My Style: Not For Ponies*

Posted on May 15, 2013 by TollyDollyPosh

A while back I found an online store called Not For Ponies, and I thought it was super duper cute! It mixes basic pieces with cute twists in really good quality fabrics. Beckie at Not For Ponies was kind enough to send me 2 of the Pug Tops which are my favourite from the shop! They’re so basic yet so cute and versatile, plus there is a French Pug one!

not for ponies t-shirt reviews not for ponies t-shirt reviewsWhat I Wore:French Pug T-Shirt £20.00* (Not For Ponies), Floral Hareem Trousers €3.00 (Jumble Sale), Pink Belt (Oxfam), Mint Green Trainers £7.99 (H&M), Bracelet (Primark), DIY Sunglasses £2.03 (DIY Coming Very Soon!)

not for ponies t-shirt reviews not for ponies t-shirt reviews not for ponies t-shirt reviews not for ponies t-shirt reviewsnot for ponies t-shirt reviewsGirl’s Pink Pug T-Shirt £10.00* (Not For Ponies) – This was made bigger for me.

The grey one is my favourite top of the two. I really like the grey colour as it is sort of marbley. I also LOVE the french pug! It’s not just printed on, it is sewn on so it looks a lot better and feels much better quality, and is obviously going to stay put! There was one thing I did find with the French Pug T-Shirt, is that around the edges of the pug was a sort of brown-ish orange colour, which I thought perhaps was to do with ironing, but I really don’t think it matters too much. The fabric is very soft, and feels very strong and durable, yet nice and light, and I would say it is like Topshop quality, so pretty darn good! I like how it doesn’t fit perfectly, so it feels more comfy and it also looks great tucked into baggy trousers like these ones. Mixing it with the trainers makes it feel casual and preppy, and I really like the feel of that style. It will be perfect for summer where I live, as it will be light and comfy rather than something that sticks to my body and makes me feel gross! I also love the rolled up sleeve detail, because it makes it feel a bit more ‘styled’ and edgy. Pretty much, I LOVE THEM! I would also style the Pink Pug T-Shirt with a midi skirt and a the same shoes, for a more girly look, which I am sure you will see on this blog one day soon!

Not For Ponies is a pop-inspired lifestyle brand.  Everything is designed and hand made by them in their Manchester based studio. They have become well known for their quirky applique T Shirts and Sweaters, and have been featured in National Magazines such as Company, Reveal, Heat, Now, Closer, Bella, Mizz (Tolly Dolly Posh is featured in Mizz this tomorrow! – May 16th), Shout and Love It. They are inspired by all kinds of weird, whacky, cute and quirky graphic imagery and are fuelled by Earl Grey Tea and Hobnob biscuits. Their stock caters for Women, Men and Children in a variety of sizes, and XS or XL sizes can be made up! (Like I had done for me!)

Side Note: I would just like to thank all my readers who have supported me over the past week. I can now say that on the 29th May, I will be leaving France to London, because of YOU! You are getting me tho the Company Magazine Style Blogger Awards! Thank You!

(I am very grateful that Not For Ponies sent me 2 of their products to review. 100% of the words above are true, and are no way edited for the sake of having free products. I wish Not For Ponies a very enjoyable year!)

Lots of Love… Tolly Dolly Posh xx

TDP Wishlist*: John Lewis Home & Garden

Posted on May 13, 2013 by TollyDollyPosh

I don’t usually do Lifestyle posts on here, but I thought I would change it up!  If I do re-decorate my room, I usually have a browse round John Lewis Home & Garden section, as it always seems to have some really cute things! So, I thought I would make a Wishlist!

john lewis home garden wishlistJohn Lewis Logan Flannelette Duvet Cover in Red From £30.00, Talking Tables Truly Scrumptious Straws £4.00, Talking Tables Pink ‘n’ Mix Paper Straws in Pink £4.00,  Pioneer Drinks Dispenser in Bright Opal £15.00, Wall’s Twister Plate £5.00 & Little Home Abbey Elephant Cushion £15.00 (All from John Lewis.)

