Fun in the Sun with Young Ted!!

 Hi Everyone,

I'm just popping buy to introduce you to a fab new t-shirt brand that is about to make it big!

Young Ted Clothing

They do an awesome range of t-shirts, for women, men and kids

all cute and quirky, and all designed/printed in Britain.

 I was kindly given one of their classic logo tees to review in white

I chose a size XL - being a size 14 and not liking things too tight and it was a perfect fit!

Super soft and comfy and really well printed :)

 They have a great range of colours to choose from

and are releasing new designs by the day!

Their kids t-shirts are particularly cute,

and I can imagine it would be great to wear all matching tees on a family day out!

They also have a range of british themed tees,

mustaches and glasses anyone? Yes Please!!

There really is something for everyone,

and its deffo worth checking out for the man in your life, they'd make great gifts.

 Their prices are super reasonable,

and they currently have free delivery,

so why not go have a look?

Its always a great day to wear a Young Ted t-shirt!

Fashion Fix: Funky Bling Jewellery

Hey there readers,

A bit of a different post here today,

I thought I'd introduce you to a brand I have fallen in LOVE with

Funky Bling!

Through the joys of the internet I got in touch with the lovely lady behind Funky Bling

as I wanted to find where I could buy her jewelery online,

and the answer was you couldn't!

Funky Bling pieces have been spotted on some MAJOR celebs, 

(including Nicki Minaj, Little Mix, Will.I.Am)

and I wanted to get my mitts on some.

To cut a long story short, we became friends,

and I helped her out with some web design,

and she now has a web shop www.funkybling.bigcartel.com

YAY

 

She makes amazing cuffs & necklaces, all made from laser cut acrylic

in various styles and colours, saying whatever you like!

The prices vary depending on how many Swarofski Crystals are added

( for me you can never have to many)

But prices start at around £55 for the smaller necklaces

up to around £160 for the fully 'blinged' custom cuffs.

I was kindly sent some pieces as payment for my work

and OMG I love them, I'm such a lucky girl :)

I got the Dream On Necklace

and a Fully Blinged Custom Cuff saying 'Milly'

I stuck with black and white so they would be easy to team 

with anything in my wardrobe.

Can you tell I'm chuffed with them :D

The dream on necklace is the same one that Little Mix wore on the Xfactor,

except theirs said Little Mix obvs!

So yes,

This brand is about to hit the big time,

having been featured in many magazines including Vogue (swoon)

and the lovely lady behind it is beautiful and awesome too!

I definitely recommend them

Check out their Facebook Twitter & Shop

Muchos Love

*Jewellery was given to me as payment for some web/graphic design work. All opinions are my own and I would neither work for nor promote a brand I didn't genuinely love. Funky Bling is awesome. Full Stop ;)

Fashion Fix: Topshop's Take on the Furla Candy Bag

If you're anything like me,

you will have spotted the Furla Candy Bag everywhere last summer.

I loved them, kitsch plastic colourful bags

what's not to like!

 I had looked into getting one, but with an RRP of £200 it wasn't meant to be

Well, Imagine my joy when this week I spotted these similar bags on Topshop.com

In a range of colours and shapes, topshop have really had a great go at the jelly bag trend.

This shape is so similar to the Candy Bag, that it would be rude not to get it!

Although I love the bright colours,

I'm also quite taken by this cream / nude style

They would all be great for SS12

See all the styles here (check out the rucksack versions too)

what do you think of toppers designer remake??

Fashion Fix: Tesco Clothing

 Hi guys,

I'm sure you've all noticed the change in weather recently

and for me this has prompted much drooling over autumn winter clothes

This year I'm on a strict budget (well I shouldn't be spending anything really)

So I've been looking for some bargains,

and I've found loads that I would love to buy

(O.K so I HAVE bought some of them)

Clothing at Tesco (Florence and Fred)

Seriously some of their stuff is really good

I've really been surprised at how great everything is!

(and before anyone ask this is NOT a sponsored post!)

 

F&F Navajo open Front Cardigan £18

I love these two cardigans,

a great Navajo print, at a really good price

they could easily pass for ASOS!

F&F Navajo open Front Cardigan £18 

 F&F Navajo Skirt £14

Similarly these two knitted Navajo skirts are gorgeous

they'd look great teamed with black legggings

brown boots and a snuggley cape

 F&F Navajo Skirt £14

 F&F Navajo Jumper £16

Wow they're really on the Navajo bandwagon aren't they!

Well all the better for us!

I like the really bold pattern on these two jumpers :)

 

F&F Navajo Jumper £16

 

F&F Sleeveless Cardigan £14

I bought this great fringed knitted waistcoat

last week, and it's amazing!

