Onesie Wonder from OnePiece

20th November 2013
Well,
here is a post I never saw myself writing. Ever since they became a thing I haven’t been the biggest fan of the onesie…I’m not sure why but I was convinced they were not for me.
All that changed recently when OnePiece asked if I’d like to pick a piece from their site. Curiosity got the better of me and I went ahead and said yes.
I chose the Lillehammer Onesie as i just loved the nordic print and the timing of it’s arrival could not have been better as I have just been signed off work for two weeks following the weekend’s A&E trip and my ongoing back problems. No more battling to get tights or jeans on. If I’m not leaving the house then I’m not leaving my onesie! It’ll save me the indignity of having my long suffering mother help dress me at least!
I can see myself wearing it all winter long, especially during cold nights as another layer with PJs, or just to chill out in of an evening or after a long morning at work.
Once again I eat my words (I seem to be doing this often lately) I’m a onesie convert!
OnePiece are also offering a generous 20% discount until December 1st when you use the code 
31ADAISYCHAINDREAM
They may not be the cheapest out there but I’m pretty damn sure they are the comfiest. The last time I tried a onesie it was so short in the body it almost cut me in two…this one? Perfectly baggy and oh so cosy.
Let me know which one you go for if you use the code,
and what your thoughts are on the onesie in general.

shoes glorious shoes at Jones Bootmaker

19th November 2013

I did warn you there would be a lot of wishlist posts coming up on the blog whilst I’m still unable to take outfit photos (which will hopefully come to an end soon before I go insane!)
Anyway, there hasn’t been a proper shoe wishlist for a while and today I bring you my favourites from one of the best places to buy Ladies Shoes, Jones Bootmaker.


First up is a little selection of Womens Heels because I clearly can’t stop browsing at things I can’t even think of wearing right now.


The perfect nude pump? One of the best I’ve seen for sure! Also only £23.70 in the sale so act fast!


These metallic stars will be perfect for dancing the night away and at £20.70 you can’t go wrong!


Swiftly moving away from the torture of shoes I can’t wear I’m going to share my favourites of what Jones do best- Ladies Boots. I think by now anyone who reads my blog know I have a bit of an obsession with boots so it’s only right that I really focus this post on them.



The Seattle Knee Length boots in this gorgeous beaten up looking brown cost £145.00 and are currently sold out (I can totally see why). Should I come in to some money I’ll be investing in these as I can see them lasting for years. Perfection.



I love me a good pair of Chelsea Boots and these are divine. Also available in black and at £79 if you’re looking for a pair then I think these would be your first port of call….race ya for them?



Last but by no means least are these Osmond Ankle boots, £84. I just love the contrast in textures and the blue colourway makes a real change from brown or black.


I have a lot of love for Jones Bootmaker, as well as their own brand they sell other well known designers, some of which I’ve never seen available elsewhere- there are some killer Betsey Johnson Ankle boots available…



see?


What are your thoughts on my wishlist, and for those of you who have bought from Jones Bootsmaker before, how have you found the sizes?

Ikrushing on affordable party wear.

19th November 2013
So Christmas Party fever has hit me hard and I’ve been tweeting links to dresses I love like a madwoman. I’ve decided to put those tweets to good use and start a series of posts on affordable (very important factor for me) party wear and I’m kicking off with the web-store ikrush who I’ve only recently discovered and have been incredibly impressed with.
Black and gold is such a classic party combination and these cost a mere £14.49. Hello bargain versatile chicness.

This floaty little number is the perfect base for loading on the accessories and at £10.99 you can afford to go a bit wild on the bling.

How sexy is this sheer panel lace dress? I’m not sure I’d be brave enough to rock it but I know a few of you lovely lot who’d look AMAZING in it. £20.99

The obsession with Rose Gold continues and I adore this sparkly little number- would it suit my complexion? Probably not, but at £26.49 I’d be tempted!

£6.99 for these glamorous sparklers? If I wear the dress I wanted to wear but don’t feel right in then I am totally getting these. 

Likewise if I wear last years dress then I will probably end up making a non-needed but much wanted shoe purchase. I won’t feel too guilty when they cost £14.49

This is the dress I am truly coveting. The same as the Rose Gold one I just adore this festive red. It’s £26.49 and I’m not sure I can justify it when I have a perfectly good dress, but it would cover up my arms!

This festive red velvet skater dress would be perfect for day time parties. It’s an absolute steal at £10.49…maybe I’ll treat myself to this just because I can!
What do you think of my choices? Not a fan but still want a bargain then there is plenty more to look at on the ikrush website
Have you bought from them before anyone? Let me know if you place an order!

Babycham Shoes- with an oh so gorgeous giveaway!

18th November 2013
I cannot even begin to explain how gutted I am to not be able to do an outfit post wearing these shoes c/o Babycham footwear. Aren’t they beautiful? I haven’t even been able to try them on yet which breaks my heart but as soon as my back allows then I will wear them non-stop, even to the most impractical of places.
I hadn’t paid Babycham’s footwear range a great deal of attention since I last owned a pair (which were trainers) when I was in sixth form. Recently I saw tweets of their AW press day and realised how much they had changed their image and upped their game. A few days later they got in touch with me asking if I’d like to pick a pair and excitingly give one of my readers the chance to own a pair too!
Entering is pretty simple.

a Rafflecopter giveaway Open to UK readers only. xxx

What’s up pussy cat?

18th November 2013

Jumper: ASOS
Skirt: Primark
Tights: Primark
Boots c/o Shoe Zone
Yeah yeah, another cat themed item of clothing…I hadn’t realised my collection was quite so vast, oops! This jumper came from ASOS last year and I had somehow forgotten I owned it. As soon as I re-discovered it I decided it needed to be worn so I popped it on with this Primark skirt which I picked up for a mere £3 a couple of weeks ago. I think it was reduced because the sizing is stupidly small, I had to go up one from my usual size and it’s not because I’ve gained almost a stone as everything else still fits!
Whatever, size is but a number and nobody really cares. I love the skirt and plan to wear it lots. I’ve also found that Primark make the best black tights…£3 for three pairs and they seem to be Laura proof in that I haven’t yet made any holes in the toes!
I’m totally in love with my new boots from Shoe Zone. Their A/W collection has some incredible value on trend styles and it was these with their gold detailing that called out to me most. Their arrival last week could not have been better timed as my sciatica got worse big time and I’ve been unable to wear anything but the flattest of flats on the few occasions I was able to leave the house. Fingers crossed it’s on the mend now. It’s been five very long and painful weeks, I have lost count of the number of times I got stuck in bed, on chairs and other various places last week and I actually cried from pain for the first time in my life.
I digress.
Shoe Zone used to be somewhere I never shopped in. Now they are one of the first places I look when I want affordable shoes and boots. They last well too, I’m still wearing a pair from last year that I’ve truly put through their paces. Value and quality, that’s what I like!
Bonus shot of Mae who will go out of her cat flap but refuses to use it to come in again. She is being so naughty lately, any taming ideas?
