asos top four

So far I've resisted the Asos sale. I've been browsing pretty much daily, but I've not caved yet.
In my mega window shopping sessions though, I have drooled over a few pieces that I'd really love to add to my wardrobe.
I feel like I'm going through a bit of a wardrobe revamp (as always,) and my style has definitely changed in the last two years. I love, love, love the 70s trend and I think that it's safe to say that even when it isn't 'in style', it'll still be with me. Bell bottoms, denim, button down skirts and casual t-shirts. I want them all.
So, above are my top four Asos picks of the moment. I'm sure I could have picked out a whole tonne more, but I'm trying to keep my shopping lists a little more realistic these days.
Gone are the twenty item wish lists of the past.
I hope by doing this, I may actually be able to purchase items from my wish list posts, instead of just staring at them, wishing they were in my monthly budget.

If you could pick anything on Asos right now, what would it be. Show me what you're lusting over.

This year we have Liam's works Christmas do to attend. We've known about it for weeks and weeks now, but only upon looking at the menu that got sent out did I realise that it's actually a black tie event.

I've been looking for a dress ever since, but unfortunately not only do I have the fun of finding a dress flattering to my chunky butt, I also have the challenge of finding something that will cater for my almost 18 week baby belly. Something not so easily done seeing as I really haven't a clue how big I'll be by then.
I'm currently 13 weeks and my belly is definitely growing, so who knows. Can someone look into the future for me?

I've picked out the six above from various maternity sections, but I'm still undecided. I really want to be comfortable, so I looked with that in mind, rather than being so focused on the black tie theme. I did also think about getting a non-maternity dress but just in a bigger size, but I really haven't a clue as to how that would work out. I also don't want to spend a fortune because I really don't know when I'd wear it again.

So let me know your favourite in the comments below. Or if you have another suggestion, that would be greatly appreciated too.
Hopefully I can decide soon!

Who are your style inspirations this month? Let me know below so I can check them out.

Hi beauts!

It seems to be that time of year again, the time of year when I'm wanting a total style overhaul. This happens on a regular basis and it usually doesn't even get as far as actually happening. 
This time I think it may just happen. 

I've been absolutely obsessing over Vanessa Hudgens' style recently and I think this may be the route I'm going to go. I've been reaching for my maxi dresses and skirts a lot, and maybe when I've managed to shift a few pounds, I might even brave a crop top or two. 

I'm also thinking of changing my hair (again!) Blonde is nice and I always end up going back to it, but I'm already sick to the back teeth of my roots. I feel I need something still as vibrant, but just a little less damaging. 

Nothing is set in stone yet and I'm still toying with a few ideas.
Let me know who your current style icons are in the comments below!

Hi beauties,
welcome to my newest feature, style inspiration.

Yesterday, I decided that I spend so much time lusting over the wardrobes of the well known, that I may as well do something with all of those wasted hours tumblr-ing and staring at WeHeartIt. I tried Pinterest too, but I just didn't get the hype.

For my first Style Inspiration post, I wanted to feature my ultimate style icon, Lauren Conrad. 

Ever since the days of Laguna beach, I've loved LC's fashion sense. I love that we were lucky enough to watch her grow, both in life and in fashion. I think she wears the simple and classic trends beautifully. Her outfits always look effortless, but so well put together.

I am taking a leaf out of a friends book and hopefully starting something new within the next week or so. Something of which you will see a post on. 
For this, I will be using LC's wardrobe as inspiration. Taking parts that I love and mixing them in with my own sense of style. 

I'd love to hear who your style icons are, leave me a comment below and you may just see them pop up in this feature in the future.

This morning I was sent an email telling me about a new style competition for bloggers. 
House Of Fraser has launched this comp with a prize of £200 worth of HOF vouchers. The challenge is to create a look for the next season with your top picks from the HOF website.

In September my Aunty is getting married, but due to several reasons I cannot attend. Seeing as I will be missing out on the fun of creating an actual outfit for the event, I figured this competition would be a great chance to create a look of what I might have worn. 

I decided to go with the gorgeous jumpsuit because as you all know, I'm not the most confident about my legs, and lets face it, it may be a little chilly in September. I chose to pair it with the beautiful scarf rather than a necklace. This way I could drape it around my shoulders if it does get a little nippy. 
Now, I bet you're thinking, but Sam, there's a necklace there. Well, I wanted something a little different and I thought the idea of pinning a super cute necklace into my hair would be stunning. Rather like a bejewelled, hippy headband. The earrings are something I would always choose. Big, statement earrings are my thing when it comes to dressing up. I love them. I chose a simple pair of heels, of which the heels are not too thin (don't want to be sinking into the grass during photos,) and would be comfortable for all day wear. The clutch gives a little more sparkle to the whole outfit and would be just big enough to carry around your essentials for the day.

