VINTAGE GLAMOUR GIRL: NICOLE WARNE



 
Author/ Creator: NICOLE WARNE

Vintage style, not to be confused with antique or retro, is defined as clothing either used or new (from dead stock), which was manufactured in a non contemporary era… generally speaking, it refers to clothing and accessories made and worn between the 1920’s and 1975. This pre loved style of fashion is in vogue right now and looks like it’s around to stay, with celebs such as Sienna Miller, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kate Moss jumping on the band wagon and mixing their fav vintage pieces with in-season looks.

Today’s featured blogger and owner of the online store Gary Pepper Vintage, Nicole Warne knows a thing or two about vintage style. Aged at only 21, this bright eyed business woman is goal driven and knows exactly what she wants.

Initially, Nicole began her blog as a supplement to her online store, documenting the journey and experiences encountered at GPV. Although, her fashion background and her borderline obsession with anything and everything vintage resulted in her blog eventually becoming a fashion blog consisting of a mixture of vintage, her personal style, general musings, daily rants and photography.

“For some reason, my blog is extremely personal and I’ve been told that’s what makes it so appealing,” said Nicole.
Although having a very busy schedule running her gorgeous online store, Nicole tries to find the time to make about 3 blog posts a week. As a blogger, she is more focused on posting high quality posts and putting a lot of thought and time into what she wants to share on her blog. “For me its more about quality than quantity,” said Nicole, whose emotive writing style and user friendly layout make her blog very attractive to current and potential followers.

She gains most of her inspiration from walking the streets and observing street style, and flicking through online look books as she believes this makes her ideas more relatable and more accessible for style savvy shoppers.

Number one tip from Nicole: “”Be creative, be yourself and just have fun!”


RR would like to thank Nicole for keeping vintage fashion alive! Her quirky, can do attitude should be an inspiration to us all!
