Charity Shop Treasure

I don't normally look in charity shops as I'm a sucker for brand new items, but I thought I'd give it a try. Today I browsed Oxfam in Hampstead as charity shops in more affluent areas tend to have better items for sale. There was a lovely Burberry coat but at £199 it was over my budget so I picked up this bargain YSL clutch bag. Ok, so it's meant to be a make-up bag but if you don't tell anyone I won't!


It cost just £5.99 and the leopard print logo is very on trend. I love the felt texture of the bag and it is big enough for all of my night out essentials. I will definitely check out charity shops more often now.

    Wow what a bargain! I lived in Hampstead for a year but didn't go to the charity shops that often and never found anything. I wish I went more often now! xx

    It's definitely worth looking in charity shops. I plan to try ones in Chelsea but apparently the ones out of London are even cheaper xx

    Love the blog :) I was on the look out for london bloggers and happened to come across someone who loves many of the same things as me!
    Although I have to say, charity shops are the BEST places ever...theres a few in Notting Hill that are ace :)
    (Im pretty new to london, just got a job as a nanny in Fulham, so I spend alot of time lonely shopping! Not at all good for my bank balance...)
