Thrift Inspiration, Doing it Net-A-Porter Style!!

Whilst thrifting last month, I spied a silk khaki shirt for only £1.99. I picked it up and thought about it and put it back and went home. After looking at Net-A-Porter and 'Look' magazine, I realised it would be a great buy after all so I went back and snapped it up!!

Khaki military is a trend that although is back this summer, never really goes out of style, so any basic piece in this trend will be a keeper anyway. Here are what the designers have in this trend:

Balmain, £705

Elizabeth & James, £230

My shirt by Debenhams is from the Salvation Army charity shop and for silk was a fabulous bargain at only £1.99.

What items of khaki/military will you be in this summer?

Thrift Inspiration,

Over at Net-A-Porter, the range 'T' by Alexander Wang features this long black maxi jersey dress for £108. Its quite elegant, in a comfy and relaxed way too:

I found my equivalent-its a 90s dress by Miss Selfridge which I purchased at my local Sue Ryder charity shop for £5.95 last week.

I've paired it with a grey marl camisole underneath for a sporty relaxed feel-oh and because its not that warm at the moment either, LOL!!

Wishing you all a very Happy Easter, I will be having Easter holidays with the children for a couple of weeks and will be having an online break too, so I'll certainly be back with you all later on this month!

Double denim-biker style!

Double denim is quite a controversial trend-you either love it or not. I'm willing to try it once, or more if it works!

I purchased this Topshop Moto biker denim jacket from Cancer Research charity shop a couple of weeks ago for £3.99 and I'm wearing it with my grey Comme Des Garcons tee, which was £1 from the boot sale a few years ago.

I'm also wearing my denim leggings from the local market last year, a few months before denim leggings, jeggings and treggings really became on trend!!

How about trying double denim this season?

25 Top Thrift Finds!!

I've had a lot of lovely comments regarding my thrift finds so I thought I would make a slideshow of my favourite designer thrift finds that are still in my wardrobe and were sourced from the boot sales and charity shops.

I hope it gives you all some inspiration to hunt down your own bargains and it proves that they are out there if you're prepared to rummage for them!!

Sunday Lunch in London

At the weekend, hubby and I took ourselves to London, where we had lunch, a lovely stroll along the South Bank and Embankment and bumped into some celebs who were doing their bit for Sports Relief.

Weatherwise, it was a gorgeous, sunny day so I wore my Mexx khaki jacket, thrifted from the PDSA charity shop in Autumn for £3.99, my thrifted George Rech Breton jumper, my new denim Chanel style across the body bag by Marks & Spencer and my new grey jeggings from Marks & Spencer:

We had a lovely day, people watching and enjoying the sunshine, London is such a fabulous place to visit
