Shades of blue.

This jumper only cost me a quid! I copped it recently at a vintage fair in Mile End, East London. The majority of things were going for a pound, but I also found this overcoat gem for £3. Happy days! It is so warm and I love the shades of blue it gives. Plus the added sparkle. It has a small hole in the centre- but I don't care- £1! Hello! I paired it with a simple black skirt, tights and heels, to make it stand out more. Plus a slash of red never hurt anybody!

Car Boot Sale- Vintage Style.

Last weekend, London held it's second vintage car boot sale event, along the lovely Southbank. It was a glorious day (yay!) and I headed down there after work, with a mate, with the aim of copping some great vintage finds. It was cool vibes all afternoon, with the sun shining, REKORDERLIG, a live DJ set (that had me dancing whilst shopping) and people looking as vintage as one can get. I took the opportunity to wear vintage clothing myself- I mean, if you are going to wear your vintage clothes, best do it at a vintage event, right?!
It didn't feel like a car boot sale per se, as the clothes were not being sold out of cars, regardless, there were flashy, classic cars galore and every vintage thing you can think of! I loved the classic Pepsi-Cola signs- soooo cool!

I ended up purchasing some really cool, cheap jewelry, a tropical print blazer and a mint lace maxi dress. The dress had me at hello! I don't own anything this colour- and once I brought this, I've been seeing mint everywhere. Haha! (I guess that's because pastels are on trend too). Looking forward to rocking this in the summer sun. It looks SO classic on!
Twas a great day, which ended with free hot dogs! We even bumped into Justin Lee Collins!
Enjoy the abundance of pictures!

With my free hot dog from Engine Hot Dogs- thanks guy!

Grandma's vintage.

This blazer has not been featured on the blog since my first post! Funny, as I wear it, like, all the time. Anyways, I've had this blazer for years and will never tire of it. It was my grans. She had style alright! (this is one of many things I have of hers). It literally goes with anything, and if not, I just wear it anyways. Here, I decided to make it the show and pair it with an all black ensemble. I'm rocking my new skort from Primark- it's really cool. A smart pair of shorts basically. And my red beanie that I hardly wear- it makes the red from the rest of the outfit (and me lips) pop!

Blazer- Grandmother's.

Crop Top-New Look.

Skort-Primark.

School girl chic.

I feel like I'm giving off the school girl look here- just with a bit more edge. Basically, if I could have designed my school uniform, using the given: shirt; jumper; and skirt, it would look similar to this. I copped this skirt from a vintage fair I went to last year and if I remember correctly, it was only a fiver! I fell for the pleats and the colour (of course), and it is so comfy and floaty, great for warm/summer weather (shame we won't be getting any here any time soon). It's longer too, but I rolled it up a bit- wanted to give the shoes a show.

As I mentioned in my Primark haul, I am getting more and more impressed with what Primark is offering us. I got this sweater from there. It was a tenner and I didn't think twice. I love the print on it- like it has a story to tell.

Now onto my bag. My new baby! I got this side bag from the Ted Baker Sweet Shoppe that was up after Christmas in Westfield (I don't know if it is still there).There were so many colours to choose from, I am glad I eventually decide on this nude/bronze one. It's beautiful and I love how the metallic straps and detailing perk up an outfit!

Mosaic top.

I recently went out for lunch with a friend to Wagamama. I know the whole world and her son has been there, but nevertheless, it's always a great (when you're stuck for other options) place to go. We went to the Holborn branch, which I have never been too. It had the air of a high school cafeteria- just a lot less busier (people must have been at work).

The post is really just for this AWESOME top (so ignore the rest of the outfit) I copped whilst in Rwanda from a street vendor- those Rwandans love vintage shopping too!! As soon as I saw it, I knew I couldn't leave without it in my bag. I love the colours and the mosaic print- it is very me. (Was so glad that it fitted too-you never know with street vendors!) The lady was selling it for 3000Rwf (£3), but after just purchasing a Kaftan that is worthy of going for at least £30 in Monsoon, for £1.50, I knew I had to haggle on it- what! I can't help it! Haha! This woman was determined- she knew it was an eye-catcher and of good quality- so I only got 50p knocked off and brought this masterpiece for 2,500Rwf (£2.50)-which is ah-maze-ing!! I'm in love with a top. That is all. 

Top (vintage)- Rwandan street vendor- £2.50!!

Hope you all had a blessed Sunday. I sure did, I went to Hillsong Church and it was wonderful!
