(Cardigan - New Look, Stripey Vest - H&M, Floral Oversized Crop Top - Thrifted, Black Satchel - Primark, Floral Shorts - Matalan [Sale], Lace Blouse and Black Mini Skirt - Both H&M)
It's been a little while since my last post, and to be totally honest I haven't had a great week. Things have been pretty rough at home and blogging has been the last thing on my mind. However, like many women, when I'm upset I like to shop, and looking back at these pictures, I think you can see, I've been pretty darn upset.
(As above plus Crochet T-Shirt - Thrifted, Sleeveless Blouse - eBay, Floral Midi Skirt - Thrifted, Tapestry Handbag - Thrifted)
I actually purchased lots of lovely vintage pieces for my eBay Shop (coming soon) and treated myself to a few 'essentials' (I really did need all these things). I've really wanted the New Look cardigan since it came instore, but had been looking around hoping to find a cheaper alternative. I failed, and gave in to temptation and bought it anyway.
I've really gotten into painting my nails recently (and have like a million pictures to prove it) and I've wanted the Barry M Nail Effects polish for ages, so I finally got around to buying it along with a few pretty coloured polishes to try with it (FYI: Boots are currently offering two Barry M polishes for £5 including Nail Effects).
I found this little beauty hiding amongst the books and bric a brac in a local charity shop, I grabbed it as soon as I saw it (mine!) and currently have it stacked on top of my tweed suitcase with my favourite shoes displayed across them.
More new rings. All from H&M except the scrabble ring that was from eBay. I really couldn't decide between the coral and the turquoise ring, so I had to get both, is that really bad? I think I may have an addiction to rings at the moment (eek!).
Last but certainly not least, as promised, my little teapot and crochet blanket, both donated to me by lovely family members. I've also finally found the perfect tea set. I can't wait to show it to you when I get around to taking some pretty pictures.
In conclusion, I've decided being sad either makes me really good a thrift shopping or I've had an incredibly lucky week with all my finds. I'll leave you to ponder over that one...
As usual, I hope you're all enjoying the week so far, only two days till the weekend!

p.s You may notice I've changed the design of my blog again for about the millionth time, but I'm really happy with it this time so I think I'll stick with it. What do you think?
p.p.s I'm selling lots of 'bundles' on eBay (handbags, scarfs, make-up, clothing all in lots) starting from just 99p. Worth a peek if you're looking for a super bargain.

Wow, you found some lovely things! My thrift store hunts are never successful :'(
I especially love the suitcase, the Primark satchel, the H&M lace blouse and the lovely rusty colour of the cardigan :)
I LOVE Barry M Nail Effects! Shame I didn't wait a bit though as that Boots offer would've saved me a couple of bob! :S x x

Cardi!! Ooh my knitwear senses are tingling. Is it still in store? If so, and if it's not too expensive, I'm totally going to buy it. Love rust coloured stuff at the moment.
And the suitcase - oh my god!!
Sorry you're feeling so rubbish at the moment hun. Here's hoping the weekend comes soon and is full of fun and frolics for you.

Great items, they look very lovely and delicate! I'm drawn to the blouse with the golden buttons... got a real thing for buttons! I know what you mean about being a shop-a-holic at times, I have my bursts; I can not buy anything for a while and then I'll buy a lot of things at once. The suitcase is a real gem of a find too!

Oh gosh I completely know what you mean. I realised yesterday that since January I've bought more than I probably bought in the whole of last year in an attempt to cheer myself up about some rubbish stuff going on in my life. But you've found some great pieces, love the cardi and suitcase in particular. And I hope everything gets better for you soon and that you don't feel so upset :) x
I hope this week is a whole lot better for you. That bag looks beautiful. As does the cardi and striped top combo :) As you said, there's nothing like a bit of retail therapy! Such a gorgeous suitcase and I adore all your rings <3 Aww, totally jealous of your teapot - so cute.
Awh suitcase is my favourite!
And that tea pot is adorable/
