A Missguided Sale Wish List

02nd April 2016
Sale season is upon us again, although with so many going on at any one time it can be hard to keep track! Lately I’ve been using Love the Sales which is essentially a website that collates all of the sales from the UK’s biggest retailers in to one place. It was whilst browsing Love the Sales that I discovered that Missguided have a sale on and that actually there is rather a lot I wouldn’t mind owning from there right now, sod’s law as I’m not buying clothes at the moment but I thought I’d pop my top picks in a post for any one else who might be in the mood for a splurge!
The prices are crazy good, seriously bargain buys. I’m sorely tempted by the white midi pinafore dress which costs just £15 as well as the lace up flat shoes (just £8.00!) and the burgundy tie waist midi skirt for £7.00 which I think would look awesome with some white trainers and a fine knit top.

Anyway, I’m coming dangerously close to giving in and breaking my ban so I’ll leave this post here. Which sales have you been shopping and how do you keep track of them all?

Orla Kiely at WatchShop.com

01st April 2016
If there’s one thing I love it’s a good watch and despite only being able to wear one at a time I have quite a vast collection of them. Still, there’s always room for one or two more and when I was offered the chance to pick a new timepiece from watchshop.com and noticed a rather stunning range of watches by the ubiquitous Orla Kiely I was powerless to resist.

Watch c/o watchshop.com (this one) | Roll Neck Top c/o Long Tall Sally | Skirt: Urban Outfitters

The packaging alone is enough to make me want to own even more Orla Kiely watches, with her signature print adorning both the outer and inner box this is something you’ll proudly want to display. When it came to the watches themselves, well there’s a rather vast selection from metal with embellished dials to more classic leather straps and prints galore but it was the retro feeling “Poppy” that stole my heart in the prettiest of pale pinks with rose gold metalware.
There aren’t enough adjectives in the world to describe how much I love this watch and the feeling isn’t exclusive to me as my non-watch wearing mother is determined to have it from me at some point! Despite my many watches this has instantly become my go-to for it’s delicate size and subtle statement making skills- must have for any fan of Orla Kiely.
Who are some of your favourite watch designers? I didn’t even know Orla Kiely did watches and now I fear it might be a very dangerous (read costly) discovery although with prices from £75 through to £165 her timepieces are thankfully more affordable than some!
