Secondhand Scores

I do love a bargain whether its beauty products, vintage goods or good old charity shop rummaging.

The weekend before last my Mum and I took a trip to a vintage market that had been sat up in Ashton Gate, Bristol. Its a football ground but they had a large indoor area which was choc full of vintage goodies!

After walking around open-mouthed for quite some time we set about getting a few little bits and pieces. I could have really spent so much more time and money in there it was fantastic! So many different vendors selling different things I think people would have been hard pushed to not get anything to be honest.
Anyway, here are my purchases:

I loved this cute '60s clock the minute I saw it. I feel like they would have thought "hey, lets make something futuristic like they would use in 2013"
It was also a bargainous £5.
If you want in on a secret, I haven't plugged it in yet because I dont know how to set the alarm and am worried it will go off at any moment (eg 3am when I am sound asleep and have many hours before waking up!)

 Before you say anything just hear me out. I love this jumper. Its crazy pattern, its overly high neckline, its brown and cream madness. Its the thickest, cosiest jumper ever and I think I can make it look cute with skinnies, boots and chunky scarf.

The last thing I got was this ring. It was only £2 and I just thought it was so pretty and unusual. It needs a little love as a bit of the outside has gone a little green but nothing a bit of bicarb cant fix.

Well that was all of my purchases from that trip but Im always on the lookout for cute things!

My ELF order finally arrive so expect some reviews soon!

See you soon,

Bonfire Beauties

Bonfire Night is easily my second favourite seasonal event (after Christmas of course!)
I've never been fussed by Halloween and I would rather just skip New Years all together if Im honest. But there is something I really love about Bonfire Night. The crackle and heat from the bonfire, the hot chocolates and candy floss on sticks, and obviously the ooo-ing and ahh-ing over the pretty fireworks.
One of my most favourite things about it is getting all wrapped up and super cosy.

Heres a little look at the sort of thing I think is perfect for November 5th festivities:

Super soft black bobble hat from New Look

Monki Monochrome Scarf - ASOS

Chunky Jumper ASOS

Skater Coat ASOS

I love this coat - anything with a fit and flare has my vote!

Pleated Kilt in Camo Print ASOS

ASOS Kensal Boots - ASOS

Jack Wills Mini Satchel ASOS

I think this would be so cute for Bonfire Night teamed with some thick black tights and a big hot chocolate!

What is your favourite thing abotu Bonfire Night?

Autumn Essentials

Ah, Autumn. How everyone loves you with your beautiful colours, crisp air and millions of pumpkin based treats!
One of my favourite things about Autumn has got to be the change in colours people wear. Dont get me wrong I can love a pastel or bright as much as the next person but my heart lies with more Autumnal shades.
I have a lot of clothes already but wanted to pick up a few little bits just to adjust my wardrobe a bit.
So I hit up TK MAXX.

First, and most boring - some black skinny jeans. I had a huge clearout at the start of summer and thought it was a good idea to get rid of all my jeans bar one nice pair. This, of course, meant that once Autumn hit I was pretty screwed!
These are by Diamonds and Denim and fit really nicely and will be a cold winter staple!

Next up to the right is a very oversized, long, leopard print scarf. I don't tend to wear a lot of patterns but always see people wearing leopard print and think it just pulls everything together nicely.

Bottom right is a super soft burgundy jumper. It has loose knit and tighter knit stripes which gives it something extra. I love this colour with the scarf.

Last but not least are these leopard print flats from Bamboo - a brand I hadn't heard of before but they had loads of different designs in TK MAXX.

 

I just think these are really pretty, especially with the cute ankle strap that will show when worn with skinny jeans or skirts with tights.

I did realise after getting home that what I had actually done was buy one entire outfit so if you live in the Bristol area, expect to see me in this get up often!

See you soon!
