So here I am with, you've guessed it another Charity Shop Haul. I just can't stay away recently!
But when I've been finding such fab things, why would I want too?
I'll get cracking with one of the first things I brought this August and its this khaki green flowery jacket, originally from Henry Holland! I couldn't believe my luck, he is one of my favourite designers, so to find one of his jackets for a mere £8.99 was amazing.

Staying with jackets, I found this Topshop blazer, which looks like its only ever been worn once. It looks basically brand new, the pockets are still sewn together, so I imagine someone must have brought this for a specific outfit and only worn it once. I was so chuffed to get a Topshop blazer for £8.99 when they can retail from £38- £68 in stores.

I found this white doubled breasted skirt from Topshop, and this one still has the Topshop tag in, so it is literally brand new. I found it on the reduced rail for £1.70! Total steal considering it should have been £35 in store.

Another BRAND NEW Topshop garment that I found while on my travels was these green sequin hot pants. They're amazing. They are so sparkly and amazing, I can't wait to wear them out! On the Topshop label they were originally £40, but I only paid £4.50. I couldn't believe my eyes.

The last brand new garment I got was this gorgeous dress from Miss Selfridge, I have a 21st birthday party I'm going to coming up, so this dress will be perfect for that. Originally it was £45 and I got it for £6.50!

I found another pair of shorts, these ones are from Primark, they are denim and they also have the most gorgeous paisley tapestry pattern on them. In stores these might have been around £6-£10, but I got them for £2.50. I think this will be my new fab shorts for Autumn, and I'll probably pair them with black tights, some little ankle boots, and a slouchy cardigan.

Then the last clothing item I got was this lovely blue and white striped dress from Primark. All Summer I've been searching for a nautical looking dress and I found this one and I love it! It has gold buttons on the top, with a little collar and two pockets as well. In Primark it might have been around £10- £13, but I got it for £5.49.

Moving onto books and little knick knacks, I found this cute make-up bag with like a vintage globe print on for £1.50. Because you can never have enough make-up bags, right?

I found this beautiful Beatrix Potter's Tailor of Gloucester mouse figure, which is actually a money box, but I'm not going to use it as that, as I think it is far too pretty. The Tailor of Gloucester is one of my favourite Beatrix Potter books, and has some of my favourite artwork of hers in it, this mouse in the shoe being one of them. It came with the box and everything, and is in perfect condition. On the box it says that it is originally from Past Times and should have been £24.99, but I only paid £10. I'm plaining on collecting Beatrix Potter figures, I already have another Tailor of Gloucester mouse, and a Timmy Tiptoes Squirrel, so this has made a great addition to my now growing collection.
Then I got this rose tin for 50p, because I think pretty and vintage looking tins are a great way to store your make-up and other bits on your dressing table and in your room in general.
I then seem to have gone a little book mental, I brought 3 Cecelia Ahern books, two of which I do in fact have, but my copies of Where Rainbows End, and P.S I Love You are both totally wrecked, so I've had to throw them away, so I found new copies to have! Then I also got The Time of my Life, because I've never read it and Cecelia Ahern is one of my favourite authors.
I brought The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, because as a play I know its won loads of awards, so I thought I could read the book.
The Diary of Anne Frank is a book I have wanted to read for ages, but I've never got round to it, but now I finally have a copy so I know I will.
The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe is one of my favourite books, and I actually had this copy when I was little, but I seemed to have got rid of it, which was really sad as the cover is so pretty. So I was really chuffed when I found it for 50p.
Then finally I found this Worlds Best Fairy Tales book Volume 1. I actually already have Volume 2, so now I have both, and they are just classic fairy tales with lovely old fashioned pictures, which I love.

And that is all my recent Charity Shop finds, maybe I'll start doing monthly hauls? As recently I've been finding such fab things.
Have you found any hidden gems recently, let me know in the comments!
Cheerio!
