New Arrival: Summer Haul!

I've bought quite a lot of lovely things recently,

(I got paid from my lovely new job so I'm feeling a lot less poor)

so I thought I'd do a quick post to show you everything!!

Jubilee Print Dress £28 River Island

I bought this dress a couple of weeks ago and It's just gorgeous

I've worn it 3 times, and can't wait to wear it again!

Unfortunately it's now sold out online but it's worth checking your local store,

and they've got some other cute British themed dresses.

Border Print Smock Dress £39 Topshop

This dress is so pretty

I love the floral print and it's 70's style

It comes up pretty big so size down,

and I'll deffo be cinching my waist in with a belt,

or it could look a little tenty!

Trilby Hat Ochre Sandals £44.99 Clarks

Clarks are currently doing 20% off everything

(Codes and info here)

So being a clarks fan (hello comfort!)

I popped down to my local shop.

I was not looking for anything like these but I spied them on display

and just had to try them on, and once they were on my feet

well I just had to have them.

I do not do heels at all,

but I can actually walk in these, and they're so so yellow!

Beige Multi Coloured Stud Spike Sandals £35 River Island

The sandals are ahmahzing!

I saw them on London Beauty Queens blog (here)

and ordered them straight away.

I do not like my feet very much,

but if I'm going to have to get them out

it might as well be in these babies.

Brown Leopard Print T-shirt Midi Dress £25 River Island

While I was ordering my sandals,

I came across this t-shirt dress

I think it's good value for £25,

it's comfy and looks fab on.

Clinique Chubby Sticks £16 (via Boots)

I bought a couple of chubby sticks when they very first launched

and now they've bought out new colours I had to go back for more

So I now have:

Chunky Cherry

Mega Melon

Woppin Watermelon

Pudgy Peony

& Oversized Orange

I just can't get enough of them!

I've now got my eye on Voluptuous Violet & Two Ton Tomato

What have been your favourite buys recently?

What Milly Wore: Fancy Florals

Hello one and all :)

I've managed to make a small photography set up in my room

So I can take outfit pictures before work!

Yes these photos were taken at 6:30am

This is probably the most organised I have been ever!

With my new job and all, I've been dressing a bit smarter

and I love it!

Earlier this week I wore this outfit which consists of:

Floral / Daffodil white yellow and green dress: Tu (sainsburys)

In the sale, plus and extra 25% off everything

so it ended up being under a tenner!

I bought LOADS of clothes from Asda and Sainsburys

so expect to see more on the blog!

Khaki Catwalk Suede Tote Bag: Jaeger London RRP £499

I love this bag so so so much.

It feels really expensive and is a great size.

and it was the biggest bargain ever!

It was reduced to £60 on BrandAlley ( my fave designer outlet)

and I had a £50 voucher (from a tesco points exchange thing)

So all I paid was £15.95 including postage!!!

It came with the original Jaeger price label on it as well,

my mum nearly had a heart attack!

Here's a slightly better picture of the bag -

Mickey Mouse Padlock Necklace: Disney Couture

Plain Black Cardi: New Look

Plain Black leggings: Primarni

Black long top: H&M 

(worn underneath, so I could wear the tu dress rolled up as a top)

Lightwieght Green Parks: ASOS (flash sale £15 ish)

Leopard / Dalmation Pony Skin Boots: Kimchi Blue via Urban Outfitters

Still my favourite booties,

I get nice comments every time I wear them

and they're really really comfy.

I didn't manage to take any more work outfit pictures this week

but I'll deffo be doing one or two next week!

What do you guys wear to work?

Do you get to wear what you like within reason?

Leave any comments below,

I love reading them :)

this is a great alternative.

the bright colours and prints are fab,

What Milly Wore: Purple Rain

Hi Guys,

hope you've all had a lovely week

and you're all getting used to the fact that it's nearly February and getting colder!

I was lucky enough to be contacted by Daxon

and asked if I would like to choose an item to feature on my blog.

Daxon are branching into Plus Sized clothing,

so I was interested to see what they had available.

As a size 14, I'm at that awkward size where I'm not quite plus size,

 but a bit big for some shops!

But as someone from a family of  *ahem* curvier ladies

I gladly took them up on their offer.

I chose the Suedette Quilted Jacket in Purple

When looking at their website it's easy to skim over and think that it's aimed at a more mature lady,

or that they are not very fashion forward,

but I really would no be so quick to write them off.

I really feel you can take staple pieces such as this jacket and add it to any wardrobe,

you can style up in your own way, give it your own twist if you will.

As I hope I've proved with this post.

The jacket is extremely good quality,

much better than you would find on much of the high street,

I was really impressed with the suedette fabric, it feels really soft and authentic

and I love the faux leather piping too.

It's so well made and is a joy to wear :)

As Daxon go from a size 14-36 I think it's a great place to try

if you are struggling to find great quality clothing

in your size.

In this outfit I Wore:

Purple Suedette Quilted Jacket: C/O Daxon £49

Galaxy Print Grey Cardigan: Asos (a few years ago)

Multi Galaxy Wolf Dress: Motel @ Topshop (also ages ago)

Grey T-Shirt Dress (worn underneath): H&M

Black Treggings: Next £18 (new)

Galaxy / Glitter Print Duffle Bag: Peter Pilotto for Kipling

Leopard Wired Hair Band: Dolly Bow Bow

Future Mystic Small Crescent Gem Shapes Necklace: Tatty Devine

Grey Suede Felix Boots: Kurt Geiger £35 Sale

What Milly Wore: Skeleton You Are My Friend

Hello there all of you :)

I've been at work a lot this week, so I thought I'd post an outfit I wore a few days ago!

Burgundy chunky knit boyfriend cardigan - New Look (a good few months ago) £18 ish

This cardy is super warm and comfy,

and I really like the shawl style collar, it feels a little like a smoking jacket!

Black skull oversized t-shirt - Topshop 2 years ago £20 ish

This must be one of my most worn t-shirts,

I love the fit and length, and anything with skulls on is good with me.

Black turban - gift from a friend

My gbf was getting rid of some clothes 

and this is one of the things I  ended up being given

turbans are great for bad hair days and are so much more chic than a beanie.

Black and white polka dot skinny jeans - ASOS 1-2 years ago (sale) £15 ish

I've worn these on the blog before,

they're just so easy to wear with everything, a definite staple of my wardrobe.

Nude coloured slouchy Padlock bag - Marks & Spencer, 2 years or so ago £35

Such a great bag, not real leather but it doesn't bother me.

you would never guess its from m&s!

Dalmatian / Leopard print heart ankle boots - Deena & Ozzy via Urban Outfitters (sale) £30

I got these just after christmas and I adore them,

 they have that fuzzy pony skin type finish which is really cool.

They are super comfy too, which I wasn't expecting. 

Hope you like it my loves

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

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

What trends will you be wearing this A/W
