Thrifted coat, Topshop cardigan, H&M jeans, Steve Madden boots, thrifted brooch, Matthew Williamson bangles
Ready for a night on the town
Primark dress, thrifted blazer, handmade corsage, H&M tights, thrifted brogues, Primark bangles and ring
We’re baaaaaack! Hooray, it’s so lovely to be home! We had such a wonderful ‘staycation’ – lots of good food, fine wine and happy times – and now we’re totally shattered and ready for a sleepy Sunday evening.
We visited some amazing charity shops in the city, including a great Salvation Army with such lovely, friendly staff! I found a fur stole I was really desperate to buy but at £15 and with the Mr giving me disapproving looks, I left it behind. I still feel really sad about it! I’ll definitely be back when my shopping ban is over, hunting down more bargains!
Before I shuffle off into an evening filled with pasta, PJs and trashy telly, I wanted to announce the winner of my elsiebelle competition… the lovely Vicky from LadyBug Says! Well done Vicky, I’ve emailed you!

The leopard print coat and red lipstick combo looks amazing! Sounds like you had a lovely weekend and well done for sticking to the shopping ban! x

Shame about the stole!

Yay, you’re back.
I loved the handmade corsage that you used to accessorise that lovely mini polka dot dress.
I know what you mean about the shopping thing though, I went to Beyond Retro a couple of weeks ago and was almost tempted to buy out the whole shop.
