40 Days Without Shopping – Day 2

The Universe is taunting me! I got a delivery today from Boohoo of the final bits and pieces for my friends 80s themed hen, which I am very excited for!! Anyway, included in this was a Golden Ticket. I never win anything.. #famouslastwords Of course I win here 😭😭 10% off my next order. It’s literally burning a hole in my pocket. I so badly want to spend it. Lucky for me the expiry isn’t until April so I can use it after Lent.
Then, to add insult to injury, Miss Selfridge go and have a 25% online sale today! Is this for real?! Am I in a parallel universe?😭😭😭

This is more difficult than I thought it would be, and it’s only Day 2…sigh.

This weekend should be interesting!

Wish me luck,

40 Days Without Shopping – Day 1

Happy Ash Wednesday everyone!

As you will all know, today is the first day of Lent. Traditionally a time when people give up something, or many things, that they really love.

For me, that one thing, is shopping. I love it. I shop when I’m happy, sad, bored, lonely, excited, tired, you name an emotion and I will shop during it. Online shopping is a particularly dangerous habit for me. It’s just too accessible!

To say these 40 days are going to be tough is an understatement, but I’m going to give it a go!

I’ll be updating on a regular basis, so make sure to check back and see how I’m doing.

Wish me luck!!

Gorgeous Grammys

So what do we think of the outfits at the Grammys? There were some pretty unusual choices, but there were some really gorgeous pieces too. Plunging necklines were very popular. Kim K and Beyoncé both rocked the look. Kim, in Jean Paul Gaultier, got very mixed reviews, but I don’t know, I kind of like it, and I just love her hair!

Katy Perry was just beautiful in Zuhair Murad. She was just so elegant, and I love love love the Purple LOB!

My absolute favourite, the Grammys Queen in my eyes, Taylor Swift wore Elie Saab. Just stunning, the colour, the shape, the material, everything! Ah-mazing!

God Bless ASOS

Have you ever heard the term ‘God Bless ASOS’?
Now it could be just that we Irish are forever blessing everything (or at least it seems that way!), or it could be the fact that no matter what outfit you need, ASOS will have it. Whether it’s a swanky new dress for the races, a new work wardrobe or even just casual wear, ASOS has it, and lots of it. There are no restrictions on choice whatsoever, and I love it. It’s also a great place to get shoes, bags and accessories, you name it, they have it.
I particularly like their workwear, and the fact that you can filter by workwear (nobody has time to trawl through 20 pages for the perfect work blazer).

So, have you said God Bless ASOS recently?

You can shop ’til you drop at ASOS.com

As the song says.. These are a few of my favourite things..

Slogan Envy

Hey guys!

I hope you are all having a good week!

Slogan tops are really popular at the moment, and I have to say I am a big fan. They are fun, and a really cool way to express yourself! Whenever I see a one that I love, I’m immediately on the hunt to put an outfit together for it.

They can be worn in lots of ways, from over skinny jeans and converse, to a skirt with ankle boots. I love to add a statement necklace over a slogan sweatshirt, then it’s instantly dressy.

Top Tip: I find the boyfriend styles aren’t a great style on me, I prefer a more fitted shape, so I would always get these in at least one size smaller than usual.
