New Look 20% Off

My friend gave me a 20% off New Look voucher (which they are actually running online with the code 20NOVTREAT) today as she says she won't use it in time as it finishes Sunday but I'm going tomorrow so she kindly said I could have it. As a result of such kindness I have produced this post on some of the things I like in New Look right now. 

1. I went straight to knitwear on the website as I just adore it. It's finally getting colder now and this jumper would be perfect to just throw on and complete an effortlessly chic (cringe.) look.

2. Everyone and their mothers seem to have found their 'perfect boots' already this year. In all seriousness I am the only one left in dollies out of my friends. I seem to be particularly fussy with boots but without knowing  what I don't like about a pair or what, in fact, I'm looking for. Enter New Look. I think these just look cool. Whack them on with a skirt, tights, leather jacket. 

3. Cheap, cute and colourful. I'm not a massive jewellery wearer so I don't like to spend a lot on it but I think I'd be able to part with three pounds for this. 

4. I picked this because it's a purse in the design of an own. That.is.amazing.

5. These would be a great little present for someone. They're seasonal, useful and cheap so that makes a good present to me. 

6. I think everyone needs a pair of socks like this. These and Number 5 are in a 3 for 2 deal and none of the items included are that expensive so it might be a good starting/finishing place for Christmas goodies. 

7. These obviously caught my eye because of the colour. I've wanted some aztec leggings for ages but haven't spotted any perfect ones. I think these are so beautiful and bright which means the rest of your outfit can be really simple as the leggings do the work. 

8. If, like me, not sure you've yet got the guts to wear something as bright as the leggings before but want to go for the aztec print then these are probably more your thing. These are more toned down but still as lovely, they're also a little cheaper.

9. For years I have been after a cream cable knit cardigan. I've seen quite a few but not loved any of them or not wanted to pay the price they were being sold for. If this is as nice in real life as it looks online this may well be the one. 

Are you planning on using the 20% off code?

Finding the Right Pair Of Jeans With The New Look Body Scanner

Here is a link to an article explaining all about the body scanner. (It seemed a little pointless me writing one that would be giving you the exact same information).

What do you think of this?

There are impressions to be made

It is my sixth form induction day tomorrow! I'm not really that nervous because the sixth form is part of the school I was at for years 7 - 11. Also the majority of my friends are carrying on there too, so its not really that big of a deal. 

Sixth form is non-uniform, so that has the potential to get stressful! We have to stick to the dress code so tube skirts aren't reaaaaly allowed (despite the fact every girl in uniformed school is wearing one!).  So that means trousers/jeans/leggings. 

I have been needing a new pair of jeans/trousers for a while now. So i took the opportunity to order some for induction day, from New Look (their sale is on FYI!). Impressions and all. I ordered these in blue and these in the oatmeal, which I'm not sure about. 

If I keep any I will deffinately only keep one because they're expensive for someone with no job! Butttttttt, induction day is tomorrow and they're not here. Improv time?.

Today, I watched something like two and a half hours of Kardashian related programmes with two friends. Spending a large amount of time planning how we are going to marry Rob Kardashian..

American Style?

I was snooping around some clothes store websites. The usual ones for me; new look, river island, topshop, occasionally asos and some others.

To be honest, not many things had caught my eye so this look around was rather swift, until I reached asos. There was a little feature showing/advertising a new 'look' called 'All - American girl". The clothes the model was wearing were really nice, short-ish floral long sleeve and check skirt. I like the stereotypical (?) American style we've seen working it's way into stores all over the country, most commonly through the varsity jackets (love!), but now it seems to be a little less obvious but I love it all the same, possibly more. Anyway, I decided to take a look. I'm glad I did.

Here are some (a lot) of my favourite pieces/styles from the look.

The top three and the fifth are particular favourites but I do have a slightly strange love for tops like the one in the penultimate image. You know the whole different colour collar and sleeves thing, I think the love stemmed from watching so much one tree hill.

Overall though, I love the contrast between some of the looks. Being that some are incredibly girlie (not a look I usually go for) and some just aren't. The colours in some are a lot darker and the actual style is different but it still represents the overall style of all-American girl, if you follow? I would completely understand, given the last bit of that sentence.

What are your thoughts and opinions on this style?

New Look does a Mulberry?

New Look gives the Alexa a go?

I saw this bag whilst browsing online, as the roads are too dangerous and my throat too soar to actually be shopping, and it reminded me of the Mulberry Alexa Bag.

(A few little close ups for you as well)

They do it in black, tan and navy. And it's a fraction of the price of the Mulberry at only £24.99.

What do you think?

Chiffon & Grecian? ♥

Hello my lovelies!
Soooooo, on Saturday, I mentioned that I'm looking for a dress that I can wear to two parties coming up, one which is quite casual but dresses casual (if you get me?) and then another which is a little bit more formal. Well, I've been haing a nose around and I've found these two little gems. I can't decide whether i 'love' them yet, but they fit the type of dress i want, and they strike me as a little bit grecian stylee (which i do love). The second image of each dress shows how you can make the look a bit more casual, don't you think? I actually prefer the first dress, but then again the second dress is cheaper, so you know.

Any Opinions/Suggestions?

Hope you've had a good start to the week :)
