Recent Swag

Currently sat waiting for hair dye to sink in, I always manage to get it half way down my forehead, there's just not a glamorous way to diy hair dyeing is there?! Yesterday I nipped out early to Wood Green to pick up a few bits & bobs, inevitably I ended up spending a while wandering round Primark. It's almost impossible to come home without making a few purchases there, it's huge!! I picked out a couple of blazer/jackets, which were not only bargains (£7 & £10 respectively) but they're both my prints! I think these look far more expensive than they actually are-they're surprisingly well made & fit really well, aswell as the prints being pretty snazzy-if I do say so myself! The novelty of finding my prints in store, seeing people in them & of course wearing them myself still hasn't worn off, even after 3 years. These silky pajama paisley trews are mine too, think they're a bit too much for me to pull off though...

I also found these fabulous bejewelled clutches, couldn't believe the £10 price tag for all that embellishment. I love clutches but usually hang back from buying them as I don't trust myself with something I have to remember to keep hold of. Luckily for me these little gems have straps : ) I stood for a while arguing internally over which one to buy & trying to convince myself I didn't need both of them, but I just couldn't choose. Well for that price it would have been rude not to get both right?!

It wasn't until I got home I realised the blazers & the clutches coordinated pretty perfectly..

Also, I don't think I've mentioned the cushions you can just make out in these pics. They're another Istanbul bazaar purchase, hand woven kilim patched together, beautiful!! I had a pile I wanted to bring back, but Vural being the boring sensible one managed to somehow convince me I only needed 2. Definitely shouldn't have listened to him!
