Topshop steals!

Hello again!

After going into London yesterday, I couldn't help but treating myself to some goodies in the Topshop sale.

As we all know, Topshop has become ridiculously expensive, even with the student discount. Everything is very overpriced, so I only buy things from there when they put on one of their fantastic sales.

Teddy bear coats are quite popular at the moment, with Kim Kardashian and one of my style icons Alexa Chung both wearing them. I was lucky enough to find one of the last teddy fur pea coats (which have a slightly different material than the classic teddy bear coat) for £40 down from £79 yesterday! 

I love the soft material of the coat, it really does feel like a teddy bear. The vibrant blue colour goes with most of my wardrobe, so I will definitely be wearing it non stop. It's also, unlike lots of coats I've previously bought at Topshop, very warm. With this very on and off weather we're having, it's a perfect winter coat that will brighten up your outfit.

The inside is lined with a comfortable silky material, and it's fitted so doesn't look baggy or anything. I love it!

I also treated myself to these cute little Polar Bear socks, which were only a pound! 

The Topshop sale is brilliant for cute little pants and socks, as they get reduced to £3-£1 and they are of a much better quality than the ones sold in Primark for the same price.

So all together I spent £41, but I got another £4.10 off with my student discount. Because the sale is almost coming to an end, lots of items are getting reduced even more, so go and have a look to see what steals you can find!

P.S. The teddy fur pea coat comes in lots of different colours. Here is the white one if you are interested: http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/teddy-fur-pea-coat-2212484 

Chelsea boots!

Hello again pals

So the Chelsea boot is a major hype at the moment, flat or heeled. And I am a huge fan.

The reason I love them so much is that they go with anything: jeans, skirts, shorts, dungarees etc etc. Also, because they are wedged they are comfortable enough to wear everyday. They aren't too good to run in though...

The Vagabond Chelsea boot is of course the ultimate Chelsea boot. However, they are rather expensive  (£79.99 to be precise) for your average, lazy, never-having-any-money sort of person like me.

There is a saviour for us, which is the mini heaven called eBay! I bought this pair of Chelsea boots for £25 and they are absolutely beautiful.

I wore them to Office to compare them with Vagabonds. Vagabonds are of course of a better quality, but not significantly. The boots look exactly the same, and are equally as comfortable to wear. The Vagabonds are more weighted, but really the eBay boots are of a very good quality.

So if you are thinking of investing in a heeled Chelsea boot, get these! They are great for how much they cost, and save you a significant amount of money.

Thank me later...

Lil' bit of peplum

Hello there!

First blog post from me. Bit confused as to what's going on but I'll give it a go!

So I've never really been into peplum, mainly because I have quite a straight body and literally no hips so it always looks baggy. But a cheeky sale buy from River Island changed all of that... (suspense).

I got this white peplum top number for £6 (yes, £6!) down from £28 in the River Island Christmas sale. I teamed it up with a gold and black belt (also from River Island) to try and create the illusion that I have hips. 

It was my friends 18th birthday so I decided to wear the top. I wore it with a black body con skirt and tights, with my favourite favourite boots ever (blog post on them coming soon). It resulted in a basic look, which doesn't look too over done or too underdone. Perfect for a night out to the pub!

Please ignore my embarrassing pout!
