Fifi Lapin for Juicy Couture

If you are a fan of the delightfully stylish bunny Fifi Lapin then you definitely must take a look at the collaboration with Juicy Couture. For me personally, I often picture velour tracksuits when I think of Juicy Couture but put that aside and take a look at these beautiful silk scarves.

I think the red one is my favourite, just in time for Valentines Day. It would make the perfect gift which is clearly me hinting to my fiance ha! Is it sad that I like to think the bunnies are me and Mike? The scarves are oozing with cuteness and if you don't fancy a scarf then other items from the capsule collection include sketchbooks, cards and even a watercolour set to use in your pretty sketchbook.
I'm not sure if this is being released in the UK. I did try to find out at my local store but was met with a confused expression. Can anyone else shed some light on this?

Outfit of the day

Dress-Ebay

Finally got round to doing another 'outfit of the day'. Sorry for the bad quality images. Me and Mike went to Brighton today and I originally planned to get some photos outside but it was too cold and I'd probably take off with the wind. So we took these once we got home, bad lighting and bad hair. Not to mention my shoes are not in sight as I was standing on our bed. Ahh well, moving on. The dress was a recent purchase from Ebay. I absolutely love the shape, I am obsessed with babydoll style dresses so this is perfect and only cost me £5.70 including postage. I paired it with some black Underground creepers and a chunky knit cardigan.
We also did some major charity shopping, must have visited around 18 charity shops...which means tons of walking. We didn't buy anything worth mentioning. Found a lovely Cath Kidston table cloth but it had a stain on it and I wasn't really up for spending £7.99 on it, especially if the stain didn't come out. We popped over to a boot sale as well, bought some Hello Kitty items for 50p each but I won't bore you with that as I'll be writing for hours about my obsession.

Happy New Year!

I thought it would be quite nice to do a round-up of a few of my favourite second hand purchases (charity shops and boot sales combined) from 2011. Obviously I have so many buys that I wanted to include in this but tried to dwindle it down as much as I could otherwise it would be like a jigsaw puzzle trying to piece the photos together.

Baby pink Dr Martens, Bell jar, Lace peter pan collar blouse, Chanel atomiser, Glass locket, Crystal ball ring, Mini ballet shoes from Royal Opera House, Peter rabbit jumper, Fuji instax 7 mini camera, Vivienne Westwood purse, Tapestry jewellery box, Corduroy red dress, Bleach effect high waist shorts with lace, Blythe bag.

Let's hope 2012 brings lots of treasures.

The thrift fairy

Wow, doesn't time fly? My last entry was at the beginning of the month and now it is almost Christmas. Shopping centres are full of busy people on the hunt for presents. To be honest, I would prefer to buy presents during the sales if I could. Makes more sense money-wise, right?

The thrift fairy has been good to me recently and yesterday I bought this Canon lens for £3.00. Who can turn down such a great offer? I spent a lot of yesterday taking snaps of my beautiful new dress which I bought a few weeks ago from another charity shop for £4.00. It was actually from the kids section and is aged 9-10, but because of the babydoll shape it fits bigger sizes. It's a wonderful corduroy material and reminds me of Christmas lol. The lace collar is actually detachable and was given to me by my wonderful friend Julia. It's the perfect match, don't you think?

Mystic ball

Sorry for the delay in posting. I have been feeling very down in the dumps recently and have been slobbing around in my PJ's eating pringles.
Here is a beautiful ring which I picked up for £1.00 in the Eleanor Lions hospice charity shop recently. The colours are amazing and change colours from certain angles, from clear to blue, to pinks and reds. It reminds me of a mystical ball or something. Such a precious little piece and I was so happy to have found it for a great price because I know a lot of charity shops price jewellery up quite a bit. It's a tiny bit too big for me but I still wear it. I am used to wearing big rings, even my engagement ring is still too big after having it sized smaller to a custom size.

Birthday and tea

Yesterday me and Mike went to the park and then for afternoon tea as today I turned 22. We were the only ones in the whole restaurant which was quite eerie but nice and relaxing in comparison to other restaurants where you are pretty much sitting on peoples laps listening to their conversations. We also did some charity shopping and plenty of walking so it was nice to unwind with a cup of tea at the end of the day.

Decorating

Me and Mike have been decorating our bedroom. The lighting was so beautiful on Sunday, I decided to take a few photos.
