Have a wonderful new year ! By the team xxx

Hey guys , 
Its your old pal country rose here to say , I want you all to have an absolutely wonderful new year. Eat lots of yummy stuff and have a heck of a fun time. 2013 is going to be wonderful.


If im totally honest , i had a really awful 2012 , so i want to have a great new year. And I want you to have one too! This isn't going to be my last post of the year , but i want to list my top ten favorite things this year! Vintage wise of course! 


1. The Body shop!
I absolutely love this shop , and im surprised i didn't shop there much , but i really started to pay attention to it in 2012. The beautiful natural lipsticks , the makeup , the body moisturizers , all wonderful and good for the planet ! A really great shop that will always stay in my favorites.

2. Rings! 
As if you couldn't tell by most post on rings , i absolutely love them .In all shapes and sizes, whether for humorous values , like my cute accessorize moustache ring , that i can't help but adore , to my FAVORITE , my topshop flower ring .





3. The Volkswagen Beetle ! 
Whether it is the old model of the beetle 
Or the newer brands ...




I can't help but love them. Buttercup would prefer one in red, Tiger-lily , My beautiful friend :) , likes them in baby pink , but I have always loved them in light tea green. What about you ?


4. Peter Pan collar tops! 
Those tops with the cute collars , that buttercup has a lot of.They really help to spruce up any plain top , and make it fashionable and modern.We at Vintage Country Rose adore.

Buttercup has this one !!!


5. Messy bun's 
You dont have to worry about how messy your hair looks anymore,  with the messy bun you can assure yourself that you always look stylish , without having to re-do your hair every five minutes. For a casual senorita like myself , this is ideal , for no stress in the mornings , so maybe you can get to school on time for once ;) Isn't that right Tiger-Lil? 

Buttercup's beautiful messy bun there guys :D She was born to be a model you see!


6. Indie Music ( YES) 
I must confess something , my dear readers...I hate pop music , and skrillex ...did i spell that right? I have no idea.I will explain why you see , they repeat the same couple of lines over and over! And dubstep is just noise! Not music at all.( in my opinion :) ) 

I love indie music , and most other genres. So im happy it was in this year , so its easier to be able to find new songs.I love the sound , and it fits vintage really easily .


7. Red Lips 
Red lips were back in this year , i do love a little pop of colour on my lips , so it was so cool! 





8. Patterned leggings
They have been  all around this year , not just in winter , but even in summer. Whether Christmas themed , with reindeer and snowmen or with aztec patterns and bold colours. They are so easily wearable , they really brighten up an outfit! 



9. Knee- high socks!
Every shape and size can appreciate these amazing wonders! With many different colours and lengths to choose  from, there is a style or everybody (: They are quirky, fun and are great for expressing individuality. 
( By the way hai ^^ I'm Tiger-lily, and I'm in love with socks (: oh and Buttercup and The country Rose  who is also elvis:- which changes everything. . . obviously (; <3) xx


10. Khaki jackets
We likey. Lots and Lots, which is all we can say. We can also say that it makes us feel powerful >:)  Mwahahahahah We shall over ride the world!! (with our AWESOMENESS, oh and with our khaki jackets ! 






Have a wonderful year you lot , and please continue to bring those ratings up in the new year. Good luck! And hope you have a wonderful time !! :D

top 15 trends for 2013 !

              New years on its way! 

Thats its , 2012 is almost over, would you believe it ? I swear it has gone so quickly for me. But it has also been my hardest year for me. So a part of me is glad that its over. But ...watch should we expect from 2013 .As always, im one step ahead , getting all the news for the new year right here for you .Tut , i do spoil you all .

It seems this year as if we are backtracking , back to the simple designs that work so well.

TEN TRENDS FOR THE NEW YEAR 

1. TOP COLOUR IS EMERALD 

Emerald is the colour for the new year , expect clothes to be in that beautiful color , cant wait actually ! Its such a wonderful color , and works wonderfully with leggings - an old favorite 

2. BLACK AND WHITE CHECKS

Woohoo! The sixtees trend is back , and better than ever , with pretty black and white checkered jackets and skirts . Simple but ever so stylish.

