Fatshion Faceoff - Thrifted Bag

This weeks challenge is a Thrifted bag, I used to have a fair few but they have all mostly fallen apart over the years, luckily I still have one which I love, it is possibly a bit 90's but I still love it, mainly because of its hint of tartan.

It is a pepe jeans branded bag made of a denim material with metal strap with tartan ribbon through it.

I have teamed it with my outfit from today which is High waisted blue leggings form Simply Be, I have 2 pairs of these now they are ace! My AX Paris jumper and my fabulous parka jacket c/o Fashion world, I have a lovely post coming over the weekend which has some Q&A from the lovely Claire Richardson of steps fame, and and outfit from her selection for Fashion world.

Now back to the bag, I love charity shops, I am lucky that I live in a very affluent town and my charity shops are pretty ace, one had a pair of Louboutin shoes a few weeks ago, I didn't dare go in and ask to see them as I was skint and would have wanted them!
But designer clothes and other items are not hard to come by, if you are willing to have a good dig around!

So what are you thrifted find, anything special??

Fatshion Faceoff - Brightly coloured Purse

So Fatshion Faceoff is here again, and this week meant I got to use my pretty handbag, the pick was a Bright coloured Purse it could be anything, bag, clutch tote ect.

I used to have the most amazing Cobalt Blue bag which came from Mango and I used it so so much it literally fell apart, but I have been quite boring since then and have chosen fairly basic black bags, but i did find the lovely bag in the below photos in the next sale about 4 months ago for £5 it is a gorgeous mustard yellow colour and worked really well with my Fabulous Ax Paris Fishy dress!

It has been rainy and muggy all day so I popped a cardi over the top today to pop out to the shops and have some lunch with my dad and Marc.

So here you have my version of a brightly coloured Purse.

The bag is very cute, I love the strap, I can have it long like this wrap it round my hand or, pull the two length so they are even like in the 3rd picture.

Now this next picture is of my Ron who kept staring at me then scratched my bum for a cuddle so picked him up, but he has become a lump! what do you think can he be a handbag pooch like the stars?
