Boot Sale Saturday!!!

Well, another Saturday, as it was dry hubby and me decided to go for a brisk walk around the boot sale, it was freezing first thing! Winter is definitely setting in, I think!!

Here I'm wearing one of the grey tops I got last week, which was only 50p. I love the little gold and diamante studs which make up the skull and crossbone. I'm also wearing some diy grey wool armwarmers. These came about from a dress a couple of years ago that got shrunk in the wash, so I kept the sleeves as warmers to layer up an outfit!!

These are the biker ankle boots from last week too, which were £1. They are soo comfy, I'm yet to wear them though.

Todays bargains were few and far between, it is definitely the end of boot sale season, I reckon. Still, I picked up these gorgeous leather and suede sheepskin lined boots for £1-I think they're from the 80s. They are a little too small on the right boot, hopefully my big foot will stretch it out!!

I also got this Muppets Animal top for 50p. I'm loving grey tops at the moment, I think because its such a neutral colour and goes with anything!! I can see this with a studded belt and jeans or leggings and my black leather jacket!!

If you've been shopping this weekend, hope you picked up some great bargains!!

Thrift Inspiration, doing it the JPG way!

The A/W 08 collection from Jean Paul Gaultier showcased his love of print and design, particularly in an artistic way-I love this first look especially.

This 80s/90s jacket by Jean Paul Gaultier is so reminiscent of this years trend. I got this last year from my local Sue Ryder Care charity shop. I adore the designs used-snakes and mythological ladies and creatures, it is a picture in itself.

The best bit was it was only £5!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Tagged!!

The lovely Nothing Elegant tagged me last week, for 6 of my quirks-well here goes!

1. I've just recently got back into listening to the radio-its something I really enjoy, but don't do enough!

2. I've a dentist appointment at the end of this month, so I've been ultra obssesive with cleaning my teeth-I don't want a telling off again!

3.Am I the only gal who adores buying clothes but then ends up wearing the same sort of clothes over and over again? Jeans, leggings, tops are rotated regularly, while my lovely dresses, hang there, waiting patiently to be worn!!

4.Be prepared-I've completed my winter wardrobe shopping and we are now having an Indian summer-typical! Mind you, I'm not digging out the summer dresses just yet!

5.My favourite food is currently paella, curries and pasta with carbonara sauce-no, not all together!

6.I still love blogging!! Yes, I have my up and down days, even contemplate jacking it in, but on the whole, still loving it and still plan to continue-yay!!

Consider yourself tagged if you want to share your innermost thoughts and quirks with us all!!

My new 'perfect' black leather jacket!!

I found one, I found one-haha!! You all know I wasn't over impressed with the last black leather jacket I bought-it was only £3, but I still wasn't overkeen. Anyway, that jacket, 2 other jackets and a blouse and skirt were passed to my sister in law who has daughters so I don't know who ended up with what!! Last week, I tracked down the jacket of my dreams-it has chunky zipper pockets and studs on the collar, cuffs and waistband, plus it is a really fitted style and the softest leather too!!

I found it at Sue Ryder Care charity shop for £10 and I know it will go with everything and anything in my wardrobe-the search is now over!!

What are you searching for that you have yet to find or purchase?
