Style

It's been a while since I posted anything about personal style, and I've been having good luck with the local chairity shops recently. Also, my flatmate revealed she has a tripod and remote, so yay for me!

Obviously I still have no idea how to use it, but here goes...

Jumper - Charity shop. Originally H&M
Shirt - Charity shop. Originally Primark
Skirt - River Island
Shoes - Converse, via eBay
Tights - M&S
Necklace - Urban Outfitters
Bracelet - Crocheted by a friend 

I also moved desks in the office, look at my new view!

Weekend forever

This weekend has been about friends, dinner, rum, walks at the seaside, card-games, music, wine, scrabble and films. This is how all weekends should be.

Dress - Anmol
Tights - M&S

May

The Bank Holiday weekend was lovely. Full of sunshine, friends, cake, cider, frisbee and pie. And I managed to record none of it apart from a minuscule amount of snapshots on my phone. So here they are...

I met my dad and sister for a quick bit of tea and cake in the newly opened vintage tearoom next door to my flat. It was AMAZING. Chocolate and strawberry is the best combination.

A giant daisy-chain me and my friend made. We draped it around a bench. Magical, non?

I also managed to get my hands on a few vintage bits and bobs, including this cute little mug and two decanters.

And finally, some terrible photos of an outfit, including a new skirt I picked up on Monday. About 30 seconds after these photos were taken, I decided to empty my bin and a GIANT spider crawled out. NO, just no.

Shirt - France (no recollection of what the shop was called)
Skirt - Miss Selfridge
Vest-top - New Look
Tights - M&S
Shoes - Peacocks
Necklace - The Curiousity Center

I hope everyone else had a wonderful weekend!

Scrabs

Went to our local Curiousity Centre on Saturday and picked up this super retro 1954 Scrabble board for a mere £2.50. We've become a bit Scrabble obsessed here at the flat, and this was the perfect addition. 

Not staged in the slightest. We always play Scrabble with vintage cider bottles and flowers and convenient twee statements on a spotless table...

Luck would have it that a vintage shop and tearoom, ReLoved, has opened next door. Amazing for me but super bad for my bank account. Today was the first day it opened and I popped in five minutes before it closed and came out with this little beauty. I've been looking for a glass decanter ever since I started watching Mad Men, but every nice one I've seen has been horribly expensive. I managed to snap this one up for £5! There will be many an alcoholic beverage poured out of it.

And here is today's look.

Three

'Aw, what sweet tights you're wearing. My daughter used to have some just like that when she was three, which she used to wear with her teeny tiny ballet tutu' was a compliment I got from one lady at work. But do you know what? Sometimes it's nice to dress like a bit of a girly girl...even if I do resemble a ballet dancing three year old.

Cardigan - Charity shop.
Dress - Topshop. Customised with rose button.
Tights - Vintage Christian Dior.
Shoes - Gift. Originally from Office.

Selfies

 Sun + cider = tired Lizzy and blurry DIY mirror shots. I kind of like how comfortable and versatile this outfit was though. Perfect for a day at work then straight onto sitting in parks with friends in the sunshine.
