Antique Infatuation

Not much charity shopping went down today. More gin in beer gardens discussing the pros and cons of starting a Gossip Girl/Mean Girls Burn Book style blog... But we did go and browse the local antique shops in search of some vintage bargains.

It's been a while since I've been to the antique shop. I used to walk past it every day and now whenever I go back I'm always so amazed by the strange old stuff in it. These were some of my favourites today.

I need a pretty, free standing mirror

How cute is this shell encrusted jewellery box? I don't know who has £45 to spend on things like that, or a box containing taxidermic wildlife, or a £345 skull, but I could waste hours wandering around and looking at it, imagining who used to use it or where it was placed in their house.

Happy Thursday

Hi!
It's my first day off in so long and although I do have a massive backlog of coursework to be getting on with, that can do itself today.

I woke up early despite really wanting a lie-in, but that meant I could get all my editing work out of the way and now I'm off out to enjoy the sun!

First stop is Nero for a coffee and a catchup with Max, and then I want to browse some charity shops, preferably outside of Kingston, but probably not.

Hopefully it will be a success and later tonight I can post about all my beautiful new bargains!

What I'm wearing:

Cropped vest top - ASOS; Waist belt - Primark; Watch - Casio

Asymmetric chiffon skirt - Asda; Spike bangle - Forever 21