Duvet Cover:If I ever re-design my room, I think I want to go for a more simple style because at the moment, let’s just say it’s a little bit… ‘busy’. I’m not really a red person, but I think the stripes make it a bit nicer. I also like the cream colour on it, because it makes it bit less harsh than white.
Straws: These are just too cute! Look! They’re paper, and stripey! I could imagine using these for a BBQ in summer, or just for a nice addition to the dinner table!
Drinks Dispenser: Living in the South of France, there is a LOT of wine around, and in the shops, you see wine held in dispensers, which I think is pretty cool! It’s practical, it also looks cool, and it’s just more fun! Now, I am not going to be drinking any wine, but I think it would be nice to keep fresh juice in or just to put water in! Fun, pratical and cute!
Twister Plate:I LOVE TWISTERS! I seriously LOVE them, so it is not surprise that this is on my Wishlist! I wouldn’t get all of them, as for £5 it is quite a lot, but for a cool present, I don’t think you can go wrong!
Cushion:Now, I am not a child (well I am, but you get the idea), so don’t think I love kiddy things, I don’t. BUT! This cushion is soooooo cute! It has an Elephant on it! And it’s pink.. and red! It maybe from Little Home at John Lewis, but I am still putting on my list!

So, whether you’re looking for BBQ skewers, or a cute throw for your new bedroom or perhaps some pretty cushion covers, you should definitely check out the John Lewis Home & Garden section! It’s pretty cool!

(This is a Sponsored Post on behalf of  John Lewis. You can read the full disclaimer here.)

My Style: Chin Up Buttercup….

Posted on May 7, 2013 by TollyDollyPosh

I don’t want this blog to become fully a personal style blog, but I do want to involve my style a bit more. I really enjoy doing these post and I get more feedback on these than any other post, so I guess I better do more! Please tell me in the comments if you want to see more! There will be another OOTD next Tuesday featuring some cute tops!

fashion blogger OOTD chin up butter cup my style dr martens jumble sale denim jacket fashion blogger OOTD chin up butter cup my style dr martens jumble sale denim jacketWhat I Wore: Denim Jacket €0.50 (Jumble Sale), White Dress €2.00 (Jumble Sale), Pink Belt (Oxfam), Yellow Socks £7.50 Now £5.00 (ASOS) & Dr Martens €30.00 (Jumble Sale).

Okay, well maybe a week isn’t too long, but to me IT IS! Papa Posh said that this dress wasn’t really me, but for €2.00 I couldn’t really say no! He was right, as I am not really a girly-girl, pretty dress kinda gal, but I think the way I have styled this makes it a totally different piece. The denim and my Dr Martens make it a lot more edgier and tougher, but the length of the dress still shows the flirty side of it. I really love the two pops of colour through the belt and the socks too! I think if this dress was any longer I wouldn’t have bought it as this length is perfect! Also don’t my Dr Martens look AWESOME?! (I think so anyway…) They look a bit green in the pictures, but hey ho! I am going to wear this outift a lot as the weather warms up!
I will have some pictures of some cupcakes we made the same day soon! I didn’t want to put them in with this post, otherwise it would have been ridiculously long!

fashion blogger OOTD chin up butter cup my style dr martens jumble sale denim jacketUmm… yeah….. #awkwardfashion blogger OOTD chin up butter cup my style dr martens jumble sale denim jacket

 If you’re feeling down just remember that things can only get better! (Well most things) So make the most of the sunshine and chin up, buttercup!

How To Shop at Jumble Sales

Posted on May 4, 2013 by TollyDollyPosh

As you know recently, I have been going to quite a few a lot of jumble sales recently. It’s not because my family are hoarders, it’s because you can really find some gems in the mix of things! The ‘high street’ shops where I live, really are not to my taste, so I find going to a few ‘Vide Greniers’ is worth it. 55I thought I would teach you how to shop at them! This isn’t for just French ones, it can be useful tips for the classic Car Boot in the UK, or a Garage Sale in the US. Take them and see if they work for you! (Also I would just like to say a BIG thank you to everyone who voted for me in the Style Blogger Awards, lets just hope we get a good outcome! *Fingers Crossed*)

how to shop at jumble sales, charity shops, vide greniers garage salesA Vide Grenier in the Midi Pyrenees!