3. MINIMALISTICS 

simple colors , and you know what that always brings : denim! Our old friend , we sure have missed lots of denim over this year , we have been more interested in colour jeans, or chinos , leather skirts .But i have so much denim that i cannot WAIT to wear .Yay! 

4. BRIGHT COLOURS FOR NIGHTWEAR

For nightwear , its still going to be simple. Expect blues and blacks .And also this fun colour : Orange .So its a mix of the simple with the eye catching. 

5. SUMMER STYLES 

Sunglasses are well on trend , all types , all with bright colors and designs.Simple tshirts with sayings written on them are in again , thats one trend i wont be a part of. But still bright blues and oranges are on the catwalk again! 

6. STRIPES 

Any color really , just lots and lots of stripes. I love this trend , and couldn't wait for it to appear again. Its so simple and classic. And such a staple , but also easy to wear! You can change them so they are edgy , soft , girly , tom boyish , anything you want at all! They are so versatile. Can't wait! 

7. EDGY LEATHER IS STILL IN! 

Im so happy. One trend I didn't want to let go of this year was the leather that was brought in in 2012. Don't lie, it made you feel powerful.Im so glad its back in.And its bringing its friend : Colored leather , could it be any better? 

8. INDIAN STYLE BEAUTY 

Dresses like sari's , bringing in bright colors like pink and bright blue , sparkles and lots of sequins. How beaautiful. Almost certain to make you feel wonderful.I can imagine those pretty dresses , wow.

9. THE SHORT- SUIT

Imagine this , a beautiful suit , but the bottom half is only shorts , may not be that wearable for everyday .But will be certain to make an impact. Not quite so wearable , but strong and edgy, can't wait to see the vogue magazines. 

10. SPORTY DRESSES 

These , are the real musthave of the new year , can you possible imagine? A new type of dress! That you can wear both as a night outfit , or for day. The best colors being red , black and white. Figure-hugging tops , with floaty floral skirts, an unbelievable combination!

11. FLAT AND LOW HEELS 

Yes , you did just read that right .LOW HEELS! Which means us girlies an actually walk for once! And walk in style , what an amazing trend. Beautiful shoes and feet that don't hurt! 

AND NOW FOR THE HAIR TRENDS....

12. BRAIDS 

Ahh braids , being able to go around all day , not having to worry about sorting out your hair again , because let's face it , it doesn't matter how messy your braid is.They always look beautiful .And they are going to be in for 2013 ! Side braids and individual braids are new too! 

13. PERFECT CURLS 

Better have your curling wands ready girls ! Next year calls for Perfectly curled hair , and wavy hairstyles .I think i just heard the sound of thousands of girls with curly hair squeal.Your in luck girlies. 

14. OMBRE COLORED HAIR

For those of us who don't speak "Fancy hair terms" that means to have different color highlights at the ends of your hair .Those girls , like me , who have naturally lighter hair at the bottom, are very very happy with this. But this trend can suit everyone! There is also the REVERSE OMBRE , meaning when you have a different color hair at the top of your head , which sounds strange but actually looks very beautiful  ( look at pictures of Beyonce and you will see what i mean) 4

15. BOLD HAIR COLOR , DIP DYED ENDS AND LITTLE DASHES OF COLOR

Now my lovelies , is the official time for a little bit of a color spurt. Did dyped ends and still going to be in ( thank goodness , i absolutely love them! ) and now the more dynamic look is in , dashes of colour in your hair , or "pops" of colour as they call them now .You dont have to go all out though , with bright colors .You could go for a more natural color , like a darker brown , or a blonde.. But one thing is for sure , bright colours are IN!

Thank you all so much for reading ! Feel free to comment and tell me what you think of the new trends. I would love to hear from you. Good luck , and have a wonderful 2013!
