Everything £5 | Jan/Feb 2015

Hey everyone! Sorry It's taken me so long to get a new Blog Post out for you, I had no idea what I could write about but I promise that this one will excite all bargain hunters!

Unless you've been living under a rock, You may of heard of Everything £5 before, IT IS THE GREATEST THING.

Along with some of it's...not so great items are some very awesome little finds and the best part. Everything is £5. EVERYTHING.

Need an outfit for a night out? Boo boo, WE GOT YOU.

A vast majority of the sites stock is made up of what I believe to be Boohoo, Misguided, ASOS, Topshop & Primark. You don't know what you'll find if you have a little browse!

If you're interested in anything make sure you get in and nab it before the sizes go, they update their stock nearly every day so it all quickly sells out!

Here's some of my current faves!

Maroon Check Cotton Shirt

HERE

Charcoal Contrast Jeans

HERE

Fringe Side Suedette Boots

HERE

Poppy Print Swing Dress

HERE

Suedette Ankle Strap Platforms

HERE

I Love the Poppy Dress! Such a cute item similar to that of Topshop! Delivery starts from £3.95 so who can resist?!

A/W Wishlist. | November 15 |

I could honestly say that 2015 has been my favourite year yet for trends. The summer 1970's trend absolutely killed it. So much suede and floaty chiffon, All of the things I have loved since falling for vintage Fashion at the age of 14. 

Spring transitioned to summer, bringing Flares and Micro mini skirts.. then Autumn crept in and brought Ankle boots, Knee boots & 1960's gogo fashion. Team a mini dress with ankle boots and a winter coat? TRANSITIONAL PERFECTION. YES YES YES. 

Here's a few favourites that I WISH I could afford right now...but since my last blogpost, you can imagine I can barely afford a Freddo.

A GIRL CAN DREAM :

PETITE Poppy Print Dress

£48.00

Topshop

I love a little bit of floral for the winter. This dress is slightly peasant style with the long sleeves and frills but the colours are autumnal and very pretty. Tights + Wooly Scarf + Boots = Perfection.

PETITE Textured Bell Sleeve Dress

£42.00

Topshop

This is just a simple Little Blue dress. I love love love it. Need I say more?

Juni Coat

£65

Monki

I've been looking for another long-line winter jacket. Something keeps pulling me into the idea of a trench coat. This cream/off white number is so gloriously chic.

Sleeveless Utility Denim Dress

£20.00

Miss Selfridge

Can we just? I am so in love with all the Denim dresses I've been seeing this year!

Marc B Bella Across Body Bag

£35.00

ASOS

The perfect little bag for every outing! Granted if I had a really good rummage I could probably find a retro lookalike in a charity shop, but for now we have this as GOALS.

Lace Up High Heel Shoes

£29.99

ZARA

Out of all of the suede shoes I've seen this year these have by far won my heart. I would beg, borrow and steal to have them on my feet immediately. I may have to to seek some babysitting work....

So that's just a few things, I could sit here for hours showing you what I love! Hope all is well for you all.

OOTD: Beside the Seaside

Hello loves,

A quick OOTD today, Last week I went to the seaside with my Family for my sisters birthday lunch.

It was warm & sunny but very windy hence the coat!

My Dress is from a Charity Shop for £1 but is originally from Topshop! Bargain of the day.

I have my Yellow Boyfriend coat on from Primark, It as around £22 I think.

I wore my JuJu Jellies with this outfit because they're just too cute! They were £25, *has heart attack* how did I pay that for jellies???

The Topshop dress was from the Petites range & was quite short on me so I put a belt with it. I also wore some tights because bbrrrr windy. 

I had my Primark £1 sunnies on and Finished it with my Fluffy Bag from Kylijane! 

That's all for now, sorry for the boring post I don't feel much like blogging at the moment.

1970's Influences Primark Haul | May '15 |

Hey loves!

A few bits from Primark for you all today! I've been eyeing up some SS15 Pieces that all have a really 1970's Vibe! 

I don't often shop big at Primark anymore, I have the joy of being employed by them & It feels like handing your wages back! Which anyone in Fashion Retail can relate to, am I rigggghttttt?

Yesterday I felt like treating myself however because I had experienced the rarity of not only a non-busy Stratford Primark BUT I also found my size (6) in EVERYTHING. MA GAWD.

