new dress & DIY





I hope nobody minds that this is yet another charity shop purchase! Even though it'd be a struggle to find an exact copy I think the majority of the things I buy have similar items in other shops. I think that's part of the fun with a charity shop splurge, you never know what you're going to get, and you have the self satisfaction that you won't be seeing everyone and their grandmas wearing it haha. This dress was £2 and I know I will get so much wear out of it. I'll try to do a post when I jazz it up for a night out ;).

Apologies for the hat being a regular feature, my hair is getting on my nerves at the minute. I'm too lazy to do anything with it! 




Thought I'd pop this mini DIY on the end. I wanted to try something different with studs as there are so many fab posts on how to add them to denim and stuff. I'm sure I'm not the only one that got a mountain of socks for Christmas, so I'll definitely be going through them armed with studs ha.

Finallyyyy (promise this is it) thank you for the lovely little tweet from http://www.stephaniedreams.com/, I wondered why I had a few extra followers! What a sweetie!

  14. thankyouuu all for such lovely comments!

    @ Abi Tottenham-Smith - I go to any really, one week they'll be full of rubbish and others you can find loads :) it's good to try 'posh' areas too ha, generally the stuff is better quality x

    @ Lulu - yeah I doubt they will last long as I don't think knitwear is keen on studs haha! x
