Vogue Fashion's night out

Tomorrow is Vogue fashion's night out with various stores all around the UK holding exciting events in store and offering various discounts. As there is soooooooo much choice and I am not sure where to start lol! I would love to go to all the events but as this is not at all possible I have limited my choice down to Topshop, as I really want to see Delilah perform live in the Topshop window ( yes really). Miss Selfridge: as they are holding are ‘Love to Customise sequins, studs ’ shopping night and boy do I love to customise. I  also do love a bit of sparkle and studs so this is definitely right up my street. I do also want to make a dash to Aqua as their current collection is beautiful, especially the ‘City of Gold’ range. They are offering 30% off tomorrow which is ummm amaze.

Where will you be heading? x

"One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals. And so when I hear about negative and false attacks, I really don't invest any energy in them, because I know who I am." - Michelle Obama"

 I have just come across this quote from the amazing woman; Michelle Obama. I totally agree with this quote as I will admit that this is something that I have struggled with, not so much now though but more as I was growing up. Of course, there are some days when I find myself reverting back to my old ways but I can honestly say that overall  especially over the past 12 months I do not waste much of my time focusing on any negative energy, comments etc as not only does it give me spots Lol but also because I do believe that positivity always wins! I truly like who I am as person (not in an arrogant way) though. What I mean is that I accept that I may not be everyone's cup of tea and some people might find my style and personality too 'quirky' but for every person that doesn't ‘get me’ there are many others that do. See how I see it as some people prefer Jimmy Choos, others may prefer Louboutins and thats all good.  One thing I can say is that whatever I do I always like to keep it real by staying true to myself and to me that is just fab-u-lous!!!!

 Finally to quote DVF “The most important relationship in your life is the relationship you have with yourself. Because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself.” ― Diane Von Furstenberg

 Amen to that
  

As the saying goes.....

A girl can dream

As we wave goodbye to summer (not that we had much of  a summer this year, grrrr) and welcome Autumn I am thinking about all the pieces that I must have in my Autumn wardrobe. Top of the list: leather trousers. I have just seen these red leather bad boy skinny trousers on Net-a-Porter. With a hefty price tag of..... £3,325 I will have to search for a cheaper but just as 'WOW' alternative. In the mean time I will continue to dribble.

I smell a motel bargain

Sorry for the lack of blogging this week.  Yesterday evening I got back from a lovely short break in Prague.  I had such a nice time with my girls sight seeing, drink wine, eating, chilling and partying etc (post to follow shortly). I came back to many, many emails  (grr), although one that stood out was from Motel informing me that they are having a 2 day sample sale, yay!! I LOVE a  good sample sale so I was jumping up and down especially as prices are due to start at £5, I smell lots and lots of  BAR-GAINS!! As I am trying to watch the pennies for the next few weeks  this sample sale will be a GREAT way to shop my Autumn wardrobe with out causing too much damage to my already dented card.

So the dates: Thursday 6th September and Friday 7th September

Let me know if you are planning on going down.

I will post my motel bargain goodies on here.

My Bargain of the week

So this weeks bargain of the week is a pair of capped toe, lace up boots, which are not only gorge but so damn comfy!!!

I ran into Zara to buy a new scarf and came across these boots that had just been flung on the table. They caught my eye straight a way as I love capped toe footwear but also due to the fact that I was after a new pair of black boots that I could wear from day to night. I tried them on and liked the way they looked  and felt on my feet. I couldn't see a price tag so I took these boots over to the cash point  (along with my  printed scarf) as I was curious to see how much these boots were. When the guy behind the till revealed the price to me I said  ' right, I will take the boots too'  so quickly that I didn't even give the poor guy the chance to even ask me if I wanted them. lol!

Oh well,  'Just call me shoena'


Capped toe boots: WAS £59.99, NOW £12.99

What you think?

My new beaut

 So you may remember that I wrote about the brand ETUI a few posts ago (have a read here) ( and here)

Well here is my latest purchase from Etui and isn't she a beauty!!

I have only had this bag for a week and already it has been on many, many outings!!!!! I just LOVEEEE the size, print and the style. It just screams 'gorgeous' and has that vintage-esque feel, don't you think??

Etui is stocked in Topshop Oxford circus and consists of lots and lots of  beautiful bags!!!! I know i've said this before but seriously TRUST me when I say this, once you visit this concession there is no way that you will leave with out wanting to buy at least one bag!!!! There is SO much choice on offer and all bags are real leather and are made in London


If you don't believe me then take a trip down to Topshop, head straight over to ETUI and you will what all the hype is about. Then if you can  please let me know what you think of the brand.

Have a fab bank holiday weekend!! xx
