Blogger Challenge: Outfit for £50 or under

I decided to undertake quite a challenge..to find a complete outfit for £50 or under. I am known for my bargain hunting or "stumbling upon" as I prefer to call it! Where better to piece together a complete outfit than boohoo.com. 

Alot of the time, I like to begin with a great pair of boots or shoes and work my way up. The boots I  selected are these beautiful tan ankle boots, at only £20. They really remind me of a pair boots that Mollie from the Saturdays wears. 

I teamed this with a beautiful monochrome heart print dress with a pearl neckline. The pearl neckline really stands and makes the dress look very classic. I can't believe this dress is only £10. The detail in the sleeves and neckline alone make it look more expensive. 

The black jacket will make the dress "dressier" for day or evening, and I would definitely wear this jacket with jeans and a tee to make it more casual. I cant live without a black blazer or jacket in my wardrobe, it is always something you will reach for in a rush. This is a steal at £20. 

The whole outfit comes to exactly £50 and the best thing is, each individual piece can be worn with multiple items in my wardrobe. The ankle boots are great with skinny jeans or jeggings. The dress with a chunky knit, tights and flats and the jacket with all my dresses and jeans. 

I am always in search of discount codes for ASOS, Boohoo, Oasis, Warehouse and Topshop online. If you haven't already checked it out,Fashion Vouchers, have amazing offers and discount codes for Motel, Debehams, Boohoo, Boots and so many good online stories. By far one of the best discount sites for online fashion retailers.Fashion Vouchers

Let me know what you think of my outfit for £50 below! 

Autumn Berry And Sequins

I am going to embrace the winter the only way I know how...and that is with some new wardrobe updates. I just recently moved into a new apartment, and with the move, I rediscovered some classic pieces as well as some tiresome old tees, jeans and jumpers which have seen better days. After some editing, I am starting to piece together "entering cooler days" outfits. When rainy days emerge, I have a tendency to reach for any dark coloured clothing I can find. I definitely don't think I am the only person guilty of doing so, however, I am attempting to limit my dark clothing days. Rather than reaching for my black jeans, I am living (not even exaggerating) in my new burgundy coloured jeans from H&M. I love H&M but I love it even more since Lana Del Ray started modeling for them. Everything she wears.. I want to own it! The burgundy jeans can be worn with many coloured but my favorite has to be either a cream or a pale pink. I wore pumps with this outfit but when the weather becomes cooler I will wear them with black ankle boots and a black or dark grey knit cardi or jumper. I have my eye on one in Zara..dreaming of it as I type this.

Let me know what is on your winter wishlist.

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish

This is possibly my all time favourite cleanser..ever. I had heard so much about it, I was kind of sucked into the hype and felt I needed to really find out if it was as good as everyone was saying it was.

My skin is oily to normal. I am prone to spots around my T-zone, cheeks and chin. Like most products, I didn't feel this would help my skin but I was willing to give it a try. Within days I saw results however, it was only after using this product for two weeks that I really noticed the difference. I thought my skin was always going to remain slightly oily and with the odd spot here and there. I got used to it and just lived on with copious amounts of concealer. However, cleanse and polish has changed my skin.

I really am so excited about the results and the fact that it worked so well. I wish I took a before and after photograph. This is a product which I am just not quite sure how I would live without it again. I am testing out a Kiehl's cleanser and toner, so I am trying to do them separately to see which one was better. However it is proving quite difficult at the moment.

*I have no affiliation with Liz Earle or any of their products. I simply, love this and want to spread the good word on the skin clarifying results!

September Starts

September has rolled around sooner than anyone could imagine..it always seems to creep up. Over the last couple of weeks I have been so busy with "life admin" that I didn't get to blog as much as I would like. I am moving apartments, changing jobs and trying to pass my driving test. I sat my driving test for the first time today, and unfortunately, although very close, didn't pass it. I had set myself up for those words "It's not good news today" but when you hear the words out loud, I don't think you can plan your own reaction. After getting over the fact I would have to pay 85 euro again and re-sit the test, I decided I needed something to cheer me up. And what can beat a little retail therapy?

Candles definitely help to relax and I have a lot in my room, living room and bathroom. TK Maxx are one of the best places to pick up large candles at a really good price. I actually end up buying more candles than I would ever need so they are really nice as presents!

I love the silver heel on these shoes from M&S. I found them on a sale shelf and couldn't really leave them behind. The colour goes with everything and although I think these were meant to be summer stock, I would still wear these in the winter with tights and a dress or jeans.
