January-Pre,Collars, shoulder and crochet






The joy of having Monday's off is the chance to pop into my new favourite local charity shop in Clapton, and hope for the best. Today was a good day. Here are a few pieces I picked up for the upcoming months and into the new!

This lovely crochet dress that has a lovely orange stripe at top and tail will be a lovely summer light dress for an upcoming trip and for a lovely skirt under all the woolly layers I seem to still have to wear. £7.

The creme long sleeved top will be warm and has lovely detail around the neck and leads to a lovely v onto the body. Snug and smooth. £3.

As it's still jumper time, this printed, roll neck with high shoulder action, and a strong print will be a regular comfortable fixture. £3.

Lastly this grey coat dress was taken out for a dance on Saturday, and took the night by storm, it has a great collar, buttons down the front and a stripe through it. It also has the up and coming big shoulder we will all be sporting soon. Worn with a belt, this dress means business. £5.

Christmas stripes



After a good few days of eating, dreaming and more eating, one has to venture out for new resources, luckily on route to my local shop the local charity shop was open and with 20% off, now that's Christmas. So I stumbled on my new striped Jaeger jumper that will keep me warm over the next few days. Lower Clapton Road, E5.

My new feet warmers-November 2011


Marrakech is like a shoppers paradise, and many person must go mad for the beautifully laid out shops and everything they see. I was well behaved and happy to just look. But on route to a garden, we found a lovely shop by the Jardin Majorelle. I could have bought everything, but came out with these, not the Moroccan iphone cover I wanted, but my new towel slippers that will keep me warm.£12.

I of course am still thinking about the cane loafers I left behind.

Boots




The boot is big at the moment for me, all colourful and strong. These canvas green boots are lovely, and after a fight with some shoelaces they now have a new look. Ebay, £5

The scarf


This all in one piece is cut from a skirt I had that was long, its pleats make it ruffled and also flat for whatever mood your in, and for comfort in the cold.
