Cheap Cheap.

Soooooooo it's my birthday v.v.soon and an Aunty sent up a cheque for £45 which made me happy happy!

As I am poooooor and I am a girl I find it impossible not to want to spend it on clothes or something that fits into that category so thats what I did.
As the money she sent up is the only money I can actually claim to be my own I had to spend wisely and well, it's me. I feel I am an expert shopper and I can sniff out bargains from a mile away.
As many people will know either charity or vintage shops are the cheapest around and good bargains can be found so that is where I went, in addition to ofc, Primark and Select.
Bow down to the skillllllz.


BEST BARGAINS
 These are the best bargains I came across.
(L-R) Red Laura Ashley Duffle Coat/Jacket, Vintage Now- £10.00
 Betty Barclay Silk Bomber Jacket, Vintage Now- £9.00
French Connection Bow Tie Top, Age Concern- £5.00

THE REST...
 (L-R) Silver Brogues that make me want to dance, Primark- £8.00
Navy Linen Shorts, Primark- £7.00
Tan Moccasins (near-exact same pair in Topshop for £40), Select- £5.00

TOTAL=£44.00

Now that is what I call a good days shopping, Cheap Cheap.

Mend and Make Do.

I used to always make my own garments
just because really,
and then I stopped. I don't have a valid reason in why I stopped maybe just growing up or lack of time.

Anywhooooooo, this is about to change! 
I have been collecting clothing patterns for a few months now and have just bought some beautiful material 
so let the making commence!

Update!

This photo originally made me incredibly sad and actually ashamed.
I have far too many clothes and its actually disgusting! lol

As I mentioned before I'm going to have a clearout well I did,
and I did AWESOMEEEEE!
Charity is sooooo gonna love me!!!

Soooooo, before!

Awesome After!

I Know it still looks alot but three full black bin liners have been shipped off!
PLUS!
Ikea sold me this in-wardrobe-scarf-holder-thing which makes my wardrobe look full still.

BUTTTTTTT it is not!
I'm so proud :D


I may move on to shoes and bags.



Maybe not.

P.S i threw out sooooo much rubbish, i hope someone claims him soon, he'll get lonely otherwise.

Spring Cleaning.... Out!

No more clutter in my life for me! No sirreeeeeee!
Spring is 'officially' here!
Apart from the lack of fresh new leaves and buds gracing our countryside the weather. overall, has cheered up!

Huzzah!

So, I've decided to clear out my life, as spring time is stereotypically the time to do this-not sure why, but yes I'm going to start tonight!

I am going to get rid of anything disgusting and worthless I may own/have owned!

I've already thrown out some rubbish which even I, who wants to give back, couldn't even give to charity as its an offence to the eyes!



Alas, I'm going to start with clothes tomorrow, OH MY BEAUTIFUL CLOTHESSS, then move on to shoes and bags finishing with odd bits lying around.
I'm not exactly into this whole 'green planet' thing as well if being a little extravagent in a long drive is gonna make this world warmer then helllll,  
I'm up for that!
Butttt, this time I am going to give back and gonna give it all to charity.
Hopefully they will be grateful! lolz.

Epic Fail!


2nd January right?

Bloody second day!

And I’ve had chocolate both days and I have not carried out my 8 minute abs either day!

Instead of a swear box, I’m gonna have a
‘You’ve broke another New Years Resolution’ Box.

I am going to put a pound in every time.
Hmmm, I could be rich by next year!

The Bulb that Blew

Hold the Phone!


I have never had a keen interest in fashion and I doubt I ever will have that interest.



BUTTTT, oh my, Alexandros Stasinopoulos's watches are actually b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l!

I understand they won't be to everyones taste but they are to mine!
I feel I'm being drawn over to the dark side and away from my happy life of George at asda!
But alas, I factually need this watch! Ahhh Cruel Fate.

Stasinopoulos saysssss:
"The purpose of mechanical watches is not just to display the time. They are, and ought to be, the showcase of human achievements in the fields of engineering, aesthetics and of course craftsmanship."


ALRIGHTY THEN!
I want one now, chazzz. x
