Don't leave your life in the hands of a rock and roll band

Outfit:
Leopard print peter pan collar: River Island via Ebay
Nude patent bow loafers: Primark
Topshop rustic gold bangle: Gift
Red plastic watch: Toywatch

I wore this to work on Friday. I love the little peter pan collar on it although it does seem a little trend overload with an exposed zip and the fact it is leopard print. I have started to wear my hair like this when it's hot. I have far too much hair at the minute, it seems to have grown so much over night. There is nothing worse than having long hair in rush hour on the tube when everyone is hot and sweaty. My new pet hate is having other peoples hair stuck to my arm...

Look at me posting twice in one week eh? Not really much to report. I did a bootsale today and made a grand total £3 after we took the £11 out we paid for the car. Not the most successful one. I suppose it is still £3 I never had and I sold some more junk.

Not really doing much this weekend, off to a my mum's friends 40th birthday tonight. My dad and boyfriend have refused to go, anyone else’s other half unsociable? My boyfriend is extremely sociable with his friends but does not want to know when he won't know anyone. I have given up making him go anywhere! Working tomorrow, doing a bit of overtime but might be going out for an Indian afterwards which will be nice!

What does everyone else have planned for their weekend?

London Calling

I spent the day with my boyfriend on the Southbank yesterday visiting the Festival of Britain. Despite regularly taking the 25 minute train journey into the city, I had never really spent much time south of the river. My granddad is a back cabbie and being the staunch Eastender that he is (born in Shoreditch) he refuses to cross the river to go down "sarf". He states that they are not quite right. Obviously I don't share the same opinion :)

001. Basking in the sunshine! Unfortunately the seem on my lovely trousers split and I had to take them back to Next after work today :( As they were in the sale I just had to get my money back. The hunt on eBay starts!

002. We ventured to the Clink museum in the afternoon. It was really interesting but we were in and out within 20 minutes as it was tiny! The Clink used to be an old medieval prison and they have various torture devices on display. Ouch!

003. I never tire of seeing the sites in London.

004. We refuelled at Pizza Express for lunch. Not bad for 40p eh? I love vouchercodes!

005. I cannot for the life of me remember what this art sculpture was called but I particularly liked this poem. It was a selection of poems from immigrants all spoken aloud.

006. The House of Parliament and Mr Ben :)

007. I wanted to take this ice cream van home with me!

008. Welcome to the giants house!

009. I never even knew this existed! We wandered off to find a toilet and stumbled across this little gem of random shops and cafes. That is the one thing I adore about London, you never know where you might end up and there are so many treasures just waiting to be found.

Bootsale booty

A Theo Miles brown tweed blazer - £2
A yellow paper sun parasol - £1
A small Vogue mirror - 50p

I did yet another bootsale yesterday and managed to raise another £25. So that is £50 in our holiday spending money fund. I quite enjoy this bootsale lark!

I managed to have a little hunt around for myself and came away with some goodies! All for the pricely sum of £3.50. If anyone has any history on any of these items, please let me know!

I have no use whatsoever for the parasol as my dad very kindly pointed out when I showed him my "junk" but it looks fab in my bedroom and if we ever hit a heatwave I am well prepared!

I had seen the vogue mirrors on various blogs and did a little inward dance when I spotted this on the stall behind mine. When the lady said 50p I couldn't open my purse quick enough. The frame needs a rub down and banging together. I am going to bribe my dad with chocolate. Any idea of the date of this? I would love it if it is a good few years old!

The tweed jacket sold me with the elbow patches. I am going to wear it with jeans and roll the sleeves up. I've not have the chnace to google Theo Miles so am not sure on the brand as of yet.

One pet hate of the bootsale is, why do people come with wads of £20 notes? No I do not have change for that. Ugh.

Anyone else hit any bootsales over the weekend?
