New Year, New Shoes!

1. ASOS Molly T-Bar Flat shoes - here (were £20, now £8)

2. New Look Black Suedette Caged Pointed Pumps - here (were £17.99, now £7)

3. Topshop Ginger T-Bar Geek shoes - here (were £28, now £15)

4. New Look Dark Red Loafers - here (were £27.99, now £10)

5. New Look sandals (via ASOS) - here (were £24, now £13.50)

6. New Look Dark Burgundy Cut Out Chunky Heels - here (were £29.99, now £13)

The sales are basically, the only time in the year that I buy shoes. I'm not really a shoe person and like everything else I'm always keen to find the cheapest possible option, especially since the only time I really wear shoes is at work. The majority of my time outside of work is spent in either boots or trainers! I don't mind spending more on a pair of trainers or boots - something that I really like but I'm loath to spend more than about £15 on a pair of shoes that I'm most likely to only wear at work. So when the sales roll around, I'm all over that! Clearly the above includes a cheeky boot purchase but I couldn't not when they were only £13! Bargain! Although the biggest bargain was definitely the dark red loafers (actually more of a brown), they're real leather and a total steal now they're down to £10!

What have your best sale buys been?

Until next time :)

OOTN: Casual Drinks

Nick and I went out for drinks with one of our favourite couples to double date with on Friday (Tish and Katie - you may remember them from this post) and this is what I wore! It was one of those occasions that I am finding oh so difficult to dress for at the moment due to the fact I hate everything in my wardrobe, so I nabbed this shirt from Nick's mums collection - score! I love the berry red colour, and I there's nothing I love more than a polka dot print!

I wore this with black Joni jeans and suede chelsea style boots. And I wapped on my £4 Primark rain coat because it is England after all, and I also really like khaki green with the berry colour.

(OOTN - the details: New Look shirt (last year), Topshop Joni jeans, Primark raincoat, London Rebel suede Chelsea Boots via TKMaxx, Tesco rose gold watch, Accessorize sterling silver infinity necklace - similar here)

Until next time :)

The Cat Collection #4

The next instalment of my cat collection comes in the form of this Topshop dress. I bought it a good year ago and to be quite honest I haven't worn it as much as I should have for the money it cost! If I remember rightly it was around the £30 mark, which if you ask me is pretty steep for what is essentially a cheaply made jersey dress.  But - I'm not going to lie - I bought it purely for the kitty cat on the top half. And as with my previous cat collection post, I really did try and resist this one. I saw it numerous times in store before I finally caved and bought it. I think it was when I went in one day and noticed it wasn't in its usual location that I got a bit worried that I'd missed my chance, so when I saw it had just been moved around I jumped at buying it. I almost wish that cutie pie face were on a cushion because I would get more use out of it! 

Anyway, I did actually wear the dress the other day - I found it lurking in my wardrobe when I was having a clear out and decided I wasn't ok with getting rid, so made a promise to myself to wear it. I just wore it for a casual day shopping with my friend, and that's definitely what it's perfect for. Thumbs up to Topshop on this one!!

Until next time :)

My Autumn wish list

1. New Look:  Black Check Turn Up Sleeve Blazer: here
2. Miss Selfridge: Burgundy Ladder Stitch Jumper: here
3. Topshop: Sleeveless Seam Detail Flippy Dress: here
4. Zara: Leather Shopping Bag: here
5. H&M: Oversized Jumper: here
6. H&M: Cable Knit Jumper: here
7. New Look: Black Checked Jacquard Jumper: here
8. H&M: Dress in Textured Weave: here

The title of this post says it all really. This is my simple autumn wish list. More of a practical list than a super exciting one! I'm also on the hunt for a good pair of black ripped skinny jeans. I've seen some I like on the BooHoo site but I'm just unsure of the quality... I'm fussy about jeans. As I said in my previous post, I love the colours that autumn/winter brings so this makes me so happy :) I think my ultimate faves on the list are the green Topshop dress and the Zara bag. Although the bag is £79.99 so I might be wishing for that one for a while!

Until next time :)

Outfit of the Night(s!) - Majorca Edition

I've just come back from a lovely break in Majorca... sun, sea and sand! Although the weather wasn't the absolute greatest which was disappointing but it's always good to get away and relax so I'm not complaining!!

Anyway, since I had time aplenty and a make shift photographer in the form of Nick I managed to snap a few outfit shots. I will try and link the bits I can but as a lot was from Primark and various summer sales I don't think I'll have much luck!

1. Nirvana tank - Primark (in stores now as far as I'm aware); striped skater skirt - Miss Selfridge; black fakenstocks - Primark; heart bracelet - H&M (in store now, no link available); aaaand vintage leather bag.

2. Yellow smock dress - BooHoo (here); cream and gold snake print clutch - Primark; white fakenstocks - Primark; woven necklace - Accessorize.

3. Purple cropped vest - H&M (in store now, no link available); sheer maxi skirt - H&M; aaaaand leather kitty bag from a Florence market.

4. Floral spaghetti strap dress (ARK); black crochet cardigan - Zara (from years ago - excuse the hole...); black clutch (TKMaxx).

5. Striped crop top - H&M (in store now, no link available); white chiffon midi skirt - Primark; rose gold clutch - Accessorize (years ago).

6. Cream crochet crop top - H&M (last year, similar ones are in store now though); embroidered skirt - Topshop (no longer available); brown sandals - Matalan; aaaand brown leather bag from a cutesy pie shop in Alcudia Old Town.

On reflection, I think my favourite outfit is number 5. I absolutely LOVE the Primark skirt. It's so effortlessly chic and looks far more expensive than Primark so thumbs up all round!

Until next time :)
