eBay Bargain Finds #4

1. GALAXY CAT TEE - £16.50
Love galaxy print, love cats, so this is just perfect!

2. ELEGANT LOAFERS - £28.38
Pretty much identical to the JC Elegant Stud loafers - but a fraction of the price!

3. ROSE IPHONE CASE - £1.89
My current phone case, it's soo pretty and cheap! Get all the colours and have a different one each day!

4. NAKED PALETTE 2 - £15.50
Please note this is a FAKE Urban Decay palette, I bought it thinking it was real but it seems the price is too good to be true. It is however a really good dupe, if you aren't a huge make-up fan but just want to get into experimenting with neutral colours, then this is for you! I used to not be an eyeshadow kinda gal, i'd stick to my black eyeliner and now that I look back at photos, I realise it usually looked way too OTT! Since watching YouTubers use lots of neutrals I have really fallen for this look. The shadows work, that's all that matters to me! And it saves having to buy lots of separate ones, this is compact and easy.

5. SANDISK HD CARD - £13.99
This is a bit of a random one, but I thought I would share it with you as it's such a bargain, especially for those with SLR cameras/people who make videos. When I bought my current camera, I needed a new memory card so just bought the cheapest one I saw from Currys which was a 4GB SD card, and it cost me about £12.99. I wanted to get into YouTube and making videos, but it turns out the card I had wasn't good enough and wouldn't let me film for more than 5 seconds! The 10 in the circle tells you what class it is, and you need at least a class 6 to film in HD. This card is suuuuper speedy and top of the range, lets you shoot in HD and is 16GB, and it only cost me £13.99 on eBay - just proves that shops like Currys/PC World are just ripping you off!

Hopefully you found this helpful!

Perfect Sunday


My perfect Sunday consists of this... getting up early to go to the bootsales, then eating a huge yummy dinner when we get home.

Trixy Vintage - my new shop!

I'm sooo sorry for the delay in blogging! I have been working super hard this week sorting out my new online shop! I will be selling lots of cute vintage pieces as well as bits from my personal wardrobe. I am sick to death of eBay, the fees are honestly ridiculous, I just refuse to use it any more. So I am taking my business elsewhere!

www.TRIXYVINTAGE.com

This is just the start of my little journey, I really hope I can get my shop established and once I finish university in two years, I plan to work on this shop full time. I am really really not a worker, i've always hated working and I can't see myself EVER getting a 9-5 job. I am not a morning person, I can't function before 10am so I sure as hell will not be getting the train into London at 7am every day especially since I hate 80% of the public. Sweaty trains, smelly armpits in your face, crying babies, ugh, I can't deal with that. Working from home is like my dream. And owning a vintage shop is another dream of mine. So put them together and you get my dream job. Hopefully this gets me somewhere in life!

Here's a preview of the current stock at Trixy Vintage!

**Today only (until 11:59pm London time) you can get 20% off by entering code LULU20. So you've got another couple of hours. I will be giving out lots of discount codes every now and then so stay tuned for that. I'll also probably sort out a code just for my blog followers, aren't you lucky! P.s. I ship worldwide!**
