Wednesday Fashion Focus
Sometimes I write about fashion to focus on particular trends that I am loving. Sometimes I write about fashion because I want to discuss the latest celebrity looks, and give you some ideas on how to get them. But sometimes I just want to write about pretty things I would love to add to my wardrobe, and this is one of those days. It seems that Wednesday may well be the new Friday when it comes to getting a great deal on fashion websites. Today Dorothy Perkins are offering some amazing picks with 24% off for the next 24 hours.

The dress I chose was the Florencia cotton/Silk dress which is still available in all…

A vintage Update
It seems like an age since I last wrote about my vintage and charity shops finds. A glimpse at one of my favourite vintage blogs – Porcelina’s World – this morning inspired me to share a few of my recent vintage and charity shop finds. Summer is a great time to find a vintage bargain. There are great car boot sales which are a good hunting ground. I found a great blue crimplene skirt for 50p, and a gothic black dress (pictured below) for just £2. Car boot sales allow you to barter and you can often make an offer if you find a few good items. We visit Wales…
