Secondhand Sunday #6

Secondhand Sunday #6

Number six in my 'Secondhand Sunday' series... I think this is near my last of Secondhand Sunday posts as we're already in September now (What the heck... how did that happen?!) & car boots are a lot less frequent but I'll try to go to as many as possible! That aside, I found some great things yesterday. It was also our 4th year anniversary of living in France so we had dinner out in town to celebrate. Here are some photos from the day!

I got this peplum top for 2 euros. I love the cobalt blue colour & the peplum style is really flattering. It's something I'd wear on a night out with a black bodycon skirt along with some gold jewellery (like on pic).

I got this for 1 euro, I love layering rings at the moment and I'll be wearing this one along with my chunky silver rings from H&M!

More rings! Ok, so I didn't buy this at the car boot sale, but I thought I'd throw it into the post anyways. I bought this on Etsy.com (my new favourite Ebay). It's pretty weird...but that's why I love it.

I'm so chuffed to have got this maxi dress for just 2 euros! I have a similar one in grey which I did a post on, (click here to view post), these sort of dresses are so versatile and go with everything, it can be worn all year round which is great. I will be doing a post with this dress shortly including some missguided.co.uk items so stay tuned for that.

This belt was 2 euros, it looks great with some jeans & a striped tee and I plan on wearing it with my military-style jacket this winter.

This scarf was 1 euro, a similar print to the classic Alexander Mcqueen scarf, but don't think I could afford the price tag so that'll do!

 These beauties cost me 3 euros!! They look like something Cher from Clueless would wear but I just really love the sunflower print & luckily the suns still shining where I am and it's still OK to wear these.

We sat in the main square in town where it was reasonably busy (for a Sunday night in rural France) where we ate goats cheese crepes with honey & walnuts, salad and a cafe gourmand to share for after...which was delish! We went for a little wander afterwards to let our food go down, I felt so stuffed! Back to school tomorrow for me, where did the summer go?

Luckily I start at after lunchtime, Wednesday we finish at lunch and then just two full days so a pretty easy first week back! This year is going to be pretty stressful, it is my last year and all (woohoo!)...which means exams, work experience and applying to uni/schools...just thinking about it makes me nervous so I'm just going to take it each day as it comes.

I hope everyone's back to school/starting uni goes well & I will be back with some new posts soon, stay tuned!

Secondhand Sunday #5

Secondhand Sunday #5

I went to two car boot sales today which were sort of successful, but I couldn't get out early enough as I had to help my parents make beds in the guest rooms at our B&B as well as putting new towels in rooms etc, so we probably missed out on most of the good stuff at the car boots. That said, I managed to find a few good things! Here are some photos from the day and the bargains I found.

Floral shorts for 1 euro, win!

I'm so happy I got these beauties. They have studs on them which look really cool & grungy (plus easier as quite frankly I don't have the effort or motivation to put studs on myself) and they are brand new and I got them for 5 euros, can you tell how happy I am?!

Actually got this ages ago but thought I'd add it in. This isn't really for the weather we're having at the moment but I'm stocking up for winter already & this fair isle beauty that cost me 1 euro (!!!) will be on me every day (in between being washed obvs) with jeans boots and a lil beanie. I'm actually looking forward to winter so I can wear about 97% of my clothes again.

Ok, it needs to be ironed but other than that it looks really good on tucked into a skirt or with jeans with a leather jacket. 3 euros.

Rather basic but this glittery cardigan actually looks really good thrown on with my boyfriend jeans and the studded high tops mentioned above! 2 euros.

I wish I found this bum bag before I went to the festival in Spain this summer, but, better late than never, and I will definitely be wearing it next summer. Cost me 2 euros!

So, there you have it! Me filling my wardrobe up with more things I don't really need again, you can't beat a good bargain though! I will be doing my own car boot in September (second already this year!) and selling loads of my stuff. Having a good clear out does you good and I'm looking forward to receiving some $$$$$ (or euros in my case). I have 2 weeks, (2 weeks!!!) of holidays left, mustn't. panic. I feel like I should be doing loads with the time I have left but instead, I've chosen to sit and watch all the series of Skins back to front...ah well.

Secondhand Sunday #4

Secondhand Sunday #4

Ok, so technically it's Monday, but I have my excuses for this belated post. My weekend was a little bit busy which consisted of dining at the local farmers market (rosé at 1 euro, can't go wrong there), staying up till the early hours of the morning drinking champers & having a jam then laying by the pool & having a bonfire and roasting marshmallows, it's a hard life. I managed to squeeze in a bit of time today on here to show you lovely lot what I found this past Sunday at a recent 'vide grenier'. The heat was already at 30 degrees around 10 in the morning so as you can imagine my face was literally melting off. Anyway, here are some snaps from the day and what I found.

My mum bought me this little toile du jour vanity case for 2 euros.

Anything with jewels/sparkles on it & I'll have it, these two bracelets cost me a mere 4 euros, Nuff said.

I got this plain grey sweatshirt for 2 euros, obviously not something I will be wearing around this time of year, but I like to be prepared for the colder months. It's very 80s which I like and I styled it with my DM's, leggings, and chain which I purchased from past car boot sales.

I got these pearly beauties for 1,50. (more jewellery I don't need, ah well...)

I got this Jacqueline Riu frilled trench/mac for 10 euros. I think that's pretty reasonable considering it was in like brand new condition...I apologise for the rubbish photo, it was hard to get a decent photo of this coat without it looking creased!

 I got this jumper for 1 euro. My style can vary at times & I'm kind of liking the preppy look at the moment so I paired it with my stripy shirt to show how I'd wear it.

I hope you're all having lovely holidays & enjoying this scorching weather, I think we all deserve a good bit of sunshine! I'll be back soon with a makeup post & a lot more so make sure to follow on Bloglovin' or GFC and stay tuned.
