Happy Kind of Belated christmas

Sorry for the serious delay in posting I have been flat out working and enjoying christmas nights out etc. I had an amazing christmas I hope everyone else had a good one also. My wardrobe is bigger now than ever before through getting spoilt rotten and also spoiling myself which is essential !!

I got this amazing coat from Topshop which was £95 however with my discount I got it for a bargain of £72. I dont think I ever want to take it off my back. Have any of you got anything for christmas that you dont think you ever want to leave off ???

As you can see im wearing my bargain shoes from River Island which cost only £25! O i almost forgot my other shoes from River Island just arrived today I love them  . I will keep you posted. xoxo

Shoe Frenzy

As you guys probably already know Topshop and River Island sale have both started today with the shoe sale starting yesterday ! I decided that i would therefore treat myself to some sale bargain shoes that I had been after for some while and with their cheap price I couldnt resist any longer !! However due to sleeping on in my bed I didnt get a wide selection of sizes therefore I could only buy 3 pairs and I also ordered another pair online lol. Trust me their shoe sale this year was amazing and I could have easily added 20 different shoes to my basket online and in store !!





I got all these shoes for a bargain,  the green ones cost me £30, the black and gold ones cost me £25 and the Topshop Annex boots cost me £45 however with my staff discount I got them for £33 !! complete bargain. I also ordered another pair from River Island online which will be shown soon . Il keep you posted. Have any of you guys got good bargains from the Highstreet recently????

Wide leg trousers

I have been after a nice pair of wide leg trousers this past while and I finally went and bought myself a pair of Topshop ones yesterday and also decided to treat myself to a nice chunky knitted cardigan in Topshop. I defintly need it in that weather ! Its awful , My trousers however are kind of sheer like so I was bascially freezing on my bottom half of my body and really warm on my upper body. I also wore my bargain vintage bag which although I love it was kind of impractical when wearing a knitted cardigan as it kept catching and on my cardigan and pulling out threads.





Although I love the snow to look at It really is becoming annoying getting to and from places and waitin an hour or so on a taxi , please go away.

I love fringes !!

From looking at recent catwalks and highstreets and coming across a new website called Spanish Moss I can offically say that fringes are back !! and about time ! I bought this amazing dress from Topshop at the weekend which I absolutely love and I got it for an absolute bargain of £38 !








I LOVED this dress however it was so unpratical, I probably wont wear it again in a hurry as it caught on everything and now some of the frindges are huge and some are small., so disapointed ,

Baby its cold outside

Omg what a week we have all had with that snow and the blizzard we had on Monday was awful, It did serve a purpose though as it meant that some people got off work early and some didnt even have to go in at all. I was lucky enough to get away early ,Monday actually seen one of the biggest day for online shopping, Its crazy !!

ASOS marketplace

After reading my monthly ASOS magazine I came about a new discovery, ASOS marketplace allows us to buy, sell and recycle our clothes and accessories just like Ebay, or even open up your own vintage boutique, This is opening new ground for anyone interested in opening up their own store, I have a feeling that this could be the next best thing , However i must admit there is a downfall , some of the clothes is extremely over priced e.g sunglasses can range from 250 - 500 pound however these expensive items are only few with some clothing having really affordable prices.

The marketplace allows you to search for a certain style or designer , although at the minute if im honest the selection isnt massive but its big enough however with time I think this will grow beyond anyones expectations.

ASOS offers a new alternative to Ebay. From searching Ive found a few hidden treasures such as the following



Vintage seller Bird on a Wire


 The above image shows an amazing vintage seller that goes by the name of Bird on a wire, All items in the above picture are avaliable on ASOS market place and are all reasonably priced. The amazing snake skin clutch is £30 with the taupe patterned blouse for  £24.50. The hat is also avaliable on ASOS marketplace.

Vintage seller the dirty blonde

























The above image shows clothing from another seller called The Dirty Blonde, All items of clothing are avaliable from this seller. These Vintage Faux leather shorts are amazing and cost only £25 ! A complete bargain, the velvet blazer also shown can be bought for £45 !




The above vintage mohair long slouchy cardigan is amazing and costs just £35 ! It is from the amazing vintage seller madampopoffvintage !

The best thing about ASOS marketplace is that your nearly guarenteed that your going to be the only person with that piece of clothing as every piece of clothing is unique , so on your marks get set, who's going to get their first and get that hidden treasure that will be amazing to look at and amazing on !! Check it out and tell me what you think, all I know is that the moment I get paid next week I will be doing some serious christmas shopping and treating myself

ALL IMAGES USED ARE NOT MINE AND CAN BE FOUND ON ASOS MARKETPLACE
