Lets Twist Again...

Every girl loves a good dress up, even those girls who deem themselves to be Tom-Boys. Secretly deep down, we all like pampering and tottering around in heels we wish we could genuinely walk in. No girl can deny that. I love to wear heels, but Im never honestly comfortable in them and never wear them anywhere apart from out dancing with my friends. I can never understand those girls who wear 4 inch heels out shopping, what kind of heels must they wear out dancing!?
When I do wear heels on a slightly more casual occasion, I like to dress it down a fraction with the outfit. Despite my once boisterous character, I like to be unique with a quiet twist as to not stand too far out from the crowd for the wrong reasons.
In this photo, I am wearing a white cotton top, originally from Topshop, found and bought from a carboot (once again in Canterbury), for just 20 pence. I love the length of the back being longer than the front, It adds a quirkiness to the outfit creating my unique twist.
I am also wearing my lovely bright blue Monkee Genes, bought for £12.99 from TK Maxx, such a great bargain place for new items at a discounted price. I have seen these jeans in Fenwicks for £70.
The necklace was a gift from my best friend and adds a lovely touch to a simple outfit. Just a little more colour and sparkle.
Now, all I need to find is a bargain bag to match my shoes.

Dum Dum De Dum

 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...

Permesso, Quanto Costa?

A fresh start, a new year. After the build up to Christmas and allowing the festive season to slowly fade behind me, progress and ideas for my blog bloomed in my mind and in sketch books. My new years resolution is not something to give up neither to accomplish a self achievement of confidence, I am perfectly happy with the way I am. However a little exercise to simply be healthy is on the list along with my main resolution of saving a certain amount this year to help towards my own place. Well, a place for my boyfriend and I to move in together, nothing would make me happier and I already have an over flowing 'bottom draw' from copper bottom Prestige pans to decorative items, mainly a lot of vintage. It is an exciting thought, to have a space and simply make it your own. Last weekend, Ross and I decided to go to the local carboot fair to see how many people would be selling so soon after Christmas. We arrived to a nearly empty car park but there was still potential for bargai...

Laundry Service

A while ago, I went to the local carboot in Canterbury with my partner, Ross. It has become a usual Sunday morning activity for us, because further into our relationship, we are getting ever so cooler. We enjoy a good game of scrabble and love cooking...together. On my stroll around the stalls I picked up some lovely gold earrings with little coral studs for only 20p, a pair of skinny fit, black jeans from H&M for £2 and other little bits and bobs. However, that weeks biggest bargain was a Lloyd Loom washing basket, in its original colour and worn state. My partner has been on at me to get my own washing basket due to the unfortunate events' of my dad shrinking a wool jumper bought by my partner as a christmas gift and then my mum burning a hole through my favourite vintage cardigan. The woman selling the basket knew of its value and even lifted the basket to show us the original sticker on the bottom. Everyone was packing away around us and her help was throwing things into...
