Bowler Hat

I've fancied a wee bowler hat for quite some time but unfortunately have had some trouble finding one that fits due to my head being the size of a four year old child. I searched all the high street shops with no success. So I brought my search to the internet and finally found a tiny sized hat after typing in 'child's fancy dress bowler hat' in Ebay.

New

After working some overtime at work I earned myself £50 Topshop vouchers. So yesterday I dragged my boyfriend around Topshop in a bit to spend my well earned cash. I purchased these high waisted shorts for £28, they're a really nice lilac and actually cover my bum, which is something I have found Topshop shorts have not done in the past.They have loads of different patterns and colours in right now, so check it out! There was also a sale on and that's where I found this pink sparkly top for only £12, bargain yey.
