Bargain of the week

I Shoena Isokariari, solemnly swear to get back into the swing of blogging weekly about my bargain of the week.

Just to refresh all your memories and to let new readers know what I am rambling on about. A few months ago (on my tumblr blog) I set myself the  weekly challenge of finding a lovely item for under £15. There are 2 main rules:

1. Items must be from a variety of shops (so not just primani as that is way too easy)
2. Items can be anything i.e. a ring, a coat... the main thing is that all items must be fabo and of course a bargain!

I have been naughty (imagine me slapping my hand) and I have not posted my finds for the past 3 weeks BUT this is the start of a new beginning and I am back on it!! So with that said let me introduce you to my AH-MAZING bargain of last week... drum roll please....



A OLIVE GREEN, FAUX FUR SHAWL/SCARF.....





Price... wait for it £1

From where? Topshop (WAS £35)















Ahhhhhh do you likey? I LOVEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Ps My bargain for this week will be posted in the next few days (yes, I have already found one).

The Issue Magazine

Last month I wrote a blog post on the preview of the Marni for H&M collection for a lovely on line fashion site called  The Issue magazine. They have recently launched their fab on line fashion magazine.

Visit the website and whilst youre there please have a read of my TWO publications; Show me the Marni Marni! and I heart the 1920s. Both my posts can be searched for by typing the above titles in the search box on the site.

I would LOVE to know you thoughts, what did you think of the Marni collab, what has been your fave collaboration to date?

Do you love the 1920s as much as I do?  do you own a flapper dress, did you see the film 'The  Artist'?

Ooooh did someone say TOPSHOP SALE

 I received an email today entitled 'shhh Topshop sale'. Now Topshop and sale are like Chocolate and ice cream! The point I am making here..... these two words are a good combination, especially when its mid month and my purse is feeling a little light i.e the cash flow isn't great (hmm how long until pay day?)

Anyway it turns out that the Topshop sale does not officially start until tomorrow but the sale is live on the web today. So on my lunch break, in between munching on my yummy and very healthy lunch ( FYI-mackerel and vegetables) I sat down in front of the computer to 'browse' the sale. I set myself a budget of £50 and 30 min time frame.

30 minutes later

My basket was filled with a few nice bits (see below) as you may have noticed  the majority of my basket consists of shoes lol! well that is why my uncle nick named me shoena. :) plus if I'm honest the shoe section is the strongest section in the topshop sale... i have always thought this, and i have a sneaky feeling many regular topshop shoppers will agree with me. 

 NOW £20

NOW £25

£20

NOW £50

NOW £30

£40

NOW £35

The result

After much deliberating.... I went with the below 2 options. Time spent: 45mins (yes I went over the allocated time allowance) amount spent: £40= 1 successful lunch time+happy me
