I've Been Shopping #3

I seem to have acquired quite a few new bits and pieces over the past couple of weeks - I think it's because Summer 2012 has officially ended in the UK, now Autumn is well and truly on its way. I so much prefer Autumn dressing than Summer, I'm definitely more of a boots and fur kinda' girl than, hot pants and bikinis. I thought I'd share with you some bit's bought by me and my mum, she has a brilliant eye when it comes to looking for interesting pieces.

I first spotted these Massimo Dutti boots whilst in Paris last month, as it was boiling hot the thought of buying winter boots didn't really bode well with me. So I left them, but me being me, I couldn't stop thinking about them, so with my car boot earnings I ordered them and I absolutely adore them. I can't say I'm a massive shoe/boot person, so for me to be in love with a pair of shoes is big news. They literally go with everything - jeans, skirts, dresses. Just perfect for Autumn...

My mum found this leather bucket bag in a vintage shop last weekend. It's such an unusual shape. We both loved the fact it's so warn in, the leather looks so soft, making the bag feel quite relaxed. Like shoes, I'm also quite fussy with bags, I have about four that I switch between, and I rarely buy new ones, but this is fast becoming a new contender.

Also from the same vintage shop, which I'm yet to go to and I've only heard top notch things about is this old sailors pullover. If you've read a few of my other posts I mention a lot that I have a little obsession with anything nautical, so this literally is a dream item. If you look closely at the top right photo, you can see that it even still has he who ever it was that once owned this was name. Things like this I adore - there's nothing better than having clothes in your wardrobe with stories and memories behind them.

Have you guys found anything cool lately, or any great vintage/charity shops? I'd love to know...