You'd never guess it was from Tesco, it feels good quality

and best of all it looks really good on!

 

 Amy of Paris Cowl Neck Poncho £20 (reduced from £40)

At £40 this poncho was overpriced

but at 50% off it's a much better deal!

The fairisle print is great

and I bet it's really warm

 

F&F Limited Edition Graphic Dress £12 (reduced from £18)

This is another item I actually bought!

I love a graphic print and this is no exception

it's really flattering on and is really comfy.

 

F&F Limited Edition Knitted Dress £13.50 (reduced from £20)

This knitted holey dress is really designer looking

it reminds me of Mark Fast's knitted and crocheted designs

and at £13.50 it's a steal!

 

Rock & Revival Elusive Skull Print Leggings £9.00 (reduced from £18)

I'm partial to anything with skulls on (in case you haven't noticed)

and these leggings are no exception

Skull print leggings..... what could be better?

 F&F Biker Boot £15

These waxy leather look biker boots come in black and brown

I bought them in black and they are so so comfy

they also look a lot more expensive than they were!

Great for walking or mucking about in as it doesn't matter if they get trashed!

F&F A Line Animal Print Dress £8 (reduced from £16)

This leopard print dress is very 60's looking

I bought this, and can see myself wearing it alot this autumn

 

F&F Midi Pencil Skirt £6 (reduced from £12)

I bought this too, eep save me from myself

but seriously I've wanted a leopard print pencil skirt for ages

it's very pin-up style, can be dressed up or down

and at £6 it'd be rude to say no!

F&F Limited Edition Star print Chiffon Shirt £20

Brand new in are these two star print items

Very Chanel S/S 08 and Dolce & Gabanna A/W 11

I resisted as they are full price

but I'll keep an eye out for them when the sales start!

F&F Limited Edition Star Print Chiffon Tea Dress £25

Wow that ended up a long post

and it took me a good few hours to do so I hope you guys like it :)

Lastly for £10 off your tesco Clothing order of £40 or more

use the Code AW-LFW when you check out (valid until 2nd October)

Plus Free Delivery when you spend £50 (after any discounts)

What trends will you be wearing this A/W

have any shops suprised you with what they have in store?

xXx

Fashion Fix: Awesome Aztec & Nice Navajo

 I was a huge fan of the Aztec & Navajo prints

that were around last A/W, 

but I love the ones this year even more

Here is my guide to the best items I've found:

Aztec Pattern Coat £100 ASOS

Not cheap, but I love the style of it, and it would be lovely and warm

maybe wait for a money off code?

Pendleton Meets Opening Ceremony Military Cardigan Coat 

£236 reduced from £592 ASOS

OK so this is a serious investment piece

But if you can afford it go for it, it will last you a lifetime

Aztec Borg Hooded Parker £75 Topshop

This is very similar to a leopard print one I bought from topshop last year,

the fleecey lining in the hood is to die for!

I like that the pattern in a little more subdued on this one.

Blue Print Faux Fur Aztec Coat £85 River Island

This coat is a bit more unique than the others which I really like,

The colour combination and the fur around the hood make it a bit different

Navajo Blanket Duffle Coat £125 Urban Outfitters

This is probably my favourite out of the bunch,

The prefect combination of navajo, duffle, parka and blanket!

Red & Grey Aztec Print Cape £40 River Island

I bought two aztec capes from Topshop last year

and they are amazing, It's like walking round in a blanket,

very comfy, fashion forward and flattering

especially with a belt!

Woven Aztec Satchel £45 Urban Outfitters

This is a great way to add colour to a plain outfit

I just wish the handles were real leather

Backpack with Aztec Print £35 ASOS

I actually found this in the men's section!

don't be afraid stray from women's items when looking for accessories

nobody would ever know!

Printed Leggings £20 Topshop

As you may know I'm not adverse to some funky leggings in my life

And these printed ones from Topshop are great to wear with a baggy t-shirt

and some high-tops, channelling the 80's vibe :)

Grey Aztec Print Leggings £22 River Island

If you fancy something a bit more subtle

this pair in neutral tones are great!

Black Aztec Print Tapered Leg Trousers £22 River Island

I love these,

they could be really smartened up for a night out with a black vest top,

a pair of heels and a clutch bag!

BDG Printed Rib Knit Leggings £24 Urban Outfitters

These look fab,

great as pyjama bottoms or just lounging round the house

these long john style leggings look so comfy

Thats everything folks,

Please let me know what you think of this kind of post,

as I'm forever finding great items to buy, and cant afford

so I might as well share them with you guys right? :)
