Before all of the pretty (yet horrible) snow thats covered the UK this weekend, I managed to get my first proper charity shop haul done. It wasn't intentional, I was on the bus home and spotted this beauty from the bus, & luckily got off at the right time! It's by a brand I've never heard of (and can't properly read either), but it's from New York. It has a strong black leather strap with an adjustable buckle, and some amazing pocket space on the inside! And it cost me just £1. Yep. And look at the very, very similar ones above! I'm not entirely certain but i'm 99% sure this is vintage, and great quality vintage at that.
The perfect size bag for college, enough to fit a good book or two in! I also managed to pick up this beauty:
Now, I'm not a massive fan of using photos of myself on my blog, but the photos just didn't do the dress justice on a hanger. Also, I apologise for the awful lighting, I had to edit the photos lots to get them to remotely look okay, which has resulted in the dress looking blue, and me with a slight alien-like glow... It's not, it's black velvet, and I'm not an alien. It has a gorgeous, gold polka-dot silk bottom and bust trim, with matching buttons. Really comfy too, with the zip back and elasticated waist. The halter neck is detachable, but I thought it looked better up. It was really lovely actually, the woman who was on the tills & runs the shop explained that the lady who brought it in (that same day), explained that it was hers a good 30 or 40 years ago. I love it when amazing little finds have a nice story behind them. The dress, vintage, £3.Got lots of other bargains to update you all with - car boots & primark goodies! x
