It's been a while...

Hey!

So it's been a while since I last posted, but fear not, there are more bargain's to be had! It's been a very busy week for me as the end of term approached at an alarming rate, and I had to get myself orgainsed! I also published an article on my uni newspaper The Wessex Scene which was very exciting!

But it's so great to be home (journey home was a nightmare-I do not travel light) and typical me, i've already been searching for some vintage pieces! Found a really great denim shirt so will be shooting that soon, and lots more photoshoots coming up.

Keep your eye's peeled for more fabulous finds!

Grunge long sleeve top

Glam grunge is here!

If you've actually been keeping your eyes open for the last year, you'll be aware that the grunge/ heroin chic of the 90's has come back with full force, with chunky boots, baggy vest tops,  plaid shirts and leather bombarding the highstreet.  However the runways of 2014 gave a little twist to this trend by ditching the baggy over-sized plaid shirts (they get tied around your waist) and embracing the tight fitting and glamorous. 

This edgy top just screams 90's, and teamed with a plaid or leather skirt and my old favourite red lipstick, you could be a glam grunge fashionista in no time.

Oh and here's that 'shirt tied round the waist' look I mentioned

I have picked out some fantastic and unique pieces for my store, which I hope you guys will love as much I do! Just click on the Store tab, and get buying some fabulous vintage pieces.

So I managed to bag a photoshoot with the gorgeous Melinda Evans (@melinda_evans) who has the absolute highest honour of being our very first Throwaway Fashion model! After embarrassing myself by getting lost in my own city (standard) we managed to get some great shots! 

So enough rambling from me, take a look at the pics and get buying!

Rare Daisy Shirt

Is it possible to be in love with a shirt?

I think it is. This is my absolute favourite vintage piece, and I am soo tempted to just keep it for myself. However as I am a kind and generous human being i'm giving you the opportunity to give me cash for it! (what a saint!) But seriously, as spring comes hurtling along, this floral daisy print is absolutely adorable and would look perfect tucked into a pair of high waisted shorts and a dash of red lippy.

Vintage Tweed Blazer

TALLY HO!

Yes that's right, we've got a vintage Jaeger tweed blazer in stock at a bargain price! This fitted blazer is very high quality and looks fantastic with rolled up sleeves.  If you want to feel a bit posh then this is the blazer for you, and teaming it with this years biggest shoe trend the 'Chelsea Boot' you might just get asked to appear on Made in Chelsea. Maybe...

The Black 'Boyfriend' Coat

 So here is my first piece, the vintage black 'boyfriend' coat.

As we all know the 'boyfriend' coat was the only coat to have this winter and by the looks of things the trend doesn't seem to be stopping at spring! This coat is perfect for those chilly spring days, or a classy addition to any evening outfit.  I absolutely love the faux fur lining on the collar and lapel, which gives a luxury to this on trend piece. And of course it's black! Anyone can clearly see from looking into my colourless wardrobe that 'once you go black, you never go back'.
ha.

Plans Plans Plans!

Exciting day today, trawling shop after shop looking for some exciting vintage pieces. I love shopping way to much for someone who has no money.  Found some really unique and on trend pieces and i'm so excited to style and shoot them!
 Now my only obstacle is that all my model friends are either at uni or back home in Surrey, meaning I will have to wait until I go back home for Easter. Ain't nobody got time for that! In the mean time I may have to spam you all with more pics of me...
If you are a model near the Southampton or Surrey area contact me if you want to get involved.

I'll start off with my favourite, the Red Blazer. This little beauty cost me £4 from my local charity shop and has been a staple in my wardrobe ever since. As I am the queen of black clothing, this red blazer adds a chic burst of colour to any drab outfit and goes so well with a bit of red lippy. Fashionistas at London Fashion Week also saw red as they teamed an daring red jacket with black accessories creating a eye-catching contrast- check out their looks below the pics of me standing awkwardly (ha). 

This is another great vintage jacket, costing me only £7 from a vintage sale held at my uni. I love the strong structure of this jacket as well as the short crop, making it so versatile. Again as my wardrobe is mostly black, this creates a great monotone look, the gold stitching giving the outfit a luxe feel. When I first found this jacket, I wasn't quite sure about it but here's a tip people- IT'S ALL ABOUT STYLING. My motto is if you're unsure, buy it anyway! Maybe that's why i'm so poor...

My Fabulous Finds

Hey guys! 

Today I thought I'd get this blog started and give you a sneak peek into my wardrobe. As spring is clearly on its way (yay!) the theme for today is jackets and blazers, for when it's not warm enough for a T-shirt but way too warm for your huge woolly coat. I think I might make My Fabulous Finds
a reoccurring feature because damn that's a catchy title! I prefer to be behind the camera, so if I look weird and awkward in these photos that's because I was.
