Oh, Oh, Uniqlo!!!

Oh, just when I had a plan, its gone out the window!!! Well, I thought I would thrift my cardis and yes, I did bag a couple yesterday. Today I browsed Uniqlos online shopping site-I was soo inspired, I just had to go and get the cardigan in purple at Uniqlo in Knightsbridge!! I also loved the cardigan in dark grey, but another time maybe!!

The worst of it (well really the best of it) is these all come in LOTs of different colours, so as well as wanting more than one style, I wanted more than one colour too!! All the knits are 100% merino wool and the best bit is the prices-the cardi is £19.99, the dress is £24.99, the skinny jeans are £24.99, the short sleeve top is £14.99 and the polo neck is £19.99!!! Click on my title to view their range of wonderful knitwear!!

I really could have browsed and spent more time and money here, but I stuck to my budget reluctantly and if I'm still coveting an item, I will go again next month!!

The skinny jeans are in all different colours, but I love the purple!!


This top is great under a cardi or jacket!!



For the price, the quality and style is very hard to beat, I heartily recommend you get your winter knits from here!!!

A velvet blazer for Autumn

Well I went thrifting today and because of my finds I didn't bother going to Gap to look for the cardis. Inspired by gorgeous blogger Silje, who loves velvet blazers, I wanted to get one for Autumn too. I was pleased to find this one today at St Francis Hospice for £4!! A quick photo before it was whisked off to the dry cleaners-sheesh, the dry cleaners bill is more than the cost of the jacket, haha!!

I'm wearing the burgundy velvet blazer with my grey Gap vest top and Miss Sixty Truman jeans, all from the charity shops.
I also bagged two French Connection thick cotton camisoles, which will be ideal under this sort of jacket or cardigan, plus I got a Gap shirt, which is from this years collection and is Autumn colouring too! I've decided to thrift for cardis, as although I really like the Gap ones, at least it gives me something to look out for when I do go thrifting, rather than buying stuff I don't really need-no more dresses or bags for the moment!

Cardis for Autumn

The one main item I'm coveting for Autumn is a grey boyfriend cardigan. I've seen a ladies version in Marks and Spencer for £25, but it is thinner than what I preferred, although the style is nice. I also liked in the mens section a grey lambswool one, very similiar to picture 3 below. The pictures I've shown are all from Gap.com and I'm hoping these will be available in the UK branches, as these are the ones I like best. I am going to try and thrift for one first, but getting brand new from Gap or Marks and Spencer generally assures quality, so I may bite the bullet and treat myself to a brand new one-whoo hoo!!


Elbow length sleeve grey boyfriend cardi

I really like this one, very unusual sleeve details, plus I like the stripes!!


I like this one, a classic which will never date, although there are no pockets-the mens M&S one is practically the same, but does have pockets.
