Winter warmer

This charity gem passes the handbag by, I am offically in love. I have been after a chunky knit baggy jumper since september, saw one in Topshop but alas I could not find the £48 to buy it. Seems to be the story of my life recently.

I was trying to waste some time during my lunch hour at Uni as you do and thought id pop into my favourite charity shop to see if I could find any bargains. After picking up a shoe shaped soap from the V&A museum and trying on a fur coat for ages umming and ahhing on wether I could actually afford the £20 (decided against it, I need the money for alcohol at the weekend), I spied a cream woolly arm. Lo and behold it was a chunky knit baggy jumper not too different from the topshop version and for only £3.55! It has brown speckles in it which wasent really what I was after buy hey I can afford to buy another one when i see it at this price.

Please dont mind me modelling it, Ive just finished Uni and look a tad rough but I think it looks so much better on than it does off! Ive just realised that this photo makes me look consipated, oh well not everyone can be good with having their photo taken!

Isnt it a beaut?

Im going to attempt a full outfit post on Saturday, been reading far too many blogs and wanna do one myself! It is suppose to be about fashion after all!

Charity shop gem

I have been reading a lot of blogs recently, maybe too many since I have Uni work to do. I have been trying to balance them out.

I keep coming across of these girls that find some gems in charity shops and car boots. Im always in a charity, never usually find much at all apart from some books. I can also never find anything cheap, I dont know what sort of charity shops sell things for £3, the ones around here must be the selfridges of charity shops.
I feel like im constantly on the look out for that special purchase. I want my very own gem.

Well I think I found it on Wednesday.

Its no secret that I enjoy dressing like a throw back from the past, I dont dress exactly how I want due to the looks and stares you get in this chavvy town but im getting braver as im older.

This bag is a beaut, its in perfect condition and just the right size. It reminds me of a bag I would see my great nan with every christmas. I have been on the look out for one for ages, keep bidding on ebay but they go too high for my liking.

I am so happy with it, used it everyday since. A mere bargain at £5.99. Its worth every penny.

Vintage delights

Now I must admit when someone mentions Colleen Rooney, she does not strike me as someone who I would look to as a fashion Icon. Give her credit though, she has come a long way from those yellow moon boots. They actually made me throw up a little in my mouth.

But this dress, oh this is a beauty. A lot of critics slated it and said she was too young to wear it, its made her look frumpy yadda yadda. But I think its divine for those very reasons, I love the fact it looks frumpy, like a throwback from the past and something that my nan might have worn in her heyday. I love everything about it, the colour, the frills at the bottom, the pleats to be honest I could go on and on.

Im going to make it my mission to find one while im on my travels to vintage and charity shops. A dress like this is right up my street.




I wouldnt mind a pair of Louboutins like Colleen either if im honest. Id change the bag though, something just doesnt look right with it.