Ignore Sizes & Genders: Yes, you read it right! At Jumble Sales most things will be old sizes, perhaps sizes from the 60s, 70s, etc which are different to sizes now! If you’re a size 8, don’t just look for a size 8! Something a bit bigger might look good baggy, and something a bit shorter might look cropped! Ignoring genders is also key! If you pick something up which is mens (or womens) and you like the look of it, buy it if it’s cheap!

Ask the prices: If you see something you like the look of, ask for the price! Even if it is way out your budget, or you may not ever wear or use, just ask! You never know, those old pair of vintage brogues might only be £2!

Make Do & Mend: I’m not saying do what they did in the war, but if you see something which perhaps is a bit tatty, or has a few holes, or is a bit too long, take it for a cheap price and change it up! If a skirt has a weird hem, add some lace to it! You would prefer that top with a peter pan collar? Add one! It’s cheaper than buying it new!

Haggle: If something is £7, ask for it for £5! £2, ask for it for £1! £15, ask for it for £10 or somewhere in between. Don’t worry! The worst thing that will happen is that you will get it for full price!

Take a chance: Getting back to ignoring sizes, if you don’t try something on, don’t worry! If it’s 50p and doesn’t fit, that really isn’t going to break the bank is it?!

Look out for DIY items: What I mean by this is, if there is an old box of necklaces, ask how much they would take for the whole lot. That box would be great for DIYs, as you can break of the beads and sew them onto things, or even make bracelets and other bits and bobs out of them! They’ll probably only take a fiver, so grab the chance!

Look up local Jumble Sales: Whenever we want to go out we always make sure we check out if there are any on. Even if you get there and they are packing up, or it’s the smallest ever, it might just be worth it. We sometimes get to ones, and they are all through the village!

I hope these tips were helpful! Even if you think you know how to ‘shop’, I think it’s good to know a little bit more from other people. Jumble Sales are great places for fashionista’s and, people wanting to re-vamp their style for less! (I sound like Gok Wan!) If you follow me on Instagram (TDPosh), you will be able to see what bargains I find! :)

Posh Fashion Awards 2013: FAQ

Posted on May 1, 2013 by TollyDollyPosh

Hello! By now you should know that something very exciting is happening! For the very first time, I am going to be holding the Posh Fashion Awards. Last year I did ones for fun, but this year, I really want to make it special! This year, bloggers and their readers will be able to nominate their favourite (or their own) blogs, to 10 different categories. There will be 3 shortlisted blogs for each category, and then 10 overall winners.
I decided to do this because it will be fun, easy, and also a nice way for blogs to gain exposure! Some big brands and magazines do awards, but this time it will be a chance to shine a light on blogs which perhaps don’t get as much recognition. I have also got some amazing brands which are going to are providing prizes for each category too (see below), which makes it extra special! Below you can find 3 simple rules for nominating, as well as some FAQs which may answer any questions you have…

awardssponsored

Illamasqua//Sister Vintage//Peggy Collection//Woodie & Morris//Sophie Piper PR//cutECOsmetics//Yan To//Pop Band™

1. Nominations are 1 per COMPUTER, no email addresses will be collected for non-bloggers. This allows for family members etc to vote as well on their own devices. The reason of not collecting email addresses is because it will make the nomination process easy and hassle free for non-bloggers.
3. Bloggers WILL have to enter their email address if they are nominating their own blog, as Tolly Dolly Posh may need to contact you! Don’t worry though, as you will NOT be signed up to any annoying newsletter/weekly emails! We all hate them!
4. THINK before NOMINATING! Some blog awards only go to established bloggers and I think it is nice to really think about who deserves one! Take time to think about your real favourites. Of course you can nominate established bloggers, but it’s nice to share the love to everyone!

