pretty funky for a white girl

Shirt: Vintage Jaeger from carboot £3, Badge: Tatty Divine (via my boyfriend), Shorts: Blue Rinse Vintage, Shoes: Miss Selfridges

Love this shirt, my boyfriend said it was 'funky', I think we both know what he meant was 'I love you, but you make it so so hard sometimes'.

Dissertation handed in on Friday which was such a relief - hence the silence. Three exams till I'm finished and actually finally get some letters after my name!

Jacket: Korea, Shirt: Car Boot, Shorts: Blue Rinse Vintage, Boots: New Look, Necklace:....permanently borrowed off an old friend of mine who I know probably still wants it back

Another guitar I can't play!

I love the colour of this silk shirt and I picked it up for £3 but then it turned out to be massive so I cut the sleeves off in the hope it wouldn't look so huge. It didn't really work as now it's just massive round the shoulders but so long as I keep a cardi on at all times it's fine.

P.S Putney (the cat) came home! She wandered in after two nights away as if nothing had happened.

Spot the human

Shirt: Car Boot sale £3, Belt: floor at work, Shorts: Blue Rinse Vintage, Sunnies: China

Back down in London for the weekend, managed both the Royal Wedding from Hyde Park - which was spectacular and also back for Chiswick Car Boot Sale which is massive and a personal fave. Brilliant weekend, tainted only slightly by the shocking realisation my dissertation is in in less than two weeks and our baby cat's gone missing.

Mood Elephant

I found this trawling through some old stuff of mine, it seems to be stuck on navy so I thought it was broken but a quick look on the internet tells me..Green: Happy, Orange: Upset, Navy: Totally stressed out with loads of work on. Creepy.

Coat: H&M, Dress: Topshop via eBay, Belt:...might be a necklace, I found it on the floor at work

Like I can play guitar..it's my housemates.

Spotted and topp-ed.

Top: £1 Vintage place, Belt: Vintage off my Mum, Skirt: Oxfam

Oh, I'm sorry you caught me drinking tea! And almost caught me doing this...

Love a belly top. In the right context.

I got the skirt from an Oxfam in Liverpool on Saturday and it was £4 which to me seemed a bit pricey. I accept that charity shops are exactly that, charity, but I would have bought more stuff if everything hadn't been £4. There's a big difference between a casual £8 and a not so casual over the £10 mark £12, at least to an impoverished student. And know the clothes I bought hadn't been cleaned before sale...the lady I shuffled away from a million times because I was convinced it was her that smelt so bad probably isn't so aware of that.

Notage: Bizarrely I just popped over to Fashion Pearls of Wisdom and found this Grazia spread:

what can I say, I hadn't seen any of this, but I'm quite clearly fashion psychic. All I need to do now is look half as good in my vintage version.

DIY multi-purpose bow

I feel this is a bit of a cheat really as it's a bit too simple to class as a proper DIY, but I whipped this together on a whim last Friday and it's been pretty successful. Simply get a bow tie (Blue Rinse Vintage on Oldham Street has a whole suitcase of £3 each ones for Manc. peeps)

Then hack at the thing with a pair of scissors to get the bow off the tie, realizing in the process this makes the bow fall apart. So do a quick bit of frankenstitching..

And that's pretty much it. After that you simply slide in your attachments for any purpose you want.

Easy pie!

All the pretty horses

Dress: Take Two (? - some sort of dicount cos it's broken shop in Liverpool), Slip: M&S, Necklace: China+Topshop

I was pretty bummed when only two weeks after buying this topshop necklace the chain was so orange it looks stupid. I only wore it for a few days. Definitely reminded me why I don't buy jewellery from most places. Luckily the struggle necklace came through for me as it always does.
