70s Revisited

This is the 70's vest I got in the week from the charity shop.

It's a Marks and Spencer vest and has all music words over it-totally unusual!!

I've paired it with my 7 for all mankind jeans, which are slightly flared, keeping up the 70's vibe!!

I also found in my wardrobe some silver gladiator style flat sandals, that were in the sale a couple of years ago at Dorothy Perkins for £5!!

Well, the reason as to why they were at the back of the wardrobe, unworn, is that the toeposts are hard and uncomfy :-(

I'm hoping I will have the stamina to break these in, as they are gorgeous sandals!!

Prada Inspiration-black lace

Ever since I've seen the Prada fall collection, I've been coveting lace and thought I wanted something to fit this trend.

Voila, I fell upon this lovely lace and ruffle top in the week for only £1.50!! But as it is so sheer, I had put it away, thinking of what I could wear underneath it. Well, thanks to Elle magazine, my free vest from yesterday is just the ticket!!

I was very pleased with the result and for not a lot spent too!!

Freebies and nautical thoughts!! Tagged, too!!

You all know I love a freebie, so this months Elle had to be purchased. Not only have they got the separate runway guide for autumn, but there is a free Warehouse vest too. There are 4 colours to choose from-mine is a khaki beige colour-get yours now!!

I also went thrifting and was pleased with my purchases. I got a vintage 70s Marks and Spencer vest for £1 and this lovely yacht skirt, which is modern but looks vintage inspired, for £2.99. I thought it would go very nicely with my new shoes from yesterday!

The lovely Emma also tagged me, so here goes 6 uninteresting facts, all about me!

1. My favourite ice cream is currently walnut and advocaat, from Aldis-so delicious!!

2. I really love courgettes-my favourite vegetable of the moment.

3. I love a bargain and rarely like paying full price for any clothes related items!!

4. My new favourite colour is red.

5. I want Nadal to win Wimbledon this year!

6. I need to catch up with my washing duties-a mothers work is never done-haha!!

All my lovely blogger friends-consider yourself tagged if you so wish!!

Red Shoe Fix-Solved in the supermarket!

Well I had to go to my local supermarket, Tescos to get a few things before work this morning and I couldn't walk past the shoe section without having a proper look, could I? I spied these perfect red canvas wedge peep toe sandals for only £10, so in the basket they went!

These are ideal for summer and hopefully will go with a lot of my summer wardrobe too!!

I only have to find black shoes now, but I want patent or leather for these.

Preen Power Cocktail Dress

Well, if money was no object, I'd have one in black and one in red-I'm loving Preens Power Cocktail dress, as worn by Agyness, Gwyneth and Amy, all in their own stylish chic ways.

The wide straps enable you to wear a bra and make shoulders look slimmer, tucks and pleats across the boobs are ideal for flat chested or busty gals, an extra panel across the tummy area gives extra support and the viscose/elastane mix material moulds to the body. It's also lined with a tube of power net which is a tough contouring mesh used in corsets.

I totally love the body con style dress and I think this dress is totally inspirational if looking for that LBD!!