FAQs:

What are the categories?: Best Fashion Blog (Any blog which does Fashion posts), Best Beauty Blog (Any blog which does Beauty posts), Best Lifestyle Blog (Any blog which does Lifestyle posts), Best Young Blogger (Age 10 – 16), Best DIY Blog (Any blog which does DIY posts), Best Use of Photography, Best Beauty Vlogger, Best Fashion Vlogger, Best Newcomer (Upto 1 year old), and Best Unique Blog (A blog which is very very different from the rest!)
Can I nominate me own blog?: Yes, you can nominate your own blog. One vote per computer (See #1 above).
How many categories can I nominate a blog for? As many as you’d like, as long as they are definitely true to what the blog is about.  (This will be taken into account when the shortlist is created)
I blog about Fashion and Beauty, what should I nominate it for? You can nominate it as Best Fashion and Best Beauty, or which ever you think you deserve most.
When will nominations start and end? Nominations will open on June 1st (sorry it’s a long wait!) with nominations closing on July 1st 2013, a month after they open.
I live in the USA, can I still nominate my blog? If you live outside Europe, you can still enter, but you may not receive a prize in the post, an alternative will be awarded from the category sponsor.
I know a blog which only recently started, but I’d still like to nominate them, can I? Please only nominate blogs which have been running for at least a month, so the judges can get a view of what the blog is really like. Make sure to nominate them for Best Newcomer!
Will I get emailed when my blog has been nominated?: You will be emailed once your blog has at least one nomination other than your own.
What are the prizes? The prizes are being donated by different brands (see above), and more information about prizes and the brands themselves will be released in May.
Who will be choosing the shortlisted blogs, and winners?:  The shortlist will be compiled by myself (Tolly Dolly Posh). The winners will be chosen by myself, with the help of Daniel Sandler (Proffesional MUA) and Natalie Wall (Online Fashion Editor of Cosmopolitan Magazine) who both know what a good blog really is about!

posh fashion awards judges natalie wall cosmopolitan daniel sandler mua tolly dolly posh youngest fashion bloggerWhat will be the judging criteria?: The shortlist will be created by 4 factors: 1 – Top votes per category, 2 – Whether the blog suits the category, 3 – Character of the blog itself, 4 – Ease of Use (of the blog). The winners will be decided upon 3 factors, including… 1 – Quality of Content, 2 – Appearance/Ease of Use, 2 – Individual Opinion (of the judges).
Will the Newcomer and Young blogger categories be judged differently?: They will be judged around the same factors, but the age of the bloggers and blogs themselves will be taken into consideration.
Will there be runners-up?: No, there will be no runners up due to their being quite a few categories!
Is there an event or awards show?: Unfortunately not! I believe it would be unfair as it is open Worldwide, and not everybody would be able to attend, and I am only 12, therefore I do not have the budget!
What are the T&Cs?: Along with the rules above, you can find all the terms and conditions etc on the T&Cs page here.

I hope this has answered any of your questions, and I hope you’re excited! You can find more information here. Information about the sponsors and judges will be released soon, and that’s it for now! Watch out for blog posts propping up with more info! If you do have any itching questions, please tweet: @PoshFashAwards or email: awards[at]tollydollyposhfashion.com

TDP Wishlist: 12 going on 13…

Posted on April 30, 2013 by TollyDollyPosh

Sadly on May 19th (*hint hint*) I will no longer be able to say I am a 12 year old fashion blogger! :( I will just have to admit that I am 13, and about to become a grumpy old teenager. Poo. But that’s life, so I better just suck it up, and tell y’all what I want for my birthday in the form of a small rather large wishlist! (*hint hint*)

birthday wishlist asos bank ohh deer zara revlon Acid Waves Sweatshirt £28.00 (Ohh Deer), Spot Bardot Tunic £32.00 (Topshop), Mi-Pac Spot Print Backpack £22.00 (ASOS), Ethnic Flat Sandals £39.99 (ZARA), Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain £7.99 (Superdrug), Britney Spears Island Fantasy EDT 100ml £32.00 (Superdrug), Fragrance Mist in Coconut Passion (Victoria’s Secret) & Converse All Star Sandal £35.00 (BANK Fashion).

