owl about

23rd November 2012


Gotta love Mae getting in on the photo action once again! This isn’t really a recent outfit, gone are the days where I post what I wear on the day I wear it! This navy owl print dress by Influence at New Look was worn for Sunday’s family pub lunch (which was delicious by the way) along with black tights from Tesco and my favourite/most hated boots from Sarenza.
I do love a good family gathering, but now they bring a sense of sadness too. My Nan loved a get together and she would have been in her element on Sunday. I don’t think I was alone in secretly raising my glass to her.

This dress is probably one of my favourite buys this year, again with a link to my Nan who was besotted with owls; when we were searching for gifts for her we couldn’t find anything with an owl on, now you can’t look anywhere without seeing one. It’s not a bad thing, sometimes it catches you unaware but mostly it’s like a little reminder that she is always there, and always watching.

Well,
here we are on Friday again (Crunchie craving and all!)
What are your weekend plans?

Be Savings Savvy with Sales Gossip

22nd November 2012

“SalesGossip.co.uk, is a revolutionary new website that has launched today. It locates and curates every fashion and beauty sale on the high street and online, allowing ‘bargainistas’ to search and discover high street sales online and on their mobile. This is the first ever tool that collects all information about sales direct from both high street and online retailers and allows shoppers to search and discover the sales according to their location, the brands they love or the outfits they are hunting for”.

I’m all for saving money and since the launch e-mail arrived in my inbox yesterday I have been exploring the site and seeing just how user-friendly it is. Some sales/discount sites are just full of expired offers and dull design but Sales Gossip not only looks sleek but is full of relevant information sorted neatly into categories which make searching super easy; fashion, beauty, men’s, kids, sample sales and even student discount are easily located on the site and although the location coverage doesn’t include all of the major shopping destinations at present, for those who live near the ones that ARE covered then this is a must-use function!

My top picks of the current sales are…

Save 20% at boohoo.com

Student discount and money off at Matalan

20% off at Selfridges

Save 10% at Swarovski

I’d love to hear what you think of the site and what bargains you have snagged. I’m really impressed with what I have seen so far, the only downside being how much more tempting it is to shop!

sequins for day

22nd November 2012

Jumper: Asda George, Skirt: New Look, Shoes: c/o Sarenza

Supermarkets that sell clothes are so bad for me, especially when they are cheap! A random trip to Asda resulted in yet another jumper added to my knit collection (though this was a present from Mum). I was suckered in by the sequin collar and chance to add some sparkle to my working wardrobe. Teamed with a faithful skater skirt and those Steve Madden shoes that I suddenly live in (and will never tire of) I was quite impressed with how easy it was to add some sparkle to everyday wear.

I can’t believe we are almost at the end of another week, I had so many plans to get organised, do some more gift guides and generally get ahead of myself and BAM…running out of time, again. Thankfully I am off this afternoon so I will force myself to be productive; I’m glad I did my Christmas shopping when I was signed off sick or I’d probably be very stuck.

How are your festive preparations going? How do you add sparkle to your everyday look?
