My new favorite handbag

I was looking for a cheaper version of a dress for a friend and while doing that I found a handbag I instantly fell in love with. I knew I had to have it, but as I am not the person to easily buy new (as in not used) stuff and money was really tight, I made I deal with myself. I will sell some of my handbags in order to come up with the money for this new one. The one, not just any bag, amiright?
So, I sold both of my Restyle bags. I haven't even gotten to wear the striped one really. But I had gotten used to a bit bigger bags and they did not suit my needs anymore. I also sold two embossed skull bags I had gotten from one of those cheap UK sites. I sold them all in one evening and I had my money! Four for one, but the one!

Here it is: Banned Cameo Skull bag. And I could not be happier! I do not regret the deal at all. This bag is bigger and fulfills my needs exactly. It is also very pretty and much better quality than the Restyle ones. The fabric is not so fake and seems much more durable. Love it!

The summer of collecting stuff

So, we have a row of these secondhand shops called Humana. They have new merchandise days every month and I am in the habit of visiting them for...oh, over 9 years already. At first I was in high school still and skipped classes on those Monday mornings. Later on I arranged my things so I could still go. I think I have only missed about 5 times during these years, when I was abroad or something really important was happening in the same time.

They have really gotten their prices up during the last years, but I still manage to find something. I believe in second-hand shopping and I also just can not find interesting items in regular shops. And it would be too tiresome to visit all of them. So these Humana-trips are good ways to boost my wardrobe, actually all of my family's wardrobe. I try to look at every item and it's price in a way if it is okay for me to pay that amount for that certain item, I do not care that they are already used by someone. And I often find new or almost unused items too.

Sometimes there are many months in a row where I don't basically get anything, but this summer was a really good one, I got lots of items.

Guess now is the time to mention that I have got two daughters. So some of the items on these pictures are for them. They are not all black and goth like me, but I see no point in showing you the "regular" stuff they get.

So here is a dress, a shirt for the gym and a skirt for cycling. All black, I am boring that way.
I do not wear pants anywhere outside the gym, not even while cycling or during the coldest of winters. And as I am more of a mini or maxi girl, I need some reasonably long skirts for cycling to feel comfortable. I use my bicycle for transport, not for working out, so I like to stay chic on it.

And two pictures of stuff for my girls, lots of dresses, shirts and a skirt. All the items have different sizes, because I often buy a bit bigger items too - they grow up so fast, that when I see something pretty and reasonably priced, I cannot leave it in the store.
Oh, the black shirt on the second picture is for me, it has lace shoulders, really cute. It is rather cold at work, so I wear long-sleeved tops underneath my dresses. And shrugs and cardigans also.


The prices are different, I usually spend about 20-30 euros alltogether. In here the first two pictures are from one haul and the third from another.

I am definitely not a good photographer, but you get the idea. And I have lots and lots more to show you!
