Every day has a story

Today I didn't have much to do or any plans really. I needed to buy a few house bits and decided to look in a few fun shops too while I was out. 

Surprisingly, as I didn't really intend to have a shopping day, today has been a day of bargains! 

First stop: H&M. They had sale banners in the window. I was weak and was tempted in. I got this cute slogan vest for just £1 in the sale...

 

I love it, it's the same basic shape as another H&M vest I have from 2 summers ago which is my favourite shape ever for tops!

Inspired by being able to buy clothing for £1 I headed to primark next in the hopes that the bargains would continue. I love primark. I'm a little bit sad that nowadays there's less clothes on the floor and the prices have gone up by 2 or 3  pounds though. I found a basic vest (again for £1) which are always handy and was also tempted by the novelty of some bobbles. But, in my defence, 2 of my bobbles have snapped in the last week so I do need some more. 

 

By this point I was really feeling the bargains vibe and I had to continue. I went to this huge (for UK standards) charity shop which I usually forget to visit because it's a bit out of the middle of town. 

I got a silky topshop blouse which is a bit cropped so I thought it would look good with high waisted jeans/trousers. 

 

I also found a Barbie pencil tin (which I'm pretty sure I have actually owned before circa 1998) and a mini purse/bag which screams #pocahontas vibes. 

 

 Total price at the charity shop for blouse, tin and bag was just £3.

'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!

*Church sale finds*

Me and my Mum went to a church sale last Saturday and it was great! A proper classic church sale with properly bargain prices! Only 20p entry too ;)
It was even worth getting up early for when I had a hangover, plus I got a bacon sandwich and hash browns out of it as a reward for getting up early.

I got these great bargains! The dog is a proper vintage toy, probably older than me and he was 20p. 

The ugly cat make up bag is to replace my ugly floral make up bag which had loads of rips in it and my Mum despised, that was only 20p too.

The backpack was 50p.

This is Timothy -20p

I got this set of 4 flower rings for 10p

My mum got this oversized Zara clutch bag for 50p and it's suede on the other side

Definitely the best bargains I've found for a while, everything was so cheap >.<
