Have a fashionable Christmas!

Christmas is fast approaching. And then it's New Year's Eve! There will be family dos, work dos... So many chances to dress up and lots of outfits to plan! It can get very expensive this time of year. After you've got the presents, how are you expects to look amazing when you're completely skint! (Even worse if you're a student!) 

Well, a sullotion could be the Fashionably Skint app! Ideal for this time of year. You can't wear the same dress more than once to all these parties! So why not borrow one from a fell skint girlfriend?

Easy and free unlimited wardrobe; what more could you want? 

If you're struggling for ideas her are some of the outfit I'll be wearing; 

Of course we've got the cute and cheesey Christmas jumper! I got this from Primark for about £10 and love it! So cute and great for a festive casual lunch or meet up! I have loads more jumpers to as I always borrow my mum's Christmas jumpers too! 

This time of year also means I'm breaking out the Christmas socks too! These were a gift for me from a friend last year; found in TopShop. A simple way to bring the holidays to your outfit. 

I also got these cute pj bottoms from Primark, ready for Christmas morning when I give my family their presents :) till now I've been borrowing my friends pj bottoms similar to this cause I loved them so much I'd steal them at sleepovers! 

This is literally my new favourite top from Topshop. It cost me about £50 but if I could have borrowed it from a friend on the Fashionably skit app, that money could have gone towards more presents! It's perfect for a pub or going for some drinks, depending on how you accessories it. 

This gorgeous sequin skirt was a bargain! I got it for £10 at Clothes Show Live this year and I'm thinking I'll save it for a Christmas work do or a dinner. Very festive and girly! I think I will borrow a black top from my friend for this outfit; save myself a bit of money! 

Those are just some ideas, I will post what I decide to wear on these events over Christmas! Happy Holidays everyone! Thanks for reading

Clothes Show Live

I love this outfit; comfy yet totally on trend

My goodies!

Well, it's been a week since I went to clothes show and I just had to tell you guys about everything I bought and saw! 

For starters, my outfit I chose was some light blue denim, high waisted jeans, paired with an oversized top that I got from a charity shop for £1 (bargain, right!) with a vintage chunky patterned, oversized cardigan I got from eBay. I had my creepers, my bowler hat and my furry brown handbag, perfect for autum and winter outfits. The final touch was my white frilly socks to bring some girliness to the outfit. 

I got a huge bundle of items, I got goodie bags from Rimmel London and Barry M, found myself a gorgeous gold sequin skirt which I will talk about more in my next post, a floral print, fitted Amy Childs dress and a vintage silk blouse. I can't wait to pair the blouse with jeans and my bowler hat with my trusty creepers for a grungy look! I also was convinces to get some cute colourful heels as there were only £5! But they really are super cute and will brighten up plain outfits. 

Going back to the makeup side, I got a starter kit from bareMinerals which is fantastic when on, feels like you have no make up on but makes a huge difference to skin appearance. I also got a HUGE hair bun that I will likely use soon to show how big it truly is! It's from the Lauren's Way range and gives a Audry Hepburn inspired look which looks great on those who can pull it off! I got some nail art kits from Ciaté which came with jewels, caviar kit, felt to make velvet nails and plain polishes; perfect for Christmas or any parties! 

Sorry for not posting often but I will be posting again soon! I promise!