I absolutely love the look I have managed to come up with, and I've loved every minute of this challenge.
Who doesn't like a good window shop.

If you would like to enter yourselves go the the HOF blog for more information.

Yes, this is something I never thought would happen, but I have become obsessed.
Tie dye clothes, bedding, bags, I want it all! 

It started a few weeks back when I cut and bleached some denim shorts, ok so it's not quite tie dying, but since then I've wanted to dye everything. I recently dyed my bedroom curtains (if you have been following me on instagram you would have seen the various stages,) and now I'm looking into tie dying my bedding. I figured it would be cheaper to do it myself than to buy new ones anyway. Although, I did see the most perfect bed set on ebay the other day, if only it hadn't of been £55!!
I'm currently on the hunt for some reasonably cheap plain white duvet covers, so if you know of somewhere I could get some please let me know. I'm going to hunt around the charity shops at the weekend, so hopefully I'll have some luck then. 
Clothes wise, I'm just sitting here wishing I had the money to splurge. I would totally do more fashion posts if my wardrobe wasn't so dire. When I first started struggling with my depression my style seemed to be effected. I started to dress really drab and plain, my hair got dyed back to brunette and I didn't have the confidence to pull off the kind of clothes I loved. But now I'm feeling so much better, my old style is re-appearing. I just wish I hadn't of thrown away the clothes I thought I would never wear again.
So what obsessions do you guys have that seem to be a little unrealistic?
I guess we always want things that are just out of our reach. 
Hope you are well.

Miss Demetria Lovato, I need your wardrobe!!!!
After watching the MTV documentary I have yet again fallen in love with Demi's sense of style. I literally want everything, from the denim sorts to the flowy hi-lo skirts! I think her mixture of girly and grungy is perfect and totally me. 
Who's wardrobe would you like to steel for the summer?

Hi lovelies!
With all the talk of London Fashion Week, live streamed shows and photos galore, I have never wanted to restock my wardrobe as much as I do now. 
Now you all know by now that shopping is the last thing I can do right now, so I've indulged a little with Polyvore. I've been using it on and off since 2010, but right now I'm hooked. 
As you can see from last nights play around, I'm really into anything rose gold, muted pastels and slouchy sweaters. I've recently seen a lot of this colour theme floating about and I honestly think it's perfect for Spring. 
I do on the other hand though enjoy a more grungy sense of style. This is where my personality shines because I'm always wanting to change my look. 
Dip hems are also going to be another big statement for me this year. I'd really like to get into wearing more skirts/dresses this year because I'm honestly your typical lazy jean kind of girl and if I'm honest, I usually feel like a massive scruff. 

What do you guys have on your wardrobe wishlist this year?

Hi Lovelies!
I've been looking for some new leggings to purchase for this winter but I really can't make my mind up! I've picked out my top 8 faves and I have 4 from each of my favourite clothing websites, so I thought I'd run a little poll.

Which pair do you like best, and which company do you prefer to buy from? Just leave a comment in the box below and let us all know what you think!
(Click Photo to Enlarge)
1. Lola Velvet Full Length Leggings £10.00
2. Annie PU Lace Panelled Leggings £10.00
3. Hannah Knitted Aztec Leggings £15.00
4. Lauren Criss Cross Design Knitted Leggings £12.00
5. Kiara Heavyweight Leggings With Suede Style Patches £18.99
6. Sabine Mole Skin Leggings With Side Fringing £13.99
7. Prudence High Waisted Leggings £9.99
8. Tammya Velvet Leggings £9.99

I think I'm swaying towards the Boohoo Aztec leggings because I'm crazy for anything with aztec print right now, and the missguided velvet ones, I can wear them with almost anything, a big oversized knitted jumper  or a tan coloured winter trench coat. 

Do forget to tell me what you think!

Hi lovelies, 
  so does anyone else have their favourite clothes that they always want to wear? Mine seem to change each month, so I thought I'd share mine with you. With it being cold and wintery, I would probably be silly to wear some of this stuff, so it's not necessarily stuff I am wearing right now, just stuff I'd like to wear.




What are your wardrobe obsessions at the moment?

One of my all time favourite things about winter, is the fact you can wrap up warm in a bit wooly sweater! I've already got a couple of new ones my self this year and I've got my eye on a few more. A sweater to me is the ideal in between for when it's too chilly for wear only a t-shirt, and to warm for a big winter coat.

Hey lovelies,
I attempted to make a quick tutorial today. The weather outside is horrid and I had to have my lights on in the house, but hopefully it's not too bad. I laugh so hard when I watch this back, I just feel really goofy and make some crazy weird faces.
Anyway, hope you guys kind of enjoy it. I promise, the more I do, the better they will get!
