1940s

As it was Rememberence Day yesterday, I decided to dress in a 1940s style: seamed stockings, tea dress and a trench coat :) When i walked over to the boys house in the evening, my legs were frozen!

dress - vintage
coat - topshop

I bought the coat about 3 years ago in topshop, it was reduced from £60 to £20, it is a size too big but I love it.

Outfit

Hellllo, this is my outfit for tonight (just off to the pub with the boy :)), obviously i will wear some shoes, just haven't decided which ones yet!
I have been working a lot lately so have not had time for shopping (boooo) but have purchased a few items off ebay which i will share next time ;)

Outfit

I have just started a new job which explains the absence =P. This outfit is from September when myself and the boy went for a meal at out local pub. I seem to remember him having the burger and chips and I the jacket potato with beans and cheese (yum!).

Hastings

Myself and my boyfriend decided to take a drive to Hastings yesterday, I am a history nerd and was so excited to visit the place where Harold was hacked to death by Duke William on 14th October 1066. Unfortunately the castle ruins were off limits to the public but we were able to walk to grass which surrounds the ancient ruins, was very beautiful.

  

We also took a walk along the stony beach, i definitely want to go there for a holiday next year!

Jewellery by Jaymie

I purchased this chanel necklace from http://jewellerybyjaymie.bigcartel.com/ about a month ago for £13 (£1.50 p+p) and it is a wonderful item, very unique and makes an outfit look chic, instantly.



I definitely plan on purchasing more jewellery from this site!

Russell & Bromley

I have two pairs of second hand loafers by Russell & Bromley, both were purchased on ebay, this pair were about £18 and are a size 4.5 (i'm usually a 5) and they fit perfectly.



I haven't taken a picture of the other pair but they are a size 4 and they fit pretty well and were £30. I cannot wait to purchase a brand new pair, they are the most comfortable shoes and will not consider buying cheap shoes for a quick fix again

Primark/outfit post

Primark has recently come to Chelmsford, Essex... I have only purchased a pair of £2 black tights (worn once and stretched and out of shape already) and some £2 owl mittens (delightful) so far. Their clothes look pleasant but the biggest fear is washing them for the first time and opening the machine to find clothes that could fit my old barbie doll.

I had a bad experience with that infamous black peter pan collar dress from Topshop last year (they always pop up on ebay), i took the dress out of the washing machine and took out a blouse, when i tried to reshape the garment, a small hole appeared, needless to say, i was furious.

I now ensure that i take care of ALL of my clothes and no longer spend £50 on a Topshop dress.... I browse for hours on ebay instead!
