Monty's Lounge

Sunday, 10 November 2013


A little while ago when visiting my boyfriend, we went for a wander around Bournemouth's home of all things retro, vintage and unique... Boscombe. We discovered a quirky little restaurant and lounge bar with a hint of vintage called Monty's Lounge, which I knew was my sort of my place! We decided we were going to come back and that's what we did this week, two and a half years together was definitely an excuse to eat out. It's cosy (with it's cute fairy lights) and chilled, and due to it's small size I would recommend booking a table beforehand.


I started with a jam jar cocktail (I just had to have one) and went for a 'Summer Breeze'. Despite it being autumn, I still loved this fruity and fizzy drink.


Tasty burgers served with homemade rustic chips are currently on the menu and they were oh so delicious. I can be a bit of a critic when it comes to meat, no dry boring meat for me please, but the beef was juicy and flavoursome.


I really wanted the chocolate mousse in a vintage teacup but when warm brownies were an option, I couldn't say no! I also sadly couldn't finish the last bit of my yummy brownie.


We went home with our tummies full, feeling happy.

Hampshire's OctoberFest

VINTAGE LEVI'S JACKET: BRICK LANE MARKET

On Saturday, my boyfriend and I went to Hampshire's OctoberFest at the Milestones Museum in Basingstoke. It was a weekend of beer, cider, food, music, cute and slightly scary animals. We were so lucky to dodge the rain but the beer and music tent was huge and warm so they were prepared for miserable October weather anyway. Tickets included entrance to the vintage museum which came alive with an old penny arcade where you could exchange your money for big old pennies, a 1940's sweet shop selling old fashioned sweets (I had to buy some lemon sherbets) and a cosy pub. I had never been to the festival before, but we both had a great time and would definitely go again!

A trip back in time...

I've always loved vintage style and décor and thought I would share some photos of my cosy vintage themed bedroom.
