Hi everyone!! Firstly a big thanks to you all who commented on my new header, I was the 'muse' for my sons holiday college project and I decided to use the photos for my blog-thanks Chris!
During one of my thrifting trips last month I visited one of my favourite shops, which is my local town's Salvation Army. Whilst rummaging the rails, I was totally amazed to find this vintage 70s navy floral blouse by Lee Bender at Bus Stop no less!! The thrill of finding this by thrifting is as fabulous as finding an Ossie Clark or Jean Varon, the pieces being so rare and covetable. Its relatively easy to track these down on ebay, but generally at a cost, so to find this on the rails was a real pleasure indeed and is my favourite blouse for sure!!
I'm wearing it as a jacket with a simple black vest underneath and a pair of Levi's skinnies which I've had for a few years now.
Today has been a real scorcher weatherwise and hubby and I went for a lovely walk in one of our favourite Essex country parks. Wishing you all a really lovely weekend, heres hoping the weather stays gorgeous for the next 48 hours!!

You lucky girl, what an amazng find! I must pray harder to the charity shop gods xx
That is a fabulous find, and it looks wonderful on you!
Oh I love it such a pretty color and it looks like it was meant just for you it fits you so nice!! Now that is some vintage perfection ~I am always tempted to buy some vintage of ebay I would love a dress but it is so hard to know what size since the sizing seems so different and it seems like a lot of the dresses floating around are very small. Oh enjoy your hot weather it has been 100 here everyday since we arrived a month ago but thankfully we have a pool that really helps ~Enjoy your weekend Love Heather
I love the header! Great outfit, here's hoping to a sunny weekend xx
What a find. You have definitely inspired me to keep riffling through those rails of Primark stuff in hope of finding a real gem.
Aahhh, that jacket! Lucky U! Luuuuvre it!

I love that black and white photo collage on your banner - great blouse and what a pretty print. I saw Ossie Clark going for a fortune at the Vintage at Southbank festival - do tell if you've found any going for a song!
gorgeous blouse and i love exactly how you have styled it up! love your heading picture too lady xx
The Salvation army in Ilford is my favourite charity shop also- I've never been in without finding an amazing bargain- LK Bennett skirt, silk ballgown etc!!! Do you remember when they had that Edwardian lace wedding dress in there a couple of years ago!!!
Great find with that shirt!!!!!
That looks amazing, I fear I must demand a close-up shot of the print though!! ;) xx
That's a great find and so lovely on you, perfect with your jeans. x
