blondiesparkles.: Glam Rocks Pop Up Shop

'Bringing together a mixture of artists, designers, shops selling anything a bit different/glam/party to include customised and premium vintage, accessories and adornments, bindis, not your run of the mill women's and menswear' - Glam Rocks

I headed down to Glam Rocks last Saturday to help out the lovely Steph from Your Label & to hopefully fill my shopper with some wonderful new findings, the space at The Alekano Club was small, but perfect for the few stalls to showcase all their lovely designs & treasures to each other and the shoppers.

All around the pop up shop were beautiful headpieces and jewelry, artwork, bindis, gorgeous, multi-coloured, sequin all in ones, super, shiny eyelashes, bags, embellished capes, crystals, feathers, platform heels, lots of vintage & reworked vintage clothing- & last but not least, massive helpings of mulled wine & chocolate :)

I went to spend the day with Steph at Your Label.. the label take vintage clothing and revamp it to make every item one of a kind and truly unique. Steph had some amazing bits at the stall last week, a beautiful gold, cropped jacket with dark feathers she had attached to the sleeves (I want!), a heavily sequined pastel jacket, embellished knits, a gorgeous, floor length velvet dress with slits up to the thigh and lots of other colourful, sparkly, studded and feathered items she has worked her magic on to give them a new lease of life!

Steph was also selling Shimmer Twins eyelashes, the lash campaign is fronted by Jaime Winstone as Cleopatra looking stunning wearing the red, heart lashes, they are perfect for the December party season! Shimmer Twins even made Steph some 'Your Label' eyelashes to wear on the stall - divine eye party wear.

Your:Label were working along side Liz Mendez vintage, Liz was selling a mixture of jewelry and treasure she has sourced over the years, she had gold platform heels, chain design bomber jacket, a vintage Escada belt which got snapped up! Vivienne Westwood bag, a beautiful fluffy fur hat - I still have my eye on this! - and all things gold & shiny.. but it seemed everyone's favourite was the 3 items for £10 bargain bag with a selection of clothes, belts, bags, trousers, hats on offer that Liz was desperate to get rid of due to her ever expanding wardrobe!

Other stalls I loved were Tattilulah & Alter Ego..

When Alter Ego were setting up, I couldn't stop looking at their stall - my magpie eyes were drawn to all the sequins & patterns.. sparkle heaven, there were embellished capes and over the top (in a good way) hooded, sequin all in ones - definite disco diva festival wear. The authentic Maasai jewelry was stunning, they had cuffs, necklaces, fringed chokers & earrings, all beaded and in tribal deisgns. I get paid tomorrow - yay - and will be buying one of their tribal cuffs - can't wait to wear it!

At Tattilulah you pick a chain, pick a charm and pick a crystal to make up a necklace unique to you. Most of the crystals & charms are sourced from India and other places Lucy goes to on her travels, they are then brought back to London for necklace making fun. The charms include spoons, skulls, crosses, mirrors, razorblades, mini viles & shovels, a tibetan water pot, a swallow & lots more.. it's no surprise it's called the 'Elegantly Wasted' necklace ;)

I put my necklace together with a silver chain, a silver cross & spoon, an aventurine crystal & a silver tube cigarette holder - I love it & that I've put it together myself with the crystals and charms most suited to me. Tattiluah also customise clothing & other accessories such as earrings.

Other labels at the shop were Claudia Pink jewelry, Electric Eyes, Who We Are, Beautiful Things Vintage, Beautiful Bindis, Odd Society Apparel, Jo'lene Henry, Mr Verde & Laura Alvarado.

Make sure you get down to the next Glam Rocks to bag yourself some truly unique pieces like I did!
