Meet Minquilla!!!

Last month I found this faux fur vintage jacket in the Saint Francis Hospice charity shop for only£5. The label is by 'Lister' and the coat is called 'Minquilla'-a faux fur mink, I presume, LOL!! Anyhow, its cosy enough for me and I'll be wearing it a lot this winter!!



I'm wearing my 'Patty Ann' Levi's jeans and my newly worn high heel boots that I got for £5 a few months ago, thrifted!!




I've also been wearing this grey snood a lot lately, its from Primark and I've had it a few months now and find it to be a great winter basic.

What are you wearing mostly this winter?

Doing the List- Make Do Style, Of Course

The lovely Kate at Make Do Style recently composed a 'Quality v Quantity 2009 Top Ten List and with her other post, 'Tinsel & Champagne' which gave same great tips, really got me thinking about what I have on the list and what I don't have.

Here are some of my most covetable pieces, numbered to Kates list:


Ossie Clark for Radley dress, number 8


My Diana Ring, number 5


Chanel Jacket, number 6 (I went for a jacket, as my coats aren't statement enough!!)


Cacherel Scarf, number 3


Jasper Conran Wedge Courts, number 7


Black Pencil skirt, nearly on the list!


Chanel Bag, number 2

Here is her list in full:


1. A watch
2. A bag
3. A scarf
4. Pearl necklace
5. Beautiful jewellery
6. A beautiful or timeless coat
7. Great pair of shoes
8. A gorgeous dress
9. White shirt
10. Great pair of jeans

And the nearly there... a pair of black trousers, a pencil skirt, a Chanel suit and a cashmere sweater.

So armed with such useful information, I see that I am devoid of.........

1. A watch

I do have numbers 4, 9 and 10, but not pictured. So, my wishlist for 2010 is this so far........

1. A watch (maybe a Birthday present)
2. For Summer 2010-A pair of skinny cropped jeans
3. For Winter 2010- A black cashmere jumper (or merino wool will suffice)

After sorting out my wardrobe earlier, I have plenty dresses, jackets, blazers, blouses, tops, tees, cardigans and jumpers-well lucky me, not much to have to scour for next year-I may have a real chance of following Kates advice of trying to save, but with a teenage son who is beginning to acquire his style, I think my pounds and pennies could well be going in his direction, LOL!!

How about you doing the list-Make Do Style of course-it really helps to fill in the blanks of what is or isn't in the wardrobe!!

Christmas Day Outfit

Hi everyone!! Hope you all had a Wonderful Christmas!! For me, Christmas was spent with my family at home, a very nice, relaxing day, full of watching Christmas TV and eating far too much food, LOL!! I decided to wear a couple of newer items that I thrifted this month.


The leggings I have on are wool leggings and amazingly warm, plus they have an elasticated waist-very handy for all that eating!! They were only £3.99-my best winter buy so far!!
This week I found this Jane Norman chiffon paisley print top, which is an ideal layering piece and was £2.75 in the Sense charity shop. I've also got on my trusty OTK boots, which are so comfy.


I hope Christmas was indeed a special and enjoyable day for you all too!!

So, own up, who's off to the Sales today, LOL!!! My older son is off to the shopping mall with his friend who are both hoping for a bargain-I think I'll stick to my thrifting when the charity shops re-open next week!!

Happy sales shopping and if you do indulge-wear flats!!
