New Shoes!! One of Life's many joys.

I bought new shoes! What was meant to be an innocent wander through Marks and Spencer turned into "If I see these in my size I will buy them." So I did! £15 in the sale. You can get yours here!







I also picked up a cheap pair of black lace up brogues from Primark. In all honesty the ones I really want are from Clarks, but are TOO expensive for me to justify at the moment! So for £12, I thought I could cope with these!

I'm crazy for these shoes! - Clarks Dollar Craze Shoes in Yellow

So it seems I am evolving into a shoe person. Colours and patterns that aren't the norm seem to catch my eye more than classical designs, which is why I fell in love with these beauties from Clarks (Ebay purchase). You can pick up a pair on buy in now or hawk some for a bit of a bargain! I got mine for £25.

I love the detail, the chunkiness, and mostly the colour! Of course if yellow isn't you thing or you aren't brave enough, go for navy or Mink - Just as beautiful and perhaps a little more functional.

Thrifty Shopper on Facebook, Pinterest, Google+...

Don't forget to follow my facebook page for sharing of instant bargains between blog posts, Pinterest for my delightful wanderings through beautiful images (mostly wedding related at the moment, but hey, I am getting married  so....) and also Google+!

My posts are a little less frequent thee days mainly because I am TRYING not to go to the shops and spend anything at all - all my spare income is going towards my wedding up until September time - then I am hitting the shops in NYC and Florida!!! Here's me looking *particularly* unfashionable in Islands of Adventure a couple of years ago, but hey, it was really hot!



Keep it cool, bargain hunters.

Summer Floral Pumps from H&M

I've been getting endless compliments today wearing my new bargain purchase from H&M, so I thought I would share them with you.

They are very eye-catching and comfortable - thought wouldn't advise wearing them if you plan on some hefty terrain-walking! At £7.99 they're a steal as well.

I wore them with Miss Selfridge Grey skinny jeans and a white floral lace detail tee from M&S.

British Wildlife Prints - Celebrate Nature!

So I'm obsessed with all things nature. It's great to see that bird print has been huge these past few seasons, and continues to grow strong. With brands like Burt's bees making us think about the human impact on nature, why can't we celebrate wildlife all together by wearing it (not literally of course!)

Fox Print
This cute dress is £24.99 and available on Ebay in sizes 8 -14 and is made by Jennifer Lilly, an Etsy designer (check out her shop, it's full of cute little printed tea dresses!)

I also found this shirt with a fox print shadow motif, which will cost you just over £5, shipped from China!


Badger/Swan printed T-shirt - Now I love these t-shirts, must haves in any nature lovers' wardrobe! Perhaps the Swan tee might also suit Bjork fans? These are £8 each from Ebay

What do you think of these cute nature-themed items?
