Thrift Store Finds Haul (pt.one)

Hello girls!

I hope you're all doing well & enjoying these sunny days of Spring!
Ughh...I caught a nasty cold (I don't know WHERE??) & I'm at home, all congested & with a painful swollen tonsils... I even took half a day off Saturday because I just wasn't feeling well & I couldn't work.
Yesterday my hubby took me to the mountains where his family has a little house for the vacations & yes, clean air & sun did manage to make me feel a bit better, but as soon as we returned to the polluted city, my troubles started again...
I don't know what I'm going to do ughhh I hate being sick!
I had big plans for this week, lots of things to do & now I find myself sitting on my couch, feeling so weak...
Luckily, I filmed a few vids for you guys this past week, so I'll be uploading these during the next couple of days!
As you probably already know, I'm a big fan of thrifting!
I got some amazing deals & great finds on my recent visit to the local thrift store, so I wanted to share this with you all :)
I hope you'll enjoy reading about my finds!
You can also watch a video where I'm showing you these goodies, just click the play button on the vid bellow:



And here are some pics of my finds:

How cute is the detail on the sleeves?

Size M - I'm going to wear this shirt unbuttoned, with a belt on top,
tied around my waist- boyfriend fit style inspired.

GAS blue jeans
shirt for only 1€.

Cotton shirt with stripes
by Woolrich brand.

This shirt will look great tucked into my skinny jeans!

This is a very unsual model of a white shirt, it has got
an oversized puffy sleeves!

...then it ties around the waist for the more fitted apparel.

This shirt too, was only 1€!
Let's go to accessories!
Here is what I got...

This is a wonderful clutch!
I got it for 1, or 2 €!!

Three belts, 1 € each.
These were brand new!

A brand new grey scarf,

Loving the details at the both sides of this
scarf. These look like grapes :)

I got something for my Mommy too ;)
She'll love it!

A long skirt that goes together with a blazer.

Isn't this the most amazing finds of all?
I got a brand new blazer & a skirt by a high end designer, Max Mara.
100% pure linen material, made in Italy.
Both for only 4€!!! (2 € each), whereas this would normally cost a couple of hundreds of euros!
This isn't my style exactly, it's very classic and the size is a bit bigger than mine, but I'm sure this will be a great gift for my Mum!
I just couldn't miss this deal!

So girls, as you could have noticed, I got some great deals & you'll surely understand when I say to you that I just couldn't stop myself from returning to the same thrift store the next week again!

STYLE: Casual Chic for Spring & One Last Winter Outfit!

Another fashion vid is up on my eipysgudps youtube channel!
Make sure to check it out here!

Today I'm again concentrating on creating different outfits based on some of my purchases from H&M.

I bought a lot of basic cotton tops and finally, I found the right colour of turtleneck that I was searching for the entire winter, this will go great with my D&G inspired dress (Nordic print) well...next winter! ;)

Here are my purchases:

A short sleeves white cotton top by H&M (L.O.G.G.)

Black cotton top by H&M
I <3 the pocket detail!

The same top, but in white colour!
This one is a size bigger than the black one.
I'm looking to acheive a very casual & slouchy look
with this top.

Another very similar top, just with a short sleeves & in
a very light grey colour.

Finally! A turtleneck in this colour is what I was
looking for during the winter months!
This too is by H&M.
And now, the outfits:

Outfit #1
Loving my cargo pants & the red belt!

 These three outfits were very similar, I was just changing the tops, footwear & accessories.
They all have this casual feel with a touch of chic to them, thanx to the selection of (may I say trendy?...) accessories.

These are definitely my favourite outfits for spring, when outside it can still be a bit chilly and especially when running earrands, when you just want to feel comfy, but still look cute & eye catching! :)


Outfit #4
 I styled one last winter outfit because I finally got my hands on the turtleneck I've been wanting for some time now!
I wore this outfit at my Christmas party (without the turtleneck, ahem!)
I will be wearing it again when the right season comes.
Bye, bye dull & long winter!!!
You're finally gone :)

STYLE: 3 Different Outfits! Affordable Fashion From H&M

My new fashion video is all about affordable fashion  from H&M store.
I styled 3 different outfits, based on my recent purchases; I got a few things at H&M as they were having an in-store promotions going on. All the items that I got were between 3-5 €, a pretty good price, I'd say.
There was only one thing I got at full price, and it's this '80. inspired, cropped top, that I already featured in my Fashion Diary video (watch here!)

I really liked this clothing item, so I got it at full price!
It's also something that is very trendy right now, I actually saw Annie from 90210 wearing this top in one of the episodes ;)
She looked adorable!

Here are the outfits that I styled...

Outfit #1
Camel colour cardigan, blue dress & black leggings are by H&M.
Boots: Vagabond

Another clothing item as seen on one of the 90210 characters!
This exact cardigan (or a VERY similar one) was wearing Adrianna,
in one of the 90210 episodes :)
She paired this with an electric blue top with ruffles!
Also adorable combination :)

Earrings: Handmade by MOI ;)
B-deas jewellery
www.b-deas.blogspot.com

Outfit #2
Top & jeggings are by H&M
Golden top that I'm wearing as a first layer is by Intimissimi.

A very unusual ring is a gift from my friend Liley.

When I'm wearing this ring, people are always staring at it
 & asking me about it!

I couldn't resist to this cropped top, '80. inspired.
Annie was wearing one just like this in one of the
recent 90210 episode!

Outfit #3
Total black.
Total H&M :)

I love the neckline on this top.
Also, loving the black rhinestones :)
This is a great clothing item for whenever you need to appear
very elegant, or for various special occasions.

These were the outfits that I put together inspired by my recent H&M haul ;)
