What I bought today...

Just thought that I'd start this topic as nobody has [bothered?] to start it yet!

I was in one of my local charity shops today and bought these women's basket-weave, tassel loafers for only $8.50 AUD! Absolutely brill, to say the least! ;-) Now I can wear them with my new trousers from Sportscraft (see link below) and my Ben Sherman boating blazers! They were made by Australian shoe manufacturer Sandler, as part of their "Easy Steps" collection which still exists today. I think these shoes were an absolute find and would make excellent work and leisure (by that I mean dancing) shoes!

I also picked up two of my lay-aways. The first being two pairs of capris trousers - one pair in black and another in navy. Don't let the "capri" style fool you. They actually look like full-length trouser on me. I paid $105 AUD for each pair, instead of $150.

The second lay-away I picked up today was this lovely dress from Target that I purchased on sale a couple of months ago!

Happy shopping my Mod brothers and sisters! Look forward to reading and seeing what you've bought!

Ok, so this was technically yesterday, but I found the Trojan Ska box set in a local charity shop going for £2.99. When I got to the counter I found that CD3 was missing. They knocked a quid off for me, but I'm still missing a third of the set!!

Que Sera Sera!

£50 for your YMC! Damn. I paid full wack when they first came out in autumn last year. It just goes to show the art of waiting for the sales, mostly a gamble but sometimes pays off with great reward.

You won't be disappointed though, they're gorgeous.

Did a quick bit of shopping in the West End yesterday and picked up these:

Only £20 in Aldo as they were closing down.

And nabbed one of these for the Summer.

Not today but last Friday, to be accurate bought a new pair of Levis and picked up a couple of spear point shirts i had made from a shop in Fulham. Very happy with the shirts !  Just ordered a new pair of Ray-Bans, Round John Lennon style by all accounts just into the shops. Got lucky as i found em on a site a lot less expensive then the regular price !!

Karine and I went for a cruise on the scoots yesterday and ended up on Brick Lane. I am usually completely void of any desire to trawl the 'vintage' shops around there because most of it is, in recent experience, dross.Yesterday though for some reason I had the fire in my belly (could have been the curry from the night before?)

Picked up a light blue fly fronted Aquascutum short mac in what appeared to be in 'brand new' condition for £30.

Which was nice.
