Is it summer yet??

I got all excited at the prospect of warmer weather the other day, and went and fell in love with some summery bargins.

Now all I need is for summer to hurry up so I can wear them without looking a little silly.

Sun hat - £1 and yellow Gap dress - £2.50.

When all else fails.......bake

Today, I decided to make some yummy cakes to cheer me up.

Chocolate and peanut butter fairy cakes with marshmellows and pink sprinkles on top ♥

Friday night boots

It's rather leathal working so close to shops with 75% off sales!! However, it did mean I completely by chance found myself these little beauties today.

I've been after a pair of Chelsea boots for a while, and just by chance they were on sale for £10 today in Matalan of all places!! 

I love them. In fact I love them so much I have changed my Friday night outfit just so I can wear them

Dance in the rain

I have been having a bit of a blog block lately. Work has been a bit manic and I haven't felt very inspired lately I'm sad to say.

But I think this photo I found shows all you need to know to move forward....

Some time all it takes is to learn how to dance in the rain.

Someone like you.....

I heard this tonight on the radio for the first time, and it just stopped me in my train of thought and gave me goose bumps. 

The lyrics just trickled over me as they told me a story very much like one I know all too well.

 'Yesterday was the time of our lives.......'

Camden

My brother and I went for a little day trip to Camden yesterday to see what bargains we could grab ourselves. We had a good day on the bargain front. With my brother finding a long leather coat for only £5 and a new satchel bag that the strange Thai lady insisted he tried on many times. I got myself a vintage kilt for only £5 too, plus other lovely pretty things too like a Swallow belt buckle and an Indian beaded necklace.

Top to toe finds

Over the last few days being off work has given me the chance to have a bit of a rummage in my local charity shops and I got myself a few pretty things.

I found the snake skin style hand bag the other day and it suddenly occurred to me that I did not own a nice brown handbag so it had to be mine, and in the same shop I also fell in love with a little black fur hat from 1950's Belgium.

Today, I went for a little wander around another shop with my Mum, and found this lovely pair of black pixie boots which I just spent some time polishing up, and a cute little head scarf, not that I don't already own millions, but enough is never enough with scarves and me.

All together with the right dress and coat, they will look really nice. Couldn't have planned it better if I had tried.

I would do a post on what I wore over the last few days, but the weather has been a bit rubbish of late, and so my coat and scarves cover all. However I am going to London tomorrow with my brother, so will let you know what wonderful things I find.
