Sale Buys . . .

I haven't had much time to sale shop this season but did make a cheeky stop to Zara before New Years and a cheeky Asos purchase at the weekend..

I spotted the below black embroidered dress a little while ago and have kept my eye on it and now its finally in the sale I had to snap it up. Now I have had my eye on Glamorous for a while as they seem to have some really great pieces but just have never managed to snap something up in time, so excited to see what my dress is like when it arrives!

My second buy was another dare I say Glamorous piece, the below fab embroidered silk shirt from the brand, They have a black and a navy version available online at the moment but went for the navy, I don't know why but to me it looked a little nicer then the black.

Finally myy Zara buy, I was desperate to get the popular embroidered dress over the summer that everyone seemed to have but unfonetly they were all sold out, I did however manage to find the below beauty in the sale, just in time to wear to a wedding on the 30th Dec,

Does anyone else have any other good sale bits to recommend?

Festival Must Haves . . .

Last festival post I promise, I just saw these bags and had to write a quick post on them.

So while having a quick look for bags on ASOS I stumbled across these fab festival worthy bags.

Row 1 Left - Right

Row 2 Left - Right

Now two are bum bags, I know not very glamourous but have a look at these! Ordinarily I wouldn't go for a bum bag but these two are fabulous I love the embellishment detail on these. Again as I said in my previous Bestival theme post what is a festival without a ridiculous amount of glitter and embellishment!

The next two bags are across the body bags which we all know at a festival are the most practical alongside a bum bag. This time we have some sequin embellishment and some fringing. These bags will look good with your outfit no matter your style. 70's, boho, raver, and even dare I say rockers can pull off these bags.

The question is which one will you be buying?

Bestival Fever . . .

Hello Everyone long time no speak, sorry I've been away for a little while don't worry I haven't forgotten about my little blog.

So today is the last day of Bestival in the Isle of White, so to mark the end to the festival season in the UK I am going out with a festival bang!

Now this below look incorporates everything which I hold dear to festivals, glitter, sequins, fringing and metallics! I'm sure like most festivals goers we all know that a festival is the one place apart from an 80s themed night that is acceptable to go all out sequin style. So hopefully this crazy look will please you as much as it does me.

Now you all know I am a sucker for H&M and I am in love with this kooky sequin two piece. I like the look of the two pieces together perfect for festivals, or as separates for nights out or even just wear the top to update your work wardrobe.

Next match this tropical two piece with an across the body bag, this one from ASOS is perfect. A good size for all your festival essentials with the added bonus of being covered in sequins and even a cheeky bit of fringing.

Now usually I would pair any festival look with a trusty pair of wellingtons but this weekend has been quite hot so this time I have paired my festival look with a cool metallic pair of converses. This pair I am currently coveting for myself. I like that they change colour depending where you look at them. This pair will serve you well if you like adding a bit of colour to your wardrobe, imagine pairing these with a black pair of jeans, instant cool!

Next onto the make up, let's face it festivals are the one time you can go absolutely crazy, the more glitter the better. Think about accentuating the eyes with metallic eye shadows and glitter eyeliners and for the more daring glitter on your cheek bones makes a good impact too.

Remember there is also always a place for UV paint too!

Finally the jewellery, my go to is usually a good interesting pair of earrings (I'd normally choose quirky studs), stacking rings and several bracelets, the more the better.

I hope everyone has enjoyed the Summer and festival season I certainly have, I've managed to put three under by belt this Summer. Bring on next year I say!

Remember after all what's festival fashion if not bonkers and fun.
