Found-Breton oversized tee!!

On Saturday I decided not to go to the boot sale as I'd had a busy week at work and felt too tired to walk all of it-once I'm there, I can't just do a part of it, I have to do it all, in case I'm missing out on anything!!

Instead I went into town and had a browse. I managed to get a silver lurex bolero cardi from H&M for half price-£5 and of course I had a look in the charity shops.

Even though I had bought my Jane Norman navy and white striped camisole vest, I still was hankering over an oversized tee and also preferably an authentic Breton one. I had scanned ebay, but didn't see anything I liked. So, I was very pleased to come across this one from Armor Lux, an authentic Breton clothing company





Fete Des Mouettes is also an annual event held at Douarnenez, so I assume these tees were specially made by Armor Lux for the occasion.
It was only £1-tres bon, I believe, LOL!!

Weekly Magazine Fix......Or maybe not!!

I do love my weekly and monthly fix of magazines, my must buys are the monthly Elle and Vogue and I occasionally buy Harpers Bazaar too.

On a weekly basis, I don't always buy a magazine, although if I do, Grazia is my main magazine of choice and sometimes I choose Look instead. I think Look is around £1.50 and Grazia is now £1.95.


So, when I was in Tescos yesterday, I flew over to the magazines and had a quick skim at both, but was undecided whether to have one for the week.

I detoured over to the clothing section as I haven't been in Tescos for ages and fancied a look at what was on offer. This top in a green stripe colourway was reduced from £3.50 to £1.50- a right bargain and was quickly swooped on and bought instead of my magazine for the week!!

Its quite amazing how an item of new clothing can be bought for less than your favourite weekly magazine-I wore it yesterday and will have it longer than what I would have had the magazine, so this was my bargain of the week!!

Summer Wishlist-Almost there!!

A couple of weeks ago on 'My Wardrobe' Post, I named a few things on my wishlist. Here are a couple of things I've managed to get already:

I've been after a denim waistcoat for ages-the perfect one, that is. I struck gold with this vintage Levis Orange tab one, which is fitted and ideal for wearing over vests or bodycon dresses. Its from the Sue Ryder charity shop and was a bargainous £3.95.

I still had wanted a navy and white striped top, but decided against an oversized tee, as I have a few already. I got this lovely little Jane Norman vest at the boot sale last week for only 50p!! I also got some more jeans-a pair of Miss Selfridge bleached, pale denim skinny jeans, which will be perfect for summer and a pair of Topshop dark stretch denim bootcut jeans, ideal for evenings and Autumn.


Have you still anything on the summer wishlist?
