Leicester

New Walk Museum and Gallery. For the 1st year of university I walked down the picteresque New Walk a walkway which links a part of leiceter to the town centre. I usually miss the museum and just go shopping, but I had more time in Leicester then usual. Their was also an exhibit on Picasso plates, but no pictures were allowed.


















Blunts is were I would go for cheap shoes. Now serious question Are these shoes vintage inspired or old ladies?

Leicester Lanes has lots of independent boutiques and I was happy to note many of them were there during my Uni days.

I go back to Leicester mainly for this shop, it used to be a market stall inside and I didnt know about until my final year at University, just as well as I would of been broke. I go back once a year, usually for my birthday but last year I was too broke to go up there.



I scored there were lots of things in my size, I left behind this 40s dress the silky material reminded of my dressing gown. The last time I went there was only a couple of things in my size but I didnt have the budget. So I went a little crazy with the credit.

My birthday dress well worth the money.

This my christmas dress, but Im not sure about the colour but I love this bust detail.




This dress is an amazing! Its an halterneck with an amazing mid century print, I would need to lose 4inch on the bust to do it up.

Autumn Finds

This is a filling post, while I try to get my camera to upload pictures.
All images credited to the sellers.

Full time Worker

My new job is now offering full time so instead of 24hrs its now 32. I kinda relieved it means that I no longer need to keep applying for second jobs and can finally go to the hairdressers and clear my debts in 6months.
So to celebrate I bought another Beswick pottery piece.
First piece from the dancing days collection only £5.05 condition unknown

Round and Round

The christmas cardigan and the 50s book, my only niggle is that why didn't they include the designer names for the dresses, I did notice one was a Swirl and that was only because two of them were on eBay the month before. I lost out in bidding.

I went to this last Sunday, didnt bring my camera but next time I will.

Handmade cermac was being sold by Andrea as was part of artist resident inside Valentines Mansion, showcasing the work that can be done on Redbridge arts and crafts courses.

What I found in the Library, I want a Tiara!

Would you eat it? They could of bagged it better for £13, I had to taste just to make sure its wasn't plain flour (its does clean you out), hope its the real deal as it is for bed bugs.

Dress of the Month & The Horror

Finally eBay UK has some decent 50s stuff! These horrockses are lovely but they are sure to sell for around the gulp £300 mark.

I have moved to my new place its 15 minutes further up the road and too it has its problems.
1) Beg bugs those black flecks on the mattress are not dirt its faeces. Of course the landlord tried to blame me suggesting I had bought them from my last place, as I am allergic to the bites that's unlikely. Don't like landlord No1
2) Last one in gets the least amount of cupboard space, have to buy more frequent because lack of space.Spending more money on food.
3) Place is a money pit, its seems the local area has a large population of gnat being bitten by them and beg bugs, equals consumption of lots of anti bites remedies and Rio Health Oil.
4) Landlord talks alot and does stuff early in the morning. Don't like landlord No2.
At the moment I am sleeping on the floor and washing my clothes every other, that place in Chadwell Heath is looking mightily nice.

Extra costs now hitting £70 excludes mattress encasement.
