A great concept for an event - a pic n' mix were you select items and pay per kilo. So you could buy 4/5 pieces for just £20. Or you could buy a selected outfit for £30. Winning! Plus you can have a rummage while looking, which is a plus in my books - I quite like a rummage!

I went to this event later in the day as Smidge and myself went to the Ulster Museum and Pizza Express for lunch with his younger brother. Unsure if the event was still going on by the time we'd had lunch, so I fired off a quick Tweet to their Twitter Page. Got an amazingly quick response saying that it was open to 6.30 p.m. It was only a bit after 5 so quickly made our way down to the Black Box in Cathedral Quarter of Belfast for the event.
First impressions were really good, there was music being played by a DJ which was a nice touch. The rails were all well spaced out so there was plenty of room for people to browse without being on top of eachother. I also liked how the clothes were categorised - a rail for shirts, a rail for skirts, a table of shorts; you get the idea.
There was also a girl doing gel nails for only £12 - unfortunately didn't have time but hope it will be there again. Shopping and nails in the same venue equals a happy camper!
I decided to have a wee rummage around and I found a gorgeous black satchel nestled in a suitcase full of different pieces. It has loads of pockets so will be great for uni when I go back. No over the shoulder strap but I'll make one myself.
I also spied a lovely red fitted A-line skirt. I wouldn't usually go for bright colours for skirts but loved this colour so thought I'd give it a go. Didn't try it on at time and was praying it would fit and lucky enough it does...Will be great with a sheer blouse or crisp white shirt.
A big plus of this event was that the rails were replenished throughout the day - no empty rails in sight or girls fighting at closing time over the last pair of vintage shorts. Another big plus was that unisex clothing was sold; I go to so many events and there is nothing for my Smidge...The girls who served me were all friendly and upbeat; service with a smile is so important to me!
Since this event was so successful there is another event soon by Lola's Vintage on the Saturday the 27th of July from 10am to 6.30pm in Love and Death in Belfast City centre, (near Victoria Square). Really looking forward to it and can't wait to grab some lovely vintage items! For event details click here for the Facebook Link Lola's Vintage Kilo Sale - July Event
