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

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 

Raindrops on Roses...

Not only did we fully embrace our British Heritage by re-visiting the sights of London and strolling round parks and wondering down mews soaking in the buzz of one of the best cities in the world, this Summer... WE. SHOPPED.

 

Here's one of my favourite outfits; featuring my favourite Moschino gold earrings, black crop top, blazer, Leopard print skirt and obligatory Saint Laurent bag.

 

Moschino Cheap&Chic earrings £80.00 (considered buying another pair-just in case)



I did discover an identical pair in Forever 21 for around £2.50!

Extremely poor picture quality- 'Cool-Girl Hoop Studs'
 

Therefore, I may bulk buy, smother myself in them and create this catwalk dream!...

 

 

When browsing around The Shop At Bluebird; my skirt was put to shame by this pair of Phillip Lim Leather Leopard print trousers. I wanted to walk out with them on, there and then.

Had to pay tribute to the beautiful Princess Diana on the anniversary of her tragic death. We came across the school that she used to take the princes to daily
 

Keep a look out for future posts of the fabulous finds from our shopping bonanza! ...

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:

Black & White vintage shoes

 

Enjoy!

Sunshine, champagne and Sequins...

Excuse me for being so stereotypically British, however, it's such a shame to not comment on (and photograph) the long stretch of beautiful weather that we have experienced in recent months. Not only did we make it through Glastonbury with the sun beating down, it continued throughout July, which included many Family Birthdays and friend's BBQs.

Naturally, I seized the opportunity to embrace my inner Greek Goddess; this included white, gold sequins, chignons, white nail varnish, orange Hermes loafers and, of course, a black feathered fan!

Sweat and Chic cannot co-exist

Versace belt getting yet another outing... (Margarita, the most important accessory!)

Hope you are having a wonderful time, whatever you're doing!

Donatella Does It Again

I'm a self-confessed Black&Gold whore, with a secret fetish for anything with a hint of 80's tack/ OTT, so I usually find myself drawn to Donatella and her Versace creations.

Having recently found this in a vintage store and rarely taken it off...

... I was delighted when I laid eyes on the cover of Style magazine. Medusa belts galore!

Just wanted to take a moment to pay homage to the glamour of the new Versus Versace J.W. Anderson Collection.

NEED. EVERY. PIECE. 

The omni-glamour, thigh-high splits, PVC and crop tops will forever hold a place in my heart- and my wardrobe. 

Oldie but Goodie

I am parting ways with my beloved Real Leather crocodile effect brief case style bag. Fabulous as it is I feel I need to make room for many new purchases!

 

Perfect for any glamourous business women out there!

 

 

Having doubts whilst posting this...

 

Goodbye my reptile roommate!

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.
