Charity Shop shopping!

Because I am low on funds at the moment and wanted to do a good deed, me and my two friends, Milli and Katie went charity shop shopping! I always love going to charity shops because they always have something good in there you may have to look around for it but trust me its there! When i was digging around the rails I was so pleased when i found this blouse!




The blouse was originally from Eastex Heirloom collection. I got it from the british heart foundation charity shop for £2.99! I really love this shirt and I think that it looks great with leggings I tried it with alot like jeans and a skirt but it looks best with good pair of black leggings!

The detail on the blouse is really beautiful and gives it a really nice vintage look! I also bought a pair of light blue jeans but I have to take them in first! I will do a post on the finished product soon!

Lots of <3

My new sewing machine!!

Well should I say old sewing machine! I have always wanted to be a fashion designer and so I have always wanted a really old fashioned sewing machine!  When I was in town yesterday I was in a vintage shop looking for some curtains (as you do) and when I was looking around something in the corner of the shop caught my eye... I looked and there it was a 1933 singer sewing machine! Exactly the same as my mum had when she was 15!
Here it is...


I am very happy now I have my sewing machine and I am sure that I will be showing you lots of things that I have made on it. It may take me a bit longer, but it will be worth it!


Lots of <3

Birthday Fun :)

I thought that I would start my posts with my friends birthday party! :) I really admire these girls style and I always LOVE what they wear!

This is me, Grace :) I am wearing a white lace dress from H&M, only £19.99! I think that this dress would look really good a nice pair of heels especially a pair of wedges! I wore it with a pair of plain black flats and a scarf for a more casual look. This is offically my favourite dress!!



This is my friend Milli. Milli wore a beautiful dress from Republic! Milli wore a pair of ankle boots with this dress and a denim jacket which looked GORGEOUS!



This is my other friend Safi. She wore a black lace dress from Matalan which was an amazing £20! Her belt was from Warehouse and her scarf was from T K Maxx and was by Adrienne Vittadini and was £14.99! She looked AMAZING! :)

What do you think of our outfits? What would you wear differently?

Lots of <3
