Another Day, Another Jacket

Another day another jacket, this one is a present I had at christmas from New Look.
Loving the navy look today, embroidered jeans are from Peacocks, jumper from New Look and boots from Primark.

Loving Jackets & Coats

Wore this coat today that I got from George at Asda in January for £20. Feel really stylish when I wear it and its ultra slimming and another thing it's a size 12 and I have plenty of room in it.

Walked to my weight watchers meeting today but 1.5lb on this week but hardly surprising as I stopped tracking the past few days. Been feeling a bit low so wanted to eat. New week though so back to it.

On the school Run

 I wore this last week, Maybe a bit over the top for the school run but who doesn't like to feel good about themselves. Wearing my favourite boots from New Look, Aviator Jacket, Gingham trousers with a black jumper. Teamed up with a Lipsy bag I got from Avon (Yes still doing Avon).

Select Trousers £12
Select Jacket £19.99
New Look Boots £10
Bag Avon £13.95
Everything5Pounds Jumper £5

Fashion Post: Style No. 2

Outfit number two under £50.

The Outfit:

• Jacket (Asda) £16

• Bird chiffon top (Select) £12

• Jeggings (Asda) £12

• Red shoes (Office) £3 - Bargain

Total Outfit £43





I couldn't believe these red shoes only £3 in a sale at Office. I never thought I would ever get a bargain like this in there. I love them and they are pretty comfortable, I think I will be wearing these a lot.

Fashion Post: New Style No.1

I am loving the khaki craze at the moment so I got myself a khaki jacket £18 from International and I couldn't resist this vest top from Asda George £8 which has khaki and pink flowers and the words Love Peace as that is just what I want PEACE.

My boots are from Tesco that I purchased in a sale last year at only £5 and the jeggings are from Select also purchased last year for £12.

More than I would normally spend but the outfit is a total cost of £42

What do you think thumbs up or down?

Friday Wish List - Week 3

I'm mad on shoes this week especially heels as they make you feel glam and that's just what I need at the moment even though I wouldn't be able to wear them for long. Wedges are a little easier to walk in so here are a few on my wish list this week.

I'm lusting after these tan wedges at the moment they are pretty high but very light (I did try them on) so it is a shall I, shan't I dilemma. Only £16 from Matalan plus they sent me a 10% discount card so I'm swaying to Shall I?

I'm imagining myself wearing these in the summer with jeggings or a maxi dress. Oh doesn't summer officially begin on Sunday.......umm!

Sherbet Polka Dot

Oh.....look at these from the New Look range called Babysham at a whooping £49.99. Definitely a wish item as I couldn't justify a spend of £50 on a pair of shoes I wouldn't be wearing often. They would look great though I'd team them up with leggings or a dress to show them off.

Bow Stripe Wedges

They have my favourite Polka Dots so who wouldn't want a pair.

They also have some ballerina pumps in this range see all at New Look.

Monroe

Loving these heels they are called "Monroe" at a reasonable £34.99 you can get these from Deelicious also on found on Facebook. A very tempting pair of heels, as they are quirky and it's nice to see something different  plus with Deelicious they stock fab handbags as well just to tempt you even more. 

Loren

In my first First Friday Wish List I was lusting over "Loren" Wedges (I still want them),I want both.

That's it for this Friday's wish list - please do share your wish list.


Come back next week for more.

Outfit No.2 Under £20

Week 2 of my outfits for under £20 from a confessed shopaholic and wannabe style guru.

I'm mad about dots at the moment so this will be a favourite outfit of mine in the coming weeks, as it can be dressed up with heels and dressed down with flats and worn day and night.

The Outfit:

 

• Black and white polka dot dress £10 (in sale was £32 at Dorothy Perkins woohoo!)

• Shoes £8 (in sale at Tesco Clothing was £18)

The whole outfit is for £18
 
This would have cost a whooping £50 but I got it for only £18, Definitely pays to wait for the sales or looking through the rails to spot a bargain.

I would love to find out what you think out there.

Friday Wish List

Oh so many things I'd love to buy, I'd love to re-invent myself with a stylish 50s look as I love the red lips, styled hair and figure enhancing clothes oh and I think these shoes from Deelicious would make an excellent start but £44.99 and I'm not allowed to spend boohoo! 

I want... I want........I WANT.

I'm a cheap and cheerful high street girl and love bargains so I can get more for my money.

Loving this multi-coloured animal print short sleeve top from Select only £12. I'm rather into animal print and liking this seasons bright colour look so why not put them together. 

Ooh look at this fab black and white striped dress this is defiantly on my wish list also from Select and £16 oohhhh! I think I would add red shoes and bag.

Chiffon Midi prom dress in green from Matalan.

This would be great in the summer with tan wedges and some wooden beads. I like this but I think it's too much at £18, I may hunt for a cheaper version.

I also like this Orange colour block dress from Matalan especially now I have dyed my hair dark brown. This is £26, I still probably wouldn't spend that much - told you I'm cheap and cheerful especially as I like to change my clothes a lot so why spend a lot. 

All those fashion programmes that say buy high street but when they put things together it still always amounts to £100 - £200, I don't have that to spare and I know you don't have to spend that much to look good. I remember going clubbing (going back a few years now) and I had complements on a dress I was wearing and I only spend about £6 on it (Sale probably). I've had whole outfits for about £20 (including shoes). 

Well that's my list of want's today, next time i'll put an outfit together for £20 x

Jogging Bottoms Are For Inside or Exercise

While I have been on maternity leave trying to get out and about i've seen so many mums in jogging bottoms, unflattering baggy tops, hair tied back and not having time to put make up on all blaming it on having kids. (I'd love to give some of these makeovers).
I've always tried to make the best of myself and I would never go out without my make up on because it makes me feel better about myself but a comment another mum made in a mum and baby group I went to a few months back said " I don't bother with make up as i'm not on the pull anymore" it made me so angry, is that what other women think about make up or maybe me....REALLY. I backed my corner and told her i've always loved putting on make up so i'm not about to change because I have a baby, i'm not me without make up.

I don't understand the attitude's of some women you don't have to completly forget about yourself because you have children.  Yes it is harder and yes you don't have as much time for you as you used to and yes financially it can hit you but why oh why do they make themselves look worse - I can't stand it.

Dita Von Teese

It is a huge life change having a child and you do have less time for yourself so maybe some days if I am staying in I don't bother as much but I still always feel better with a little make up. Which isn't a 3 hour job that people think you need, It takes me seconds,  while my little man crawls around or playing with his toys.  


I'm Loving the 50's look at the moment with red lips, styled hair and figure enhancing fashion wouldn't it be nice to go back in time and see women dressed like this every day. 

Women (and men) should make the best of themselves.
