Sunday stuff.

Good afternoon! Unexpectedly had today off so went into town this morning to sort out my new glasses. I'm very excited about them. If you follow me on twitter you may have seen me tweet about them a few weeks ago. I said something along the lines of  'I have fallen in love with some glasses, they are Dior and I need them in my life'. Well, they are mine and arriving tomorrow. YES!

Today I am wearing  F21 jumper, River Island pull-ons, Dune ankle boots, New Look coat and a Zara handbag. The lipstick is Natural Collection from Boots in 'Crimson'. My sister bought it me the other day and it's the best lipstick I have. She also bought me a pale pink shade which is also incredible. They are only £1.99 and in my opinion better than all my others which include Dior, Lauder and Revlon that are five times (+) the price.

Also, I forgot to show you my new mittens that my Mom bought me last week! They are so thick and fleece lined so my hands will be super toastie when I'm going to and from work in the freezing cold!

 

(The perks of working in a Department store!)

Also, talking of perks, this week in work has been a mega event meaning there are big discounts throughout the store, including fragrance and cosmetics, which I then get staff discount on top of!
This week I have mainly been buying Christmas presents, but I did stock up on my favourite foundation; Estee Lauder 'Double Wear'. I asked my followers on twitter advice on the best foundation and so many people told m to try this one. Now I have, I never intend on owning any other foundation again.

I buy both 'Sand' and 'Tawny' so I have one for when I'm pale (Sand) and one for when I'm tanned (Tawny) and when I'm in between I mix the two accordingly to get a suitable colour. At £26.50 this foundation is quite expensive but it is one of the best things I have ever spent money on. Working long hours and being lazy on my break I never re-apply my make-up in the day, but with this foundation I don't have to anyway. I use 17 Photo Flawless Primer (£4.99 from Boots) and apply with a Sephora foundation brush and then off I go. If you are looking to try and new foundation I DEFINITELY recommend you go for this one. And if you do, let me know how you get on with it!

I also bought these H.O.H tights, which I have wanted for well over a year and never bothered to actually buy. My tights are usually about £4 form Asda and so £12 for a pair that I'm probably going to put a hole in and soon as I go to the toilet always held me back, but they were £7.20 after all discounts so I bought them. God knows when I'll wear them though!

They seem to be pretty popular again right now with the likes of Jessie J and Rhianna wearing them out and about! I think it'll wear mine with my monochrome Tux jacket.

I love a good bargain.

haha, look at how bad my hair is!

This is my new over sized coat, that I have wanted for a few weeeeeeks now. Luckily I held off from buying it when I first saw it and managed to get it yesterday for about £18 down from £50. Love it when that happens!

Coat, white shirt & jeans- New Look, Clutch- Topshop, Ballets- Chanel, Snood- H&M Kids.

Other new purchases include this pink blazer & these snake platforms/

 I got these snake bad boys for 12.60 from Matalan, and the pink blazer was about £26 from New Look with a voucher. 

(Black shirt & jeans: New Look)

If you have an iPhone and are on o2, download the o2 priority moments app, if you haven't already. it features loads of good discounts from food and shopping to holidays. Currently there is a New Look discount code that gets you 25% off full price or temporarily marked down items. Thanks to this code this week I have got 3 coats that should have cost me £130 for about 60. GET INVOLVED.

__/11/11

hello everyone! This is just a little quick post to say hiya and to let you know I'm not dead or anything.
I've been working quite a lot and therefore in my free time sleeping (occasionally fully clothed with the lights on...), which means that my outfits have been predominantly uniform and pyjamas pants.
Despite this I have been indulging in a touch of online shopping. I have recently become a 'premier' member on ASOS and I can honestly say it's the best (and most dangerous) £14 I have ever spent. I am terribly impatient, and so online shopping is fine but the wait annoys me, so having free next day delivery for the next year is such a good deal. I have only been a member for a few weeks and I have already got my moneys worth!
Some of my ASOS treats include an Illamasqua nail paint in 'Obsess', a Stila blusher and an Illamasqua concealer. I havent used the concealer yet because I bought a darker shade for when I've got my tan on- which isn't today! The Stila blusher is so bright it's fucking ridiculous and I love it.
I also bought the light tan Chelsea boots but I have sent them back because they didn't quite look right on me, waaaa :(

Here is also a little peak into my (seriously unfinished) new bedroom. Whatcha think of the stag wallpaper?! Everyone I have spoken to seems to think it's hideous but I L.O.V.E it! (just look how excited I am!)

In the pictures I am wearing one of my new pieces from Forever 21, which let me say is becoming my new favourite shop- if you don't have one near you them check out the website, it's massive! I on the other hand work 2 stores down from it, which testing! This dress was £18.75 but I blagged graduate discount so got it for around £16. It was bought with the intentions or being worn for a night out but as I never go out I decided to layer it up for in the day.

The shorts, cardigan and blazer shown above are some more of my recent purchases from River Island. I can't wait to wear them. I have wanted a jacket like this for aaaaaaaaaages! You all know how I bloody love a good blazer.
The glitter loafers are my new Christmas shoes and they are Dune!

Hope everyone has had a lovely day!

"Hi Stacie, I have just got myself a new job and I am moving from retail into an office based role. Can you please give me some ideas on what 'office wear' outfits I can create? I still want to look fashionable and not too frumpy.." 

Here are 5 different takes on smart 'office appropriate' wear, that will keep you looking stylish and relevant. As opposed to going crazy with shapes that may be too much for work, or just be a one day wonder, I have chosen key pieces in different colours, finishes and textures toadd interest to your look.
