My latest loot: October

A couple of purchases I have made recently that are part of  'Buy nothing new Month' this October that T & I have committed to!! We will be updating the blog with the things we find around the place (op shops, swap meets, ebay and the like) so check back to see our bargains!

Burberry vs Swap Meet

Burberry Fall RTW 2010

Real leather jacket (made in Italy) found at Karrinyup Swap Meet. It is going to be PERFECT for my Northern Hemisphere travels in November!

Acne chiffon printed blouse

Topshop blouse- it reminds me of the above blouse that I have been loving since I saw in on Caroline's mode, and this one was clearly much cheaper :)

Another random find from the swap meet (only $3!!)

If anyone Perth-ites haven't visited a nearby swap meet recently or EVER, then you should certainly remedy that situation quick smart! Karrinyup is the closest to me and is definitely worth the 6.30am start. It has everything: toys, books, clothes, shoes, electrical appliances, furniture! You have to have 'the eye of faith'* though...if you go there expecting junk, junk you will find! If you go there with a thrifty eye looking for a one off treasure, you have much better luck.

* The eye of faith is my little theory about why most people have no luck in op shops. You've gotta have faith! And yes, I do realise that the eye of faith is term usually applied to X Rays and CT scans, but... does that matter?
