Dedicated to the East End Thrift Store (and my sister!!)

I went down to London to celebrate my sister’s 30th birthday which was fantastic fun. Looking back over the photos I’ve realised how many things came from the East End Thrift Store, and indeed, how many things have that I’ve worn over the last ten months. I managed to do post break up shopping there at the very beginning of doing this blog, it provided me with a dress for an awards dinner and different outfits for parties so it has featured quite a lot.Plus, they do monthly evening parties when they get new stock in complete with free drinks.

Not the best picture but the only one taken, my purple shear dress (from EETS of course) was worn over jeans with boots, my sister's green flowery dress is also from there. (Not to forget my mum and other sister but neither was wearing anything second-hand!)

Pre-party preparation we went shopping in Angel for a party dress for Maria. Amongst the shops we went to was 'Dress for Less' details here which sells second-hand designer women's clothes and accessories. I have spent a fortune this month and promised myself that I'd buy nothing else so it wasn't much of a fun visit for me. I spent it trying not to notice how perfect the £250 Burberry leather jacket they had in stock was and ignoring some beautiful tan heels.

In the end she went for an EETS flowery dress.

I wore a jumpsuit, from Ebay, originally Zara.

Pictures of the band, and booze! Plus, you can never have too many limes for cocktails.