Sweatshirt: OMG. When I found Ohh Deer a few weeks ago, I fell in love with their stock! Just look at this sweatshirt! It’s got a UNICORN on it, and it’s PURPLE, and it’s just AWESOME. I generally wouldn’t pay £28.00 on something like this, but just look at it!
Spotty Dress: I have never owned anything from Topshop, but recently I have being loving their stuff. Again, I wouldn’t really spend this much on such a simple piece, but I really love the style and colour of this. It is simple yet I could wear it in so many different ways.
Backpack: Since seeing a really cute backpack on a fellow blogger, I have fallen in love with them! I just think that they are really easy to wear, and look super cute and preppy. Along with the dress, I LOVE the spotty detailing! Gorgeous!
Ethnic Sandals: I seriously love these shoes! I love the bright colours and the print details. I really shouldn’t get another pair of shoes, but I think these would be alright…
Balm Stain: After seeing the hype around these, I finally got to try one the other day. I thought I would like the pink colours, but this coral colour is stunning! It really popped against my skin tone, and I think it would be great for summer.
Perfume: ‘Why would she want a Britney Spears perfume?’ I hear you say. Well, I have the Circus Fantasy one, and it is soooo nice! I love how fresh it is, and the packaging is amazing! I’d love to try the other ones! I think you can get this cheaper in Wilko though!
VS Fragrance Mist: I have seen these a lot recently, and I really like the idea of a scented mist. They spray a lot more powerful than a perfume, and are much lighter. They are also really big, so I am sure I would get my money’s worth. Shame I can’t find them anywhere in the UK or France! (Please tell me if you know a place!)
Converse Sandals: I really like the idea of these. They’re sporty yet stylish, and perfect for summer. I was actually bidding on a pair on eBay, but as usual the price went up at the last minute!

There maybe another Wishlist coming your way soon, because I have been loving a lot recently! Oh, and if you want to buy me anything, my address is: Laca… ;) Cheeky!

If you want to make my birthday wishes come true, please vote for me and my blog to WIN ‘Best Teen Blog‘ in the Company Magazine Style Blogger Awards! Click HERE and either choose your favourite bloggers in the other categories, or click NEXT \until the 8th Tab, where you will find ‘tollydollyposhfashion.com‘ It would seriously make my dreams come true, and you even get a chance to win some New Look vouchers! So, Good Luck and Thank You!

Lots of Love… Tolly Dolly Posh xx

Q&A & Blogging Tips with Sarah Orr

Posted on April 27, 2013 by TollyDollyPosh

My gorgeous advertiser Sarah Orr from Nars Obsessor, is going to answer some questions for you! If you’re a blogger and just want to see what Sarah has to say, or you want to start your own blog, this post will have everything you need to know! She’s going to share with you some blogging tips, a few of her favourite brands, and more! Take it away Sarah!

What inspired you to start your Blog?: I was inspired to start a blog because of school. Sounds weird, right? But english lessons seem to be full of analysing texts and seeing why things are done that way, that I wanted somewhere to just write.

Why did you choose Beauty & Fashion? I chose fashion and beauty because they are things that I am constantly exposed to, and feel a lot of other people are too. I also have a genuine love and interest in them, so it just came naturally.

What are you top tips on starting a Blog?:  My top tips are to get organised. Before I posted anything or told anyone or even made my Blogger account, I planned out exactly what I wanted to call it, write about, how it would look and make it mine. I would also advise getting involved with the blogger chats on twitter like #fbloggers #bbloggers and #fblchat.

What are your Blogging Targets for this year?: My blogging targets this year are to try and post something every other day, but still put time and effort into each post, and keep them relatable to people like me.

Who are your favourite fellow bloggers?: My favourite fellow bloggers would have to be you Tolly, (Well thank you very much!) and Zoe from That’s Zoe because you are both so friendly, genuine and a rarity in that they are bloggers similar in age to me! My top 5 ‘Bigger’ bloggers are Zoella, Sofia’s Journal, Wish Wish Wish, What Olivia Did and Jazzabelle’s Diary.

What trend are you most looking forward to working, this S/S 13? I am so looking forward to florals and pastels, as I do every year, and I’m especially loving monochrome looks!

Where’s your favourite place to grab a bargain and why?: I’m going to go wish TK Maxx (TJ Maxx in America) because even though I used to hate my mum dragging me through there, I’ve picked up some lovely pieces at massive discounts.

