Carboot goodies!

Good Afternoon bloggers!

I'm having a bit of 'downer' today as I recently applied for an amazing TV entrant job and was unsuccessful. As many of you graduates are aware, its difficult finding a job- especially something you have dreamed about doing for a long time. Hey Ho, every cloud has a silver lining and I'm a great believer that everything happens for a reason.

Enough about that... I cheered myself up by doing a spot of thrifting this morning. 

At many carboots you will notice a lot of house clearence companies. Well I was lucky enough to be passing by and they were giving things away for free! If your anything like me, I jumped straight in and had a rummage. I'm really loving retro prints at the moment and I spotted this very ugly teapot with old flower prints on it. Mustard is a very 60s colour and I couldn't help but love this cute teapot. I've been hunting for a nice pot to put some flowers in and TADAHHHHH this is what I have created! Plastic flowers are prefect as the colours always stay and you never need to water them. (I'm useless at that).

I also purchased these old fashioned frames. I recently helped my family clear my grandmothers house and I found some old retro magazines. I pulled the pages out and have been looking for a cool way to display them. They look pretty cool huh?

I love buying unique clothes as I don't like to dress the same as everyone else. I spotted this lace top with tassels and it only cost £1. Its great for the summer as it can be worn as a cover up (so you don't get burnt) and will look cute with a pair of vintage Levi cutoffs. I can't wait to wear it.

Have you purchased anything nice recently? Or any bargains you'd like to share? I love hearing from you :)

Back soon,

Bristol charity shops and sale haul

Good afternoon Bloggers, today I made my way back to Bristol as I'm moving out for good on Wednesday (sad times). These past 3 years have flown by and I can't believe all of my stuff has been packed up! This afternoon I decided to cheer myself up a bit and have a rummage on Gloucester Road. It is full of chairty shops and I enjoy this thrift the most!

I also checked out the sales in the city centre- there is so many at yeh moment! Shame I'm a poor student!

As soon as I walked into Marie Curie I noticed this skirt straight away. It has a beautiful Africa inspired print which is very chic. This would look great with a tan, especially with all the heat at the moment! Originally it is from Primark costing £10 but I paid £3.

From the same shop I also purchased this stunning Laura Ashley jug. At the moment these are becoming very popular to use as flower pots and when I'm back from university, I plan to do the same. Laura Ashley is quite pricey but you can get great bargains in store. I only paid £1.50 for this so I can't complain at that. Its small and very cute, will look great in my bedroom.

I popped into Dorothy perkins and noticed this. How wonderful is the pattern?! Its so georgous and summery. It will lovely with a simple black vest and my favorite vintage satchel! Paid £12 but got my student discount on top. Can't wait to wear this piece!

Have you ever thrifted in Bristol? Let me know your bargains!

Back soon,
