shop, til i take a drop.

So today, on my quest for some art materials for my textiles course, I had a peek into the vintage shops in the Boscombe/ Pokesdown area of Bournemouth. I really wasn't planning to buy anything... BUT I had a look , and I managed to get my paws on a smoking jacket and another red jacket for £38!





















I don't know what makes either jacket are, but I'm really pleased with them. ^^ The red jacket was actually £36, but the old lady couldn't see the price properly without her glasses on, and sold it to me for £26.. Call me dishonest, but why would I have corrected her if it saved me money? 






















(Above is the embroidery on the smoking jacket, and the interior of the red jacket. LUSH)



The smoking jacket was £12. TWELVE POUNDS. JHEEZE. It's beautiful. I will actually wear it out and about. It's divine. I need to get it cleaned though, the inside is not the prettiest. Apparently the jacket is from the 60's. Well that was what the lady in the shop said.


I'm actually really happy. I usually don't buy on impulse, but YOLO!

discovery of a masterpiece.

Hi! LOL, I didn't know what my first post should be, and I spent agers thinking of something, and I finally settled on FASHION.
Yes. FASHION.

Anybody that knows me will know that I LURVE clothes and shoes. I could live to shop. God help certain shops/ brands if I ever win the lottery. Actually serious.

So today whilst browsing the net I stumbled upon agi&sam.
