Vintageous Rags: Halloween Special

By on 30th October 2015in Lifestyle, Local Biz, What's New?

Grace Stringer, owner of Middlesbrough’s hottest vintage and retro boutique, Vintageous Rags, shares a one-off Halloween outfit…

Hey, witchy women!

Halloween is looming, and we were feeling so inspired after our Cruella de Vil outfit that we thought we’d do a Halloween special. Feeling spooky?

This outfit is great for the witching hour, because you can make it as dramatic as you like, depending on the makeup and accessorises you choose to go with it. 

You could make it all cute and sexy, or you could go full on scary, gory, zombified, dead…!

A red velvet skirt (M £12) is always a winner when Halloween comes around, and the faux leather lace up top (UK10 £10) just screams hocus-pocus!

Add a witch hat, a choker, and a few cobwebs, and that’s your Halloween outfit sorted!

So… trick or treat? 😉

You can find this outfit in our Baker Street store, Middlesbrough, or you can shop online at www.vintageousrags.com. See you soon!

Vintageous Rags: Outfit Of The Week #3

Grace Stringer, owner of Middlesbrough’s hottest vintage and retro boutique, Vintageous Rags, shares this week’s favourite outfit…

With Halloween just around the corner, I thought we’d have a little fun with this week’s outfit, pulling inspiration from one of Disney’s biggest villains. Can you guess who it is?

Cruella de Vil!

This outfit would be fab for Halloween, but the pieces all work great on their own too, so they can be worn again separately.

First of all, faux fur is back again. Like always, it creeps back around this season, and I love it! This fur cape (Small £26) is a perfectly cosy example, perfect for Autumn and Winter.

As well as fur, we love a bit of sparkle. This glam, black maxi dress (UK12 £22) would work great as a festive party dress, as well as a crucial part of our Cruella homage.

I’ve accessorised this outfit with glam 80s dead stock sunnies (£12), and a vintage 70s pendant necklace with matching earrings (£12). Finally, because we all know Cruella loved her animal skin, I’ve added a snake skin bag (£15) to complete the look.

Oh, and the shoes are mine 😉

Vintageous Rags: Outfit Of The Week #2

Grace Stringer, owner of Middlesbrough’s hottest vintage and retro boutique, Vintageous Rags, shares this week’s favourite outfit…

Winter is creeping up, but we aren’t ready to face it just yet!

A denim dress is perfect for this transitional period, and this one (UK10 £18) is great for layering. If it does get a little chilly, a turtle neck would look fab underneath, or maybe a cute jacket over the top?

I’ve added this tapestry button-up cropped jacket (M £18), and I just love the autumn colours. It’s teamed with a tan leather belt (£4) to break it up a bit, and accessorised with a headscarf (£4) and statement necklace (£7).

Don’t forget a pair of 70s sunnies (£7) to finished the look off!

The great thing about denim is that it’s so difficult to get wrong. It’s versatile all year round, and there aren’t many colours that won’t compliment it.

Vintageous Rags: Outfit Of The Week #1

Grace Stringer, owner of Middlesbrough’s hottest vintage and retro boutique, Vintageous Rags, shares this week’s favourite outfit…

 

Everyone needs a little black dress, and especially for Autumn and Winter.

It’s a safety net for us girls. Super easy to glam up, but never over the top. This week’s dress (UK12 £16) is especially great, because not only can you jazz it up, but you can also use it for layering. Plus, sleeves are definitely a bonus when it’s chilly!

Here I’ve added a splash of colour to the outfit by using a head scarf (£4), 80’s belt (M £12), and an evening handbag (£12) to brighten it up. You can do whatever you like with it though… with an LBD, anything goes!
