THE PEACH VINTAGE JEANS

I can't believe I haven't done a post about these jeans yet.. These are my favourite vintage jeans in a washed out orange colour, so washed out they're more of a peachy pink now! ]
I got them last year in a sale at a vintage shop called POORBOY BOUTIQUE which is a lovely vintage shop in Hull. My particular jeans were only £3! probably seems more astounding then it actually is as luckily Hull is one of the cheapest place to live in the UK.

Anyway back to the jeans.. who needs me blabbing on about where I live!
They're mom/slouchy jeans so they're as comfy as all hell and because they are preloved they are all broken in and snuggly! I know mom/slouchy jeans are not very flattering on some figures... LIKE MINE! but who cares I love a good pair of mom jeans!


I've paired my fabulous peach jeans with my new TOPSHOP body with star nips which I caught in the sale for £3 nothing like this ever fits me right because of my stupid oddly sized boobs which NOBODY wants if any one else has this problem.. I feel ya sista! and am always open to any help which makes it not as bad as it is so feel free to comment with any help! 
I also have put in my YRU platform shoes which are gorgeous too, I just haven't got the gist of walking around on anything but totally flat ground yet!



Hope you enjoyed reading my short post feel free to comment and share! x

OO and PS the necklace and the belt are also from topshop! <3

MARKET DAY! am I the bargain queen?

Walton Street Market Hull is a market near KC stadium in Hull which I have been going to since I was younger with my nan. I haven't been in years because of an incident with my nan when we went (she was almost pick pocketed) but decided to give it another go today and I was SO glad I did. 
I spent £20 in all and everyone knows how cheap Hull is for everything anyway but today topped the bill!

I firstly walked past a stall where a man was selling some AMAZING shoes, all £5!! the shoes included things by brands such as RocketDog, Steve Madden, Windsor Smith and JuJu and YRU!! As you know from other posts I LOVE my YRU platform sandals, and when I saw these in my size for only £5 each I had too they're to die for! How gorgeous are they!? I couldn't say no,  I will be going back next week to see if he has anymore bargains like that!



After being SO excited with this purchase I knew I was on a role so I had a good gander through all the sale rails!


More stuff I bought throughout my day at Walton Street Market was this green crochet halter neck dress only £1! ONE POUND! so I had too! I got many £1 specials as well today such as these amazing things...

                 

Pink and purple sparkly 90's vest... £1!!


Gold and orange/red halter neck top LOVE... £1!!



Pink and orange stripe crop top.... £1!!!



Hand painted Catrina Hull Artist tshirt, unsigned... £1!!! (BARGAIN)



Pink tie back and neck top only £1!!!! 

and finally...


this gorg 90's lilac snake print dress! amazing! only £1!!!

I also bought my mum a top that cost £2 so ALL that for only £20 I was astounded and can't wait to go back next week, so glad I got over my pick pocketing fear and get up and go to Walton Street Market!

I hope to see you all there next Wednesday 8-2! (bargain central)

Thanks for reading and if you have got any bargains recently please comment on what you've got I am ALWAYS happy to read about good bargains! #BARGAINQUEEN!

Outfit of the day, handmade clothing all the way!

As I study fashion (even though now its fashion comms but it was design) I thought i'd put my trade to good use. I've been looking into buying some flares in velvet but people were selling for £30 and at the moment I just couldn't afford it. A jobless fashion shopping addicted student is not the best thing to be when you have more time on your hands than a watch. An impulse buy at my local haberdashery shop (BOYES) of 3M of dark purple crushed velvet fabric sparked up my brain as to creating my OWN flares!
After tracing my other flares to make a quick pattern I was on my way! How astounded was I when they came out as good as they did is unreal. (in my opinion nothing I do comes out as good as I thought) 


With the amount of time I have on my hands at the moment as well I decided to make two matching tops..TWO! 





I made both a point up halter-neck tie back and a elasticated boob-tube (both beginner garments I know but simple but effective is the way forward) 

I am thinking of making these sets for sale and selling them on my DEPOP account (USERNAME: annahodgson) I am just trying to perfect the pattern. 
I am very happy with my garment creations today I will be making more soon and putting them on my blog too! 

Thanks for reading dolls!
