Electric Blue

Hello all!

So what did I buy at the Most Marvellous place to shop in my last post?? Well the first one, of course, was this beautiful, vintage handbag.
It is electric blue suede and has quite a lovely long shoulder strap which lets the bag sit happily at my hip. I am in love with it at the moment and keep wearing it with a monochrome outfit to gift it a lift. Its such a great highlight colour. For £7 in most marvellous, it had to be mine!

My next purchase was from a charity shop in Northampton, a long gold chain necklace with a large amber pendant, set in an elaborate gold casing.
Now Grace had bought me a beautiful amber bracelet for Christmas (which I must show you!) and since then I have loved the stone and its colour. So when I saw this necklace I simply had to have it, and it was only £1.99, boom.

 The amber colour of the necklace really pops against the blue suede, nice.

Now this purchase wasn’t from the charity shops in Northampton, but I ordered it from online when I got home. It is a lovely lacey electric blue dress from Miss Selfridge. As I said, loving the colour! I was planning on wearing it with the blue bag to an upcoming wedding! So when it arrived and fitted beautifully I was over the moon! Plus I got it on a discount so instead of paying £39 for it, I got it for £26 including delivery. Pretty happy with that! Im thinking of teaming it with nude heels and a nude belt. What do you think?

I hope you have enjoyed viewing my recent purchases and have had an amazing weekend.

Most Marvellous

 Hello everyone and welcome to the Most Marvellous Place To Shop!

So a couple of weekends ago now, me and Grace headed up to Northampton, where I used to go to uni. We went first off to see my old friends Jamie and Joey (Jamie’s the one in the photo below, Joey hates having his photo taken). The other thing we wanted to do was have fun in Most Marvellous! They stock items from different sellers, so from people who craft their own items, to vintage goods that are being sold on, such as furniture, clothing, kitchenware, old records… its amazing!

As you all know I am always found in the vintage clothing section!!

I honestly can never control myself when around cute things, especially adorable knitted ducks with hats!!

Crochet Top – Zara

Skater Skirt – River Island
Blazer – Zara
Necklace – New Look
Bag – Just found it in Most Marvellous!!

Yeah can you tell I was taken with the little suede electric blue handbag? Yeah so I might have bought it... 

It was a wonderful day out with my friends, we went for a bit of charity shopping after too and I bought some more goodies! I will post them on here at some point! I hope you have enjoyed my photos as much as the time we had taking them. I highly recommend a good visit to Most Marvellous as it is different every time and you never know what you’re gonna find in that Aladdin’s cave of vintage and craft!

Houghton House

 Dress - Amptill Antiques Emporium

Necklace - Susan Chaplain for Asos

Shoes - River Island

Coat - Zara

Fur Stole - H&M

So where am I? I'm at Houghton House in Amptill, just down the road from the Antiques Emporium actually! It used to be a huge and beautiful hunting lodge back in the 17th Century, that was until the owner died and the building was bought and dismantled. Its such a shame because what remains is so beautiful, the original house would have been outstanding. I thought that I would wear my new white dress, as a simple outfit, hopefully allowing my surroundings to stand out. I do love the simplicity of this dress, with its clean pleats and neat collar embroidery. I hope you love it too!

Purchases!

Soooo, what did I buy from Amptill Antiques Emporium?

Well first of all, while hunting amongst the rails of clothes Grace came across this little number:

A beautiful chiffon shift dress with an embroidered neckline, button hole fastening to the back and flute sleeves. I bought it without trying it on and yet it fits amazingly!! I have to wear a slip underneath it as its a liiiiittle see-through… but hey its worth it! I took it out for a mini shoot recently so I will post that as soon as I can! I bought it for £18, which I think it pretty good considering the amazing condition we found it in!

The next purchase was a deep purpley black faux fur stole, it is suede lined and sooooo soft.

I’m no good with labels so have no idea how old this is!…All I know is its sooo pretty! It is almost black when wearing it indoors, but when you go outside and the sun shines on it, you can see all the purpley tones!

I also got this beautiful little white handbag from my last outing, remember when I went to Harpenden? Bought this little beaut in a charity shop for £4.99 and couldn't resist a few little pics of it for you ;) It was in such great condition for a white bag! It hardly needed any cleaning at all, I LOVE IT.

Let me know what you think of my purchases! Do you like thrift shopping?
