A normal post! Buys of the week

So after all my previous essays, this is what I want the weekly blog to be like.  My buys of the week:

A blue Frank Usher vintage dress for £6.99 from St Gemma's in Leeds.  St Gemma's is a hospice which does amazing work.  They also have a fine array of charity shops across Leeds.  It is a little tight across the bust but the detail is so beautiful I had to have it!
I have been after a white tuxedo jacket for a while.  This is not quite what I wanted but for £8.00 it is an amazing summer jacket, its by Autograph for Marks and Spencer and looks unworn. 

This weeks Ebay purchase.  I like the Carrie skirt for Whistles but at £120 I feel like its a one season wonder and that everyone has it.  So I put 'pleated skirt' in Ebay and up popped this beauty.  For £3.20 I really don't need it to last more then a season and can give it to the charity shop for someone else to love when I am done with it.  I am wearing it with a black tshirt and chanel ballet shoes (an Ebay purchase for about £100)

Finally I got this coffee set for £4.99 at the local Help the Aged shop. I love the cups so much, little tulip numbers in nude! Vintage amazingness (in the background Liberty tea cosy - Liberty is my favourite shop ever)
