Aloha! I've noticed that quite a few shops have got some big reductions on right now so I thought it would be handy to do a little post of where to look if you've still got some shopping to do this weekend!

1. New Look. They've got up to 50% off seasonal offers including a selection of coats, partywear and shoes, as well as buy one get one free on selected jewellery. Perfect to pick up a gift for a friend, sister, mum etc.

2. ASOS. They have up to 40% off winter warmers. They've got a great selection of coats, boots, knitwear etc included and it's for men and women!

3. Primark! They've currently got reductions across most departments in the store. They have reduced accessories, Christmas jumpers, knitwear and menswear. Lets face it, there's not really anyone you couldn't find a present for in Primark! (except maybe a cat?)

4. Marks & Spencer. There's 30% off selected items across the whole store right now! Big bargains to be had and again, you really could find something for everyone there! 

5. Very.co.uk. They have 3 for 2 on selected gifts, 50% of selected fragrances, 40% off selected brands, 50% off selected watches and jewellery, and many more! And what's better, they promise if you order before 10pm on 23rd December, your order will be there in time for Christmas or your order is free!

6. Accessorize. They have a seasonal sale on with up to 50% off selected items including Pj's, socks, pet clothing, and beauty products. Perfect for bargain stocking fillers!

Hopefully this is helpful to those of you braving the shops this weekend! I will definitely be staying at home!

Workwear Haul

Aloha! You may or may not know that I recently started a new job! Of course this called for a new workwear wardrobe! My workwear was getting tired and the summer sales were on so I went off on a hunt for some new items! Here is what I found!

Cami Top - £3 at F&F at Tesco

Okay so strictly speaking this is not workwear but I decided to chuck it in this post anyway! I'm really pleased with this buy! £3 is a total bargain and it will look great with my high waisted black jeans!

Blouse - £7 at F&F at Tesco

I actually had my eye on this a couple of weeks ago so I was delighted when I went back and it was in the sale! I've already worn it a few times and it looks lovely either tucked into a skirt or worn loose. 

Skirt - £14.99 at New Look

I've got a similar skirt to this from last summer but I picked this one up and couldn't put it back as I loved the pattern on it!

Shoes - £17.99 at New Look

I love these shoes! They are something a bit different from the usual plain black court shoes! 

Skirt - £3.80 at Sainsburys

Bargain or what?! I had a leopard print skirt previously but it got caught on so many things that it was ruined! I couldn't believe the price tag on this one so I just had to buy it!

Gypsy Blouse - £4.50 at Sainsburys 

I have a navy skirt that I bought recently and I have nothing that really goes with it so when I saw this gypsy blouse in the sale I snapped it up! I like the pattern on this. 

Cardigan - £10 at Sainsburys

I'm slowly replacing all the cardigans in my wardrobe as they are getting a bit tired. This one feels lovely and for only £10 I can't complain! It will go with most of my work clothes too which is always a bonus! 

So that's all the workwear I've been buying recently! Tesco and Sainsburys both have some amazing workwear collections just now! I'd buy everything if I could!

Blogger Secret Santa #1

Hello Everyone! During December, I took part in two blogger secret santa's. I really enjoyed shopping for someone I didn't know, and using their blog to help me pick gifts! The first secret santa I took part in was run by Becky at milkbubbletea. My gift were sent to me by the lovely Adrienne at TheSundayGirl. I love my gifts I was sent! 

The first parcel I unwrapped were these awesome cat gloves from ASOS. They have those little things on the fingers so you can still use your touchscreen phone without having to take your gloves off! Perfect for me, as I'm always playing on my phone in the morning whilst I'm on a freezing cold bus to work!

The second parcel I unwrapped was this lovely cat purse from New Look! I have been looking for a new purse as mine is getting rather old and this is just adorable! Also it has plenty of card slots which is a must for me! 

Also included in my package was lots of yummy chocolatey treats in the form of roses and milka! I will have to get them scoffed before I go back on my diet in January! 

