Magpie Monday!

I'm taking the plunge and joining Magpie Monday! 
 It didn't rain this Sunday, so i actually made it to the boot sale! To be quite honest i was quite disappointed and didn't end up coming away with a lot, luckily i picked up a few other nice bits throughout the week :)


I picked up this Vintage coat from a jumble sale for just 50p! One of the buttons is missing, however once replaced it will be keeping me warm throughout the Winter.


I picked up all this lot for £1.50 at a boot sale. The benefit eyeliner is brand new!

I love Ricky gervais but have never actually watched the office and at £1 i couldn't resist this box set. I also got both books for 50p each. I brought Stephen frys autobiography as well but i seem to have lost it within a day hmmm.


I got this lovely vintage red bag from a charity shop for £1.



I also picked up this lovely mirror yesterday for £1. It will replace the tiny compact I've been using to apply my make-up everyday!


My local charity shop seems to get a regular donation from Urban Outfitters, but as expected they sell out VERY quickly and i rarely get a look in. However, i did manage to find this belt left behind  for just £1.. i can't believe someone would pay £12 for it though!!


Lastly, i got these lovely padded hangers from a charity shop for £1.25.

I won't be able to make it to the boot sale this week but there is an auction Saturday and of course loads of charity shops to look through, so I'm hoping to find lots more bargains!!

Vintage Scarves

At the minute I've got a bit of an obsession with buying Vintage scarves. I rarely leave a charity shop without adding a new one to my collection. In the charity shops/boot sales near me the average price you'll pay for one is 50p-£1.50, which makes them ridiculously cheap and basically irresistible to buy.
What i like about them so much, is that even with a plain outfit a Vintage scarf can completely transform it and make a statement.



Vintage Scarves come in so many different colours and lovely patterns.
 



This one is by far my favourite! I love the colour, size and the beautiful floral pattern.






These smaller scarves also look really nice tied into your hair!



I'm hopefully going to get lots of new bits and bobs (including scarves of course) at the boot sale on Sunday, if it doesn't rain of course!!
