Cameo Find


Another bargain buy, I saw this cameo ring amongst other tit for tat and jewelry bits and wasn't too sure about it at first. Someone was selling their junk at this strange festival. Carnival music was being played from a local stall where children could ride a sinister and surreal merry-go-round, which instead of horses', creatures looking forms had replaced. I can't even describe them. People were parading tractors in a show event, listening to the man on the speaker explaining the make and model like it was an expensive and desired car, i truly was confused. Anyway, I was studying this ring and the man said '50p' which I then thought, I wont argue, I can learn to like it. I put it on my ring finger but on the right hand instead of the left and soon enough fell in love with it. Not until I got home did i notice a hall mark and later thought I should take it to a jewelers for further information. I found out that It's 14 carrot, the face is made from a sea shell and at a quick estimate, he valued the ring to at least £150! 
What a charming story to tell my children of who I shall pass the ring down too.

 Every girls nightmare is finding an outfit, making sure its enough or not too much, that its suitable and yet stands out. Having not been to a wedding since I was about 8, I really wasn't sure what sort of outfit was right for a wedding from ceremony to reception. My partner and I were invited to a wedding-someone Ross works with. I was struggling to find anything and had my heart set on a jumpsuit. Soon I was told that it wasn't going to be a fancy wedding, that nobody was really going to dress up and that it was more casual. This just made it worse, what on earth is nice and yet casual enough for a wedding!? You can just imagine the chaotic scene can't you? Picture this...me pulling item after item, with one hand then the other, taking only seconds viewing each before casting them off over my shoulder eliminating them from my options, leaving me surrounded by a pile of useless-and may as well be, rags! Of course I scowered the charity shops in hopes of a bargain find, I...

Chloe's Find

It was beyond my imagination that I would ever own a Chloe Paddington handbag, they are just so expensive and not even a birthday present or Farther Christmas would circum to my wishes. However, I kept looking on ebay for any bargain finds, but of course I was not alone in this Chloe handbag hunt.  I was in Hythe, a very small and not so popular high street which seems to be ever so slowly fading away. I was there for an interview of which went very well and as I was feeling confident, I decided to walk slowly back to my car, past all the shops so I could window shop. There, hanging up on a hook on the door frame of a junk shop, from the other side of the street, I saw the quality of leather and the large padlock and raced straight over to it. I lifted it off the hook, felt the weight immediately and saw the Chloe printed on the bag. Before even thinking, I had forced my way to the back of the shop and asked how much the shop owner wanted for it. To my astounding shock, and co...

Animal Ora

After a collection of bargain buys have been found and the wardrobe is over flowing with wonderful items, outfits can be thrown together and fashion can be made up! Although I wouldn't say that I am particular wacky or out standing with my fashion, I like to be simple yet effective. However, I do like to play with patterns and find new shapes for my body. Here I am wearing some clothes given to me by friends. Also another great way to get yourself some bargains, instead of going shopping and spending lots of money, why not call your girlies and arrange for a night in with a bottle, or two, some pizza and have a night of swapping clothes you no longer wear. This skirt is great, it's a lovely burgundy colour which will look great with just a t-shirt and plimpsoles for a more casual look, however I have gone for the evening look and matched the skirt with a lovely leopard print leotard. I just need to find a little black or gold bolero to wear with this outfit to complete the loo...
