Little red

One of my new favourite wastes of time is strolling about the little town I’m saving up to buy in and pretending I already live there. This is Rothwell, a tiny town in Northamptonshire, and it’s so pretty. It’s also incredibly cheap to buy a house here so I’m on a money saving mission this summer.

I popped here on Sunday for a quick walk in the sunshine… on the way to the pub. I wore a little red dress I bought just after Christmas from Wowsville, a great little vintage shop in Milton Keynes. I love the colour, the white trim and the print. And my great little basket was a £3 bargain from a charity shop. They’re usually upwards of £20 so I was really happy with that. I just wish I’d brought better shoes for the weekend…

I’m wearing:

Dress – vintage, from Wowsville, Newport Pagnell, Milton Keynes

Leather jacket – Barney’s, Asos

Furry coat – second-hand, charity shop

Shoes – New Look

Basket – charity shop

Sunglasses – Asos

Necklace – Eclectic Eccentricity

Want: Lulu Guinness Annabelle

I’d been mulling the idea of treating myself to a luxury handbag as a congratulations for when my business has reached a certain level when I saw this sweet little Lulu Guinness. I had had my eye on a small black Mulberry Lily for £750 but when I saw Lulu Guinness’s much cheaper take on the little black bag I preferred it straight away.

I love the quilted lips, the shape and that this bag is much more similar to the classic Chanel jumbo style. And at £265 it’ll be far less financially painful. I live fairly close to Bicester Village so I’ll hunt down a decent discount when the time comes.
