The best five pounds ever spent-December 2011

These blue suede square toed stitched boots have been my heaven over the new year and given me the height I needed to tread through the dark streets. Shoeworld, Bethnal Green Road, E2, £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.

Golf

This Pringle jumper for the golf fan has it all, the lovely green and check and figures. Found in a South London charity shop, Penge, £6.

Boot bag

On a lovely day out with a friend I never see shopping for a bag for him, this little creature popped out and I just had to take it home. Everyone needs a good boot to carry them through winter. Beyond Retro, £10.
