My Picks of the Black Friday Sales

22/11/2017

I haven’t done a wishlist type post for months (I think the last one was a birthday wishlist back in March!) and with my inbox filled to the brim with messages about the upcoming Black Friday sales (it’s this Friday in case you haven’t heard), I thought it would be a great time to get a wishlist post out there for you all and also to have a Christmas list for Aaron to refer to – mainly to save his sanity with me badgering on about the 20,000 things I’d like for Christmas but never remembering what I want when he asks me lol.
Now, I want to get this straight with all my UK readers – BLACK FRIDAY IN THE UK MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE! It follows an American holiday (Thanksgiving) which we don’t celebrate here, it’s a just a big old excuse to have a huge sale not long before Christmas to earn everyone some extra cash.
Okay, with that little rant out of the way, here are some of my top picks in celebration of a sale we shouldn’t be jumping on board with, but do anyway 😉




Petite Nancy Fur Collar Coat – now £49 Topshop

I am obsessed with these tailored style coats at the moment and haven’t got a nice grey coloured one yet – this would be perfect styled with some black skinny jeans, chunky knit jumper and my black DM’s (which go with everything obvs).
Petite Romance Ruffle Dress – now £20 Topshop

I absolutely love the ruffles, the mixture in print colours and the floatiness of this! It could be worn in both Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer depending on how you style it! Perfect with a pair of sandals or great with a pair of tights and boots!





Boutique Luci Sequin Dress – £35 Boohoo
2017-11-22 (2)
When it comes to the festive season, I’m a huge sucker for a sparkly dress – if I think back to all of the dresses I’ve worn to Christmas parties, the majority have been covered in sequins or had some kind of shine to them and this just shows it!
Black Jersey Pyjamas – £18 Boohoo 
2017-11-22 (3)
I’ve been watching a lot of Keeping up with the Kardashians lately (make sure to check out what I learnt from binge watching it here) and I kept on seeing them wearing this style of pyjama which I thought would be perfect for the colder months!
Black Leather Premium Boho Flap Bag – £ 70 Topshop

I don’t really need another bag after investing in my Michael Kors one, but this is beautiful and as it’s real leather you know it’s going to not only last, but age well too.
Soft Chunky Knit Jumper Dress – £25 Boohoo
2017-11-22 (5)
I love this colour for Autumn Winter and think this would look sassy AF with some black tights, DM’s and the grey coat at the top of this post!
And there you have it! A few of my picks from the Black Friday sales for 2017!

Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
Hello strangers! Thought I should pop on here and Hello strangers! Thought I should pop on here and let you all know I haven’t forgotten about this online world, I’ve just needed some time to myself after almost 5 years of continuous life sharing! I also haven’t been heading off anywhere glam or buying much to share on here, so today’s snap is a bit of a throw back to just before the first lockdown when I found this gorgeous wool blazer in @british_heart_foundation from @poloralphlauren 🥰 how are you all and have you managed to find any bargain secondhand finds?! ♻️🌿
I’ll be honest and say that I’ve completely go I’ll be honest and say that I’ve completely gone off of Instagram over the last few months and popped on here this morning for the first time in weeks to see if I could get back into the swing again. To be honest I’ve been so busy with work most days, that when it comes to having some free time all I want to do is slob out, watch something on the telly and do nothing - I spend most of my life on my laptop or work phone, that the last thing I want to do when I’m finished is churn out more content. But I’ve come to realise that’s okay - I don’t need to let my social media dictate how I live my life, or feel bad about the fact that I don’t have certain things, can’t go certain places or live a certain life - because social media (and especially Instagram), is where people showcase their best selves and not necessarily what’s going on off screen. I realised a while ago that jealousy isn’t going to get me anywhere; I might look at someone online and envy their life, but should be thankful (and am!) for the life that I’ve already got - there’s always going to be someone worse off and everyone has different goals or ideals in life, so there’s no use in getting bogged down when I can’t afford to go certain places, have certain things, when I’ll get where I need to be in my own time. I just need to carry on doing my own thing and not let the Instagram envy get me down ❤️
{GIFTED} Thank you so much to @kaolin.kiln for sen {GIFTED} Thank you so much to @kaolin.kiln for sending me these gorgeous earrings from her Etsy store - everything is zero waste and all packaging is 100% recyclable!  I hope you’re all enjoying the gorgeous sunshine and making sure your skin is well protected from the sun - you don’t want to end up tossing and turning because you got burnt and turned into a radiator in a day! We went food shopping and out to the in-laws for our weekly Sunday roast, so I’m now spending the afternoon keeping as cool as I can in the flat, readying myself for another week of work in the heat!
What a gorgeous day we have today! I’ve spent mo What a gorgeous day we have today! I’ve spent most of the weekend holed up at home, sweating my tits off and binge watching Empire, but it was nice to leave the flat to do some food shopping and have a Sunday roast with the in-laws! On the way home we stopped at a field near home to take some photos for today’s post and it was fun to try out a new location, rocking my #secondhanddress I picked up from @scopecharity last weekend!
