DIY job number 1-Cut Offs - plus tagged!

Now summers here, I love wearing cut offs-at this length they are cool enough and comfy enough to wear in hot weather. My first pair that I did myself, my 7 for all mankind black jeans, are soo comfy that I really needed another pair on the go too.

7 for all mankind cut offs

So, last week I thought I would do the same to my Victoria Beckham rock & republic jeans, as I felt they were a little too short as jeans anyway, plus I wanted some blue cut offs.

This is the result-I'm really pleased as I have 2 pairs on the go now, plus a white pair which were already bought this length from Dorothy Perkins a couple of years ago.

I did some Levi's a couple of months ago, but on hindsight they were 'short' cut offs, meant for the beach, but really at that length I felt outside my comfort zone in them, so the charity shop and hopefully a new home has benefited from those ones!! I like the on the knee length as these can be worn anywhere, anytime.

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.
