Recent Bargains.

I am never usually very successful in sales or in just finding bargains.  However after a recent (successful) shopping trip I thought I should update you on the bargains I found.

Ballerinas from Primark with diamante fastening: £8

Purple Skater Skirt from Primark: £8

Colbalt Blue Pencil Skirt from H&M: £7

Cameo Rose White Peplum top from New Look: £8

Oversize Printed T-shirt from New Look: £6

I was rather impressed at finding these items as usually I come away empty handed or pay the full price, then find a few weeks later that the item is now reduced. My Puppy; Sky, was desperate to help me when I was photographing the items so I thought she deserved her picture here.

Let me know what bargains you have found recently!

Now I love anything that is a bit quirky and a little bit different, especially when it comes to t-shirts and so this definitely ticked the box.

It’s a ‘Goodie Two Sleeves’ t-shirt from truffleshuffle.co.uk, that have a range of different and unusual t-shirts, jumpers, jewellery, gifts and accessories, many of which reminded me of my childhood. I’d recommend taking a look!  This t-shirt cost £22.99 and I received it the next day, which impressed me (and the free sweets I got with it.)

I could have bought many other t-shirts from there, but I’m trying to cut down on the amount of clothes I currently buy as I’m running out of space.

 

This is my new favourite t-shirt….well for the moment anyway!

The 90s are back!

So 90’s fashion is making a comeback.

Now I don’t mean this.

That rucksack that you had to blow up before you could use it.

Or this.

Adidas Poppers (picture courtesy of facebook.com)

I still don’t understand the point of tracksuit bottoms with poppers, but they were all the rage. And yes I did own a pair

Or even this.

Jelly Shoes (picture courtesy of tumblr.com)

Jelly Shoes, that have tried to make a come-back over the years and I recently spotted a variation of them in New Look. But  hopefully they’ll  stay far away. (Fingers crossed!)

But this….

Crop Tops.

They’re are all over the high street, but yes they were popular in the 90’s.

Batman Crop Top from River Island: £18

Dungarees.

Dungarees are so unflattering, but there is just something about them that makes them a bit of fun to wear.

Vintage Wash Dungarees from ASOS: £45

Printed  Leggings.

Will definitely lighten up any plain outfit.

BDG Cosmic Tie-Dye Leggings from Urban Outfitters: £28

What do you think to the 90’s comeback?

My Top 10 Favourite Fashion buys ever…

This has been a difficult task reducing it to just ten items, but after some careful consideration, here are my favourites..

1. Blue shirt dress with cut out top (Missguided.) This dress is so versatile, it can be dressed up or down and the cut out style makes it more unusual.

Missguided Shirt Dress

2. White blouse with neck tie. (Primark.) I bought this top so long ago now that I can’t remember the price of it, but I simply adore it. It is so easy to dress up or down.

3. Black, textured turtle neck Midi dress (Bank, currently on offer for £15.) This dress is a staple item in my wardrobe. It is so simple but can be dressed up with statement jewellery for a night out.

4. Lace black boots with bows. (Miss Selfridge £55.) The heel is about 6 inches on these shoes and although they are nowhere near the most comfortable pair of heels, they are a gorgeous pair of shoes. I’ve just noticed they are currently on offer for £20 on the Miss Selfridge website, which I’d definitely get snapped up!

Black Lace Boots

5. Black Molly Jeggings (River Island £35.) I live in these jeggings, they are so comfy and are such good quality that they look like jeans. Yet again they are another item that can be dressed up or down.

6.Black quilted jacket with fur collar (Vera&Lucy from Ark £50.) This is another item I live in and when the weather gets warmer I’ll certainly miss wearing it.

7. Black Maxi Dress with flowers (Rare from Bank.) This dress was reduced to £10 when I bought it and I cannot wait for summer days to wear it. It is my favourite maxi dress ever.

8. White double tongue Converse (Schuh £45.) I love how comfy converse are and as you can see from the picture, these trainers have had quite a lot of wear out of them. However I would not recommend the white ones if you struggle to keep them clean, like me.

Converse Trainers

9.Parisian white Flower shorts (New Look (£19.99.) I find these are too short to wear without tights or leggings, but I simply love the print on them, they are a little bit different.

10. Black lacey blouse (Primark.) I love that lace is in fashion now, it such a lovely feminine style. I style this top with a pair of skinny jeans and heels.

The Midi Dress

This season’s key trend is the midi dress, the knee length dress that has long lost its association with being ‘granny-like’ and is now all over the high street.

The main positive to this dress is the versatility. It can be worn with boots or flats for daytime glamour, or with a pair of heels for night-time style.

However, on shorter girls the style may feel a bit too long; but the high street is fast picking up on this with petite variations of the dress now available in some stores.

This is the most recent midi dress I have purchased of which I wore for my 21st Birthday.
