Be careful at the sales

The sales started even earlier than last year but coming from a gal who always shops sales on Xmas eve here's some advice:

The best way to shop a sale is on a need to basis...

My top tips for sale shopping are:

1.) only buy if its a current trend or a wardrobe staple (i.e. a good white shirt)
2.) a miracle sale item is when you have had your eye on an item and it goes down in the sale - winner, definitely shop these items!
3.) don't buy sale items out of season - it means they are definitely not on trend and u cannot wear then immediately. When it does get to their appropriate season - u probably won't wear it anyway! 

Happy sales xoxo

The best of 2012

I can't help but think about my most favourite trends when a year nears to an end. S/S12 definite favourites were print trousers and coloured blazers... In particular I fell in love with white.

My absolute worst trend and epic fashion fail for so many people (but not me :)) were dipped hem dresses... Lets hope we do not have to suffer anymore of those!!

Moving forward to 2013... We still have a few cold months... My newest craze for the party season which is upon us and the start of 2013 has got to be shiny leggings! They are being sold everywhere... My best ones come from urban outfitters! They jazz up any chunky knit, tshirt, casual boot scenario and look very cute sticking out from the end of a big winter coat!

Urban Outfitters - Shiny Nylon leggings £25

 

Urban Outfitters - Holographic Sequin leggings £38

 

My second absolute must is pleather (or leather depending on budget). Invest in a pencil skirt or some

shorts if you are feeling brave.

These Zara shorts are my Xmas purchase! Team with a Christmas jumper for an on trend Christmas Day look (avoid the white pins on the Zara website and go for some black tights and shoe boots).

 

Zara faux leather shorts £29.99.

 

Have a wonderful Christmas xoxo
