What I bought at the Big Bum Jumble

Hey folks,

Here are a few photos of what I bought at the Big Bum Jumble. I love every single item I bought, and I am enjoying wearing them very much, so thank you to whoever donated these lovely pieces, they are bringing me a lot of joy!

I saw this dress and knew I HAD to have it. It is just so cute! I haven't worn this yet, but am going to wear with some opaque tights and probably my brogues.

Red is one of my favourite colours, and I love this jacket. It will look perfect in the winter with a tube skirt and body. The label reads size 12, so it doesn't fasten, but it doesn't look too small at all. Yet more proof to try things on! In fact, I don't think I bought anything at the Big Bum Jumble that was in my size, I just tried everything on, and everything fitted perfectly.

What a beauty this top is! I love anything with a nautical theme, so this was quickly snapped up! The colours are perfect together and I totally adore the lovely anchors on it. Not too sure what I am going to wear this with though.. I think it will look good with some dark skinny jeans and flats. Alternatively some high waisted shorts or high waisted skirt maybe? What would you wear this with?

These are a couple of other things I picked up. I was looking for a red pair of flats and found these, they are hardly worn! I also love the vintage look of this bag, and it is such a handy size for an evening out. I got these 2 belts, too. The yellow one was part of Lauren's bat girl costume, so it has a little bit of history to it! I have already paired this with jeggings and a plain black long line t shirt and some matching yellow flats. The black one is real leather and will go with so many things in my wardrobe.

There will be a part 2 coming up. Other bits I have purchased and haven't got round to photographing yet. I also didn't want to overwhelm anyone with a 'photo overload'!

A 'Femmie' Inspired OOTD

This is what I wore yesterday, just to work. I was inspired by my good friend Femmie, who wore a similar outfit to the Big Bum Jumble on Saturday. I added the scarf,which kind of reminds of an 80s Sloaney, when I got home from work, and I love the way it looks with the horizontal stripes. (And I admit, I do love the 80s Sloaney look, can't wait to rock this up with a twin set and pearls!) I've got really into neck scarves recently. I think they add a different dimension to an outfit, and can also add a sometimes much needed colour splash to any outfit.

Scarf - Jumble
Top - TU @Sainsburys
Jeans - Evans
Brogues - Evans

I really love these brogues. I'm not sure why they are part of the summer range (I got them in the summer sale) as I think I will get a lot more wear out of them in the winter with cute dresses and tights. I have been wearing these in, and they are getting more and more comfortable with every wear. (Apologies for the dog foot in the photo, she kept following me!)

These photos show off the scarf in all its glory! It's very gold and I just love the Eiffel Tower on it! C'est tres chic! (albeit a little.. tacky?!)

PROMISE to do a Jumble haul soon!

Big Bum Jumble - What a day!

Hey everyone!

Saturday was the Big Bum Jumble! It was AMAZING. In fact, I cannot put into words what a fantastic event it was. I bought lots of brilliant clothes, including some lovely vintage pieces, some jeans for The Girlfriend, some accessories and a corset. (I will, of course, do another post on my items in the week.)

I think the best thing about the whole event was the atmosphere. Everyone was lovely, encouraging people to try things on and picking bits out for each other. I think this is what made the event so special... The overall positive 'feel' of the event and the welcoming feeling you got when you were there. I met so many lovely and genuine people, that I will no doubt be meeting again.

During the afternoon, there was a fashion show, with models showing off what was donated to the jumble. A group volunteered to do the catwalk, and in the group were myself ,Lauren of The Pocket Rocket Amy of Wolf Whistle and Charlotte of Obesity Timebomb to name but a few! It was so much fun!

This is me, walking the catwalk! (Thanks for taking the photos, Femmie!) I know you can't see my outfits very well, but I think I was walking a little too fast for Femmie to take any decent ones. You will be pleased to know that I purchased the red dress (it's polka dot!) in the 1st photo, and I also purchased the little blue jackety item in the 2nd.


As you can see from the photos, the event also had the Unskinny Bop DJs, which was also brilliant.


I would really like to say thank you and well done to Kay Hyatt, who was the principal organiser of the event. It was a great day, and something that will be talked about for years to come.

OOTD - Visiting friends

Just a very quick OOTD. This is what I wore to visit some friends in Southampton. We just went for a coffee and then afterwards, me and Goth Jen looked around a few shops. (I was good, I didn't buy anything, just some perfume!)





























Sandals - Primark
Skirt - H&M (normal range.. It's stretchy)
Shirt - New Look Inspire
Bag - Primark

As you can see, I have also changed my hair from black to red! This was quite a long process, but I used the extra strength colour remover, colour B4 I think it's called, from boots instead of bleach (which I would have done before) and this stuff is AMAZING. It changed my hair to a gingery brown colour, which I then coloured with an XXL Schwarzkopf colour. It changed it to quite a dark red, so 2 weeks later I used a Schwarzkopf XXL luminance colour.. And Voila! Red hair! I think I may put on another load of colour next time I get my hair cut, as I would still like it brighter.

Thanks to Kara for taking the photos.
