Second Style By Portobello Box





My second Bello Box arrived just before I left for my holiday in Cornwall. My postie, who might just be the happiest postman around, has taken to joking about the amount of parcels I receive. It's true, there's a lot of post that turns up at my door. Getting post is a lifeline for someone who can't get out much, so I was very much looking forward to seeing what vintage treasures were inside this box.
I took my box into the garden to open and take a peak inside and  I found an unusual vintage fabric bag in a pretty pale blue colour and a string of off white beads. Pixie thought the box was fabulous, claiming it as her own the minute I opened it and even hissed at me when I tried to move the bag! She's such a diva!
The bag is really versatile, I would use it as a lightweight handbag in summer and think it's pretty enough to hang on a wardrobe door holding threads and needles away from prying paws.

The necklace, which almost became ruined by Pixie as she got over excited by the arrival of the box, is lovely, it goes with so much and is a fantastic accessory for summer. 

I'm really enjoying having a box of vintage accessories hand picked to my tastes turn up at my door, the people at Style By Portobello have done a fab job at scouting out items that I would love. Today I've teamed both my Bello Box treasures with a simple dress by Miss Patina for an easy effortless summer outfit. 

I'll have one more Portobello Box to share with you before my ambassador subscription is up. If you would like to subscribe or see what it's all about in more detail then check out the website (here).

Hope you're having a good week.

  1. I've heard so many good things about these boxes, and yours doesn't disappoint either! I love the bag especially, it's such a pretty blue (and I can imagine a Disney princess wearing it too!)

  3. Oh, the pieces are absolutely great! The way you styled them, too, is gorgeous; I'm a huge sucker for anything vintage! And ah, how Pixie would get along with my lil' boy -- he's an absolutely nutter for boxes too, haha! Can't wait to see more of your boxes!

  10. Pixie is a very pretty lady, I can imagine she behaves like a little diva sometimes *giggles*. The handbag is super cute and so romantic. I can imagine some posh Victorian lady carrying it around. Haha :) Very nice pictures Emma xxx

  18. The idea of a monthly vintage box is so cool! And that bag looks perfect for summer and I can imagine it going perfectly with outfits that aren't all-vintage too!
