I am a newbie when it comes to op shopping…or thrifting as it is known elsewhere. I have always been aware of op shops from a y0ung age as my parents used to have regular clean outs and our unwanted clothes, toys etc where taken to the local charity shop. But I have never thought […]

Today is the 1st of November, which means Frocktober for 2015 is officially finished. The challenge I set myself was to wear a different dress every day…that’s 31 days …31 dresses. And I am a bit embarrassed to say that I met the challenge easily…I even have a few dresses spare! Seems I really do […]

I am a recent convert to the wonders of op shopping, and now I have to admit that I am totally addicted. I used to think that op shops…or thrift shops…were full of old junk…and I wasn’t totally wrong. But amongst the trash, there is actually treasure to be found…and now I find it hard […]

Over the last few years, I have developed a keen interest in fashion…but not mainstream fashion as such because following the latest trends just isn’t for me. Instead, I am loving creating my own unique look from a mishmash of modern, vintage and op shop…Zincstyle! If you follow my posts about What I Wore, and […]
