most recent charity shop buys!


So ive been shopping lately! well AGAIN! the loore of as charity shop is just to much i can never resist having to go in! and even though there really cheap you cant help buying more and more things which usually ends up meaning spending all my weeks pay in a matter of day! but at least your getting the quality in vintage items you pay two or three pounds for! where as if you went into topshop or h&m for the extra £20 or thirty pounds the quality just isn't there. And the thing that gets me is about 2000 other people will have exactly the same thing! so if you want to be unique and wear something that no one else will have? try the charity shops. You dont have to dress head to toe in vintage you dont even have to wear vintage at all you can find great brands like topshop, Karen milen and sometimes even designer brands! at a fraction of the original price and you can still look fashionable but at a cheaper price and still be unique. They'll be as good as new after a quick wash in the washing machine! But still... enough of my stupid excuses and trying to justify my ridiculous spending habits but a girl can never have to many clothes right? well that's what i think and since ive been working hard lately i thought id treat myself so heres my most recent charity shop finds which i have collected up over the last few week. Enjoy...

Outfit of the day reds blues and white.

Today's theme of outfit was put together using Reds, blues and white. I was going shopping for some new rollers As i usually do pin curls. but i wasn't sure what sort of rollers i was after!. So after looking at various different kinds of rollers and techniques used by beauty bloggers to achieve the perfect vintage curls! i decided to try out sponge/foam rollers and results will be posted soon.
