Vintage blouse find!

I was really pleased to find this gorgeous vintage cream satin blouse at my local Sue Ryder charity shop a couple of weeks ago. It is unlabelled, but I love the cut and style, particularly the tulip embroidery on each shoulder and the little round buttons.

It looks like a 40s style, but I imagine it may well be from the 70s, I'll be wearing this a lot in Summer.
Next time I'll style it with something different, I was just eager to take a photo of it, LOL!!

Inspiration-Tan Leather Bags

As the new season is soon upon us, I'm hankering after a tan leather bag and have spied these lovelies for some inspiration. Tan leather never goes out of style and is certainly on trend this season.

I'll attempt to hunt one day via the boot sales or charity shops-for me, I'll be looking for a quality piece, an investment that I'll keep for a while to come-as soon as I find it, I'll let you know!!

What style or trend has influenced you for this season?

Thrift Inspiration, Doing it Military Style!!

The military and army look is very much in trend this season, check out Vogues favourite picks for this coming season:

Balmain Spring/Summer 2010, Style.com

In Autumn, I found this casual khaki green jacket by Mexx at the PDSA charity shop for only £3.99. As my only casual jackets had been denim or leather, I was after something in khaki and this fits the bill nicely as well as fitting in with this seasons trend.

Are you inspired by army or military looks this season?
