Sale Bargains

I hope you are all well and enjoyed any time off you might have had over the last week. I thought today i would share with you my sale bargains. Now i did want to go to Meadowhall to check out the sales but i didn't fancy getting trampled on so i stuck with my local shopping centre. I was really pleased with my sale bargains so here they are, i haven't been able to get any actual pictures of my haul as the light has been so bad recently!

I went into Matalan not really expecting to come out with anything as i find it very hit and miss but i was pleasantly surprised with my finds.

I picked this floral scuba blazer up in a 20 and didn't actually realise it was in the sale until i got to the till. The size 20 was a good fit for me and i really like the fact it doesn't have a turn down collar like you see on most blazers. When i got to the till this was down in the sale to £12.50 what a bargain! Unfortunately this is no longer on the website but they did have quite a few in store so you might want to check there.

I also managed to get a velvet pencil skirt which i have been wanting for ages. I nearly missed this as i was looking for a skater skirt and when i didn't find one i went back around the sale section a second time and just as i was going to the tills i spotted it. This was a steal at £4, again it is no longer showing online but you might find it at your local Matalan.

I popped into Boots as i always like to see what gift sets are left at half price and as you will see quite a few took my eye.

Now i may have mentioned before that i have a bit of a thing for cheap perfume that smells like sweets. I wear it for work because i like to save my more expensive perfume for going out and i like to smell like a sweet shop. This was only £4.50 and you got 3 small bags of Jelly Beans and 6 roller ball perfumes, which all smell lovely and are the perfect size for your bag.

Next up was a So... gift set i picked up for £5 this smells really nice and fresh, you get a large and small bottle of So.. Sexy but both are perfect for you bag, you also go a lovely lipstick which is a good shade for work not too in your face.

Lastly i got some mini big brand perfumes, i hadn't even smelt any of them before but for £9 i though i would give them a go. I've already picked out my favourite, it has to be the Mochino pink bouquet. This is no longer online but your local Boots might still have a few left.

The rest of my sale shopping has been done online as the snow came down quite heavy Friday night which meant i didn't make it out shopping on Saturday.

I bought myself two new bras and some knickers from Simply Be, i love the Simply Yours bras so i decided to get the plunge 2 pack to add to my collection.

I also made my first Forever 21 order and bought myself this velvet skater skirt.

Have you treated yourself to any sale bargains?

Black Velvet

A few weeks ago Big Fat Betty posted on twitter that she had bought herself some cute new dresses one if which I'd bought myself just a few days earlier. We decided to bring you a joint post to show you the dress on 2 different shapes and styles. It turns out the lovely Leah also has this dress so now there is 3.

I picked this dress up at the Simply Be store in the white rose at Leeds, it was in the sale for £19 so I couldn't resist. 

This dress is one of those that makes you want to stroke it, the velvet is so soft. I really love the sheer panel at the top although I wish it was a little lower so there was a bit more cleavage on show. But for those of you who prefer to be more covered it's perfect.

This is a skater dress and the cut is really generous, I'm wearing a 20 but I think I could have worn a 18 and been comfortable. I love this dress it's really simple but with great detailing like the studs on the shoulders and the mesh panel. 

I went for a simple look with the dress no accessories and a messy top knot. I can't wait to see the dress on the other 2 lovely ladies.

Check out their posts and see how they styled the dress,

If you want to get your hands on this fabulous dress it's still available on the simply be website here.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to you all i hope that you had a great night last night whatever you were doing, I thought i would start the year off with the most amazing dress ever!
I first saw this dress at Plus North when Becky modelled it for Scarlett & Jo and since then i was in love, as soon as it came out i knew i had to have it.

I got this in a size 20 as i wanted it to be really fitted, the 20 is perfect and fits like a glove. The dress is so amazing, the mesh sleeves and neckline show some skin so your not 100% covered up. And the velvet is so soft to the touch i just want to wear this dress everyday.

There is also a thigh high split down one side which shows off some leg without wearing a short dress. I'm 5 4'' and this dress is floor length on me without dragging. If i had to pick one dress from my wardrobe that would make me feel like a million dollars it would most definitely would be this one!

This dress ha sold out in a lot of sizes on the Evans website but keep checking as there might be a few returns after the new year. 

I had some amazing opportunities in 2013 and met some of the most amazing people and if it wasn't for this blog i wouldn't have had the chance, so i just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who reads and comments on the blog and to everyone who has supported me.

Big thank you to you all and here's to an amazing 2014! 

XOXO
