Slightly Successful

Today's car boot sales weren't so successful.. The weather was warm but cloudy so I think they may have put some sellers off. I managed to get myself a few bargains.. 5 items for £5.. Really can't go wrong with that!

Today's finds include a faux fur gilet, 2 jumpers, a shirt and a jumpsuit! Brands including New Look, Next and Topshop!

There were some other items of clothing out there but after last weeks huge success I thought it best I didn't go overboard.. And luckily I wasn't given that opportunity with the lack of decent clothing sellers and clothing of my style.

Just Can't Beat It

Took my dog Toby to the vets today for a possible allergic as he's been itching a lot more than usual and no sign of fleas. They've put him on a course of Piraton to see if that will help. Only time will tell!

Other than that I've been trying to get into the programme 24 since completing Dexter but I can't say I'm enjoying it. It's not gripping me like Dexter or Breaking Bad.

Today I wore black skinny fit jeans originally from New Look but I got from the car boot for £1, flat shoes £4 from Primark and a white thin jumper £1 from the car boot.

Pick A Penny Or Two

So back to the drawing board... Applying for jobs again, let's hope I'll have better luck second time round!

I'm still continuing to add items daily to my Depop and have around 100 items currently still available and all at reasonably cheap prices, I'm also open to offers. Any money received for selling my items are being saved to buy a plane ticket to go see my best friend.. My boyfriend over in Abu Dhabi as I miss him A LOT! So every penny counts and is gratefully appreciated.

Today I wore black and white striped oversized tshirt originally from ASOS but I bought off Depop for £4, Missguided leggings £7.99 and white Vans (birthday present).




I'm in desperate need of more Missguided leggings but unfortunately they no longer sell them online! Hopefully I can hunt them down on Depop soon!

Squirtle

So it was my first and my last day on the new job! Disappointing but it's really not for me.. It's not the job they offered me in the interview so I better keep looking! I lasted no more than 3 hours in there. There's something else out there for me!

Today I wore black ribbed bodycon skirt £5 from New Look sale, grey/gold top £0.99 off eBay and black waterfall cardigan £8 from H&M.

The best part of my day was coming home to this... My new Squirtle phone case! Absolutely love it!

Going Nowhere

So today was supposed to me my first day at work... Turns out I couldn't even get there as my car wouldn't start this morning and I live out in the sticks! Typical!
So I'm now excited about tomorrow! Car is fixed and ready to go! Just want to get my foot in the door and start earning some money!

So instead of working I spent my day trying to complete the final series of Dexter... I have 4 more episodes to go!

Today I wore black ASOS cigarette trousers £1 from car boot, black flats £5 from Primark and grey H&M oversized jumper £1 from car boot.


I also want to share my animal print faux fur coat which was an absolute bargain of £3 from this weeks car boot!

Congested

Well it's the day before I'm due to start my new job and I've come down with cold/flu symptoms.. Blocked and congested sinuses! Typical! So I frantically popped out to the shop to buy some decongestants and olbas oil to help clear it all! Need to make a good impression on my first day!

Other than a trip to the shops I've sat and done absolutely nothing for the final time and it's been amazing! Watching 8 episodes of Dexter.. I'm now on the final season! I really do to want it to end! 


Today I wore disco leggings from Missguided - £7.99, boots from Forever 21 - £15 and striped jumper from Zara originally but paid 50p from the carboot.

Bargains Galore

Sorry for the lack of posting over the last few days, it's been very hectic with me being so close to starting my new job on Wednesday, making sure I'm fully prepared and set to work my ass off - need to look my best haha! 

Yesterday was an unbelievably good day for bargains! (See pics below) - all totalling less than £20! The top pic is the items I bought from the early morning car boot.. I get up bright and early at 6.15am to get there for 7am so I don't miss out on anything. The second pic is what I bought from the lunch time car boot.. That pic totals £7.50 for the lot! The lunchtime car boot opens to buyers at 1pm and I always try and get there for when they open the gates and the stampede of humans walk through the gates like a herd of cattle. 

All these bargains will be listed on my blog in later days.



Yesterday I wore distressed jeans $10 from New Zealand, black flats £5 from Primark and grey jumper £4 from car boot. Nice relaxed and comfortable look for a Sunday! 


Today I wore black disco leggings £7.99 from Missguided, white Vans (birthday present), denim shirt £2 from car boot and cream jumper £1 car boot.

Slip and Sliders

Today is my final free Friday before I start my new job on Wednesday so what better way to spend it than wandering the charity shops in a local village bargain hunting! I managed to find quite a few gems which you will see later in my blogs - as and when I where them :)

Because today I have to tell you about these beautiful leopard print pony fur sliders I bought off Depop! They arrived in the post yesterday and I have worn them ever since opening the package! They are absolutely stunning! Originally from Next.. I paid £15 inc p&p for them! 

I wore them today with my Missguided disco leggings - £7.99 and white distressed jumper original from H&M but I bought off Depop for £8 included p&p. 

If you're not on Depop already... Where have you been?! Get yourself on there! (Just don't go stealing the bargains I want to buy ;) )

Weird and Wonderful

What a strange day! The weather has been acting very odd! It's been extremely warm but weirdly hazy everywhere like a cloud of smog has overcome the area or what you'd imagine a minor sandstorm to be like. 

To make my day even stranger.. I sold one of my tshirts on Depop and planned to meet the girl in the village to save postage on an item which was literally going a few roads down. After meeting we realised we knew each other.. She's my boyfriends brothers girlfriend and we met once at a family meal! We were both mind blown at how small the world actually is and had a good catch up!

Today I wore my Missguided leggings - £7.99, oversized cowl neck jumper originally from Topshop but I got from the charity shop for £4 and my Forever 21 boots - £15.

Lazy and Creative

Well what a wonderfully relaxed day I have had! Haven't even left the house today and it's been lush! Been asked by my dad to create a website for his business so have spent the majority of my day playing around with that along with watching several episodes of Dexter! 

I decided to create my dad's website on wix.com as it's very simple and easy to use and allows you to do so much.. My boyfriend created his website using wix.com last year so I already knew how it all worked. Love the creative side of it!

For my lazy day I wore my Missguided disco pants - £7.99 off missguided.com, matched with my bargain ASOS oversized grey jumper - 50p from carboot and my stunning boots I bought during my time in New Zealand.

Zara Florals

Today has been a very dull day in terms of weather.. Very overcast but extremely humid.. With the odd ray of sun here and there (I'm hoping there will be a big thunderstorm this evening).

So I thought I'd brighten up my day my wearing these stunning floral trousers originally from Zara, however I got them from the carboot last weekend for £1, along with the black oversized tshirt originally from River Island but again I got it from last weeks carboot for 50p. Finishing the outfit off with black flats bought from Primark for £4. 

Complete outfit totalling £5.50.

Back From The Other-side Of The World

So.. It's been a very long time since my last post.. But I have a very valid reason! I went travelling around the beautiful country of New Zealand and had such an amazing time! But my feet are firmly back on UK soil and can continue with my blog so keep your eyes peeled!

Below are a few highlights from my trip:
