Car boot Haul!


The second of my hauls, this time to a car boot sale, because charity shops aren't  skanky enough ;D
Not a very big haul this time though, so not very long post.

First off is these Fat Face jeans, which in all fairness are pretty immaculate  until i wore them the day after, now they look awful like the picture shows, but they were pristine when i got them but now their all creased...
But anyways these were only £1 which is a great deal! These are a lovely colour and go with so many items i have, hence why they stood out to me in the pile of clothes. They are a size 8 and skinny  and fit me perfectly, which i was surprised, often jeans fit me awkwardly but these were a beautiful fit, certainly deal of the day!
I've worn them with a pink/purple panther print t shirt and the combination worked well, may make it an outfit of the day.

On another table I found these awesome dungaree short, their like mid length, just below my knees, but i rolled them just above my knee because I prefer rolled up jeans. They were a little more expensive at £2 but considering their not worn i think it was worth it.

Their a medium I think and only fit with dungaree straps on, if I drop them they fall off, so a little baggy but will be nice for the summer, as are nice and breezy so will cool, too chilly now though. Their by Route 66 jeans (I think, labels unclear) who I haven't heard of but they seem to do nice things. 
I might style these in the 90's grunge tend that is so hot right now with a baggy printed t shirt and trainers, or even a jumper. 

This piece is actually a mans adidas jumper, which is a surprise for me haha.
It was £1 because it has a small stain on the front of it, on other side of logo, but hopefully it will come off in the wash, and if it doesn't, for the price it was I can cover it with a gold chain as I'm always wearing one. 
Its a large but its sleeves are quite short, but I can wear them rolled up to the elbows like i wear most jumpers, I think it has shrunk from being washed too many times and it's also quite faded so more than likely. But I like the colour of it now, rather than if it was the bright red it would have been when it was bought, I'm not a fan of bright red so this suits me better than the original colour. I'll be teaming it with my washed out jeans and brothel creepers for a cool 90's feel outfit.

Another pair of creased women's trousers, theses are a 12 though and are a bit baggy on my but will be great for summer as well when its too hot to wear warm skinny jeans. Cant really tell in the picture but they are a really nice shade of red, like a bright red/orange.
They are quite thin and flimsy, almost like chinos but with pleats in the waistband and tapered in the legs to be skinny chinos rather than normal straight leg ones, which i love about them , forget who they are by but labels don't always matter.
Dunno what these will go with in my wardrobe if I'm honest but hell for a pound ill make them go with something! Maybe something like a white t shirt or mix it up a little with something brighter like blue or green, but who knows I'll have to see.






So yeh thats my haul blog for the day, not many items but still nice and cheap haul, more money for next time and to save for uni haha

Chester Haul!!

 First of my hauls :D

I went to Chester with the family on last friday...I think and visited various different shops and charity shops looking to add to my ever expanding wardrobe haha

First item is this leopard (cheetah maybe?) print jumper i got from H&M for £7 in sale, bargain ;)
I love how soft and comfy this jumper is, and the print, goes without saying, is awesome! i love animal prints and mens clothes rarely do, hence why i drift over to womans, but this was a good find! perfect size, not too big, not too small and the muted tones of the print and colouring will go with so many thing! Like any colour jean i own really....

 I bought another jumper in spring time....
This one is from T K Maxx, who i usually dislike, because my mum had a £15 voucher and decided to give to me? So i bought this camo jumper for £16 (i paid extra pound) with her kind gesture ^^ its by Worn By, whoever they are....., but its pretty good quality, nice and soft and roomy and y'all know i love me some camo print.
The prints only on the front thought which i was surprised and slightly disappointed by if I'm honest, just thought it would be on both sides for some reason, but hey it was reduced from £70 so Im not complaining ;)
I plan to team this with some autumn tone jeans, like browns and oranges....thats all i got so far, i just like camo haha
 Charity shop find #1
I found this lovely shirt (ladies) from George in....a charity shop, i forget which one, but it has a cute dimmed floral print all over in a grey/purple colour, so it wasnt too bright and i your face which i liked. As you can see I have already rolled the sleeves, which is how i wear all my shirts, and its quite slim fitting, which i dont usually do, so will be a nice change for me.

 Another charity shop, this one was only a pound! Its from Nexts custom collection, so should be good quality, it still had card in collar so I'm going to assume its not been worn, and if it has not much.
Again its like a grey/purple print, only with leaves not flowers and smaller and all over, so not that similar really...Apart from rolled sleeves ;D
This one was from the men's section so doesnt ride up in my armpits like woman's shirts do which is a plus :3
This looks great with my purple jeans and my grey beanie, hipstering it up!



I found another No Fear t shirt! Again in a charity shop, getting a little collection of these guys, all from charity haha. This one has little marvel comic style cartoons of....something, im not sure what is happening in the scene really but theres a lot of the scenes so i dont think it matters really.
To be honest theres so many colours and styles in this t shirt alone i dont think it would matter what I pair it with really.
c


 I got these from the Primark sale section, in mens, their creepy little gangster vampire grillz, kinda cute

This is from the men's Primark sale section too, little creepy gazelle deer thing, look at his evil eyes, wanting to take your soul....

I got these cute little gold collar tips from Primark too, to wear with my shirts (obv) and add some needed glamour, but their thicker than i thought, like an inch thick, which is suprising, but hey their nice.

Twenty8twelve London Fashion Weekend

Some more of my terrible photos of Fashion Weekend, this was the first show so I didnt get the knack of taking photos in the lighting, luckily Issa photos were better, yeh...



London Fashion Weekend!! (Overdue)


The long overdue photos from London Fashion Weekend! The last show i saw, Issa, had some incredible pieces with my favorite being the beautiful floral headpieces  
half of the models wore, with amazing detailing and beading on the petals of the orchids. The patterns and prints in the collection were so bright and exotic as well, inspired by the designers life abroad, all in all very beautiful collection. 
p.s excuse the terrible photos, i know i will never make a professional runway photographer,, too dark for my camera
