Vintage Fair

Hi, yesterday my uni held a vintage fair as part of freshers week.It was £1 to get in, but the prices of the clothes were really good. Nothing had an individual price, you just paid £15 per kilo of clothes. 

The fair was held in our student union which has a big dance floor area and when I went in I was just like 'eeeeee!' because the whole place was full of rails of clothes, like sooo much!

I was worried there wouldn't be much left because it was on 12-5pm but I only finished uni at 4 yesterday so I only went for the last hour. However it didn't matter because they'd obvi brought so much stock with them.

These pictures aren't really perfect, that's because as soon as I got home from the fair I pretty much dumped my stuff, changed my bags over and went back out to get the bus to Tom's. Before I left though I took a picture of what I bought so I could show him. So that's why the quality of pictures isn't great, and I only have one picture of each item. 

Also, I'm going to be putting some of this stuff onto my esty store so keep an eye out!

GLASTONBURY STYLE JUMPER/DRESS

CHRISTMAS WAISTCOAT

CHRISTMAS IMAGE CARDIGAN

Altogether this came to £37.50 which I know sounds like a lot, but for how many things I got I think it's a really good price. In the vintage shops I usually go to in Newcastle the knitted stuff would probably be about £10 each. I bought 5 knitted items, so that would already be £50 which is more than I spent. And I got other things on top of that.

My bag was so full, the woman had to really stuff everything in there and then she had to cable tie the handles to keep it together. When I was walking home I had to carry it in two arms like a big vintage baby!

Let me know what you think if what I got please :)

Thanks for reading x

Chunky t-shirt

Hi! I've been in uni for most of today, then I went to the vintage fair afterwards (I'll show pictures of what I got in my next post). It hasn't been too cold today, and I was pleased I didn't have to wear a proper coat. I'm also wearing one of my new tops that I got at Salvation Army yesterday, I'll do a post of everything I bought there soon, because I got so much and it's fab!

Fred Perry jacket - thrifted - £10.99

Stripey t-shirt - thrifted - £1.50

Jeggings - ebay - approx £3

Jelly sandals - Juju Jellies

Gold chain - church sale

I'm so pleased I bought this Fred Perry jacket, I wasn't sure at the time if I wanted to spend that much money but I've been wearing it so much! I also love my new top and it was such a bargain :)

FUZZY/WOOL T-SHIRT

This top is literally the best AND it was only £1.50! I got it from the salation army shop which is now my favourite. They even gave me a loyalty card. The top is a chunky velvety kind of wool, it's hard to explain. It's so soft to wear and really cosy too.

My Gran gave me the gold chain, she got it ages ago at a church sale.

My jeggings are Topshop, but I got them off eBay last summer for about £3. They're really comfy and tbf to Topshop they are actually good quality for once. I love the colour of them too.

My sandals are Juju Jellies brand. They're the see through glittery ones, without a chunky heel.

Thanks for reading, hope everyone's enjoying the start of Autumn :) x

Today I dressed a bit wrong for the weather, I was definitely too hot this morning /:

Cardigan - vintage fair

Dress - Oxfam boutique

Knitted leggings - Primark

Jelly sandals - Juju Jellies (website)

I got this dress at the Oxfam boutique in Durham. It's recycled from a man's shirt (the skirt bit is anyway). It's really cute and the gold buttons have little anchors on them. Plus the pocket is the perfect size for a phone.

This is my Joan Smith cardigan.I got it from the Newcastle vintage fair. It's brown dog tooth check.

Knitted leggings are perfect for Autumn, even if it was too hot for them today. Also JELLY SANDALS. That is all.

Freshers Fayre - BEST BITS

Hi!

Yesterday was the freshers fayre at uni, and I got so much free stuff I thought I'd show you some of the best bits. Obvi I had to wade through loads of flyers to get these snazzy prizes, though.

SPACE RAIDERS

Everyone loves free crisps, right! I also got loads of little sweets like lollies and miniature heroes and stuff but I'm ashamed to say I ate most of them as soon as I got home.

GEEK GLASSES

They even have a little bandage to hold them together, I think that's a cute touch.

SMIRNOFF SWEAT BAND

Perfect for when you've got the alcohol sweats. This'll probably come in handy for fancy dress or something at some point.

TANGO IPHONE CASE

This is so cute, it's a silicone one and it's so bright! 

