Winner, winner CHICKEN DINNER!

Hiya folks! First of all let me say BONJOUR and a jolly warm welcome to the O-fficial blog post/portal into the minds of the Vintage Wardrobe, Headingley - from now on, Nicole, myself and any other special guests we lay our eyes on [i'm looking at YOU, Baker! Don't hide behind your olive bread!] will be bringing you vintage ramblings, pearls, pictures and funny spellings on a regular basis to share a bit of the madness with you lot. But first of all, a raising of the glass; last Sunday night was the illustrious Leeds Retail Awards. Yes, all the Leeds retail bigwigs gathered in one room in their finest, soaking up the atmosphere and absorbing the booze. Nominated for 'best vintage' shop [not actually Best Vintage, the shop - oh the confusion] we waited nonchalantly for the winner of this one-horse race [cos, you know, being optimistic is like to-tally lame] and, would you believe it, Mr. speaker man said....

WOOP WOOP! Thanks to YOU lovely voters, our little outfit was voted 'Best Vintage Shop in Leeds!' MANIC! There was laughter, there were tears, there was suddenly talk of a trophy cabinet...all of which couldn't have been possible without YOU! A hundred, million, zillion times we say thank you! Here's a few snaps of the awards and the award. Feast your eyes on the prize [but not your fingers! You'll scuff it!]

Expect further posts depicting Wednesday's celebratory in-store party with hats, champers and outfit changes. Heck, even Baker and the Queen of Russia made an appearance [wait for the photos folks] Safe to say though, because of you lot, we are grinning like cheshire cats!

Until next time,

VW ouuuuuut x
