Wanted this Sale Season!

My shopping saga is coming to an end. I've set myself a deadline. I'm going to stop looking and stop buying! I know it will be hard, I feel like I need to go to rehab or block my access to the internet. But I need to give me bank card a break. Before I stop shopping completely, I want to share my favourite finds from this sale season, so you can shop till ya drop! Sharing is caring, right?

Top - Reiss // Skirt - Pied A Terre // Shoes - Hobbs // Bracelet - Goldsmiths

 

This sales outfit is just so shiny! I feel like it's a great way to welcome in the New Year. The top was £110 and is now only £35!!!! THIS IS CRAZY. This deal blew my mind. The top is so refreshing, I've never seen anything like it. The pattern is so unique and makes you take a second glance. It's sheer, so I would recommend wearing a white top underneath, if flashing your office is not your agenda.

 



This black skirt is a modern take on a wardrobe staple with added structure. It was £59 and now it's £17.50. What are you waiting for?! Add a pair of classic brogues for a little menswear chic. They were £159 and are now £79. Bargain, bargain, bargain.

Finish the outfit off with a minimal silver bracelet. It's 9 carat white gold plated sterling silver. I tried this on in store and it's so practical. It's slightly elasticated so you can put it on and take it off with ease. No more asking people to help you put on your bracelet in the morning.

 

HAPPY MONDAY!

Winter Sales 2015 pt. 1

I got back from  a lovely break in Stockholm on Sunday. I had university the next day and I'll be back at work tomorrow! Things are a bit hectic but I find peace in showing what I got:

 

UGG Boots - Kurt Geiger (still available)

 

 

The UGG boots were a surprise. They went on discount during the Black Friday/ Cyber Monday circus - who knew Britain was so American! But I didn't buy them. Then I regretted it. Has that ever happened to you? I didn't want them, then when I couldn't have them, I wanted them. Urgh! But then boxing day cam, I happened to go on the Kurt Geiger website and my babies were on sale! So I bought them. Such a good decision. They keep me so warm. I don't think I could have handled Stockholm without them, there was so much now. It feels like I'm walking on clouds, clouds of the sheep kind that is.

 

 

Cotton Jumper - Monsoon (no longer online, check in-store)

 

 

My cotton saviour! I rarely wear pink to the office so I'm trying to change that. This jumper shows my dedication. Just wear it over a collard shirt and you have smart casual all day long. I'm a sucker from 100% cotton. It just makes life easier. No dry cleaning costs and stains are easier to get rid of.

 

 

Necklace - Accessorize (no longer online, check in-store)
 

 

I feel like this statement necklace is office appropriate. I'll give it a try and see what happens! 

 

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

Purple on Purple

Top - Vintage (similar) // Trousers - Kaliko (similar) // Watch - Olivia Burton

So much purple, enough to warm up any winter morning. I don't think purple trouser get enough love for office wear. So let it be known, purple trousers for 2015, your colleagues will thank you. 

Coloured tailored trousers go well with boxy tops. The slim fitting trousers are balanced by the loose yet structured top. 

I feel so professional when I wear tailored trousers with a line down the middle of the leg. I'm sure it has a name, maybe I'm not professional enough to know it yet I guess. It tried to iron it on to a pair of trousers. It didn't go to well. In fact, I had to wash the trousers again to get rid of my horrible creation! The lines weren't straight and just looked wrong. Dry cleaners have special powers, honestly. I don't know how they do it! 

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Shorts to Work in 2015!

Blazer - French Connection (old) // Blouse - Hobbs (old) // Shorts - Sandro (similar) // Loafers - Dune (old)

New Year, a new you? Get that promotion, change your job to be happier, do what you love and if you get paid for it, well done! JUST GO GET IT. 

My daring take on 2015 would be to wear shorts to the office. A girl can dream after all. 

HAPPY MONDAY! 

and

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Boxing Day SALES

After giving and receiving on Christmas day, it's time to receive some more. Spend that hard earned money on yourself! Treat yourself to something on your wish list or just get everything on that wish list.

 

I'm ill/fear for my life so I won't be hitting the sales in person today. I'll be doing it from home in between naps, sneezes and essay writing. I was quite disorganised this year though, I've bought things that I haven't tried on in store.Thank god for free returns.

 

Surprise sale find of the morning: Gershwin UGG boots! Who knew UGG boots even went on sale? I didn't. They were sold out on the Selfridges website so did a sneaky Google and found them in stock with the same discount on the Kurt Geiger website. They'll be delivered on the 5th of January though, 10 days and counting...

HAPPY SHOPPING!

Winter Yellow and Black

  

 

Blazer - French Connection (similar here and here) // Blouse - Sud Express (similar) // Trousers - New Look // Shoes - Clarks // Necklace - Swarovski // Watch - Olivia Burton

 

 

Let there be sun! It may be cold outside but when the sun shines, it makes it all better. So why not wear a pale yellow blouse to the office? The all-black blazer and trousers makes the hint of colour less harsh. Great for offices drenched in black and grey.

 

I finally got my Swarovski necklace. It was a little gift from me to me. I think it's good to show yourself some love in jewellery form. Get in the Christmas spirit! Here's my Christmas gift you, a little be of knowledge. The Clarks shoes are on SAAAALLLLLEEEE. I got them full price, so Merry Christmas and happy shopping.

HAPPY SATURDAY!

Office Christmas Party Outfit

 

 

Top - Mango (old) // Skirt- Warehouse // Shoes - Aldo (old)

 

Tadaaa! This is what I wore to the office Christmas party. I wanted to be comfortable and cute. The floral print stood out, it was different to all the Christmas sparkle going on in the room. And there was so much sparkle!

 

The high-waisted midi skirt was comfortable. It didn't let me down during the three course meal. My food baby stayed hidden but not crushed. A colleague even told me I looked like a woman! It's all thanks to the midi.

It was a lovely evening with dinner and drinks. Sadly, no dancing but I don't think my skirt could have handled that. As usual I took my heels off approximately two hours after I put them on. A had a pair of flats at hand and enjoyed the rest of the night.

Hope you had/have a great pardy too. (Everyone loves a pardy).

HAPPY TUESDAY!
