Latest Ebay buys!!

My latest Ebay purchases came in the post yesterday and I'm soo pleased with both-especially as they fit well-thats the only downside to buying online!!

It has the trademark Leonard tropical flowering and colours and is in exquisite condition. It has gorgeous sleeves and is made in a silk jersey, with Leonard printed randomly over the material. It is short, so I will wear it with either ankle length leggings and heels, or opaque thick tights or with trousers and then loosely belted to give it a tunic feel!!

This is a vintage 70s Trina Lewis Marjon Couture dress, which I got for less than £10-a steal, I think!! It is in excellent condition and I wanted a red dress and a prom style, so a vintage bargain that had to be snapped up!! I said a little while ago I wasn't going to buy from Ebay for a while-that so went out the window!!! Never publicly announce something you intend to do-from my experience the exact opposite happened and on more than one occasion!! But to be fair too, I don't regret any of the Ebay buys (about 4 in the last month!) so thats a good thing too!!

Savvy inspired outfit!!

First thing in the morning, I have my cup of tea, tidy the bedrooms and come and do some blogging. I love this time of day, it gives me a chance to get up to date with everyone plus I get some great inspiration too.

Well, thanks to Savvy Gal's latest post, I thought I would give my maxi skirt a different look and try it as a dress, belted up.

I thrifted a lovely vintage cardi on Tuesday-I think it is ideal with my dress/skirt!!

Thanks for inspiring todays outfit, Savvy Gal!!!

A day in Greenwich, London

Today, we all had a wonderful day out in Greenwich. This is such a beautiful place and if you visit London, should be a must, as not only is it steeped in history, it also has a gorgeous park and markets (Friday-Sundays generally) and if you are in Central London, it's easy to take a river cruise down to visit Greenwich and its wonderful Naval history.

Of course, I'm still on a floral-fest, so it had to be the Ossie Clark for todays outing!!

This is in front of the Old Royal Naval College-just before this we had a lovely picnic lunch, courtesy of Marks and Spencers yummy sandwiches and desserts!! Sadly, the Cutty Sark is being restored, so no photos of this, but me, Christopher and Robert didn't need asking twice to go on the Greenwich Wheel, a similiar version to the London Eye! I think this one is better-less queues-well no queues for us today, the wheel goes faster and you are in more of a private pod, plus it goes around a total of 4 times-we loved it-here are the gorgeous views!!

Greenwich Pier

Once we departed from the Greenwich Wheel, we headed for the park and up the hill to the Royal Observatory, which is home of Greenwich Mean Time and the famous Prime Meridian of the World. It is also a museum of time and astronomy and the Planetarium is here too, though we didn't get to go in.

Taking a pitstop at the top of the hill-the gang!!

Gorgeous views of Canary Wharf and the River Thames!!

After our visit here, there is a lovely little coffee shop at the entrance to the park, where we had coffee and cola floats!! A lovely end to our visit to Greenwich!!

My phase of summer florals is still here!

My newest thrift find-another floral for the collection!

Well, I think you all know by now that I'm mad on summer florals and as I really love Carries black floral vintage dress, when I went thrifting I was hoping to find something fairly similiar. Well imagine my delight yesterday when I came across this See by Chloe black floral dress in the Haven House charity shop. It was on sale-reduced from £3.50 to £2.75!!

I also got a cream leather studded belt, which looks really nice with the dress I had on yesterday and a white leather vintage clutch bag!!

Channeling vintage florals

This weekends Carrie posts plus todays scorching weather has totally inspired me to wear my favourite vintage floral sundress-I need to wear a favourite something, as I'm off to the dentist in a little while-haha!!!

This dress is an original Marks and Spencer 80s cotton sundress thrifted from the charity shop, and is inspired on a 50s prom look. I've had it a few years now-it always makes an appearance at some point in the summer sun!!
