It's been a long, long time since I last posted... In fact, it's almost been a whole month! I've been living in the stone ages without Internet at my house for all this time as we decided to switch Internet providers. I almost kissed the Virgin Media man when he arrived to set it up a few days ago! I've missed blogging terribly and I have so much to catch up on!

I decided to return to blogging with a charity shop haul post as a few days ago my housemate introduced me to the wonders of a high street just outside of Southampton city centre that is literally full to the brim with charity shop upon charity shop. I didn't expect to buy as much as I did, hence the reason why I've planned to do this haul in parts as I don't want to bore you. The green wool jacket is a little oversized and I'm planning to take out the shoulder pads so I do not resemble a rugby player when I'm wearing it. The colour is gorgeous and I don't tend to have much green in my wardrobe, so I'm embracing it this winter with the help of this vibrant coat.

I've been after a tan suede jacket for a couple of years ever since I modelled one for a local vintage store and fell in love with it. Unfortunately every single one I've came across in the past has been far too big, so I jumped at the chance when I saw this 100% real leather bomber jacket on the rail for under £10! I bought the boho style, purple dress with next summer in mind... particularly for Glastonbury Festival. Is it wrong I'm clothes shopping for Glastonbury Festival already?! I'm just so, so excited!

Do I even need to explain why I bought the wonderful dalmatian jumper? I don't think so. I went a tad shirt crazy as I found so many silk and velvet blouses that would be perfect in the winter to throw over some pleather leggings. The metallic purple one is my particular favourite as it's definitely my favourite colour for this season. This is only a smidgen of what I bought, so I'll be posting the rest of my charity shopping haul soon.

  25. You’ll end up buying more than what you planned – that’s what usually happens when you stumble upon a place that’s full of charity shops. Anyway, those stuff you found are exquisite! Those coats and jackets look good as new and can even come with a resale value, yet it didn’t even cost more than £10. Thanks for sharing your finds!