Thank you so much to Adrienne for my lovely gifts!

Style Diary: Pick up a penguin!

Hello everyone! Yes I know the title of this post is super cheesy, but it's Christmas after all! On Monday, myself and all my uni friends went out to for our christmas lunch! Of course christmas jumpers were required, so here is what I wore!

Penguin Jumper- £12 Primark

Jeggings- £17.99 New Look

Knee High Boots- Old (they were about £9 in the Internationale Sale about 3 years ago)

I just love this jumper! I normally find jumpers to be very unflattering for my shape but this one is not like that at all! I've got a few more christmas events coming up in the next week, so I will definitely be breaking this jumper out again! It might even make an appearance on Christmas Day! 

Here we all are in our jumpers! Photo courtesy of the Granary Leith Facebook page! 

Don't we all look so cool?

Christmas Wishlist #1

Hey everyone! So I've been browsing the net recently for gift ideas for Christmas and of course I've spotted numerous things I quite fancy for myself! So I've put them all together in a little wishlist post!

1- Meow PJ's- Forever 21 £12.95. I have a pair similar to these which I got in Forever 21 in New York. They are the comfiest PJ's I own so I'd love another pair!

2- Cat Nap PJ's- ASDA £10. Can you tell that cat PJ's are my favourites yet. I have so many already but you can never have too many sets right? 

3- Tartan Leggings- New Look £17.99. Being from Scotland, loving tartan clothing is a given. I don't actually own any tartan leggings so these would be a welcome addition to my wardrobe.

4- Ugg Slippers- Currently £56 in John Lewis. John Lewis are doing a price match at the moment on hundreds of items and these are included! I've had my eye on these for absolute months so hopefully I'll find them under my tree this year! 

1- Hot Toddy Shower Gel- Lush £17.95 for 500g. Of course the smaller bottles are cheaper, but as this is a limited edition showed gel, you need to stock up for the year ahead! 

2- Snow Fairy Shower Gel- Lush £13.95 for 500g. I swear the price has gone up on this this year? I can't remember how much I paid last year for my big bottle but I didn't think it was almost £14? Anyway this is my all time favourite scent so I need to get some to stock up on it! I've currently got none left so this one is a must have! 

3- Morphy Richards Soup Maker- Very.co.uk £49. If you've been reading my blog lately you'll see I've been on a bit of a health kick. However, I'm not a huge fan of vegetables. If they are in a soup though I will eat anything! So this little machine will hopefully make me eat a bit more veg! Also it makes soup in just 21 minutes! Perfect for popping on whilst getting ready for work in the morning! 

4- I heart Cats t-shirt- crazycatladyclothing.com $26.99. I don't even know how I came across this website but I just love this t-shirt! It is just so me! I need to have this. 

So there you have it, my little christmas wishlist! I'm sure there will be many more things I come across in the coming weeks so expect some more posts along these lines from me! 

I'd love to see what's on your wish lists too! Leave me a link in the comments box below!

OOTD: kimono girl

    

Kimono*- Primark £10 (gift)

Dress*- New Look (gift)

Leggings- Primark £3

Shoes- Primark £8

Hello! Today is a beautiful sunny day so I thought I would wear something to brighten up the office a bit. I was given this lovely kimono as a birthday present and I've been dying to wear it! I teamed it with my cute black skater dress with n embroidered flower neckline, and my trusty leggings and black peep toes. I've had numerous lovely comments on my kimono and it's keeping me nice and cool on a hot day so I'm delighted. 

Do you own a kimono? How do you style yours?

Have a lovely sunny Friday everyone! :) xx

OOTD:Fierce Friday

Top- H&M (old) 

Cardigan-New Look (old) 

Skirt-Very £10 

Hello everyone. I've decided to brighten up my Friday with this leopard print skirt from very. I've always been a huge fan of leopard print so I just pounced (excuse the pun) on this skirt. I'm a little upset though as I managed to catch it on the buckle on my bag so it has a few pulls in it already :( I still love it though! 

