Hi and welcome to the Shanty House Blog. Here you can expect to find largely advice on styling yourself into designer trends for pittance. Also lots of tips on little ways to revamp old bits and bobs of clothing into new pieces or outfits.
I started out when I was young about 10 years old making clothes for my Barbie. I couldn’t afford the packs of Barbie clothing with my £1 pocket money I got a week, so I started cutting up my old clothes and sewing them into dolls outfits. I then found at 16 years old, that my pocket money (still £1 a week) wasn’t enough to afford fabulous outfits for myself and so started slap dashing myself new pieces of clothing together from old stuff too. From there I’ve not been able to stop and I make things here and there when they come to mind, or if somebody nice I've met would like something in particular.
I got myself a gig on the C4 show ‘SuperScrimpers‘ and started up this blog to share some of the things I did on the show and other projects too.
You’ll find all sorts that I’m inspired by; photography, designer looks and trends, street style and other brands and labels that I’ve discovered. Also advice on how to style charity shop clothing into fashionable catwalk trends, and the best places to go to get what your looking for.
I hope you enjoy the blog and hopefully pick up some tips. Please leave as many comments as you like and send through any thrifty tips you may have followed or thought of yourself.
Bye Bye
Bex from Shanty House
