Aloha Lovlies!

So finally, after much searching I found a tartan scarf that I love to pieces and don't mind paying for. In fact, it is probably one of the most bargainous (and random!) things that I have bought. I've seen a couple of these scarfs in places such as H&M and they were around the £8 mark. I know it might sound tight, but I knew that I could find one somewhere cheaper so put off buying it.

The other day whilst on a spontaneous trip to Brighton, I was walking around Poundland when I saw this scarf. I didn't even realise Poundland sold scarfs etc. but clearly, it was my lucky day. It was labelled as a mens scarf but to be honest, it doesn't really look too masculine. They had a blue and a red version and I wish I'd picked up both, but in the flurry of exitement I didn't!

I wear this all the time now as it literally goes with everything! It's not the thickest of scarfs but for the price, it's perfect!

Aloha Lovelies! So I have been on a mission these past couple of weeks, collecting stock and setting up things for my new website, Rosy Jewellery. Now, in no way am I boasting or trying to get you all to buy from my website, I am merely sharing with you all, something that I love and have done! (That's the point of blogging eh?)

After seeing many peoples small independent jewellery websites I thought 'Why not start my own?!', so that's exactly what I did. I aim to sell fashionable jewellery and credit crunch busting prices! The website has only been running a couple of days but I thought I would share with you some of the jewellery I am selling.

So there we have it! My little project shared with you all, I hope you enjoy!

P.S Thank You SOOOOOOO much for making me reach 50+ followers, it means the world to me. I set up Love Vintage not even caring if one person read it, so to have 50 is just a dream come true! I love every single one of you and thanks for sticking with me. The best is yet to come.

 I have been really into layering now the weather has become a lot colder, and I like to do this by adding scarfs, cardis, hats etc. I also like wearing vibrant colours as I think they brighten up the day slightly! This outfit is a clash of the print in the skirt and the pattern of the scarf. Adding a leather jacket means it is quite casual but still looks good. To keep your legs super toasty and warm you could wear a pair of tan tights underneath black or knitted tights, and add boots and thick socks on the bottom.

Aloha Lovelies!  So this is not the normal type of post you'd expect to read on my blog, but I thought I would share with you all something that means a lot to me.

Positive Thinking.
Random as this might be, positive thinking is what I want to talk to you all about. In life if you can think positively, I really think it can help you overcome stress and negativity. Now, I am no psychologist or councillor , but over time, I have find found a few little tricks to helping me 'be happy' and stay positive.

It's very easy sometimes to get carried away in life's little stresses and annoyances, and that's why I think it is good to take even just a minute to realise all the positive things that have happened to you in your day. As much as I can I think to myself, 'name 3 positive things that have happened to you today'. They can be as little as 'I really enjoyed seeing the sunrise this morning' or 'That email I read really made me smile'. I know it might sound a bit silly, but I have found it really works after I have had a bit of a pants day and would like to cheer myself up.

Another thing you can do is take some time to pamper yourself. It doesn't have to be with a beauty product or some new make-up, it could be pampering yourself with time. Leaving yourself half and hour a day to just sit down and read a magazine or have a bath. Taking time to appreciate the smaller things in life can be good. You don't have to do much to give yourself some 'me time', just do what you enjoy best. Even smiling to yourself, randomly can make you feel a little happier.



I hope this brief little post of randomness as helped even one of you just to try thinking differently.

So this is my 'Super Speedy, Super Simple Salad'. It is a healthy, tasty dish that could be made for a quick lunch or a tasty tea. You can literally use what you have in, but this is what I used in mine...

1 Red/Yellow/Orange Pepper
2 Tomatoes
2 Caper-berries
Half an avocado
Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar

Method:
Add mixed salad to bowl.
Cut up a pepper into small batons and add.
Quarter tomatoes and add.
Half Caper-berries and add.
Cut avocado and spoon out insides. Cut and add to bowl.
Drizzle over a small amount of olive oil and then finally drizzle over a small amount of good quality Balsamic Vinegar.

Aloha Lovelies! So today I was having a little wonder around the charity shops (what a surprise!), when I came across this beautiful pleated midi skirt. Now, some of you might have realised that it is very similar to a pink pleated midi skirt that I have (and use in many blog posts!), and I thought this would be a great alternative for winter. The camera and poopy lighting make it look black, but it is in fact navy blue.

When it gets colder I tend to put leggings or tights under a midi or maxi skirt for a bit of added warmth. Also, layering different textures and patterns on the top can make a plain skirt more interesting

This skirt was the bargainous price of £1.99 and I cannot wait to start wearing it!

Aloha Lovlies! Long time no see, (again....oops sorry!). I promise there will be more regular blog posts coming up! Anyway, on with my October Favourites. October has gone so quickly and I cannot believe it's November already (whhhaatt?) I don't have too many favourites this month but that's probably a good thing as I always seem to ramble on in my favourites posts.
