Last of the Summer finds.


Hey lovelies


I'm in South Korea at the moment for the World Athletics Championship, for those of you that follow our blog or follow us on twitter, you'll know that I’m also an athlete. I'm currently in a place called Ulsan for our holding camp and I'll be leaving for Deagu on Wednesday where the Champs will be held. 

Anyway, I’ve been really impressed with the Korean stylistas, they're brilliantly fashion savvy and their looks range from the quirky vintage inspired, to the more understated polished designer chic (very Parisian).  I've been trying to hunt down places to get vintage clothes but without much luck; I’ve found a few places that sell vintage inspired pieces but nothing actually vintage!

Before I left for Korea, we were able to do a photo shoot.  As summer (of which we've had very little) is quickly coming to a close, we thought we'd mix the last of our summer finds with some the autumn pieces we've recently been sourcing  - my favourites are our ladylike sexy secretary blouses which we currently have in stock; from polka dots, pussy bows and bold multi coloured prints.

I will be uploading all these pieces and the rest of the collection over the next couple of days, so do take a look at our store at ASOS Marketplace - HERE.

Happy thrifting

My Golden Beauties


Hey lovelies
I adore my golden heels... who doesn't love shiny things?!  I’ve been obsessing about these Topshop beauties  for over a month but couldn’t find them anywhere. I scoured all my local Topshop's including their website but in the end I had no choice and headed up to Oxford Circus - I was so chuffed as i snapped up the last pair of size 5.  Aren't they lovely?!

a bit IMPRACTICAL!

Skirt, Zara // Jumper, Zara //  Bag, Vintage //  Shoes, Vintage// DIY Braclets

 Hey lovelies,

you'll know from my previous post that Jody and I had an impromptu shoot last week - we were supposed to be heading to East London but decided to take a few pics for our ASOS Marketplace store. Anyway, I wore this very impractical skirt while taking the photos, I eventually had to tuck it into the waist band to keep it from flying everywhere. I bought it from Zara early on in the year and adore it, but i find quite difficult to walk in as it tends to cling in all the wrong places! The jumper is also from Zara, I picked it up in the sale for something ridiculously cheap - I'm a big fan of pink, although I don't tend to wear pink very often.

The arm candy has actually become my obsession due to the AMAZING site - Honestly WTF , as I've said before they do the most ingenious DIY tutorials. I made this last week and you can see the braided hex nut bracelet I made a few weeks back HERE.


We are doing another shoot next weekend with some gorgeous vintage pieces, but for now check out the goodies with got in store HERE.

Happy thrifting

Love Big Shorts...


Hey Lovelies,

Jody and I had an impromptu photo shoot last Thursday - we were supposed to be heading to East London but had an hour or so to kill, so we took advantage of the gorgeous weather we've been having recently. Most of the pieces are from our LA trip, I can't believe we have any left!

I wasn't quite sure about pairing the big shorts with the white cotton sequined shirt or the multi coloured crocodile blouse, but they're actually my favourite looks... we unintentionally seem to be referencing Amelia Earhart, don't you think? 

I'll be uploading the looks later on today on our ASOS Marketplace store. We are planning a much bigger shoot soon, so watch this space.
Happy Thrifting
