So, I had to share some of my buys with you...
Lovely vintage and vintage style blouses: my love of pale sugar pink remains, and is joined by lovely vintage details on collars and buttons:
Vintage, white blouses - ebay
Polka dot blouse - ebay
Scalloped blouse - New Look
I then went a bit mad with the way that New Look are doing really affordable and lovely 40s style clothes in burgundy, not to mention great hats - a great season for them, and especially cheap as I had a 20% off voucher and a credit note to spend. I also have always adored burgundy, and a renewed love for dresses and 40s shapes and details made this skirt and dress to good to refuse...
The blouse was another vintage ebay find... I'm just buying anything I can in this colour!
Next... I couldn't believe it when I found these amazing 20s, jazz style shoes on ebay and they had a £50 price tag on their unworn soles - and ribbons to tie them up! Why would you ever sell these?
And this lovely hat from New Look...
Finally, I found these lovely items at a charity shop for £2.50, and they look wonderful lit up on my windowsill! My cat seems to like them too...
So, with all this, there should be plenty of outfit posts coming up soon - I'm just completing a similar clear out in our lounge, and need to make space to do them!
P. S. Finally worked out how to get bigger photos up here - and hope you like the new layout!

Just found your blog- love it! The blouses are gorgeous. That colour is great for A/W- shame it would clash with my hair! Those glass ornaments look great x
Thank you! It's fairly new, but I am really enjoying it. I have up until recently had bright red hair, so I know what you mean - now it's brown, maybe that explains why I've had to rearrange my entire wardrobe! Hope you continue to enjoy the blog :)
Gorgeous finds, and I love your photos, too! Those NL shoes are amazing!
Thank you :) Glad you like them, I often envy your lovely wardrobe!
Am loving all these bargain shirts and the berry hues - lush, so aw11.

OMG! they're all so beautiful! :D I love those floaty blouses - so so so lovely! as is your blog which I just found! :) xo
Not only are your acquisitions phenomenal (as always) (ps, when you wake up and your shoes have walked off, you should probably blame me...) but your photographs are stunning! Lovely lighting and a lovely cat! *pets*
Wow thank you! It's too much fun playing with cameras, cats and clothes - the blog is a good excuse to pretend it's for a practical purpose ;)
Freckles is currently my computer background!
Aw! So cute! She is pleased :)
