Boot Sale Saturday!!!

For a change, the weather was gorgeous when we got up Saturday morning. So hubby and I set off for the boot sale in Chigwell Essex for a stroll and some much anticiapted bargains. I thought to take a few pictures to show you what the boot sales are like-here I am, enjoying an early morning tea and burger!!!

I'm wearing a purchase made mid week-my 'perfect' black leather jacket, that I found in Sue Ryder Charity shop for £10! I 'm so pleased with it, I will show better pictures of it later in the week!!! Anyhow, the boot sale for me was really good, I managed to get a black padded parka for winter for £5, a black boyfriend style merino wool cardigan for £3, 2 grey tops for £1 and some gorgeous biker ankle boots for £1-I'll show these later in the week too!! So, this week I've spent £20, but quite a haul of needed goodies!!


The rest of Saturday was spent relaxing and visiting my mum in hospital-she broke her ankle last week, poor thing, so I've been on hospital duty all this week. Hopefully, she can come home midweek. Its no fun for her being bedbound, but she's bearing up brilliantly. She had to have an op to put things right, so lots of rest, recuperation and patience needed!!

Thrift Inspiration, doing it the Wang way!!

Sequins are so on trend for this season, evident in Alexander Wangs collection for A/W 08

I was lucky to bag this vintage sequin waistcoat/vest at the boot sale a few months back for £1!! The same lady also sold me some lovely satin skinny DKNY trousers for a £1 too! Anyway, this is my take on the Wang look-this piece is so versatile, I can wear it with a jumper dress, skinny polo neck and long length jeans, a floaty blouse.

Here are my £1.30 pair of jeans I got last month from the PDSA charity shop-I'm rocking the roll up look today!! Have a great weekend everyone and hope the sun shines for us all!!

Thrift Inspiration, doing it the Sonia way!

Sonia Rykiels A/W 08 collection has a great injection of colours, especially the knitwear. This time of year is when we will be digging out our jumpers and cardigans from previous winters, or doing a wishlist to stock up on some new ones-pictures from Style.com


Last winter, I was lucky to find this Sonia Rykiel jumper for a bargain £2.49 at Help The Aged charity shop-sadly it closed in August, it was a favourite of mine, where I found some other great bargains too. Anyway, its rocking the stripey, coloured trend for winter and I will be sure to wear this favourite piece to keep me cosy in the next few month!!

What is your favourite winter jumper or cardigan, that you own already or wish to buy?
