Milk anyone?

As mentioned in my previous post this afternoon I acquired a large collection of vintage advertisement milk bottles from the car boot today. Bottles which probably should have been returned to the milk man many moons ago have now become my vase of choice.  I have a couple of other bottles which I have picked up before for a few pounds however this morning I spotted a whole array within cardboard box this morning. On enquiring of the price i was told i could have the lot for £5 (18 bottles for £5 v Pedlar's price of £6.50 per bottle). Sold to the girl dressed in what could be construed as pyjamas.

Now the problem... what do i do with 18 milk bottles?

Pretty trio for my bedroom......

 Milk anyone?

Here is one other thing I acquired this morning, a plastic deer who left me particularly enamored for the princely sum of £1. Fun, kitsch and delightfully tacky.............

P.S. When i originally started this blog it was a make up blog, pure and simple. Times have changed and my enthusiasm has waned for the make up community somewhat, for numerous reasons. I have reached a different stage in my life and so although i will still make some sporadic make up posts for now this blog is taking a lifestyle focus,  i.e a mishmash of everything!

I know people will have initially followed this a make up blog, so if you no longer wish to follow i totally understand and thank you for the support you have shown in the past : )

Blonde on Blonde- OOTD

As predicted the blonde is back. I found the brown difficult to work with, I found it easily unflattering and the maintenance turned into a bit of a nightmare (there is a hell of a lot of bleach lurking under there). Lets just say bleach, brown and sun do not mix. In conclusion the blonde is back and i am much happier.

I had the most amazing time travelling around Eastern Europe however i will do a separate post on that for anybody that is interested!

I went a wedding reception last night so thought i would do a quick outfit post. I know the dress isn't to everybody's taste, my sister has expressed her disapproval on many occasions, however i personally love it. 

With vintage i always wonder who bought the dress originally and for what and how did it end up in a charity shop 50 years down the line? I found this when i was working away in Woodbridge and knew it had to be mine......

Vintage Leather Clutch- £1.50 Car boot sale

This morning was spent scuffing/car booting and culminated in the purchase of an amazing sequined dress for £5 and a box of vintage advertisement milk bottles (don't ask, it was a deal in my eyes at 8am). Hoping to get an early start in tomorrow and locate some more bargains.