Hope you all enjoy your Friday! I'm going to primark with my mum after work so expect to see a primark haul over the next few days! :) 

OOTD: rain, rain, go away!

Dress- Primark £10

Cardigan- Primark £5

Boots- New Look (very old) 

Hello everyone! The weather is terrible today so the tights and boots are back out the wardrobe! I've been loving this primark dress since I got it a few weeks ago! It reminds me of 1960's fashion. I hadn't planned on wearing this cardigan but it was the first one I found this morning! It actually goes quite well! 

I better plod on with my work now, I'm on a half day tomorrow as it's my other half's birthday so there's lots to do!

OOTD: A leopard never changes his spots

Hello everyone! Please excuse my messy bed in this photo! Here is another work OOTD. I really like this leopard print skirt that I picked up in the Very sale! It was a steal at only £10! I paired it with a plain grey tee from Primark, a cropped black blazer from New Look and my new primark peep toe shoes! 

No doubt this skirt will feature in many of my future work outfits! 

Happy Thursday everyone! Only one more day until Friday! Xxx

Primark Haul (and others)

Hello!
Today I headed into town to grab a few last minute items from Primark (and River Island and New Look!)
Here is what I picked up!

Elephant Vest £3

How cute is this?! I couldn't resist for such a cheap price. I just love it! 

Baseball Tee £3

This was in the sale so I grabbed it for wearing over my bikini at the pool on holiday.

Hat £2

Haha I got this purely for stopping my scalp from burning! I thought it was cute with the little cat ears. My boyfriend hates it but I don't care! 

Top £6

I have to admit, I'm a bit of a Pepsi addict! So this top suited me perfectly. I plan on wearing it for travelling on Sunday as it's nice and loose. 

Dress £15

This was my favourite purchase of the day! I fell in love with this dress, so much that I even had to wear it to photograph it! I can't wait to wear this on holiday! 

Leggings £15 from River Island

Obv not from Primark but I love these acid wash look leggings! I'm also going to wear these whilst travelling on Sunday

Necklace £5.99 from New Look

I needed some statement necklaces for jazzing up my outfits. So I decided to pick this plain silver one as it will go with most of my stuff! 

Necklace £4.99 from New Look

Then I saw this in the sale so I had to get it too! 

Hair Accessory £5 from Claire's Accessories

I've seen a few people wearing these and I think they look so cute and will look even better when I've got a nice tan and wearing my new maxi dress! 

So, that's my haul from today! Have you picked up any bargains lately?

Fashion Edit// Flatforms

Missguided high heel shoes
£28 - missguided.co.uk

Flatform wedge sandals
£20 - newlook.com

Missguided summer sandals
£20 - missguided.co.uk

Shellys pink leather sandals
£48.50 asos.co.uk

Pink sandals
£25 newlook.com



Hello Everyone! 
I've recently become obsessed with flatform sandals, so today I'm bringing you my pick of the best ones out there! If you are short like me, these will be your best friend this summer! They are honestly the comfiest sandals ever! They are just like wearing flats (well duh! the clue is in the name!)
I love wearing maxi dresses in summer and I usually need a pair of wedges to stop them trailing the ground. However, the place I'm going on holiday to this year is full of cobbled streets which could result in a broken ankle if I wear high wedges. With these, I hope my feet will be nice and comfy and my ankles nice and un-broken!
Do you have a pair of flatforms? What do you think of them?

I'm loving baseball tops just now. I've had my eye on this one for a while so I may just have to purchase it now it's in the sale!

Jeggings £5

These are a bargain! And I practically live in jeggings so I have to have these!

Tee £4

Uhoh, the cat theme is back! This is so cute :)

Jeggings £10 

I have the lighter version of these and they are great! 

Vest £5

I love monochrome so this is perfect for me!

Have you picked up any bargains in the new look sale?

