Recent Purchases #2: Jumble Sale Bargains

By April 22, 2013 Fashion, My Style

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!

Recent Purchases: Jumble Sales, IKEA & ASOS

By April 8, 2013 DIY & Lifestyle, Fashion, My Style

Bonjourno! I hope you are well young soul! (Read this phrase again, in an Irish accent) It is that time again where I have want to show you what I have bought recently. Most of it is from Jumble Sales (Vide Greniers) but there are 1 or 2 other things in their too! All of the things I have bought recently have either been fashion related or just super cute, so here goes! A few other things I have bought recently will be in a post like this next week too!

recent1 recent2Scarf – €0.50: Since watching Ingrid (missglamorazzi on YouTube) and Fleur (FleurDeForce on YouTube), I have fallen in love with summer scarves! This one is super soft, and has really cute colours on which match my new Keds, and it was only 50 cents, which is like… 45p?
Keds – £37.50: My new pair are b.eaut.i.ful. I have grown out of my navy blue pair, and ASOS saved me by selling me these blue floral ones for half the price than Schuh, or the Keds site.
Clear Bowl – €1.99: I use this little gem to hold my hair clips and ties. It’s from IKEA and is really simple, and has cute doily detailing on it, I blame Lisette Henry for blogging about a similar one, I seriously have fallen in love with cute bowls and plates!
China Models – €1.00 and FREE!: Ever since I bought a similar rabbit head (NOT a real one), I have kept my eyes open. I use the blue man to hold any dainty necklaces around it’s neck, and then the rabbit, I keep on my desk, which was free! 🙂 They are super cute, and add character to my room! Aw…
Floppy Hat – €2.00: I am blaming another blogger *cough cough* Megan McInn, as she simply looks gorgeous when wearing one, so I decided to try one out myself. There are plenty on eBay, but this one was there and then, and only cost me 2 euros. BARGAIN!
Style Feed: My mum got me this as an early birthday present. It’s similar to my book ‘The Style Diaries’ as it features loads of bloggers which are well established, but some you may not of heard of. In this book, the blogs are picked out by Susie Bubble, and I found out some interesting stuff. I’m not saying it’s bad, but I do prefer ‘The Style Diaries’ as it has more blogs, and more unique ones, but either are good!
Daisy Purse – €0.20: OMG. I am so glad I got this. It cost me 20 CENTS?! There were a few others, but this one caught my eye the most, as daisies are really big this season. It is also sort of ‘Marc Jacob-esque’, I think and it will look great for summer. It’s a sort of plastic material, but that means it is waterproof, and will be good for keeping my sunglasses in.

recent3 recent4Kenzo Jungle Trousers: I bought these in this massive sports hall in a small village, where there were rows and rows of clothes. A lady selling these, asked what size I was and I didn’t really like the pattern, but I was asked to try them on. They fitted like a dream, and were comfortable. They looked nice and were Kenzo, so they were in my bag, with in a matter of seconds. €3.00 and they will look great with a t-shirt I bought at the same place (Sorry, it was still drying so I couldn’t take a picture, but it’s got an elephant on it!)
Yellow Floral Skirt: My mum picked me up this. I think it’s really cute, and will look great with a frilly blouse, and my new House of Holland socks (Darn, forgot to photograph them!). I have a pink one similar, but I love the colour yellow, so this is even better!
H Morgan Demin Jacket – €0.50: I haven’t owned a Denim Jacket for ages. The last one I had was when I was about 6 (The one here.) and I finally found one! It’s a little bit too short, but will be a nice ‘cropped’ size for summer. I will be wearing this A LOT. Plus, it was under a euro.. soo… I’m a happy chicken 🙂
Black and White Trainers – €5.00: Oops. I may have bought another pair of shoes… These are quite unusual actually, as they are converse style, but have a pointed toe, and are also shiny. I thought I’d get them for a bit of a change up, you know, try a new style and all!
Dr Martens 1460s Black Shimmer Boots – €30.00: YUP! If you don’t know already (Somebody obviously didn’t read my last post…) I now own a pair of Dr Martens! Yes, these babies slipped onto my feet yesterday and I love them! My dream was to get a black pair, but I couldn’t really say no, as these are my size and very cheap. They are sort of grey-ish, green-ish black metallic colour which I have decided, I LOVE! Seriously cannot wait to wear these. Don’t think I will be in a hurry though, it’s chucking it down 🙁

Charity Shop, ASOS & British Haul!

By February 23, 2013 Fashion, My Style

Bonjour again! I was going to do a video to this post but I’m too cold! And, the lighting today has been terrible, so I didn’t! Most of you will know that Papa Posh just got back from the UK on a short trip back, and he brought me back some goodies! A long with that I have also had a few purchases as well, so I thought I would put them altogether and do a Haul for you! Some of things you can get, and some of things you can’t but hey ho, it makes a good post! (Sorry about bad pictures, only on the iPhone today!)

photo 1From L to R: Pink Faux Snakeskin Bag (Charity Shop), Pleated Midi Skirt £6.00 (ASOS – Out of stock), Kenzo Top (Charity Shop), Dolce & Gabanna Top (Charity Shop), Converse Top (Charity Shop), Shrimps & Bananas (Poundland), Fizzy Strawberry Belts (Poundland), Strawberry Pencils (Poundland), Converse Style Shoes – on top of box – 10 euros (Charity Shop), Basketball Shoes £7.99 (H&M).

It’s been so long since I went back to the UK!photo 3photo 2 (2)I think my mum said this was only one euro, but I can’t be sure! It’s a really nice size, and I think if I ever get an iPad, this would be perfect!photo 1 (2)Yes! I got some designer clothes! I think these were about 5 euros each (BARGAIN ALERT). At first I looked at the Kenzo – yes KENZO – one, and thought it was gross but with my midi skirt – Post coming soon! – I think it will look really good, as well as the D&G top which is a little too big, but I think it will still look good with a white cami underneath.photo 4I am so excited to start reading this month’s issue! It’s so pretty and colourful! I always look forward to them!

Sorry there are no pictures of the shoes! I accidently deleted it at first, and then I forgot to take a picture the second time! 😛 Anyway, I hope you like this, and be sure to read it over and over again, because I am telling you now, I am not going to be spending after this Haul!
