I woke up at 5.30 this morning, to car boot sale it up with my friend Amelia.We had a car full of clothes, shoes and accessories that we both wanted to sell. The day started with a chilly and drizzly start but we ended up selling a fair bit and got rid of some bits and bobs that are just to much effort to put up on Ebay.


We also swapped quite a few items with eachother my camera just did not want to co-operate and pick up the pattern or colour of the purple floral topshop dress properly, fail. But it is really pretty I have to do a bit of a stitch up job on it as the side seam has all frayed, easy enough though! The blue 60's style shift is gorgeeeee, I fully intend wearing it with my hair up and in a bow and red lips, A la Zooey. The bright floral dress is vintage and has such a nice silhouette when it's on, the patterns a little woah but I kind of like that about it, it has that typical vintage pattern look. Apologies again for the not so brilliant quality It's all to do with the camera and when I tried to enlarge it just made it more blurry, not cool.

This was my only actual buy and it cost a WHOOPING £1.


This belt instantly got my attention because of the 'scout' vibe it sent out with the gold embossed emblems, it reminded me of a dark green scout jumper complete with badges that I stole off my brother when I was like 15, Man I loved that jumper!

Really fun and exciting illustrations.
They remind me of the art work from such cartoons as the Gruffaloo.
If you like cute and quirky I think you will be a fan of Karen Cheungs work.
YouTube makeup tutorial, This girl is a self confessed make-up and product junkie and loves to try new ranges and posts reviews/ products of the month and makeup how tos, Theres something I find really fascinating about her, you can sense her passion for her makeup craft!

 
All That Glitters Pick

A stunning 1920s style starlette head-band found on Etsy by the seller Giant Dwarf.
Would look so beautiful with long flowing wavy hair, that quaint essential screen siren look. Not only would I wear it just in the hair but I think it would also look just as great as a necklace type collar piece.


This post took stupidly long to format tonight, I Then also lost half of it and had to re-write and find links again. I blame my lack of sleep and my heavy eyelids, A deep bubbly bath is calling!
Hope you all had wonderful weekends!

I think I have had a bad past with car boot sales, the only ones I've ever been to have been full of old ladies selling ugly soft toys...

The Fleur de Lis belt is very cool...and so is the starry headband :)

Jaymie said...

minnja- thankyou love :)

Sara- I know it's so pretty, I really want it to wear with the upcoming colder months (yeah i actually picture wearing it in the decemeber with the festivities of christmas and hoping my hair is quite a bit longer by then, please!)
aaw thanks they are all inspiring images to me aswell.

Siobhan- Yeah they are something that can be totally hit or miss, there were only like 2 or 3 stalls with worth while stuff, some amazing antique and vintage rings just too expensive so I didn't spend to much time looking just to save myself the heartbreak!

Fashion Project- Thankyou so much that is very sweet, no problems your blog is rad :)

Hope you all have a lovely day
:)
Jaymie!
