Charity Shop Haul

Thursday, 20 February 2014

I am a great charity shop lover as I'm sure you will all know, so today I thought I'd give you a recent charity shop haul. Lets get down to business then.!


Reworked skirt / £2.99
Ring dish / £1.50
Dark tartan scarf / £1.99
White tartan scarf / 50p


I've been looking online recently for a pretty ring dish for my room, but the few that I found just weren't to my specific taste and some way overpriced for what they were. So I took to the charity shops as I usually do and there it was sitting there smiling at me. I really love the floral embellishment in the dish as it gives it a splash of colour and gets me in the mood for spring. It's the perfect size for all of my rings (so far) and is just handy in the morning when i'm in a rush and I can just run an grab one on my way out. Now I have one I see them everywhere in charity shops, if I'm not careful I'll end up with a whole collection of ring dishes in my bedroom.


I have to thank my lovely mother for this find. On her travels she always pops into charity shops and rummages until she finds something I wouldn't even pick out, but I'm extremely glad she picked this out. This skirt was originally a midi but again my mother being the kind loving woman she is, turned it up for me. I wear this skirt at least once a week because it's so easy to style with things and is just perfect for the winter months where the only things I seem to wear are monochrome. The pattern is just basic which again helps when trying to style it with something. I just love this skirt and I can see it being a staple piece for the years to come.


I am a huge lover of tartan and checks. I'm not a fan of bright red tartan, but I'm a lover of the dark's, as again they're so much easier to style with pieces. I've picked up so many checked scarfs in the past but these by far are my favourites. The top scarf is really long whereas the bottom scarf is one where it will just sit around your neck, so it's great depending on how cold it is that I have a choice of multiple scarfs. They're a great accessory to spice up a plain outfit.

Lou Lou's Vintage Fair

Sunday, 16 February 2014

Hello my lovelies!

Today I thought I'd take you out with me to a magical place in which dreams are made of, a vintage fair. As soon as I found out Lou Lou's Vintage Fair was coming to Norwich I had no choice but to go and delve into tons and tons of beautiful garments. It was a really lovely day out and for a vintage fair it was pretty dam cheap (not that i'm complaining), each stall was a different era to the next, it was almost like travelling back in time.
Stalls ranged from clothing, shoes, jewelry, fur pieces, home ware and millions of beautiful accessories. If a vintage fair comes near to where you live I highly suggest going, even if you don't buy anything It's a great cheap day out (this fair was only £2 entry). Here are just a few pictures I took at the fair.

OOTD Autumn Leaves

Sunday, 20 October 2013













Hello you beautiful people! It's been far too long since I've made a post for you all! I got carried away with the stress of A levels, but i'm back and I thought I'd give you all something a little different today, I'm not usually an OOTD kind of girl but I volunteered myself forward to be a model for my friend Britts (BrittsBazaar) Media project and University portfolio. I take no credit for the outfit as it was all styled beautifully by Britt, but I'd thought I'd share with you all what I'm wearing!

Dress- Topshop 
Cardigan- Topshop
Necklace- Forever 21
Shoes- Converse

What's one of your staple Autumn pieces?



Fashion Union Wishist

Friday, 20 September 2013

When I received an email from etailPR about a competition to win £500 to spend at FASHION UNION, I thought I'd give it a shot but it wasn't until I had a good look through the website that I realised how much on there I actually loved (too much to fit on a wish list). I managed to narrow it down to 3 outfit ideas.



 All of these outfits are plain and simple but can be dressed up or down with accessories. Monochrome is perfect for the Autumn/Winter months, it's most possibly my favourite trend to wear because it's effortless and easy. These three statement jewellery pieces are perfect to wear with simple outfits like these as they add that little bit extra that can make an outfit. These boots are both on my Christmas whether I win this or not as they're so practical and can be worn with nearly anything. Lastly are my statement outfits, I am in love with all three of these they are just perfect. The playsuit is perfect to wear on a night out or to an event and can be dressed up or down, I just love this playsuit! The other two dresses are perfect for a shopping day out or to wear for college/sixthform, I would wear these two dresses constantly as they're so easy to wear and look really comfortable.

So that's my Fashion Union wishlist, and I have to say I will be totally jealous of whoever wins this competition because their clothes are to die for! If you want to enter this competition yourself, you can find the details HERE.
