Guilt free shopping...

As promised I have finally found time to reveal what I brought in the Charity shops, it really is worth looking in these shops, not only do you grab yourselves a unique bargain that no one else has, you are giving money to charity.

Over the past year my obsession for sunglasses has grown, I came across this pair of gold rimmed shades in the first shop I went in, and at only £1 they were sold!



I have been after a pale blue jumper for ages and this one was just perfect as it is not to thick so ideal for this season. It cost a total of £1.50! How could I not get it!?

The next item I found was this super cute cardy! Pale green houndstooth, it's actually a size 16 but I like cardigans a bit bigger anyway and plus, I loved it too much not to get it, look how cute the buttons are aswell, this little treasure cost just £3!

This next pair of trousers were the ultimate bargain, they are high waisted aswell, many of you will come to know how much of a lover of high waisted items I am. Perfect colour for spring and can you believe they only cost £1!

A classic Levi's shirt, what a little beauty. It was actually found in the men's section so if you do go charity shopping it's always worth having a look there too, I tend to like my shirts over sized so this was just perfect, and £4.50 for a genuine Levi's shirt, I couldn't resist!


You may have to rummage when looking through the Charity shops but I really hope you can see why it is worth it! All this for just £11, it really is guilt free shopping.

I will post another blog to show you how I have styled these pieces, so keep your eyes peeled!

Oh So Simple..

Today was my first Saturday off work in a couple of weeks, so I spent it with one of my sisters shopping. We looked around a number of charity shops and I will blog the treasures I found tomorrow, but today I will show you what I wore.





As many of my friends may know I love a high neck jumper, so when I came across this little fluffy number in Primark I had to get it, not only in the white, but in pink too! I wore this with my third pair of Joni Jeans, which I absolutely love, if you haven't already got a pair I recommend you get some NOWSAP as they are the comfiest around. With this outfit I wore these black patent loafers from River Island, and they also come in Pink, White and Green!

Jumper: Primark £10

We all love a bargain...

Its that time of year when everyone is low on money, so the best place to go on a tight budget, that's right... Primark!








What a bargain I found, this really cute Pinafore dress was in the sale down to £5, so how could I resist, I wore this with this cute checked shirt, along with a pair of my favourite sunglasses from Gypsy Rose Designs (found on Instagram). I wore this with a pair of frilly socks and added my converse for an effortless look.

Pastels and Party

As many of you will soon realise it is a weekly habit for me and my beautiful friends to go out on a Saturday night, and I'm sure many of you are the same, so if you are in need of some Saturday night inspiration you have come to the right place.








Pastel colours and checks are currently my favourite at the moment, so this dress was just perfect for the occasion. I teamed this with a statement necklace and some killer heels. 
I had such a good night with the girls and had many people ask where my dress was from, not only was it super comfy and easy to wear, but for £17.99 I really could not go wrong.

Dress: New Look- Cameo Rose Grey Check Tunic Dress £17.99
Shoes: Office- Rule It £62
Necklace-Topshop  Similar here £8.50

The First Post

So, after 23 years I think I have realised I have a slight Shopping addiction and thought I would share it with the rest of you to see.

I am pretty new to this whole blogging malarcky  but I absolutely love the social networking sites and enjoy seeing what the rest of you are buying and wearing and thought I will share mine as well.

Let me know what you think,
