Urban Outfitters Blazers

Hello everyone - a quick little post today to tell you all about the gorgeous new blazers we have in from Urban Outfitters



Soft, rose pink crushed velvet in a boho drape style. Would add a touch of vintage glam to any outfit. They are by the Vaudeville and Burlesque label and were £98! All brand new with tags and an absolute steal at just £15. We have them in XS, S, M and L and you can purchase them from the shop or at www.queenofthreads.co.uk 

Will be keeping one of these for myself! Have a great Saturday and speak to you all very soon xx

Pretty Vintage Dresses

Hello again. Just had to write a quick post to share with you the BEAUTIFUL vintage dresses that came in yesterday. Firstly is this

Laura Ashley - Size 12


wonderful Laura Ashley Dress. Its a 1980s item but in a 50s style and its just so pretty. Laura Ashley were famous for their romantic floral and have made a comeback in recent years especially in the interior design field. This epitomises what they were about in the eighties. I'll probably sell this online as there are quite a few collectors but if you are interested, comment here or on Facebook and I'll give you a bit more info.

Secondly I found this original 1950s dress


and I'm so sad that its not my size as it would have been perfect for all my Spring and Summer special occasions. Alas, it is a 14 so I shall have to send it off to live with someone else! Its so pretty and the primrose yellow is just really...happy, if that makes sense! I'd team this with a pair of nude heels and wear for a wedding or christening. Like the Laura Ashley dress above, this will probably be destined for an online sale but just let me know if it something you'd like more info on. 

I never tire of finding pretty things for the shop and I love it when I come up with little gems like these.

Speak to you soon

A new year.....

Hi everyone. I'm feeling very guilty for the lack of blogging, but in amongst the 101 other things I do for the shop, it often gets lost! Still, it's a new year so I'm going to try and post a bit more regularly 

Queen of Threads celebrated it's 2nd birthday at the end of November. I honestly can't believe how quickly the time has passed. It's great to feel a bit more established now and we're looking forward to another busy, busy year! 

The shop is full to the brim with gorgeous items at the moment. We have some really special vintage pieces in


like this beautiful satchel. It's in genuine tan brown leather and looks just like one from The Cambridge Satchel Co! It's £25 and available in store now. Comment here or send me a message on our Facebook ( www.facebook.com/queenofthreads) page if you'd like to buy online.


These boots are another awesome vintage find. They are so on trend - the high street are full of styles like this, but these are 90s originals. They're a Size 5 and £25. Grab them from the shop or head over to our website www.queenofthreads.co.uk to buy online

I adore this vintage aviator jacket too - SO warm! A bargain at £50


How cute is this? It's a vintage 80s piece and I just love the flying ducks print. This is a steal at only £12 and you can buy it from our shop or website

I nearly fell of my chair when these came in. Vintage 1970s Gucci bags! They are just beautiful and are real pieces of fashion history. We've had them as display pieces for a few weeks ( mostly because I wanted to keep them for a bit longer!) but it's time they found new owners now, so they are available to buy - message me for more details

Our high street pieces are as popular as ever and as usual we have a big selection of sizes and styles.



How cute is this? It's from a brand called The Mountain at ASOS and is only £10. Great everyday piece

This is a cute Topshop dress. Lilac lace and a pretty little Peter Pan collar. These were £48 last year in Topshop - ours is just £12! Find it in store or at www.queenofthreads.co.uk


Dungarees have been massive over the last year and these River Island beauts are just great - black and white striped and great for day or night. They're a Size 10 and are £15.


More River Island! Brown Leather Military Boots in Size 6 - £15

I try and make sure that everything I have in the shop is also available for you to buy online at our website www.queenofthreads.co.uk - if you can't find what you want to buy there, let me know and I can quickly list it for you. We deliver anywhere in the UK for just £2.95 and overseas for £6.95. Alternatively you can make your purchase online and pick up from the shop. 

I promise I'll be posting again very soon - in the meantime, check out our Instagram ( @queenofthreads) , Twitter (@queenofthreads1) and Facebook  (www.facebook.com/queenofthreads) . We love hearing from our customers so do get involved! Happy shopping and speak to you all soon
