Boot sale haul (Vivienne Westwood) and Cath Kidston freebie!

I love it when I have a good boot sale day! Despite the recent weather over the past week or so, I still managed to pick up quite a good haul even though the boot sale was half the size it usually is. 

I spotted this Cath Kidston bag on the floor and as I went to have a closer look the lady said I could have it for free because someone broke the plastic handle. I was like YAYYYYYYYY :D :D and when I got home I attached another bag strap to it, so now it is useable.

This adorable vintage hat was originally from St Michael. I got it for 50p and I can't wait till it's not windy and I can wear it out with cute summer dresses.

From the same stall as the hat I also got this Cure t-shirt (originally from Urban Outfitters I think) for £2 and denim Topshop shorts for £1.

This cute dolly style dress was only 50p. Yippee!

I also picked up this Vivienne Westwood Boudoir bag for £2. And you all know I am a sucker for anything Vivienne Westwood...especially when it's this cheap.

And lastly, I got this purse for 50p. I think I may use it for putting make-up and daily essentials in.

Vivienne Westwood leotard

A few weeks ago I went to a boot sale and it wasn't great. I felt a bit deflated, and was browsing a rail which had very plain clothing like vest tops etc, but as I was about to walk away I spotted a VIVIENNE WESTWOOD for sock shop leotard!!! It was £5 and I snapped it up right away! I actually used to own this in black a while back but sold it on as I didn't wear it. Hopefully I will wear this one, just need to lose a bit of weight first. I've gained a stone since getting married last year ha!

Climate Revolution event

Hi all,
Thank you for all the well wishes about Cheesy the hamster. He's in a better place now in hamster heaven.

About a week ago I went to an event at the Vivienne Westwood store on Conduit Street. It was to highlight the Climate Revolution and bring more awareness to it. Daniel Lismore was there to face paint everyone and the idea of it was to unite people and to then send them off wearing the 'face of war' and to raise awareness. One of Vivienne Westwood's motto's is 'Buy less, choose well'. Which I think is a great motto to follow. Buying items of clothing which match a range of outfits is a great thing to do, long term it will save money and rather than wearing it once and forgetting about it, it will become a staple. Even plain clothing can look completely different with certain outfits. Here are a couple of photos from the event. I also met Ben Westwood, who is Vivienne Westwood's son. He brought along his dog Jackie who is absolutely adorable! You all know how much of an animal lover I am :)

Vivienne Westwood key pendant

So so happy!! I got the Vivienne Westwood key pendant from Mike for Valentine's Day. It has been on my wishlist for a few months now and sold out everywhere, this one is slightly different as it has a different chain (which is why I think the other one sold out as they didn't restock it as they re-designed it). Unfortunately that also meant the cost was a bit higher but alas! I love it so much.

I'm back! Battersea boot fair and charity shops

Hi all!

I'm back! It has been a busy few months, I had no time to think about blogging and my brain seemed frazzled. Hopefully I can get back into the swing of things.

Last week me and Julia went back to visit Battersea boot sale. It wasn't as big as it usually is but that was expected due to the recent weather. We still came away with some lovely things, and obviously as usual I come away with regret because I didn't buy a pretty coat I saw. It always happens.

Here are a few things that I did come away with.

I originally wasn't too keen on the colour of this dress, I never wear blue but I just couldn't resist buying it as it has a squirrel print on it and is a lovely shape. It was a lot more than what I would usually pay (£5), but I knew that Battersea boot sale prices were higher than normal ones. The labels inside is cut out so I am not sure where it is originally from..although the fact she cut the labels out makes me think it's primark lol.

At the bottom of this box of random bits and bobs I found this doll thing with a pear outfit on. It's very random and creepy but I love it, plus it was only 50p.

I did purchase some other items but they aren't very interesting, plus most the other bits were for Mike (I'm such a lovely wife hehe). After the boot sale, me and Julia drove past some charity shops so we decided to pop in. There were 3 charity shops a few doors apart from each other and I managed to buy something from each one. These Vivienne Westwood badges were at the bottom of a box of cosmetics, they were 25p each! I'll never wear them but it's always exciting to find stuff like this :)

The first two figurines weren't bought from a charity shop but were bought recently from a friend on Instagram who has her own shop in Cornwall (hoping to make a visit to her shop in the summer). Check out her shop on Facebook Fine & Dandy. I had specifically been after ornaments of these characters for a while so it was meant to be when I saw she had two for sale. Strangely enough, the larger ornament was from one of the charity shops. It was such a strange coincidence considering I had only just received the smaller ones in the post recently. Now they live happily on the fireplace in our living room :)


The last item I bought from one of the charity shops was a Slipknot t-shirt, ha! I used to be quite the fan of them when I was a teenager. It was only 50p so I thought, why not? ;-)

Vivienne Westwood buys

So the Monday just gone was my 23rd Birthday. Me and Mike went to Selfridges the Saturday before to make the most of the 20% off offer which they were doing. We went straight over to the Vivienne Westwood section where I picked up a beautiful clasp bag perfect for dinner dates and special occasions. I had wanted this bag for quite a while so it was the perfect opportunity to buy it, plus we had a gift card as well so it turned out to be quite the bargain.
After Selfridges we headed over to the Vivienne Westwood store on Conduit Street and I picked up this black t-shirt. It's very simple but is one of those pieces where I can pair up with anything. The placing of the orb in the centre is perfect as well. It's a great piece and fits perfectly.
Did anyone else make the most of the 10% and 20% off in Selfridges?
