My Bargain of the week

Soooo let me start by slapping my wrist,as I have been naughty and not posted one of my bargain's for 2 weeks BUT fear not I am back on this. So here goes, my bargain for the week is a gorge multi coloured, multi beaded necklace from Miss Selfridge:

Where from: Miss Selfridge
Price: WAS £20 now 50p

I wore this today teamed with a black playsuit and denim waist coat, I love how this necklace lifted my outfit today.

What do you think of the necklace? how fab is the price!

Zara Beauties

'Your room is like a mini Topshop’ are the words echoed by my sister to describe the state of my room, which is a slight exaggeration, actually a huge exaggeration!! What I will say though is that I am so loving sorting it out, well I am attempting too which is proving to be stressful and exciting at the same time. Stressful as I will admit I do have lots of bits that I no longer need and exciting as I am 'finding' lots of nice items that I had forgotten about or purchased. Take these yellow beauties from Zara that I 'found' the other day, in a box in my dvd cupboard ( who knows that they were doing there) But look without even trying to work that out, I am rejoicing in this great ‘find ‘and I am itching to wear them before the sun disappears. As they are suede and we all know how suede and rain are a bad combination.

Look out for my post on here of me rocking these yellow beauties

Pleather Love

I am SO loving coloured leather at the mo!!! I really want to get my hands on a Red leather jacket or a blue one but as I am on a budget this month I am not sure this will happen for now, grrr!!

Own the run way have some gorge pleather jackets at the mo and they are at great prices, a girl at work has one and I can reveal the quality of jacket looks great for a pleather purch as we all know how when pleather looks bad it looks BAD and very Cheap.

Hmmm I feel a pleather purchase coming on....

£36.99

£48.99

Check out the site for some yummy pieces: http://www.owntherunway.com/

The wait is over!!

So last week Thursday one of the days I have been waiting for finally arrived- The fab Topshop unique collection landed in to stores and on line, hooray!!! I fell in love with this collection back in February and blogged about it on my tumblr blog here This time round I just felt that the collection felt so slick and grown up. Don't get me wrong as a big toppers fan I have liked previous unique collections but the AW12 one definitely kick previous seasons to the curb.

This was probably due to the fact this was the first collection from former Vogue Editor Kate Phelan and sometimes that all it takes just a bit of new blood.

To sum up the collection, it is sort of chic- feminine meets utilitarian and most importantly all very wearable!!

My Faves are defo the Quilted boyfriend coat, the ripple shorts and the black petal dress and I also love the over sized knit wear!!

I was in topshop on lunch (as usual) on Friday and boy was the collection being SHOPPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now all I need is for pay day to hurry up so I can purchases a few pieces, grrr!

The Topshop Unique AW12 collection is truly scrumptious!!!! xx

Have you purchased any bits from the collection? will you be? either way what are you faves? As usual I would love to hear you thoughts!! xx

Spreading the Celliana love

Last week Thursday the post man handed me my post that contained many boring bills (yawn) and one package that I had to sign for. As soon as I saw who the package was from, I found my self full of crazy excitement as I had been waiting for this to arrive. I opened the package faster than you could say "excited". Inside the package was a pretty gold head chain from Celliana- a awesome costume jewellery brand that had recently been brought to my attention by my sister.

The lovely team at Celliana kindly sent me this fabulous beautie to review so here goes.

I absolutely LOVE the head chain, its light, pretty, especially the jewelled stone at the centre front and definitely adds the 'wow' factor to any outfit. As someone who likes to have fun with fashion, I would wear it during the day as well as on a night out to a bar or dinner or even to a festival. Now I will confess, I have had my eye on a head chain for a while as I quite wanted to rock the Nicole Ritche, boho -esque look, so when I received this one from celliana I was more than ready to wear it. Infact I wore it the next day to a event and then yesterday to work.

I do not have a pic of me at the event but will tell you that I wore the gorgeous head chain with a black jersey jumpsuit and a yellow blazer. I do have a pic of my outfit yesterday below. As you can see I have teamed it with a mustard vest top and denim, sequined shorts and grey chelsea boots. You can see how it just adds a bit of 'pow' to quite a casual day time outfit. I must also add that on both occasions, I received many positive compliments about my head chain :) and of course I pointed all into the direction of the celliana website as it would be wrong not to spread the celliana love.

So would I recommend it? Most definitely!!!! And I am not just saying that to be polite, as always I am keeping it real! So if you are after a lovely head piece that's pretty, funky and just fab, fab, fab then get yourself over to Celliana immediately.

No doubt I will be rocking this head chain on many occasions so look out for my posts on here to see all the different ways that I have styled it up!

Oh I should add that this head chain is part of a new head chain collection that will launch tomorrow on the celliana website.

Let me know your thoughts xx
