I’ve been rather delayed getting my web hosting sorted, I had no idea it would be so complicated, time-consuming and to be honest rather painful…And I’ve still not got to the bottom what happened to my last blog post…that is still a real mystery! Anyway ‘back to business’ Straw Hats they are everywhere near me…and with the very warm and Read More
I just wonder whether the messages on a coaster and purse I spotted in a Charity Shop recently will in the future be made totally redundant? Maybe not in the sense of ‘Shop A Lot’ lady, as she can still shop a lot online, but for ‘one more shopping day till tomorrow’ that does not Read More
With the aftermath of the Royal wedding starting to ‘calm down’ it was very good news to see Stephanie the Charity Shop mannequin dressed ‘fit’ for a Royal event albeit with no shoes and er…no bag…oh well…not all the boxes can be ticked all of the time! Though with a very bright cerise feathered hat Read More
My natural nails have been suffering they peel, they crack and constantly break, they are weak and look well…not that ‘great’. I apply nail polish that ‘guarantees 7 day wear’ only to chip almost immediately, and rather fed up with this dilemma, I thought what about trying some false nails? Aka ‘falsies’, so that’s exactly what Read More
I can’t say I’m really the one for high heels or whether they’re ‘trending’ right now, but it’s not escaped my notice shoes and boots of very high heels have made a strong appearance in most of the Charity Shops near me. Also most of them are in very good condition probably been worn only a Read More
White shoes…are they a fashion ‘sin’? Well not according to the current fashion trend, I was more than amused to see them reappear again. Many years ago when I was a teenager it became ‘de rigueur’ to wear white boots! Unfortunately in my area they were called ‘S**g boots’ not very nice at all…and more Read More
I fear the Easter Bonnet will be definitely redundant this Easter due to the ever present grey clouds and constant drizzle…so yes I think it’s time to get those plastic rain bonnets out again! Though if you do manage to venture out you’ll be looking for a while…I have pictured just two I found. I Read More
In view of my recent post regarding the shutting down of many High Street shops, and not at all being entirely satisfied with Internet shopping (unbelievable I know…) I thought I’d check out one of the most ‘entertaining’ of catalogues that I have bought from in the past. It was ‘entertaining’ because it offered items that Read More
It’s clunky, chunky and may be a bit ‘funky’ it’s Junky Jewellery! And…there is no end of this stuff in the Charity Shops. So you’re in for a treat if you’re looking for junky jewellery as there’s piles and piles of it..in fact it might be more accurate to describe that there is mountains of Read More
It may be boring, it may be safe but I was heartily glad that my local Charity Shops are offering an array of items in my favourite ‘go to’ colour beige. I don’t know if it’s ‘in’ or ‘out’, I really don’t care as long as I can get ‘comfy’ in my ‘natural armour’. It’s Read More
Two bags, two different stories, one is cheap and one is well…a whopping £5000! (and this was for the mini size!). One is pictured in a high fashion magazine, the other I photographed in a local shop that also fixes phones (‘interesting’ combination..!) so I thought I’d have a little ‘fun’ and place the cheap Read More
It’s ‘all about’ the red, yep it’s a full ‘fashion alert’ though it won’t be the ‘new black’ it’s a colour that definitely stands out and makes a statement. It’s bold, courageous passionate and powerful. It it’s not easy to ignore (ask a bull…but that apparently is the movement not the colour…) anyway ‘reds the Read More
A fashion that ‘began’ in home wares with items such as, ‘Live, Love, Laugh,’ and ‘Home’ (which I’ve seen everywhere unfortunately…) has spread to bags in a ‘big way’, but instead of a bag of just saying ‘bag’, uplifting and rather ‘strange sayings’ have appeared on your humble functional every day shopper. So I didn’t Read More
Walking past a local hotel I noticed that the Wedding Fair was on again and as I was going past anyway, I thought why not? I went last year for the first time, though I can’t say it was extensive…it was ‘Bridal’ and only down the road. It was in a rather grand Hotel on the Read More
The other week it was Unicorns this week it’s pineapples, the exotic fruit seems to be everywhere from bags, phone cases, soft furnishings, lights you name it there’s probably a pineapple on it. So what’s this all about? Apparently it’s been a big trend in 2017 though I can’t say I’ve even noticed until this week…(maybe Read More
I guess it was the ‘wow’ factor that greeted me on my recent visit to my local Lidl. Who’d of thought that Supermodel stardom could be viewed whilst picking up my usual groceries? I have seen clothing at Lidl before, but to be honest never gave it a second glance, it was usually just vests Read More
