Recent purchases & new job!

Hi everyone!

I have been absent from the blogosphere for a while now, but I have a good excuse for it! See more at the end of this post.. But for now, let me show you my recent purchases through -fake- polaroids:

- a loose Comptoir des Cotonniers tee shirt with Léon, the emblematic dog of the brand! I got it on sale this week, I usually cannot afford this brand..

- a white see-through blouse, I really like the sleeves, they remind me of tulips! (from Primark).

- a H&M bodycon silkish skirt, which was also a bargain from the sale!

- a Regency chick-lit! Okay, this one is not really related to fashion, even though they do talk a lot about clothes :D (Splendid - Julia Quinn).

And finally.. the reason why I've been away for so long! I have found a summer job, I am currently working at Selfridges!! It can be hard work, but I really enjoy it and feel so lucky to work in such an amazing department store! Who would have thought the little Frenchie that I am could get a job there? I work a lot, and wear a uniform (black tee shirt, skirt, shoes) so no outfit post for now.. However my giveaway is still on and will up soon! Please bear with me, these are really busy times! :D

The Oxfam Curiosity Shop

Hey! I've been meaning to tell you about a very exciting project I am taking part in and which could definitely be of interest to some of you! Oxfam has teamed up with Selfridges (in London) to open a pop-up shop for a week in the luxury department store, from the 14th of May (tomorrow) to the 20th of May.

The Oxfam Curiosity Shop will showcase thousands of vintage clothes, accessories and homeware; as well as clothes donated by celebrities, such as by Alexa Chung, Elle Mac Pherson or Annie Lennox (among many others!) All the money raised will go to different women's charities supported by Oxfam.
Being a volunteer for Oxfam, I've had the opportunity to help set up the shop hence working in Selfridges for a few days, which has been very exciting! I will also work there when the shop is open, so why not come and say hi? Some celebrities will also be part of the staff, so this will definitely be a unique shopping experience!

As you can see, there were of loads of clothes to sort, steam, and price! And in case you were wondering, the prices will be very attractive, as the shop has been set up by Oxfam. There are a lot of designers clothes, too, so you will find bargains aplenty!

I love this dress! And floral shorts are a must for Spring, don't you think? :D

The pop- up shop opens tomorrow (Friday) at noon, and will be located in the Ultralounge (lower ground floor) in Selfridges..
I hope you enjoyed this little 'behind the scene' post! For those of you who can't make it, there will be photos of the shop here really soon, so stay tuned!
