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!

Office Christmas Party Inspiration


It's time for the Christmas office party! Everyone likes a party. This is my second one ever and I still find it hard to plan an outfit for a sophisticated dinner and dancing. But I am pretty happy with my dream selection above. Instead of choosing a dress, I went for separates that can be worn again. A silk camisole tucked into a semi-sheer midi skirt mixed with statement accessories. And those thin midi rings, I can't live without them. I don't know how my fingers existed without them. All hail anything midi!

I'm still putting the finishing touches on my Christmas party outfit. The deadline is this Friday...


Necklace - John & Pearl at Harvey Nichols
Bag - 123
Rings - HLcollection at Etsy
Top - Tibi at Net-a-Porter

 
HAPPY MONDAY!