Shirred Crop Top

£3.90

Primark

This cute little thing is originally £5, for some reason It was extra cheap in Stratford so I couldn't say no!

There was one left in my size also, So I grabbed it haha.

This is such a cute piece for the summer & will literally go with EVERYTHING.

Sports Stripe Hotpants

£3

Primark

I love these! They're wicked 1970's and have an American vibe! You can just see Farrah Fawcett or Goldie Hawn wearing these!

Button Down Mini Skirt

£10

Primark

IM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS. Ever since It came in with the new season I'd Wayne Campbell it with the 'It will be mine,oh yes,It will be mine.'

And now it is! Also, weirdly this went through at £3? Did somebody mess up? haha (I won't tell if you don't!)

Foundation Stick

£2.00

Primark

I also got another one of these foundation sticks. Similar to the Kryolan TV Makeup sticks, They're banging for doing a bit of cream contour Drag queen style!

I already have the medium one for contour & now I have this one for highlighting! Also an excellent match for my pale skin too,It's so hard for me to find things that are actually pale!

That's all for today, What's your favourite Primark purchase most recently?

❤ OOTD : Waterloo Sunset ❤

Hello!

Here's an outfit I wore out shopping with my Paps on Friday, It was so warm and I braved bare legs! 

I recently purchased my first Polo Neck top from Hidden Fashion for £5, I wouldn't normally spend so much on a plain top before but often their website sells out quickly & I wanted it! 

I wore my Polo Neck with this Swoon dress that I made last year! It's just a basic shift dress but it's so cute & probably one of y favourite things I've sewn!

The Top goes really nicely underneath & I felt super 60's.

I took my Kylijane Fluffy bag with me which doesn't often leave my side, This outfit needed some fluff! I love it loads it's so cute!

Also check out my epic hair flick!

I put on my ASOS Dolly Shoes with this because CUTE & My H&M Beige Blazer because although it was sunny there was a chilly wind! My bum was reeeeet cold! lol :-)

Hope you love this outfit as much as me!

OOTD | Pastel Basics |

Hey guys! Today's OOTD is really simple! I went Fabric Shopping in London and just wanted to be on trend but comfortable! I was ill yesterday so I've been feeling super gross!

I'm wearing my New H&M Jersey Dress, Found in a Charity Shop for £1 Brand New with Tags! It's a really nice peach colour, although it doesn't show well!

I wore my Topshop crop top under it (£9) which I got last year, I wish I had waited though because Primark brought in the same top for much cheaper recently!

Then on the bottom I've just got Tights (Primark) and My White Dolly shoes from ASOS! (£10 Depop)

Because of where I was going I used my Topshhop Backpack today, Found in Oxfam on Holloway for £6! LOVE.

I didn't catch a picture but with this I just wore a Cardigan and my Black leather Jacket with a Wooly scarf, It's a bit nippy out!

That's all for today, Hows your monday?

OOTD | The Vintage Flares |

Hey Lovelies! 

I'm back this Monday with a very on Trend OOTD for you! Unless you've been hiding under a rock you may have noticed that SS15 is HIGHLY influenced by the 1970's! 

I'm really loving this trend as it means I get to raid my mums wardrobe for all of her vintage accessories! 

I thought i'd focus on some Denim Flares today, they're everywhere from the catwalk to celebrities & I managed to bag myself this pair for only £1.50!

Yet another cracking charity shop find you'll agree, They were a Size 16 but using my whizzy seamstress skills they were a Size 6 in ten minutes!

Don't be dismayed to leave something behind because it's not your size, alterations can easily be made!

Paired with my flares, I put on my Striped top from H&M. I love this top it's a staple, I love anything with stripes on! 

I've also Popped on some black platforms from Primark too, for a bit of height as I'm a mini person! 

I'm wearing my Mum's Vintage Faux Snakeskin belt from Biba. (Swoooooooon)

I love this belt i've been nicking it since I was 13 haha!

My wide-brimmed Trilby hat is from Topshop! I'm lucky that my Sister let me have this one.. It's wonderful and I would never of been able to afford it! Anyone else love Topshop but won't buy anything unless it's in the sale? haha!

Hat closeup! Also new Fringe-ness! I love it, I've had two people tell me I look like Suki Waterhouse! SUCH COMPLIMENT. 

That's all for today! What bargains have you picked up from Charity Shopping that's on trend this season?
