Of course, Sods Law dictates that when you can't spend money, you can't stop seeing things that you want to spend money on. But, I was good and instead of buying new outfits that I definitely didn't need, I bought reasonably priced accessories that would change the look of garments that I already had, giving them a fresh feel.

Also this month I was lucky enough to win a competition this month on Facebook from one of my favourite new bands Clement Marfo & The Frontline, winning a signed T-shirt. It came in the post a few weeks ago, and I can't decide if I should wear it, or keep it safe until they are huge - an investment so to speak. Check out their hit, Mayhem ft Kano - it is one hell of a tune.
So what have you guys been spending your hard earned money on this month?
Hope you all had a fabulous weekend.

Fab buys, i <3 the vintage beaded collar xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, the beaded collar was a steal on ebay, the seller said it was from the 1940's and you can tell the quality in the beading and weight.

ReplyDeleteThanks Cherry
DeleteThey were both bargains, the silver clutch was just £7 in the sale. And the straw clutch was just £7.95 full price, they have several styles including an equally cute zebra print.

That collar is gorgeeeeouss! I like the clutch bags too, I've been looking for an envelope clutch bag.

Ebay baby! I have been after a collar for ages but the ones on offer in shops and online were expensive for what you got, so I took a punt and tried vintage on Ebay and there are so many.
DeleteGood time to go shopping so many sales on at the minute - so much temptation :)

Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog :) I too have loads of leather jackets but just couldn't resist the bargain and it's a bit smarter than all my others. I have the Barry M nail polish, it's one of my faves! Love the beaded collar it's so pretty :) xx
ReplyDeleteI do love Barry M polishes - always well priced and go on so nicely and I think that shade would look nice with the collar actually :)

The funny thing is a few months ago, I literally never wore nail polish because I do such a terrible job, getting the stuff everywhere. But, I've decided practice makes perfect, forcing myself to try a new shade every week :)

I love the accessories and the barry m nail polish. I like your attitude of buying accessories to add a different feel to clothes you alread have. I definitely need that mindset xx

My attitude isn't always that way but I do my best when the occasion calls for it. I have decided that May is going to be a mostly ebay shopping month - I'm just a day in and have found a couple of great bargains already :)
