Feet First!!

Today I went shopping for some sandals. I wore my new Adidas Superstars, as it was pouring with rain and I didn't want to ruin my other shoes or sandals or wear boots (reminds of winter!)

Adidas Superstar Trainers, J D Sports £55

I got these first-black leather sandals from Primark £15

And then these, from Matalan-Dark brown leather sandals, £18

I think these will both be ideal with summer and vintage dresses

My Favourite High Street Shops

Obviously I love thrifting the boot sales and charity shops, but I also like the high street too. My favourite high street shops are Zara, Mango, Topshop and River Island. Whilst browsing the internet, I was pleased to see that Mango have an online shop!! They deliver to a lot of places worldwide-definitely Europe (check their website for more details). Here are a pick of my favourite dresses. Also they have an outlet online, which offers items from previous seasons-the last dress is from the outlet and is reduced to only 15.95 euros-I'm seriously tempted-it's soo cute, isn't it!!

Yesterdays finds-some more bags-Quelle Surprise!!

Uh-oh! Yes, I'm like a magnet where bags are concerned-the numbers have gone up on last weeks post now-ha ha!! I couldn't resist and in my defence, I don't have any already in these sort of styles-so that's ok isn't it? These are all from the Chigwell boot sale, yesterday :-)

Black leather Cosci Italian mini flap quilted bag with chain strap, £1

Vintage Burberry tan leather saddle bag, 50p

Vintage Louis Feraud black leather quilted bag with chain strap, 50p

UPDATED TO ADD-Pamcasso queried the number of bags I had now-these 3 now add the total to 22!! ha ha!!

My son, Chris-the stylist!! Ha Ha!!

Todays outfit for thrifting at the boot sale :-)

Levi's waistcoat, £1-Noak Hill Boot Sale, Striped jumper-Georges Rech, £2.50 Charity Shop, Diesel Bleached Denim Skirt, £2.90-Sense Charity Shop, Leggings, £7-Uniqlo, Celia Birtwell Tote-Elle magazine freebie

Today I was the taxi service to my older son Chris and his friend, for the boot sale in Chigwell Essex-not that I needed prompting to go anyway!!!

Well, once we got there, they went their way and I went mine. After an hour or so, Chris found me and said "Mum, I've found a Celia Birtwell dress-well, I think it is, come and see". Well, I was intrigued and thought bless him, he's found a floral dress but odds on it wouldn't be Celia Birtwell. I was so wrong-ha ha!! He got there first and held it up to show me!!

The one in the middle is the one he found-aahhh!! it was only £2, in my size as well, so the boy did good!! I've trained him well-ha ha!! He is under instruction to find an Ossie Clark now-well, you never know!! I found on my own today a Louis Feraud Black leather bag for 50p, a Levi's California t shirt for 50p, a black mini quilted a la chanel style bag for £1, 2 pairs of brand new Topshop earrings for £1 each and an authentic Burberry tan saddle bag for 50p!! Bargains galore, I will post piccys later!

Have a lovely weekend everyone-next week is school holidays so in between seeing my mum as it's her birthday, I will be going to see the Sex and the City movie-can't wait- and the boys want to see the new Indiana Jones film!
