'Small Change: The Newcastle Vintage Shop' Haul

Yesterday I went to Small Change vintage shop for the first time and it was lush! ^_^
My new favourite vintage shop! They have really low prices and so much stock to rummage through!
 Check them out on facebook: Small Change: The Newcastle Vintage Shop

What I bought:

Golfer print tapestry bag - £5

This is so cute, I love golf themed stuff, it reminds me of my Grandad.

Towel material jumper - £3

I'm wearing this today! So soft! There were loads of jumpers for £3 (long sleeved) and £2 (short sleeved) absolute bargain! 

Children's Christmas jumper - £1

This is the cutest thing! I had to get it, even though I'm not sure who's going to wear it. 

Children's knitted skirt - £1

Same with this little matching skirt! I thought this and the jumper would make such a cute little outfit together. 

Pink velvet top - £2

I can't wait to wear this with some high waisted denim shorts or mom jeans. I love the little tie at the bottom. 

Harley Davidson vest - £1

I love the studded detail on this! Small Change had a big selection of Harley Davidson tops, all £1 each!

Vintage shirt - £2

Thin summer vest. I'm going to wear this with high waisted denim shorts or black tube pants.

Bird patterned collar sweatshirt - £5

Small Change had a huge range of animal print sweatshirts all £5 each! I love this one because of the attached collar.

Total Spend: £20

Can't believe how much I got for my money when normally you would be paying £20 for just one vintage item! There's so much to look at too, me and my Mum spent 50 minutes there checking out all the stock!

Definitely worth a visit

Make sure you check out their vintage Barbies too, they'll bring back some memories!

90's Themed Birthday Party

It was my birthday in January but because I was on school placement every day I didn't have time to have a party with my friends, as well as seeing my family. So I had a belated party at the start of February (I'm sorry this post is late!)

It was a 90's themed fancy dress party so I told people that they could either come as a character from the 90's or just wear general 90's fashions. I even got some retro party snacks! Like those animal biscuits that come in the purple packet, cheese balls and those little savory snack sets that have the mini pretzels and fish crackers in them. I had a 90's playlist with all the classics on too!

I was a teenage mutant ninja turtle (Michelangelo - the orange one). I loved that programme when I was younger and he was always my favourite! I decided to make my own costume rather than buying an expensive one and I was pretty pleased with the result considering I'm not that great at sewing and I had to do it all my hand (I would love to have a sewing machine!).

Tights - Amazon

Glittery socks - Topshop /Cut-out boots - ebay

Method:

I based the costume on top of a pumpkin costume I already had and covered this in dark green material. Then I sewed on the yellow material for the tummy and stitched the pattern onto it using wool. For the shell on the back I stuffed the rim of a circular piece of material with scraps and sewed it up (like a pizza crust). Then I sewed that onto my back and stitched the pattern onto it in wool. My bandanna is just made out of a cut up orange vest.

I was really pleased with the whole night. I got to spend time with my flatmates who I'd hardly seen while I'd been on placement and two of my best friends form home came too which I loved! I was pleased that most people got into the spirit of fancy dress too!

Tom wore a 90's Middlesbrough footy top that he's had since he was a kid and somehow still fits him?

Mr motivator, Luigi, Princess Daisy, the toadstool guy, Baywatch

The only problem now is I don't know what to do for my 21st to beat this year's party!
