Thrift Inspiration, Doing it Alexander Wang style!!

For a little while now, I've been after a black hobo style bag, which is not too big and can go over my shoulder. So in my local Sue Ryder Care charity shop a couple of weeks ago, I came across a black leather bag, by Designers at Debenhams. It's by John Richmond and was a must buy for only £5.99.

I thought it was fairly similiar to the 'Donna' bag, brought out by Alexander Wang last year, with the zipper pockets and slouchy, hobo style.

The Donna bag, by Alexander Wang


What I like about my one is the studded details on each side, which is totally on trend for this season.

Plus, its not too big and I can get all my things in it on a daily basis with no problems-the ideal everyday bag!!

What style of bag are you lusting over this season?

Winter in leopardprint and OTK boots

A couple of weeks ago, hubby kindly treated me to some over the knee boots, which are flat, faux leather patent and very comfy and rainproof. I decided to wear them for the first time this weekend for shopping in town and with the weather all rainy, windy and cold I wore my faux fur vintage leopardprint coat.

As you can see from the second picture, I had to add my snood.

Are you ready for winter?

HeatTech @Uniqlo

I've always been a fan of Uniqlo, I find their items really wash and wear well, are stylish and are very reasonably priced. A couple of weeks ago I decided to try their HeatTech range.

It has Seven Technologies, which are: Heat Generation, Heat Retention, Soft Texture, Odour Control, Stretchable Comfort, Anti-Static and Non Deforming.

Well I ordered a dark brown polo neck jersey and a royal blue scoop neck jersey and although I've only wore the royal blue one, it certainly kept me warm when I layered it with a bolero on top. It also washed up well and looks like it barely needs ironing.

The polo neck version is available in an array of different colours and is on sale price for £7.99

The scoop neck is also available in different colours for £9.99

There are also different styles available and I do recommend them from personal use-they are a stylish and warm way to layer up this winter!!
