Top picks: week 9

This week I'm looking at blazers. Though I do already have one, it's black velvet so it's more of a winter jacket. It would be great to have a summer one to just throw on over a dress - especially in the unpredictable weather we've been having lately.

I love lace but though it's been in the shops on and off for the last couple of years, I don't have any item of clothing with it. This cream lace blazer looks ideal to smarten up a dress or even a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I'm also smitten with this speech bubble jacket - so kitsch! I wish it came in another colour though - I'm not too much of a pastel pink girl. Mint would be great. 

I may have to actually purchase this leather jacket from Miss Selfridge though. I have never owned a proper leather jacket as I didn't have the confidence to pull one off. And this one is a very reasonable price. It would definitely toughen up my cutesy floral dresses that's for sure. I did just get paid so will have to see if I can find it in my size...

Do you have a summer jacket?

My week 16

This week appeared to drag a bit didn't it? Just me? I blame the rain. 

*My awesome cloud nails.

*Axl doing the creep. If you don't know what the creep is then educate yourself. Nicki Minaj makes a cameo in it! 

*1960s shoe on my shoe calendar. Is it a heel or is it a wedge?

*The view on my train journey to Sheffield to see my family.

I had a lovely weekend. I saw my parents, brother and grandma on Saturday which was great as I hadn't seen my mum for a month and a half and my dad for about 3 months. Went to meadow hall but didn't really buy anything. But, I did get my early birthday presents. I got my dad's professional camera that he doesn't use and an iPad 1 (I love my family's hand me downs)! My brother also gave me his old bamboo tablet that he doesn't use so I can get my drawings onto my laptop. Don't even care that I won't have anything to open on my birthday which isn't until June. So excited. I is spoiled.

Today, I planned on hitting 5 car boots to get some vintage stock for my shop. I ended up going to 6 and only 3 of them were open because of all the rain. It's really hard to find a decent car boot in Manchester. Is it just me? I prefer the ones in the countryside like the one near my family home. I've only been there once but I got some amazing things. Particularly the brooches. A cameo, hot air balloon, bicycle and some army style wings. All of those sold straight away and I haven't been able to find a car boot that great since. Still, I got a few bits today. Take a look:

Sorry for the bad photos - I just got some quick snaps before I went to the bf's house. Not a bad haul anyway I think.

How has your week been?
