  Its been while since I posted - does not mean I haven't thrifted. I have. But today I felt like making a post again as I am thrilled with my haul. When I saw this dress, I was drawn to it because of green color ( in my Green period currently 😆). Next it felt so good to touch. 100% Cotton. Brand new, never warn. Only at home I looked it up from tag. Joules.  https://www.joules.com/about-us I never heard of brand but I am thrilled to learn that it is considered a very good British quality brand. Happy days to find this dress for fraction of their retail price. Bright red cube ring . No idea who retails it but I really like geometric form jewelry. It looks, modern, crisp clean lines and artsy at the same time.  This one is fabulous necklace by Next. I believe the discs may be colored coconut shell. Not sure. But the color and look is fabulously artsy - and that is the look I am always after. https://www.next.ie/en/shop/womens/jewellery Very long yellow faceted glass bead ...

Big thrifting haul from weekend "According to The Rolling Stones " book

Image
 I had so many cool finds this weekend that I need to divide this blog post to two. In addition what you see on this picture I also got 3 art pieces. I'll blog them separately. What got your attention when you looked at the photo. Red book? It got my attention all right. It is a large format hardcover book. Price brand new 30GBP. I got for 4 EUR. Weidenfeld & Nicolson Published. It has some stains on the side but I dont mind. It is the history of The Rolling Stones - according to the Rolling Stones themselves. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood have come together for this remarkable book. They have also opened up their personal and band archives to include many rare and intimate photographs that are interwoven with their great stories of forty years of making music together.  "All music is connected especially in a little place like England. Nothing comes from nothing at all" - Mick Jagger "Music is a language that doesn't speak in pa...

Why to spend more when you can spend less

  Here is the latest clothing I have picked up thrifting. Finding these and many more brand new with labels or with small ware clothing from charity shops has made me thinking that why should I go to shops and pay more for clothing when I can have fun "treasure hunting" and spend less. I think I've done buying from department stores or brand shops. Of course, I most likely need to go and buy when sudden need of something and under ware of course...but anything else, I've been able to find from charity shops. I was thinking to show me wearing these - but no, I tried and just struggled to take pictures of myself in front of the mirror.  Here they are in their full glory, without me ruining their fame moment, hahahaa. Top by SHEIN I was drawn to this top for the colorful boho pattern and unusual cut. It goes overhead but it has this wrap effect on front giving it a little bit of oriental kimono vibe. And as you can see it is longer on the back. Goes very well with jeans....
