Today's Treasures

So I've been feeling pretty crappy for the last few days with a cold, boo! But I managed to drag myself out to my favourite charity shop, under the theory that a little retail therapy cures everything (even though I should be saving money ahem...)

This little peplum number was new with tags but for some reason was sitting on the 75p rail, happy days! I love love love maroon, especially for Autumn and I think this top will be something I can pair with a lot of things; navy, black or beige jeans, black pencil skirt, cream chiffon skirt, black shorts etc etc ya get me? The possibilities are endless.

Now this beauty was definitely my fav buy of the day - £3.99 for a Topshop maxi. In exactly the same shade of maroon, this is gunna' be an Autumn staple for me. I love wearing maxi dresses casually during the day - to go shopping or pop into Uni - just throw on a jumper, maybe a little shirt collar underneath and bam, comfy easy casual wear. But then, you still have the option to pair it with some killer heels and jewellery for a glamourous evening outfit.  

Check out that sexy low scoop back, yummm.

I picked up this simple black shoulder bag for £2.99, as I'd managed to break the strap on my other one and had been nicking my Mum's all Summer! When I first picked it up I noticed straight away how beautifully soft it was. When I got home, I googled the label brand "JFW" (never heard of it?) and found out that they don't really exist anymore but all their bags were made of real leather - not bad for £2.99.

Picked up this candle for 95p. Can never have too many candles as far as I'm concerned.

Last but not least, I picked up this bathroom bin. Don't worry,  this is not what I usually pick up on my charity shop hauls, but as I'm moving into my new house next weekend, which before now didn't have any bins, I thought this would be a practical use of £1.50. (And if you look closely you can see my little top knot in the reflection!)
