Exam nerves and pressure = A shopping excuse for a man of leisure




Since the last time I blogged I have been crushed by the severe weight of countless unmerciful exams (A2 Biology, Chemistry and English Lit), but small charity shop sprees and 5 minute eBay scans have gone someway in curing me of this ailment.
1)Beige suede lace-ups, 50p. Salvation Army, Swindon


Just the kind I planned to buy for at least 100 times more from YMC (You Must Create). I have a big love for the local Salvation Army, they've served me well.

2)2nd pair of shoes:- Patent white TOPMAN 'Gladiator' sandals

These go someway in satisfying my previously mentioned love for the Raf Simons X Doc Martins collab. After a few funny looks out in town today I've realised they are the perfect summer sandal, blowing any ideas of the flip-flop clean outta the water. The patent leather is reminiscent of Jil Sander or Raf, just unusual enough to be cool without being odd.

3) This is not strictly clothing, but deer God it's brilliant. (See what I did there, more than just a pretty face this one )

This throw was also a Salvation Army find, tucked up at the back between the old prams and early 90s curtains. Reminds me of the one of those Disney feel-good cartoons in which a baby animal is lost and somehow finds its way home, usually with the help of a grumpy bear and a friendly pigeon (you know the general equation).
Also, it was just too good to pass up, what with the link to Buckstyle and the previously mentioned 'Bucky' necklace from Elsiebelle

I'm happy, and now, back to the revision.
peace out.
