Charity Shop Haul

Hello beauties,

 

Last Thursday I went charity shopping with two of my friends and we found a whole bunch of goodies, so much so that I thought I would share them with you. We went to Cosham, Fareham and Eastleigh; all of which are amazing for charity shops. I always find atleast one thing when shopping in each of these places so you can imagine me and my friends having a feild day when we went to all three in one day!

 

Anyway, here is a little look at everything I bought on the day from my Instagram and a little video at the end too when I go through each item in more detail :)

 

I hope you like what I bought!

 

196. Clashing Prints

Blouse:  Charity Shop

Jeans:  New Look (extremely old!!)

 

Hello lovelies,

 

I'm not too sure if I will upload this look to Lookbook yet but I thought I would blog it anyway as I quite liked the clash of prints. Today I am feeling really poorly so I opted for comfy clothes, but still presentable, if you like, as I went shopping with my Mum, something which we both needed!

 

I had a really lovely girlie day with my Mum buying a few beauty products, one of which is the Sleek Brow Kit which I have been eyeing up for absolutely ages so my Mum treated me, bless her :) So I'm really looking forward to using that! I also bought one of Rimmel's Apocalips lip lacquer's which is so lovely! I don't usually wear glossy lipsticks/lip glosses but this one is really great. I haven't worn it for a full day yet but I will write about it soon :)

 

My Mum also bought me my graduating dress!!! I fell in love as soon as I saw it and it fits like a dream! Unfortunately you guys will have to wait until June to see it as I'm keeping it a secret until the big day (I'm not sure why...haha).

 

I hope you've all had a great day. Have a wonderful weekend!

Vintage shopping in Paris

Helloo!! As you all know I went to Paris on Thursday with my lovely friend Charlotte. We have been meaning to go there for about two years now and finally decided to go and hit all the vintage shops we could find, and I turns out we found a lot more than we thought we would!

I went to Paris two years ago with my uni and we were allowed to venture out and do what we want and me and my friends found two completely amazing vintage shops which I told Charlotte about when I got back. We decided we would go and I'd show her these amazing shops, although I have to say I was a bit worried that they wouldn't be there anymore considering it was two years ago! However, as we were strolling around the streets looking for the right street name we finally found them both and they have not changed one single bit!! I was so, so happy and the shops did not fail us! We bought so much, as I am about to show you, because they just have so many amazing vintage clothes! We also found loads of vintage shops along the way too, but these particular two were the best.

Anyway, enough of my rambling and reminiscing of Paris (yes, I have got the Paris blues already!!), here is what I bought, and I apologise now for the horrible image quality!

Pretty pink cardigan with lovely silver buttons.
10 Euros.

 Levi's shorts which fit perfectly!
10 Euros.

 Some of you may think this is horrible, but I just love the print so I am going to completely re-work this dress as the low waist is really unflattering and it is too big for me anyway.
10 Euros.

 I really love the material and print here but I'm not sure whether to keep this as a maxi skirt or take it up or even make it into shorts. What do you lovelies think?
A bargain 5 Euros!

Love this scarf and for 1 Euro it was a must have!

 This looks a bit funny layed out but when it is on it looks like a little 1950's cape.
1 Euro!

These are mens shorts I think but I'm going to take them in and up and hopefully they will look ok.
1 Euro.

 

 Pretty blue's skirt which I will be taking up and in.
1 Euro.

 I am in love with this blue print and lace collar blouse and for 1 Euro I had to buy it!

 These shorts almost fit perfectly but I've had to take them in half an inch each side. I'm wearing them today so keep a look out for my outfit post later on tonight :)
1 Euro.

 Loving the tartan pattern lately and needed a bit of red in my wardrobe so this skirt was perfect! It needs taking it quite a bit but I think I'll keep the length for more of a pencil skirt look.
5 Euros.

Mine and Charlottes first day of vintage shopping! Haha!

This was the best vintage shop which I first experienced two years ago called 'Free 'P' Star'. If you ever go to Paris you have to visit and if you need the address just email me :)

Brighton

Hello lovelies! As I mentioned yesterday I went to Brighton today with my lovely friend Gemma. It was such a lovely day out browsing all of the lovely, quirky shops and the weather was really good too! Here are a few little snap shots of the day and I promice I will be back to posting outfit posts and DIY's as of tomorrow :)

158. Under the Sun

Sunglasses:  Dublin

Dress:  Urban Outfitters

Belt:  New Look

Bag:  Charity Shop

Shoes:  New Look

 

 

Hey sweeties! Isn't the weather gorgeous today?! I was having trouble thinking of a title for this post and then I started to watch Cheryl Cole's new song, just randomly, and the lyrics 'under the sun' just seemed to fit perfectly! So thank you, Cheryl Cole, for inspiring the post title :)

 

 

Anyway, on to the outfit! I went shopping with my lovely friend Victoria today and as the sun was shinning I didn't want to wear anything too layered or chuncky so I went for this dress. At first I thought it was a bit silly, thinking I would be way too hot in a dark green dress, but I was suprisingly cool! Haha. I've nipped in the dress at the waist with a belt and decided to use my beautiful new bag which I bought last week from a charity shop in Farnham. Finishing with a pair of small wedge, lace-up shoes to complete the outfit and I am wearing my hair up for a change too! What do you think?

 

 

I have been hearing the hype about these River Island disco pants and I have always wanted a pair but just couldn't bring myself to spend £70 on a pair of American Apparel ones. So, seeing as I was shopping I thought I would try out the River Island ones and Oh My! I looove them! They fit perfectly and are so comfortable! And for £30, well, what more need I say?! If you have been uming and ahing like me then I would definitely recommend trying the River Island ones. They fit great and the material is thick - not thin like leggings which is what I have heard about a few pairs of AA replicas, and they are high-waisted too! I cannot stop praising them!

Anyway, enough of my rambling! Happy Friday!



Payday Purchases

Hello beauties! Another post today just to show you what I bought yesterday when I went shopping. I didn't actually buy too much compared to what I usually do, so I was quite pleased.

Black Shorts:  New Look  //  Playsuit:  Primark  //   Bracelet:  New Look  //  Denim Shorts:  New Look  //  Both Tights:  New Look