What’s your favourite piece of Make-Up you’ve ever bought and why?: My Nars eyeliner is something I go to everyday. I’m terrible at eyeliner, but I find that it’s so easy to apply whether you want a thick or thin line, and the pen shape makes it super easy and comfortable to hold.

What’s your favourite ever item of clothing/accessory you’ve ever bought and why?: My Prada blazer because I got it at the London Fashion Week jumble sale for £55, which is a complete bargain for a great piece like that. Some people that think blazers are only for special occasions and evenings, but I’m definitely going to have to disagree with them- I wear it loads!

Who is your favourite designer and why?: I’d say my favourite designer would be BCBG because both it’s adult and teen brand (BCBGeneration) stock such amazing clothes and accessories that are in trend and suit their target market down to a T. They’re also not as expensive as other higher-end brands, which is always a plus side.

sarah

What is your favourite Make-Up Brand?: My favourite make up brands are Topshop and Rimmel for cheaper deals, Laura Mercier and Nars (hence the blog name!) for relatively high end and Burberry and Tom Ford for that luxury, out-of-my league price range.

What’s your personal style?: My personal style changes all the time, but I think it’s generally comfortable but sophisticated.

Thank You so much Sarah for answering some questions! I hope everyone got something out of it! If you want to ask Sarah anymore questions, contact her through…

@narsobsessor – Twitter//Nars Obsessor – YouTube//Nars Obsessor – Blog

Are their any bloggers you’d like to see answering these questions? Or are you one? You can do so by buying the All Grown Up Advertising Package for just £3! Including a 200px by 200px Button, #FF Tweets every Friday and this post! For more info, click here!

If you believe I deserve it, please vote for me and my blog to WIN Best Teen Blog in the Company Style Blogger Awards! Simply click here, then click ‘NEXT‘ 7 times, until you come to the 8TH TAB (You can of course vote for your other favourites!), where you will find ‘tollydollyposhfashion.com‘. Fill in your details on the final page, and VOILA! You even have a chance of winning New Look vouchers! So, good luck, and thank you! Lots of Love… Tolly Dolly Posh xx

My Style: Beside the Seaside!

Posted on April 25, 2013 by TollyDollyPosh

”Oh I do like to be beside the seaside! Oh I do like to stroll along the prom, prom, prom! Where the brass band plays, ‘Tiddly-Om-Pom-Pom!”

I recently went to the seaside! We (The family) went to Arcachon near Bordeaux. It was about a 3 hour drive, but totally worth it – she says as her forehead stings from sun burn – as it was gloriously sunny and I got to wear a few of my recent purchases and I get to show you ‘my style’ for the day!

my style beside the sea my style beside the sea my style beside the seaWhat I Wore:Blue and White Floral Blouse €0.50 (Jumble Sale), Pleated Midi Skirt £6.00 (ASOS – Sale), Floral Grey Leggings (F&F), White Bead Necklace, Sunglasses (Claire’s) & Vintage White Lace Up Flats €11.00 (Jumble Sale).

my style beside the sea my style beside the seamy style beside the seamy style beside the seaPapa Posh in the reflection!

My style is rapidly changing, but in a good way. I decided to go for a more vintage style, and I think it worked okay (if I do say so myself!) All in all this was a pretty cheap outfit, and I am very proud of it. My brother decided to call me a ‘granny’, which in a way I agree with (….) but, I would say it’s ‘granny chic’ more than anything. I really like this skirt and I think I will wear it a lot this spring and summer. I also love this blouse! 50 CENTS?! It’s quite loose, but I think it’s a good thing as it makes it more comfortable and light for warmer climates. I also like wearing it with a pair of canvas trousers, and some flip flops. These shoes are also gems! They were from a stall at a jumble sale run by an Australian woman, who offered me them for €11.00 instead of €15.00 which was reasonable. They are real leather and really really well made, and I also love how they have a small heel which makes me feel all ‘clippity cloppity’ and special. Haha. :) Oh, and that ice cream. THAT was delicious! We had a walk down the beach after that and it was sooooo nice! We then chased the waves (SO FUN!) and went back home. I shall leave you with these pictures. The last one is my fave! Awww!

