I've Been A-Spending!

Looking through other girls' blogs and admiring their vintage finds make me wish my town was filled with vintage shops.


All I have is a load of charity shops filled with old ladies' mint green blouses. Oh, there is one vintage shop- 'Second Sight' but I went in there not so long ago and it was granny vintage. Not nice vintage. Plus it wasn't cheap. But I'll pay another visit, take some pics and tell you how it went.


In the meantime I still have shops with good old sales.
I remember last September I spotted these lovely boots in Dorothy Perkins.
They were £40 though and i had no argents. Lucky me found them last Saturday on the sale rail for £10. I had been saying that day how I wanted some new boots; I wanted some flat leather ankle boots anyway. These ones remind me of booties that Peter Pan would wear. Why that is a good thing I do not know. Maybe because I was obsessed with watching the film when I was younger. You can also wear them up.

Usually I wouldn't pick this pair out, but something drew my attention to them and they also reminded me a little of the beige strappy boots Sienna Miller likes wearing.
I only paid £20 for the two pairs. That's definitely happy spending.
Only a week and a couple of days till I fly to Holland.
I can't wait.
My Oma is a genius and so stylish when it comes to clothes and fashion. She makes most of her own and used to go to fashion shows with her fashion buyer friend when she was younger. She gave me a YSL scarf she was given at one of the shows. She used to go to designer shops, try on the clothes and make them at home. Anyway I really want to learn her skill so she's going to teach me when I see her. Will keep you updated!

Well, Here We Are

I'm back in England again. Since Thursday. Missing my family, so having my laptop back and writing posts is a good cheer-me-upper.

I have noticed that alot of fashionoggers (haha, do you like it? It's my new, but weird, name for fashionista bloggers!) show some of their outfits in their posts. This is a cool idea, I think. And although it means that you're putting yourself up for easy insults, oh what the hell, I'll shut up now.

Anyway, here are my latest buys.



Remember the Zara ankle boots I talked about in a previous post, and the Bershka waistcoat? I managed to get them-here they are!



Ok. We were shopping in a huge shop called De Bijenkorf (Beehive in Dutch)-has lots of designer clothes, make-up etc etc and about 5 floors! Doesn't seem like alot for you New York and London girls, but still it was a good shop compared to things in my small town. Anyway we went there after we had gone to this other shop, similar to De Bijenkorf, called V&D. I was looking through the scarves when I spotted this anchor scarf ^above^. I love all things Sailor, so I had to buy it! It was only 5 euros anyway. Bershka wasitcoat, Zara boots. Round-pointed black pumps for my last year of school! Escada Sunset Heat perfume-absolutely gorgeous, sums up all the smells of a perfect beach summer holiday. And look at this fuschia pink clutch I found yesterday (I was supposed to be shopping for art things to make my dragonfly for our natural forms project) it was only 3 pounds! And I got the skinny cobalt blue belt with it free (buy one get one free).
