HAUL: Voucher Codes Blogger Swap Shop ’14

So this is a rather odd haul post, as I didn’t actually pay for any of this stuff. 
Wait! What? How? Yep, these are the beauties I picked up at the swap shop I went to. I kind of just grabbed everything that looked nice and was in a size I thought might fit. Well I was lucky because these items are gorgeous and I’m so happy with my mini haul.
What did I get? I managed to grab two dresses, a pair of trousers, a t-shirt, a shirt and a hat. Although I’m not bothered whether something is branded, it’s nice to know what you’re getting. This little collection of items are from ASOS, Topshop, H&M, Dorothy Perkins and River Island. Those are all tried and tested brands that I know and love, and have bought stuff from in the past. I’ve already worn the ASOS smock dress and H&M hat, because I couldn’t wait!
I’m so happy with everything I swapped at the event, it was such a great idea! I’m really interested to know if anyone got any of my items and is now workin’ them. If you happen to read my post and did attend the event, link me to your haul post!
The items that didn’t get picked up at the end of the night were donated to charity.

Trend: Pretty in Pastels

Pastel Trend

The pastel trend is back again this Spring and it looks like it’s gonna be bigger than ever.
I’ve always loved the look but it hasn’t ever really made it’s way into my wardrobe.
There are so many gorgeous items right now though that that may change.
So I’ve put together some cute pastel items for inspiration.

1. Daphne Cropped Jumper – Fashion Union
2. Anna PU Pencil Skirt – Fashion Union
3. Mavis Tailored Jumpsuit – Fashion Union
4. Cotu Classic Trainer – Superga @ ASOS
5. Rabbit Ear Cross Body Bag – ASOS
6. Bijana Box Clutch Bag – Missguided
7. Shell Grotto Medium Necklace – Tatty Devine
8. Double Wrap Leather Bracelet – Whistles
9. Monster Phone Case – ASOS

There seems to be a lot more variety this year when it comes to the pastel trend.
I love the idea of working this into the sports luxe trend as well, with trainers etc.
It’s cute and feminine but it can also be worked into a lot of different personal styles.
I can’t wait for Spring to finally hit, so we can all wear it without freezing too!

Style: How to Style A Slip Dress

The slip dress is one of those trends that crept up on me. I didn’t really see too much of it on the high street until about a month or so ago. Now they’re popping up everywhere and I can’t wait to start seeing people style them. So I decided to style four different looks, all with the one same slip dress from Topshop.

Style 1
– Topshop Slip Dress
– Denim Jacket
– Black Rim Raybans
– ASOS Jewelled Earcuff
– Lacoste Pastel Trainers
– Cheap Monday Roll Over Clutch

Style 2
– Topshop Slip Dress
– Chambray Shirt
– Aviator Sunglasses
– Chain Collar Necklace
– Love Moschino Shopper Bag
– Kandy Strap Buckle Shoes

Style 3
– Topshop Slip Dress
– Rhinestone Necklace
– Smart Backpack
– Leather Jacket
– Tortoiseshell Sunglasses
– Thick Strap Heels

Style 4
– Topshop Slip Dress
– Knitted Crop Jumper
– Angular Sunglasses
– Striped Bow Hair Clip
– Snake Coin Bag
– Astley Clarke Stacking Ring
– Pastel Sneakers

I think you can have a lot of fun just dressing one item in a variety of ways. I prefer casual & fun coordinates like 1 & 4, but I also like simply stylish codes such as 2 & 3 at times. I think I need to get myself a slip dress now…

Wishlist: Staying Fashionably Festive

Fashionably Festive Wishlist
Sometimes we can all get a little too caught up in the Christmas spirit.
That doesn’t mean you need to look like a reject from a 90s Christmas special though.
This year the stores and brands are trying to out-do each other with their festive treats.
No I don’t mean mince pies and mulled wine, I mean sweaters, dresses and beauty products!
Every big brand has jumped on the Christmas bandwagon and are putting up their collections.
So I decided to pick 10 of my favourite ways to stay fashionable and festive this Christmas:

How do you stay fashionable and festive?
Do you love tacky Christmas jumpers, or do you prefer chic designer?

Photo Diary: Access All ASOS, junk food, Muji & more

As you can see I’ve keeping myself busy with pretty things…and yummy things.
I finally succumbed to Muji storage and bought some for my Tatty Devine collection.
I have to say I love it and I kind of want to cover my entire apartment in it and be super organised.
I was invited to apply for Access All ASOS recently and was accepted – hooray, and thank you ASOS!
It’s a pretty cool concept and I can’t wait to share more with you on here and on Twitter, Instagram etc.
I’ve been uploading my outfit looks more often too, including my personalised t-shirt from tshirtprinting.
I treated myself to a new accessory – some classy gold (amazing sound quality) headphones.
Not only have I been decorating my body (…with clothes) but I’ve been decorating my bed too!!
I couldn’t resist it when I saw that Primark had their pug duvet set back in stock, it’s too adorable.
Apart from that I’ve just been stuffing my face with giant pizzas and Halloween Krispy Kreme.