Recent Purchases #2: Jumble Sale Bargains

Posted on April 22, 2013 by TollyDollyPosh

Hello! (I really don’t know what else to say?) I hope you’re doing well! I certainly am! With the shortlist news, and now the date of my Mizz Magazine release (May 16th!), I am not too bad! So last week I did my first Recent Purchases post, and I have another! I really didn’t think I’d bought that much, but maybe I did! (JS stands for Jumble Sale below!)

recent purchases jumble sale asos charity shop haul recent purchases jumble sale asos charity shop haul recent purchases jumble sale asos charity shop haul Tie Dye Elephant Top – €1.00 (JS): This is actually a boy’s top, but I actually really like it! It looks sort of ‘rock chic’ and a bit edgy, and will look really good with a jumpsuit, and my Dr Martens.
Green Scarf – €0.50 (JS):This was a bargain! Up close it has a print of little pink and orange diamonds on it, and I knew straight away what to wear it with!
Velvet Waistcoat – €0.50 (JS): Another amazing bargain?! I think this will look great with the Elephant top, or possibly a frilly blouse!
White Canvas Trousers – €2.50 (2nd Hand Shop):I wasn’t quite sure how big or small these were at first, but I bought them anyway! I tried them on and they fit perfectly! They look really good with a nice casual top and a floppy summer hat and my new Keds!
Summer Pink Tweed Jacket – €5.00 (JS): This. OMG. I have been wanting some ‘summer tweed’ pieces so much! It is such a big trend for S/S 13, and I finally have my hands on some! It cost me €5.00 and is totally Chanel-esque. #winner
Small French Hat – (2nd Hand Shop):I can’t actually remember the price of this, but it was very cheap! My mum decided to just buy it for me even if I didn’t suit it because it is kinda’ cute! I think it is very Megan McInn-esque (Blogger – who I am soon to interview!) as she is always wearing such cute, vintage hats!
Red Faux Leather Waistcoat – €0.50 (JS):I seriously don’t know why I bought this?! We were looking at a stall which these 3 girls a bit younger than me were serving at. They said it was 50 cents and my mum paid. I am really not sure how to style this! Please tell me in the comments how you think I should!
Bright Colour Boot Socks – £7.50 (ASOS): I bought these ‘for’ my Dr Martens. I needed to buy some boot socks as I was told that if you don’t wear thick socks, they will kill your feet! I decided on these as they are bright coloured, so perfect for spring! They’re are mens, but they are actually the perfect fit, so I’m glad I bought them, but at the same time annoyed as they are now down to £5.00 in the sale! Bummer!
Vintage Box Clutch – €1.00 (JS):I have been seeing Box Clutches a lot recently, so when I saw this I had to buy it! It is very old, and has a little mirror inside which slots in to some little slits. It is really handy for holding your phone, lipsticks, any touch up make-up and even some sunglasses, so it is really practical and adds a cute touch to your outfit!

recent purchases jumble sale asos charity shop haul recent purchases jumble sale asos charity shop haul Floral and Lace Detail Dress – €3.00 (JS):This dress was originally €5.00 but I got it for 3! I was drawn to it because of the lace detailing which I think looks really pretty. I am hopefully going to take it up to knee length as I don’t really like it how it is now, but overall I am really happy with this purchase!

recent purchases jumble sale asos charity shop haul Camo Jacket – €3.00 (JS):I haven’t ever had a camo jacket! I am really happy with this one though, as it’s a slightly different fit to normal jackets, and I love the zip details! It’s a little big on the arms but I will only grow! I am going to try and get some badges and DIY it up! What do you think?

recent purchases jumble sale asos charity shop haul Mint Green Lace Blazer/Cardigan – €0.50 (JS):This is what my brother likes to call the ‘Tic Tac’ jacket. It is lovely! I haven’t got anything else in mint green (except a pair of shorts which are WAY to short now!), and this is perfect! It has 3/4 length sleeves which is great for just putting on top of something. I love the collar as well, as I think it really pulls together the jacket. This is one of my favourite purchases!

Watch out for some OOTDs coming your way soon! I may have bought a few other things yesterday too so there may also be another Recent Purchases post!… Oops! I hope you have a fab rest of your week! The sunshine’s out! Enjoy!
