H&M AND CHARITY SHOP LOVIN'

Fur Gillet - Charity Shop / Skirt - H&M / Shirt - Topshop / Boots - H&M / Necklaces - Made

I apologise for my mullet style hair do in these photos, it was completely unintentional and I've only just noticed my business at the front, party at the back doo! Being as it is getting a tad chilly and gillets are a must have this season, as soon as i spotted this on the rail in my local charity shop i pounced on it, i didn't even look at the price... not that i had to in a charity shop but hey! And this little treasure was just £2.95!!! *Gasp* It kinda does go with everything too, when i am venturing out to uni or work, it works well over my leather jacket, as does my black gillet. This is the perfect skirt too, being mesh its not too warm and doesn't make you shiver your knickers off when your outside either! My boyfriend had some old crystals knocking around so i cut some velvet necklace rope and threaded it on, now i have my favourite ever piece of jewellery!!

Also, who started off this horrible flu that's being passed around!? I have fell latest victim and its no fun struggling to even breathe through a nostril! But ... there's always time for a blog post!!!

I'm currently in the process of planning an outfit for Vogues Fashion Night Out in Manchester this Thursday, and I am completely gutted that the perfect pink pvc skirt from Topshop has sold out... isn't everyone? My bank account might have to take a little hit tonight on ebay.

CROCHET QUICKIE

Top - Charity Shop / Maxi - George at Asda / Boots - Topshop

 So this was a quickie blog shoot today featuring my new crochet jumper from a charity shop. I went with my mom to look for old furniture to rework and bam, first thing i see whilst having a quick nose in the clothes rails was this, i just had to have it! I've been after a cheap crochet jumper for a while, because i just can't afford the UNIF multi-coloured one! Boo hoo :( This was only 2.95 so why would i say no!? The bell bottom sleeves are the bohemian dream! Anything bell bottom is! (I've just got to get myself some spell design bell bottom pants...)

The khaki colour is perfect for the fall, to pair with anything monochrome at the moment, i changed after this shoot in to some smart white trousers i had from Topshop (high waisted) and it went brilliantly. I decided to style it with a black maxi dress that i had off my sister .. from Asda!!!! It has a mesh panel at the top, although you can't really see it, so its good to just put underneath things like this if you really like a jumper or a t-shirt but don't want to wear jeans. 

As for accessories, today my boyfriend shows me this little box of treasures which i had no idea he was hiding away! He had inherited so much jewellery. Including pendants, bracelets, sterling silver, stones, it was like heaven to me. SO i would have put some of them on, however i found out after this. I'm going to do a blog post on the finds that are in the box shortly and show you all how amazing they are!!
