Mid-week Musing

11th April 2012

 This is the third time I’ve worn this exact outfit, I just love the matchiness of it.

Mae clearly thinks life is a game of hide and seek; so far we’ve “lost” her more times than I care to admit to, she’s a sneaky kitty!

I should not go near shops when stressed;  I don’t even have a holiday booked yet!

Further musings;

– Bank holidays mess up my precarious at best knowledge of what day it actually is.

– The behaviour of the population will generally baffle me.

– Why does my town have NO mini eggs? Or reduced Easter goodies for that matter.

– I would be a heck of a lot more productive if it weren’t for twitter, instagram and online window shopping.

– Why do I never have time to paint my nails or bother with my hair; and yet don’t ever achieve anything.

What’s on your mind?

Classical

11th March 2012

My shopping trip on Tuesday may not have been a success for new season pieces, but for bargain wardrobe basics it couldn’t be beat…this “it’ll never date” shift dress was reduced to £10 in the Dorothy Perkins sale, and being the savvy shoppers that we are, my Mum snapped up the black version so we can mix and match.

I’m kind of loving these mid-season sales actually, yesterday yielded 2 pastel tees in New Look for a mere £3 each and an orange floral dress for £9.

So much for trying to curb my spending; I’ve noticed a lot of bloggers going on a spending ban of late and dammit, I admire your discipline!

Snapped up any bargains lately?

bread, milk, dress

07th March 2012

This might just be my favourite dress of the year so far; and it only cost £12 from George at Asda! I’m not one to follow trends as such, and I certainly never expected to follow the “scarf” print one, but when I saw the dress (and the price) I couldn’t leave it behind.

Worn with I Love Shoes boots c/o Sarenza for a manic Monday at work.

I had a good mooch around the highstreet shops with my Mum yesterday; lots around that I love and covet but everything seems SO expensive, and some of the materials out there right now are just horrible…oh, and every damn top/blouse I have liked is either cropped length or practically see through…WHY?!

What’s your best supermarket find?

Introducing Stud & Stud

03rd March 2012

Stud and stud is the online Boutique that was created by Parisian born Meryl Fourmon. With a Paris background and a London future, Stud and Stud is a great online platform for new and edgy designers to show off their product. With brands such as Simon Preen, Hayley Scanlan and Danielle Foster, Stud and Stud have a dynamic collection of some limited edition and exclusive pieces that feed the online shopping industry and bring new talent to light.

There is nothing quite like discovering a new place to shop online, especially when that place offers things that you can’t get just anywhere! Unknown to me just a few days ago, Stud and Stud has now become a firm favourite among my window shopping haunts…and above are just a few reasons why!

Price wise, you can expect to pay more than you would for Topshop, or ASOS, but then…this isn’t run of the mill highstreet and for such badass quirky pieces, I don’t really mind the premium.

What do you think? Somewhere that you’ll frequent regularly?
What’s been your best shopping discovery lately?
