Roadtesting the leather

After being so undecisive about the black leather jacket, I decided to roadtest it Saturday and Sunday to see if I wanted it permanently. Well luckily for me the weather both days warranted a jacket and for such a casual outfit, a black leather fitted the bill.

Black leather jacket, £3.49 Salvation Army Charity Shop with Comme Des Garcons t shirt, £1 boot sale and Gap black skinny cords, £3.49 Help The Aged Charity Shop.

It's in my wardrobe permanently now, as it was really handy for the rubbish weather we are experiencing at the moment!!

Nie Nie Auction-Bid for your own Diana Necklace

Stephanie and her husband were terribly injured in a small plane crash last month and there are very kind bloggers who are doing their best to raise money for her fund.

Please go straight over to Wendy, who has dedicated a post to the auction and will fully explain how you can be a proud owner-like me-of a gorgeous piece of Diana jewellery and helping the Stephanie Nielson Fund in the process.

UPDATED TO ADD-THE MORE YOU BID, THE MORE YOU GET!! CHECK IT OUT, THAT'S THE DEAL FROM WENDY!!

New haircut and Me in the Gucci inspired vintage dress!!

After doing my post on the dress-see below, I was intrigued to see what belts I had would go best with the dress, hence a try on session ensued. I tried on a couple of black belts that have gold in them but I thought this cream leather studded belt, which is from River Island, but was thrifted (£2.49), went with it best. I was brave enough to do a bare legged look, but I will wear the dress with opaque tights and black ankle boots too.

My hair was in desperate need of a cut, so I went for a bob, a lot more manageable now!!

Gucci inspired vintage dress

Hi there-I know I'm not the only one to be inspired by Guccis Fall Collection (picture from Style.com), I'm loving the colours of their dresses and wanted to be able to source something similiar.

When shopping yesterday, I came across this vintage 70s dress in the St Francis Hospice for £2.50 and immediately thought the colours were so similiar to Gucci's dresses this season!

I will wear it with black opaque tights and black ankle boots or my black and gold studded Giles Deacon for New Look sandals.

I will also wear it with a black and gold belt too, a la Gucci style!!

My August purchase

About 3 Saturdays ago, I went to the Wanstead Rugby Club boot sale and stumbled across this little beauty. Its a lovely size, more big than small and has 3 main compartments, a front compartment and an adjustable length shoulder strap.

The bag is from the Gucci Accessories Collection and has the paper certificate under the serial number-its very fragile, so I have to be careful whilst using the bag.

This is such a gorgeous bag and its having its first outing today as I'm going into town to do a spot of shopping-have a great weekend everyone!!
