Well the weather is ridiculously hot here in the north east! well its 20 degrees but for us that's really hot and the fact its horribly clammy makes the heat even worse. And when its not it usually rains through the night and we have thunder storms! and since its normally cold here i buy clothes for cold weather so when there's a heat wave i panic and usually think i have nothing to wear. And since it was really hot here today and i was heading off for a spot of retail therapy well charity shopping for me! i threw on this St Micheal 1960s shift dress which is something i never wear but all my other dresses have jackets or cap sleeves so this dress was my only option. But on the bright side its a cute summer dress!.. Enjoy.
spotty 1960s dress - £6 - St cuthberts hospice
1950s basket bag - around £25 - Durham vintage market

I also did a spot of charity shop shopping at Sunderland and it was only a short one! but i managed to pick up two great buys. I managed to get my hands on another amazing feather hat. Since they are so hard to come by and at the moment they are usually really expensive so i was really happy when i found this one for only £15!
1940s blue/purple feather hat £15 - age UK vintage
I also found this amazing pearl necklace at new look. Which i never usually shop but i decided to pop in and found a bargain for only £3! and it looks vintage

Awesome ensemble and finds!!! It's been smoking hot around these parts lately, so I can relate. We got up to at least 42C a couple of weekends ago, which has been the hottest so far this year, but for the most part, as is the norm for the Okanagan Valley in the summer, we're hanging out in the mid-30s.
