Carboot meets Catwalk

Strolling around the carboot on a sunny Sunday morning, I felt like I had stepped into the 'Trend-watch' pages of an editorial or looking at garments that had been tossed from the Autumn/ Winter 2013-14 catwalks. Tartan and oversized coats galore!




Tartan number reminiscent of Stella and Dolce

 



I'm thinking with statement earrings and skinny jeans- or even fitted hot pants a la Dolce!

Dolce & Gabbana

Dolce & Gabbana

Moschino

 

Coveting kilts, pleats and plaid

Either shortened and worn with classic black opaques, or kept in their magnificent midi state, these traditional Highland Kilts are bang on-trend...

Gucci

Jil Sander

Moschino



Over-sized coat

My bargain of the day- or should I say century- was this over-sized black Wool coat with faux fur collar for 70p. I repeat; Seventy Pence!!

Louis Vuitton

Stella McCartney



Ralph Lauren

 

Start as you mean to go on...


I am selling my vintage Wool black over-sized blazer with gold buttons here 

Zebra Crossing

I battled through a potentially painful champagne hangover to attend car boots on a Sunny Sunday morning; which proved to be worth it after spotting this little number...

Monochrome piece 

Wore it to London shopping a couple of days later, teamed with Moschino-esque gold costume jewellery, ankle boots and my favourite Saint Laurent tote. 

 



Portobello Road Market

 

 

“Women think of all colours except the absence of colour. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony.”  



If you're in the mood for monochrome, I have just the items for sale here:

Enjoy!

Spring in my step

Considered not venturing out treasure hunting this morning due to the 60mph winds and ferocious-looking clouds, but am I now glad I did! Whilst holding my pathetic excuse of an umbrella out in front of me to double as a shield, barely seeing anything or anyone in front of me, a ray of golden light caught my eye. No, it wasn't the sun- this is England in mid April, of course!

It was these ridiculously impractical, yet completely necessary, gold and black patent leather wedge heel peep toes. My inner Adriana (Sopranos style icon) possessed me as I struggled to remove my boot with one hand, whilst holding the umbrella in the other and balance on one foot to try them on.

Reminded me of...

Louboutin

Yves Saint Laurent

Perfect £2's worth of sunshine in my otherwise dull and damp Springtime Sunday Shenanigans!

Hope you've had a lovely weekend.
