Makeover Time!

Why hello there people who are reading my blog. So I've decided that my blog needs a whole new makeover where I will be writing more frequently.  I am going to be launching it on a different website soon, so while I get that all sorted please enjoy reading my previous posts, tell your friends about my blog and I hope you get advice from here! If you want me to write about anything in particular, don't forget you can email or comment and whilst writing new posts, I'll bear your suggestions in mind! Write soon, Priya x

Sale shop till you drop!

Hey guys! So I'm going to do a fairly short post today about high street fashion. A lot of you guys have emailed me asking where the best places to shop are, and where the good sales are.  Well as you can see from previous posts that I shop in many places varying from Next to House of Fraser, Primark to Ralph Lauren!  

 

Well at the moment, there are mid-season sales going on.  My favourite shops are Zara, H&M, Mango, New Look and Miss Selfridge.  I can easily find the things that I need from there and it's perfect for affordable fashion. 

 

However, if you are looking for more up-market clothes, the best place to find designer clothes are department stores such as House of Fraser or outlet shops.  Online shopping is one of the best ways to shop because the website often has more sizes and more variety, but the delivery charge can be a pain.  Websites like Net-A-Porter, Selfridges and Nordstrom offer you a range of designer clothes so when looking for sale clothes, these websites are often best.

 

Sales can sometimes be really hard to find clothes in, but the best thing you can do is be patient. I know the feeling when you walk into the sale and all you can see is mess, you just want to walk straight back out; but guys, sometimes it's worth it. Finding that piece of clothing that you adore for a lower price can be such a rewarding feeling so if you love sale shopping then you just have to go for it and give it your all.

 

I went shopping yesterday to Westfield, London to see if I could get some new clothes and honestly the sales weren't all that. Zara had some beautiful clothes and I did have a mini shopping spree in there, as did Mango, but when I came home and went on the websites for other shops such as New Look and Aldo, there was so much more variety and I found myself doing more shopping online, than when I went into the shop.

 

Anyways I know this is really short, and has no pictures of my clothes but I hopes it answers the questions about what my favourite shops are and the best ways to find sale clothes! Thanks for reading and I will be writing longer articles shortly so keep updating xx



Yes I'm a Shopa-holic, no I do not need help.

Hey guys! I’m back, how have you all been? Finally my exams have finished and I’m back for the summer. For anyone who has done exams, good luck for your results! Anyways I gave you my email address a couple of posts ago, and after checking the inbox, I’m amazed at all of the emails I got! Thank you to everyone who got in touch with me, and as there are over 50 emails I will get back to you guys as soon as possible.  As I was going through the emails, recurring themes were: you’d like to know when sales are on, what to look for in sales and also clothes that I have brought in sales. So I’ve decided to focus this article on that.

Now, the best way to know about a sale is to sign up to the mailing list of the store; you can do this by going on to their website. Honestly, I must get at least 10 emails per day from shops. They let you know when they have exclusive offers on, when sales are on and sometimes they do flash sales which last for a couple of hours; you can be in on all of this!  Whilst shopping in the sale, look for things you like obviously but look for bargains. A lot of shops do further reductions a few weeks after the sale and therefore a lot of people don’t buy things straight away. This is clever to an extent, but if I done this, my size (6/8) are always gone. So one thing I have learnt by shopping in sales is that if you like the item and you think it is a decent price, just buy it; it’s just worth it if you know you will wear this top more than once and you love it. I hope this answers your questions to those who sent emails to me.

I have got lots of my clothes in sales.  Some of my favourite clothes are stuff I’ve actually brought in sales. You can see them below:

 

So as you guys might recognise, this is a Lacoste Polo shirt, and normally on their website it retails for £75.  Because Lacoste is quite an upmarket brand it is quite hard to find any one that sells these for less, unless they are fake. However, Lacoste does do a lot of offers. I may have mentioned before that I go to outlets quite a lot. I went to the shop located in Bicester, and brought this polo and a navy polo for £70, so this in theory this was £35.  I absolutely adore this colour, and the material is so soft. It is such an easy top to put in to an outfit. With jeans and trainers, this polo makes the perfect casual outfit.

 

 

The next thing I want to show you is one of my favourite pieces in my cupboard. It's a baby pink jumper with diamante's scattered on the front - which you can't see very clearly in the picture (sorry). It is so comfortable, however the back of it is just amazing.  It's grey chiffon, so it's put a sexy twist on the jumper. From the front it doesn't reveal anything but when you get to the back, it is so different! I haven't seen many clothes with the combination of grey and pink. I got this from Next which is a place that I hardly ever shop but will definitely start, and it was £12 in sale. It's so sophisticated and elegant.

 

 

 Recently, bodysuits have become a massive trend and I love them. I love the fact that they are tight fitted and you can wear jeans, leggings or even a high-waisted skirt on top of them. As you may know from previous posts, I am a big lover of lace. It's just so chic. I recently got this bodysuit for £12, from Miss Selfridge. I wore this to a fancy-dress party and went as Catwoman with black jeans on top. It was lovely and the fit was amazing because it's petite.  I definitely recommend that if you love bodysuits, then you should get this! The back is the same as the front.  You can easily colour-block with this bodysuit by carrying a different colour clutch/heels. If you want some more advice on colour-blocking, go back to the previous posts and there will be one giving you all the information you need to know! 

Basically this blouse is amazing! I love love love blouses, I must have atleast 10 in my wardrobe. This is one of my favourites because of the cut. It falls so nicely and with the colour, you can wear it with leggings and jeans. You can also make it casual by teaming it with a necklace and flats but also make it dressy with heels and jewellery. Would you believe me if I told you that I got this blouse for £5? Well it's true; I got this in the H&M sale! With summer coming up, I think blouses are essential because if it is hot then you can just wear a nice bra underneath and you have a sexy summery look. Alternatively if it's cold, you can wear a camisole underneath and a nice blazer on top.  Blouses are definitely an essential part of a girl's wardrobe. If you want cheap blouses, Primark do some nice ones in almost every colour.

 

 

This top is another sort of blouse t-shirt, chiffony material. I love this top because of the dip hem, it makes it the perfect top for a night out. You don't even need a lot of jewellery because of the amount of sequins. However there aren't too many where it is OTT. Again this is another bargain. I got this piece for £5 from Bank Fashion. Absolutely love this; I wore this top with leggings and silver sandals to a friends birthday and everyone kept asking me where I got it from.  It's got a twist to the average blouse because of the waterfall cut and the fact that it gets longer at the sides. Definitely going to be wearing this a lot more!

 

 

 

The last thing I want to show you guys is a playsuit that I brought from Ebay. Now when buying on Ebay you should be careful that firstly the item fits in with the condition you want (New or Used), but also that you can return it if you don't like it.  This playsuit was originally from Miss Selfridge and is brand new. I absolutely love this playsuit because its so fun with the diamantes on the white chiffon but moreover the shorts have pleats to give a chic edge; I am going to be wearing this when I go out for my birthday with the girls! I like the length of the playsuit so I can wear this without tights and with heels to dress it up or flats to keep it casual. The monochrome look (black and white) is very in at the moment, so this playsuit stays in with fashion.  I got this for £8, whereas in Miss Selfridge they were selling this for £45.  Bargain or what?
