Hello all - hope you are well!
It is definitely nearly over for summer - it's getting colder and colder and I've even started getting back into the habit of taking a hot water bottle to bed every night! (damn you cold body!)
It's weird though, some days are super hot and some days its super cold that my outfits look rather ridiculous! Anyway, I wanted to show you this lovely little vintage shirt I picked up a while back for £1!
Oversized check shirt, carboot - £1
Topshop lace body, ebay - £5
Inverted Kora Cross Necklace, c/o Rock'n'Rose
Black beanie hat, carboot - 50p
Double platform studded suede creeper lookalikes, ebay - £19.99
American Apparel Riding pants, ebay - £35
I really love oversized check shirts - they are perfect with everything! Especially Levi's in the summer (miss you already summer!) I just teamed it with my beanie (I need to stop wearing this haha), riding pants and double platform faux creepers! I also wore a lace topshop body which you can really see, but it was a steal for like a fiver off ebay! I'm not a big fan of showing my stomach off all the time, so wearing the body underneath a crop top would look really good :-)
I'm updated the shop tomorrow - I'm scheduling the items as we speak. I'm sorry that theres only a handful of items (like 6 I think) but I have just been really busy planning London Fashion Week!
It's actually my first ever time going, and it's really exciting - theres lots of things I'm hoping to get to do and I was supposed to be down for 3 days - but it may be 4 days now! Let me know if you're going etc I'd love to meet you all!!! :-)
I also bought some business cards from moo.com - will show you all when they arrive! They were pretty rushed, I chose I think 4 different designs, a picture from my blog on the front and just info on the back!
Hope you are all well!

Firsty, the lighting today was weird. I didn't really have time to take all that many photos as I went off to go to starbucks and meet a friend! Weather was a little strange so I popped a leather jacket over the top, which made me look even more *gothical*
I was tempted to wear this with a beanie but I thought I'd do my hair up as I miss it! I also miss wearing red lipstick which I stopped doing for abit as whenever I'm out with James he hates it cause it a) gets everywhere and b) he can't kiss me, which is annoying if were just out and about together (which is uaually what I'm about to go and do after my outfit pics are takeen!)
Cross print skinny jeans, Missguided - £17.99
Oversized baggy white vest, H&M - £6
Cross arm cuff (adjustable), ebay - £1.84
Alexander Wang Kirsten Tote lookalike, ebay - £32
Inverted Kora Cross Necklace, c/o Rock'n'Rose
Faux Jeffrey Campbell Litas, ebay - £35
I absolutely fell in love with these Missguided jeans, and kept eyeing them up for months. They actually ended up coming down in price from £30 I think to £17.99! So I ordered them and they came super fast, and they fit like a dream! Nice and tight, and pulls you in everywhere :-)
I paired it with my oversized vest I got from H&M yesterday - I got it in a size 14 so it was nice and loose. The upper arm cuff with little crosses dangling down is so so pretty, and adjustable! It's only £1.84 which is insane. They also have other versions with spike on aswell.
Hope all is well with you guys! I'm spending the evening watching scary films with my little sister and studding a bunch of stuff (hopefully for a restock early next week!)

You know when you wanted something for ages when it was in store, and you finally get there and they have nothing left in your size at all, and you trapse ebay constantly looking to see if you get get it, but to no avail? Yeah, that was these pumps. I saw a similar pair from topshop, but they were wayyy to expensive, and then Primark, as the good old gem that it is, got lookalikeys in store for like £4 or something. I'm more of a heels kinda girl, we all know this. But these pumps are just so pretty and elegant, they're faux suede and even the inside is classy! They could definitely pass for zara, 100%. Well I couldn't find them and I forgot ever trying to get them.
Then my mum came home with them.
Brand new, never worn.
In my size.
For £1.50 from a carboot.
Yeah, I have had a pretty awful week, and my mum instantly cheered y up! Infact she had no idea I wanted these shoes, she just got them for me on a whim (and for £1.50 It wouldn't have been a disaster if I hadn't liked them!)
I love that my weeks finally started looking up! And thriftiness has once more prevailed to be the best thing in my life right now!
Lots of love for my mum!
Sorry it was a short one today guys - got tonnes of YWF stuff to get done.
Is there anything you guys have missed out on and been pining after?

These pictures were taken a few days ago, absolutely love love this jumper I got from H&M a while ago & I wear it over the top of pretty much everything!
I've really been trying to experiment with my style more and be a little more adventurous - getting more active on tumblr has definitely left me super inspired!

I went to Cleethorpes Pleasure Island today which my cousins and little sister which was really lovely. I'm very much an adrenaline junkie - I love the crazy scary rides and although it's more of a poor mans Alton Towers, I really really do love Pleasure Island as I've been coming here since I was little :-)
I really love getting into TV shows, and after having a crazy catchup session with Gossip Girl recently (all of season 3) I wanted to get back into something *new*
I've always wanted to get into Pretty Little Liars, and watched the first 3 episodes last night - I LOVED IT!!! I can't wait, and not just that but Lucy Hale is an absolute BABE which helps!
♥
Wow, I thought when summer came I would be a super big frequent blogger because I absolutely LOVE summer fashion - but turns out I've been a bad blogger once again!
I'm quite proud that I haven't missed a Thrifty Thursday yet (touch wood!)
H&M Faux leather kahki biker jacket, carboot - £3
H&M Blue vest dress (worn as top), H&M - £3.99
Vintage high waisted Levi shorts, ebay - £25
Alexander Wang Kirsten Tote lookalike, ebay - £32
Celine Lookalike Clog / Wooden Wedge platform, ebay - £30
I absolutely LOVE this faux leather biker jacket by H&M. I'm one of those people at carboots that rarely haggles, and especially when it's something like this jacket which is worth a million times more, I had to snap it up asap!
The khaki/olive colour is a hard colour to pair. I'm not gonna lie, after I brought it home I was a little like 'oh' when I realised my wardrobe didn't realy do anything for this!
I teamed it with my new H&M vest dress (my favourite style atm!) and the bright cobalt blue colour is sooooo pretty. It's only £3.99 and they have a turqouise colour - and they have 3 for 2 on tonnes of these 'basics' right now. Love love love h&m!
I also added my beanie cause ya know, it never leaves my head these days!
Any ideas on how to team this jacket with stuff would be muchos appreciated!
Have you been thrifting anything this week? :-)

Hey everyone! Hope you are well!
I just wanted to dedicate a whole post on these beautiful creepers which I finally decided to buy! After much 'uhming' and 'ahhing' over wether creepers were a little too overdone and grungey, I clicked the buy it now button ans they arrived just 2 days later!
Creepers have been super popular for ages now, and although I wanted the original TUK branded creepers, I thought £20 lookalikes off ebay were a little more realistic!
FAUX DOUBLE PLATFORM STUD CREEPERS, EBAY - £19.99
(other styes available HERE, HERE & HERE)
When choosing a pair, I thought the studded ones actually made them look 'realer'! They literally have tonnes and tonnes of different styles on ebay, but I thought black would be the safest to go with as it goes with everything :-)
I chose the 'double platform', for the pure reason I wanted the extra heaight! With double platform you can't get as any different designs, but they look much crazier haha! I don't think it's overly obvious that its a double platform (unless you compared it to single which I can't do obvs!)
They are definiely very comfortable, as for fit I'm not very good at guaging this, but they are fairly loose, so wear fairly thick socks! But otherwise they are true to size! They are not heavy like genuine creepers so are easy enough to walk around in :-)
I think they will look lovely teamed with shorts or riding pants and a nice knit beanie!
What do you think of Creepers? whcih colour should I get next? EEEE!
