Found at last-Vintage Sequin Jacket

Of course, sequins are bang on trend and many of the shops have their own offerings of jackets, dresses, leggings and tops, but I've wanted a vintage sequin jacket for ages and last week I found one!!

Its just perfect as it has 3/4 length sleeves and no buttons and its an ideal cover up for day or night-I found it at the Salvation Army for a bargainous £2.49!!

I'm wearing my Sass & Bide skinny jeans from the Red Cross Charity Shop and my freebie Paul & Joe Sister vest top, plus my other great find of the week-leopardprint shoes!!

These are virtually new and were only £4.25 from the British Heart Foundation, so another item ticked off the wishlist!!

What items do you have planned for autumn?

Thierry Mugler-Vintage Find

A visit to my very local charity shop paid dividends this weekend, when I scored this lovely sculptured black Thierry Mugler jacket. My photos aren't too brilliant, but the jacket has such a great cut, fit and fabulous shoulder pads too, so I'm guessing its an 80s or 90s piece.

I bought it from my local Sue Ryder Care charity shop for £12.99, as soon as I saw it I just had to have it-the perfect black jacket for next season.

The neckline is a really great design, as is the jacket itself. This is my 2nd Mugler piece, my first one is an 80s body con top which was a lot less in price-only 50p, LOL!!

I've a few black items now for next season-what items will you be collecting for autumn and winter?

Topshop from Sense

I haven't been thrifting as regularly as usual or doing outfit posts, so I thought I should pull my finger out now its the summer holidays!!

One of my favourite charity shops in a neighbouring town is Sense-it generally has a great range of dresses. This green sundress by Topshop was my most recent purchase and its quite humid and hot enough to wear right now:

This one replaces another 'Topshop from Sense' dress, this one now belongs to the lovely Kate at Make Do Style, who gave hers away whilst moving house-so now she's got a replacement!!

Bye bye dress-your home is with Kate now!!


I also scored a United Colours of Benetton black wool body con asymetrical style dress, this was only £4.25 and I will aim to show it soon!!

Award-Its All About Me!! And Scrap too!!

I've updated this post as I've received an award from the adorable Anika-thanks so much my dear!!!

And of course-Its an 'All about Me' award!!

Thanks so much to the lovely Gemma of Shopping in Suffolk for this award!!

Here are 7 facts 'All about Me!'

I love to sleep and relax, unfortunately there doesn't seem to be enough hours for me at night, LOL!

If I was rich, I think the majority of my money would be spent on dining out-I love food, but unfortunately I don't have a passion to cook it!!

My hobby is Thrifting-If you didn't know that about me, you do now!! I enjoy the boot sales and charity shops and adore a designer bargain!!

I love listening to music-world music, classical and Ibiza chill sounds are my current favourites

I love London with a passion-I've not been outside Europe (except to Africa) and London remains my most favourite city-each time I go I experience something new or different and I'm privileged to live only 30 minutes away from it!

Speaking of past places, I adored Marrakesh in Morrocco-its definitely a place which I would love to go back to again-a very gorgeous place indeed!!

Future places I would love to go to-Istanbul in Turkey, Florence in Italy and New York.

I give this 'MeMe' award to:

Emma-All in your innerspace

Ellie and Friends

Kate-Make Do Style

Sam-Everybody Says Don't
