if you are in Adelaide you should def come tomorrow night (Sunday 2nd Jan) to the The Ed and join my party!

At the moment I'm planning to dress slightly on the tame side (very out of character, no maxi dress, no psychedelic patterns or massive sleeves) tomorrow night in a pretty black pleated vintage dress. Super plain but easy to accessories the crap out of. Some of my very attractive friends will be there too, no doubt looking like babes so I promise to take some photos for once!! and actually post them!!!

Anyway Happy New Year everyone, get ready for whats set to be the best one yet!

But for now, I'm off to see the Wizard.... XX

SOON

So next weeks pretty exciting for Red House Vintage as we are finally announcing our second Facebook giveaway!

All the whinging my boyfriend does every time we go op shopping (or shopping in general) about lack of cool boys stuff has finally paid off for vintage and fashion loving gentlemen of the world. I have decided to have both a girls and boys prize! woohooooo!
I am currently putting the final touches on both lots of prizes but am still open for suggestions. So if you have any ideas, wants or lusts let me know and you never know what might happen?!
I'm really excited.

Next weeks a big one with a Gilles St. Markets, a few job interviews, a photo shoot, heaps of altering and hemming, getting the lookbook ball rolling and of course giveaway announcing. So awesome, can't wait.

But for now, It's almost vodka time in our house so I best be getting ready now... before it's too late!
Happy weekend everyone XXX

HEY THERE

OH MY. Where have I been?
I can't believe I've neglected my blog for so long.
And truth be told, I don't feel like I've done or achieved anything worth posting about.
My past two weeks have been full of planning.
I've been writing lists, having discussions and brainstorming like a mofo.
With so many things in the works and crazy ideas flying around its hard to know where to start.
Today I am having a break for all of that and taking one of my favourite people out for a day of massive op shopping to celebrate her birthday. Personally it's my favourtie way to spend the day and can only be topped by a day of op shopping with a picnic lunch.

In other news, I currently have a small collection in Red House Vintage store.
there are some ammmmmaaaazzing pieces:

Vintage Floral Sun Dress

Vintage Givenchy Cut Offs

Vintage Cropped Frill Top

Vintage 70s Tennis Shorts

Vintage Crochet Black & White Dress

Vintage Beaded Bustier - sooo awesome

Vintage Nautical Stripe Tee

Vintage 70s Maxi Dress w' Original Tags

Vintage Lace/Crochet Top

Vintage 80s Square Dress

Vintage Polka Dot Shift Dress

Vintage Plaid Picnic Dress

ooh! just while I think of it, I am currently on a crazy dip making mission. Dips are one of my absolute favourite foods and this year I feel that home made dips will be a nice contribution our family Christmas lunch. So before then I need to narrow it down to a top five and perfect the crap out of them. Any ideas, secrets or even recipes would be very welcome!! XX

VINTAGE DREAM DRESS

Sure it's not something that I could pull off but I completely love and respect the amazing awesomeness of this dress...

It has the most amazing pearl detailing, floral rose pattern throughout the material and round cut out in the back.

Has a cooler dress ever existed? I don't think so & honestly these photos just don't do it justice!

Check it out here!!! XXX

NEW IN STORE

So I finally got my act together (and laptop working) long enough to get some awesome new vintage items into the Red House store.

Current collection is super cute, with plenty of dresses and many pieces for easy spring styling... and all starting at just .99c !!!!!!!!!!

Quietly loving this dress and wishing it fit me!sigh.

Over the weekend Dave and I picked up another Kombi load of clothes, so for the last two days I have been busily sorting, contemplating and trying to get some sort of order in my "office". It is actually ridiculous the amount of stock I have. Ridiculous and awesome.

I have so many ideas and plans which I'm hoping will start falling into place over the next few weeks with some photographic evidence to share. I've been super slack with my lack of photos and it's even starting to annoy me.
Speaking of photographic evidence, I'm going to Parklife next Monday to bare witness to the greatness of Missy Elliott. Looking forward to what should be a pretty crazy day. Don't know what the weather is going to be like but I am so tempted to rock an a Adidas tracksuit... if I can find one in time. haha.
This weekend can't come soon enough!