Huge Spring/Summer Haul

Hey, hope you've all had a lovely Easter weekend!
Today I've got a massive spring/summer haul for you all! As you may have heard me mention, I'm off on holiday very soon (26 days to be precise!), so I've been shopping like mad for new summer clothes!
On Friday, I went through to Glasgow with my mum for a little bank holiday day trip! This is what I picked up!

Turquoise Aztec Maxi Dress- £12.95 from Forever 21
Printed Maxi Skirt- £1 from Primark
Plain Orange Maxi Skirt- £5 from Primark

I fell in love with this maxi dress and I just had to have it! It's just something about the colour! Also you read correctly, the patterned maxi skirt was only £1! It's in pastel colours and looks really cute with a plain vest tucked into it! I'm on the hunt for a top match the orange skirt. I've seen one I love in Primark but they don't have it in my size just now! :(

Sandals- £10 from Primark

I've been looking for some wedges for ageeees! I found these bargains on friday! They are soooo comfy! The platform from makes them feel like wearing flats without compromising on the added height (which I really need!)

Baseball top- £14.99 from New Look

Jeggings- £19.99 from New Look

I had some vouchers for New Look so I grabbed these lovely items! I've really embraced the baseball top look and I have to say, I love it! This one is really summer with the palm tree print and it's a really flattering fit! 

I love the acid wash jeans look but I'm not sure it would look good on me. These jeggings are slightly acid wash which I love! They only had my size in these so it was obviously meant to be! 

Ralph Lauren Flip Flops- £14.99 from TK Maxx

I love these! They are actually kids flip flops (benefits of having tiny feet)! 

Wedge Flip Flops- £6 from Sainsbury's

I think I've bought too many flip flops but I had to get these! My mum had a similar pair last year and they were great! As you can see I've already had them on! They go great with almost everything! 

White Skinny Jeans- £16 from Sainsbury's

Bird Print Scarf- £6 from Sainsbury's

I've seen so many people wearing white skinny's this spring but I've never found a pair I liked until now! These are the perfect fit! They make my legs look nice and slim (which they definitely aren't). Also they make them in short, regular and long leg length! Good job Sainsbo's! 

And how cute is this bird print scarf! I'm loving anything bird print just now, even though it totally conflicts with my cat print obsession! 

If you like any of my Sainsbury's purchases, if you hurry to your local store today, they've got 25% off all clothing, shoes and accessories! (ends today)

Pink Polka Dot Bikini- £12 from Asda

Coral Stripy Bikini- £12 from Primark

Plain Black Bikini- £5.50 from Asda

Leopard Print Bikini- £15 from ASOS

Okay, so I have the worst time ever trying to find bikinis to fit because I'm bigger than a DD bust! I usually have to buy size 20 tops and size 12 bottoms! Thankfully, shops are starting to provide for us busty girls! Of course there are shops like bravissimo who have been selling bikinis in bra sizes for years, but at 40 odd pounds a bikini, I realistically can't afford them! 

I'm also loving the fact that high waisted bikini bottoms are in fashion this year! I dread getting my flabby tummy out on the beach, but these work kind of like control pants! It's great! 

If you are like me and you struggle to find bikinis in sizes that fit, I recommend the following shops:

1. Asda

2. Primark (limited range of bigger bust bikini's)

3. ASOS (go up a back size though, if your a 34 inch back, you will need a 36)

4. New Look (Kelly brook range does limited range in bigger sizes)

Leopard Print Maxi Skirt- £5 from Boohoo.com

Leopard Print Jumpsuit- £4.95 from Chiara Fashion

I didn't get these on my shopping spree on Friday, but they were such bargains, they are worth showing! I'm not usually a jumpsuit person but this one is really cute and at only £4.95 I couldn't say no! 

If you've made it to the end of this blog post, then you deserve a gold medal! Hope you've enjoyed seeing my entire suitcase worth of holiday clothes! Are you going anywhere nice on holiday this year? I'd love to see your latest purchases, leave me a link to your blog in the comments box! :)
