Large beaded fabric necklaces



I am really loving the look and style of these large beaded/fabric necklaces. First saw them earlier this year in Istanbul and the larger and more colourful the better. This would look great on a nice long graceful neck.

Kimono wraps


This is one of my favourite vintage pieces, the kimono wrap. It's sheer fabric is comfortable and chic.
You would definately turn heads in this one. Looks great with
skinny jeans and tall boots. Found it at a vintage boutique in NYC.
Got a great black obi belt from Primark to put with it.

Faux wrapdress



This is a really smart faux wrap dress by 1884 Marks & Spencer.
I love the colour and Tahiti style print.
It has a clean look to it and will look fabulous with heeled boots.
The faux wrap dress is always a good look in autumn.

Dress Blues



I found this vintage US Air Force jacket years ago and was not quite sure what to do with it. A friend of mine in London wore an American military jacket very similar to it and wow it looked really cool. It's a great piece to add to a vintage wardobe and looks good with a nice cotton buttondown, jeans and Oxfords. It has such a smart look.

Bags/Boots/Belts/Blazers

At Amartab we love great vintage and shopping for new pieces to add.
Currently I am in the US and searching vintage shops and thrift stores for cool fashions to bring back for the shop.
I've just come across some awesome pieces that you will love. It's autumn and the shops have loads of cool new things to buy at killer prices.
A shopping tip I learned from a buyer this morning is to stick with the four Bs when it comes to second hand shopping. Bags, Boots, Belts and Blazers! and boy have I come across some great ones. Looking forward to bring some new but used steals to the page. Check us out in a few weeks.
