Pop Up Vintage Shop

I love pop-up shops. These are shops which appear for a few days in some empty shop or dismal shopping centre or echoing hotel, like magic. Then they are gone again. Which should be sad but makes it more exciting!

One such is the Candybelle Vintiques Fair held in the moribund Academy Shopping Centre, Aberdeen.

I scored this lovely (1970s?) dress by German label Emmeline Wessel (£30) and gold lurex 60s evening bag (£8). There were also amazing 60s homewares and a VW campervan selling old luggage and decorative items. Use facebook, council websites or flyers to track down your nearest pop up fairs, it's well worth it!
