WANT: MODELS OWN BOX SETS...



Models Own currently have an offer on their box sets making them £20 for six polishes! MO is my favourite brand for nail varnish; amazing quality for drug store prices, what more could you want?! The offer makes them £3 odd a bottle which just has to be taken advantage of! Now to decide, Beetle Juice or Glitter Collection?

WANT: FOIL PRINT KNITS...

All Newlook

I am loving the metallic trend this season! It's super glamorous & feminine which is a welcomed twist to knitwear in my eyes! Newlook & Dorothy Perkins have quite a few styles available on-line and Primark have some amazing one's in-store, if you can grab them in your size that is (I couldn't *sob*). I'm trying to decide which colour I like the most & I think I am swaying towards the gold flecked ones. Either way I'll be wearing it with the sleeves pushed up & maybe in a size too big so it's a little slouchy. I think they'll look amazing with leather leggings or black skinnies with big, black chunky heels. Love! So what do you reckon girls; do the metallic knits get your nod of approval to be the first instalment of my new AW look?

WINTER WARDROBE PLEDGE...

I feel a little uninspired by my clothes lately. I seem to be shopping & spending money all the time but my wardrobe is seriously not up to standard! Due to my recent holiday I haven't really bought many wintery clothes (which I'm now regretting as it's got really cold really, really quick!) & my plain summer threads are still taking up the majority of the room in my cupboards. I'm also a major impulse shopper which does my bank balance no favours! I spend money on clothes that I'll wear once or twice then decide that I don't like that look anymore, not financially friendly at all! So this is my pledge to sort out my act, albeit a few months late..

I Charlotte, will start by ruthlessly sorting out my wardrobe in to various piles, recycle/attic/bin/keep/eBay, which will make room for my new organised, stylish clothes which I will put a lot of thought into before buying; do I really need it? will it go with my current style? etc etc etc. I pinky promise not to lose my bargain hunting ways but some more expensive investment pieces may have to be purchased to maintain the look. I will break down my new dream look into blog posts so that you can help me decide what is good & not so good, virtual shopping buddies! I will share my new purchases with you hopefully in outfit post style. Finally I will try not to get into a style rut again, it sucks):

Wish me luck ladies...

THE RAGGED PRIEST CLOTHING...



When browsing around the Cardiff Topshop the other day I was like a kid in a candy store when I saw The Ragged Priest concession & just had to share them with you guys. Rails of vintage & reworked clothing ranging from your basic Levi shorts to bright patterned mohair jumpers. It was vintage shopping made easy! I love this brand & it's quirky image; I especially like that the price of the garments were displayed on old postcards instead of the usual price tags, so easy yet amazing! 

The vintage stock in store was amazingly different & their re-worked on-line section is full of clothes embellished with studs & feathers. I'm tempted to treat myself to the Studded Shoulder T-Shirt & love the Cable Knit Feather Collar Cardigan. Have you come across this label before, what do you think?...
