My addiction to tan leather continues.

It’s reached that point in the month when money is a bit thin on the ground for me but I was in desperate need of some new shoes for work so I headed off to Primark. I haven’t really bought anything from Primark in a while; I’m not the biggest fan of the kind of stuff they bring out over the Winter season. The store in Newcastle has a lot of Spring/Summer stuff in at the moment, I wasn’t too sold on any of the clothes (Might be due to the fact it’s still absolutely freezing outside and days of wearing summer dresses and cardigans seem too far away), I did however purchase a few accessories.

Loafers-£10, Brogues-£7, Floral Hair band-£2, Bags-£7 each, Vanilla scented Candle-£1.50, Foundation/Concealer brush-£1.50

I love loafers and seeing as my beloved pair from Peacocks (My 5th pair to be precise) had finally given up on me, I couldn’t help but buy this pair for only £10.

They also had them in tan, which I would have preferred, but as usual with Primark they only had tiny sizes left so I settled for this bluey grey pair.

Both Bryden and I had seen this bag on other blogs and we’re lusting after it, so I picked one up for us each.

I know everyone and their granny is bound to have this bag, but it’s a perfect size and I'm addicted to anything that involves tan leather (Or fake leather in this case).

Bryden has also bought the Foundation brush and loves it. I gave it a go this morning, but I found it hard to back to using a foundation brush after using the Cosmopolitan Make up Sponge (I’ll be talking about this more in a January Favourites post soon) and ended up giving up after one cheek.

I also stopped by Newcastle's Affordable Vintage Fair yesterday, but more about that soon...

A trip to Tynemouth

Last Sunday was one of those rare mornings where we hadn't been out the night before. Feeling fresh, we decided to head along to Tynemouth market.




The entrance to the market from street level.

Tynemouth market is held in Tynemouth Metro Station and is well known across the North East as a place where bargains can be found. I have been told that the market is better for vintage clothing and accessories on a Saturday but we have yet to visit on that day as Harmer is often at work.




Inside the market (excuse the slightly out of focus picture, Harmers camera ran out of battery!)

We walked around the market for a good 2 hours and found a handful of items to take home. I picked out a Sarah Coventry vintage cameo ring for £2, some homemade chocolate orange truffles for £3.50, a slice of chicken and leek pie for £1.10 and a rocky road cake for £1. Harmer managed to find herself a 'Claire' bracelet (which is her christian name) for 50p, a beautiful turquoise brooch for £5 which she plans to make into a ring, a slice of chicken and leek pie £1.10 and a toffee and chocolate muffin for £1.

After building up a large appetite we decided to walk along to the sea front for some fish and chips.



As we were walking along we popped into the Green Ginger shopping mall which is situated in an old church. It was here where I found myself a new cup and saucer for £2.49. We were shocked when we discovered the set for soo cheap and had to double check that the saucer and cup weren't priced separately!!!



Harmer pointed us in the right direction of Marshall's Fish and Chip shop and we decided to sit inside as the weather was not the nicest.



We both ordered cod, chips and mushy peas and shared a pot of curry sauce.



After filling our bellies we decided it was time to head back home and admire our purchases:


The cakes! With an extra two for our other housemates.


My WONDERFUL cup and saucer. It looks quite small on this picture but it is MUCH bigger then a standard size set.


Our small jewellery haul.



We're looking forward to this coming Sunday and we are hoping to attend a vintage fair at Northumbria University's student union. We shall report back with our finds and next time we'll make sure to take a few snaps of our faces.

Who we are.

We are Harmer and Bryden, two Twenty something lasses from Newcastle Upon Tyne. We’ve finally started this blog, after talking about it for ages, due to our shared love of reading other peoples blogs.

We don’t really want the blog to have a set theme, but it will generally include beauty, fashion, local events and general rambling. We hope you enjoy reading ‘Trebles and a Mixer’ and we look forward to any feedback.
