Primary Brights! Clash and Match your shoes and bag

I've been really excited by the bright popping colours I've seen in shop window displays recently-- Indigo, orange, canary yellow... paired with a pastel of the same palette it really blow away those winter cobwebs from your wardrobe.

What better accessory then, than these amazing bright tote bags, £13.99 from Ebay with Free postage. The shop is based in the UK as well, so no long waiting times!!! I particularly love the violet and Blue bags.

I was once wrongly under the impression that you had to match your shoes to your handbag - Yet with the variety of patterns and colours out there it would be a shame to limit yourself to just one! Whichever rule you adhere to though, you can afford to, for only £17.99 can get you a pair of hot heels!

I might indulge in a bag come next pay day! Watch this space!!

Perfect dress for spring (... psst, and also only £13.99)

Spotted this pop up on my Ebay feed and had to share this with you - how cute are these swing dresses! Particularly love the girliness of the pink one, but love the freshness of the lime.

I would pair these with some sandals, like these from marks and Spencer for £25, and a cute charm necklace, which would compliment this neckline wonderfully. 

Spring outfit - brogues, wet look and chains!

Loving my new chain necklace top from Everything5pounds, my Topshop satchel, and my teapcup scarf! Rocking with wet-look leggings and M&S footglove brogues (a bargain in the form of a freebie from a friend.) Nail paint is the Gel shine polish from Barry M.

I am really thrilled with my purchases from this website - Despite my initial scepticism, the clothes arrived well packages, labels on, and of good quality!

Plus, having seen their super cute dresses in the new arrivals section, I will feel confident buying from them again!

What I bought:

What I want to buy next:

Factory Outlet Piccadilly - Boohoo and Topshop items!

This place is probably a store you would dismiss day in day out if you are a regular in Manchester. It's a stone's throw from Piccadilly station approach, and looks like a shabby market-style shop. 

Inside, you'll find rail after rail on relatively well organised ex-Boohoo stock (labels cut out). It's not limited to that as I discovered, walking away happy with my £10 satchel for my work laptop, only to discover it was Topshop when I got it home!

I also bought a cute 20's style tea dress with orange floral print for £6 -found tiny tear along a seam which I stitched up as soon as I got home, and contemplating revamping the buttons for mother of pearl to give it a true 20's lift!

Go if you have time for a good rummage!

Good evening all-- Thrifty shopper again, this time with jewellery offerings and delights.

I've ordered one of these, and I am super excited for it to arrive it the post! 

Materials: Copper wire and moonstone - ok, so it doesn't sound glamorous. But what Minkykitten's store on Etsy has to offer is simplistic, effortless custom made jewellery. Etsy has some wonderful craft items on sale, though most of the time, Hand-made comes hand in hand (excuse the pun) with a high price.

Not in this case-- this beautiful ring cost ten British pounds, plus a minor postage fee, being shipped from London.

Marks and Spencer have been busy with their leading lady's campaign, promoting their spring summer collection.

I've spotted some really sweet dresses to share with you, that spans many of the season's trends.

First we've got this monochrome prom dress with a bit of broderie anglais and lace. it's simple yet elegant. I'd pair it with bright shoes and matching lipstick!

 I also love this daisy stripe tunic- effortless tailoring, rocking with sandals or heels.

Quite easily my favourite though is this little pastel tea dress 

Happy Shopping!
