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

Just a very quick one! Sorry for the lack of posts recently, doing art graphics AND photography at A2 is absolutely killer. Deadlines are tomorrow! Got a lot to get doing tonight, which is probably why I should stop looking around on look.co.uk on my '5 minute break' (it's turned into at least an hour and half), but I just saw this and it's too good not to share. Guess which S/S12 collection this is from? Primark. Seriously. LOOK AT THOSE WEDGES. Primark. PRIMARK?! Can't wait to get back shopping again.Check out the full collection HERE.I'll update with you with some of the new illustration i've done recently for my final piece (it's floor to ceiling... bit of a joke to carry around) and I've got some treats to share with you all, plus a little giveaway! As soon as these horrible deadlines are gone, I'll get back on it I promise. x
