Miniature Sale Haul

    I visited Manchester the other week to do some recordings for a YouTuber that is close to me and decided to pick up some things as the sales are in full force right now in the UK. I didn't pick up as many things as I'd wish due to lack of money at the moment, but I hope some of the items might appeal to you.



    The first thing I picked up was these book ends, in the next month or so I'll be moving house and starting college. I thought these quirky melted down vinyls would do wonders for the amount of new text books I'll have to use on a regular basis. 

    I picked these up from Urban Outfitters for a cheap £5, originally £10. Inside you get two melted down vinyls that are the exact same design as those on the box above. I've already tried these out with some books I already own and they work wonders. Would defiantly recommend picking these up before they go.


    As well as starting college soon, I'll also being going on a family honeymoon to a location in Spain for a week. I'm not a regular swimmer, and hardly visit foreign countries any more so buying a new bikini was a requirement. Priced at £12 from £26 this is a bargain you can't miss out on for Topshop clothing.

    This one has a really nice rose gold metal bar in the middle of the top half giving your boobs support (along with the halterneck strings) also making them look quite nice. The patter is very flattering to all body shapes, the soft tones would enhance to appearance of your tan as well.


    This is the last item I bought from Topshop, being roughly 5ft 9 its hard to find a decent dress from any shop that has the proportions to where the waist goes in, the length and the hips due to them being under average proportions. With Topshop providing an excellent 'Tall' section I jumped at the chance to purchase this in the sales.

    Again, being from the 'Tall' section, the prices of all clothing is slightly increased due to more material being used. This dress in particular was originally £38/£40, higher than the average Topshop dress. I was able to snatch this for £20 which is a bargain. Being light but thick material this dress is perfect for all seasons, I would purchase this again in separate colours, if available.

Wiping Away The Dust


    With vintage and retro objects surfacing I though it would only be right to participate and get something I've been longing for quite a few years. I made the step of ordering a vinyl player, I have a small collection of vinyl ranging from 'The War Of The Worlds' theme music to 'Simply Red's' album. A more modern vinyl which I still need to get my hands on is that by The 'Loose Tapestries', a band formulated from the back of Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy program on E4.


    I'm awaiting the arrival of my vinyl player and it shouldn't be long at all, once it has arrived I'm planning on making a post on how it looks, performs and the difference between turn tables and cd players we have in this day in age. The turn table I have purchased is from Ebay and I only payed including P&P around the £30 mark, also compared to the very first turn tables I have a more modern control for volume, speed and general functions below. Making it easier for me to work, and easier to fix if by chance it has any faults or develops them in the future.
