Shoe of the week
Sometimes we need to keep it simple with shoes, just let the colour pop and team them up with something monochrome, like the dress below. Both items are from Matalan, the dress I have, the shoes are yet to be purchased.

charity shops, chinese and meeting the fishes
I need to get organised, I really should have written, reviewed and posted this days ago! I had a really nice day last Friday in Preston which is about 15-20 miles from Blackpool. The main focus of the day was to take a browse round the charity shops with my friend Sylvia as we'd done a similar trip a couple of years ago to source jewellery to create my vintage wedding bouquet. here's one we made earlier Things have changed, I'm not sure if you've noticed with your local charity shops but a number of those found on the high street have really increased their prices. Now, I'm not saying that its not important to support the shops and help raise much-needed funds but at the end of the day, they are still selling secondhand goods so this should really be reflected in the price. I do think that they can put off potential customers. One shop actually had primark and Matalan products for sale at a higher price than they would have been brand...