SOUTHERN COMFORT NECKLACE

Cute bead necklace with Southern Comfort charms, I'll probably add this to some sort of costume too.

BANANA

A guy in a gorilla suit actually gave this to me! I didn't even see him do it to anyone else, he just came up to me doing his gorilla acting, and wouldn't let me leave without taking a banana. Bonus- it had a minion sticker on it.

SMIRNOFF PAINT TIN

This will come in handy as a pen pot if my landlord ever gets me a desk, or I could use it as my copper tin.

T-SHIRTS

I got 2 free t-shirts! It's handy to have stuff like this just for pyjamas, lazy days, or wearing under jumpers as a layer.

BEST THING EVER

I also got a wristband that let me get a FREE chicken burger and chips from this take-away place in town. The chicken from there is so nice! It's where I get my chicken box from after a night out. Me and Tom got our free food for lunch, but sadly I don't have a picture because we both scoffed it as soon as we got in. Nothing beats FREE food and a bit of criminal minds :)

I also won a free pass to Dirty Pop which is a night out at O2 in Newcastle :)

Thanks for reading! x

Dungarees - outfit post

Hi! Today me and Tom went to the freshers fair at uni to get loads of free stuff. I got so much! Some of it's pretty decent as well. Tomorrow I'll make a post to show you the best things I got. I haven't had time today because I've been at work.

Here is my outfit for today:

Dungarees - Rebel Rebel

Jumper - Vintage fair

Jelly Sandals - Juju Jellies (website)

Dungarees - approx £20

I got these dungarees a couple of years ago. They're quite a light coloured denim and are made of a slightly stretchy material which makes them comfy. I sewed the lace patch on myself.There was a mini pocket on top of the bigger pocket and I covered this with a piece of lace. Dungarees are so cute at the moment. I also have a denim pinafore dress with dungaree clips on the straps, but I have to keep stopping myself from buying more of the same thing!

Vintage pastel jumper - £10

This jumper was from Newcastle vintage fair. I had been looking for a cute pastel vintage jumper for ages and I thought this one was a really good price. I love the ones you see on tumblr and stuff that are all pastel colours and have a row of cats or something across the chest. Wearing a jumper helped make this outfit a bit warmer; it's been very drizzly here today but I still felt the need to wear shorts. Face/Palm.

Jelly Sandals

The only difference with my jelly sandals today is that my socks have a white toe, instead of being an all black pair. They also have a cute bit of glitter at the top so they matched my sandals! 

Watch - Hand me down

I accessorised with my chunky silver rolex-style watch. Sorry this picture isn't very clear /: This watch used to be my Mum's but she was getting rid of it, so I got to keep it. It doesn't tell the right time anymore but I don't care, most of my watches don't anyway.

Thanks for reading :) x

PuddyCat - outfit post

I was in uni this morning, and spent the rest of the day hanging around, I watched Mulan with my flat mates. That's one of my favorite Disney films. Other exciting moments have included: the trauma of cutting raw chicken and "the boilers broke, oh wait, it's fixed again".

T-shirt - Last Exit To Nowhere (website)

Skirt - H&M

Jelly sandals - Juju Jellies (website)

Bag - Thrifted

This top is from the coolest website, I found out about it through my Mum's boyfriend. It's called Last Exit To Nowhere and it sells clothes with logos on them from brands/businesses that are in films and books. That was an awful explanation. But for example my t-shirt is 'Atticus Finch, Attorney at Law' which is referencing 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. Atticus Finch is the dad in the book and he is a lawyer, so if it was real there would be a business with this name. There are tops for so many different films, it's worth a look. You'll probably only know what they are if you already know the film. Last Exit To Nowhere - shop.

My cat face skirt is from H&M and it's perfect. I got it this summer, so it might still be available in the shops, I'm not sure. It was about £14.99.  I love skater skirts, I need to get more, they're just the best shape ever! My bag is thrifted, and I'll show some more pictures of it later.

I discovered the other day that I didn't own a single pair of black tights, they had all slowly developed holes and gone to that great sock drawer in the sky. These tights are from Primark, they're the super cheap ones that you get in a pack of 3 and they say like 'oops, spare pair of tights' on the packet. They're also super thin, probably about 2 Denier or something. I'm not even going to say anything about my jelly sandals this time, people will be getting so sick of them. They're juju jellies, that's it.

Here's a close up of  my new bag. How cute is the catch! Love love love and only £3.99! It goes everywhere with me now.
