Become a Better Shopper

Three years into blogging and my spending habits have done a 180 degree turn, I used to buy just to buy and I bought more because it was a bargain than because I really wanted it. I used to never invest in quality shoes and bags. Now that I have started buying better quality shoes (trust me your feet and your outfits will thank you) and I have noticed it's worth the invest. I am that girl that would rather have 20 pairs of fabulous quality and/or designer shoes, than 100's of shoes with poor shape and support. Thus become a better shopper: mix high street, vintage and designer. I don't believe your entire outfit has to be designer, as designer ≠ stylish. 

I don't tend to spend much on my clothing i.e., dresses, blouses, slacks and etc... I honestly do not see the point as shoes, bags, coats and accessories MAKE your outfit. Thus yes I will invest in a nice Coat, bag or shoes, but I won't spend £500 on a dress, as nine times out of ten you can find something similar on the high street, or Vintage (remember there is nothing new under the sun). Here are a couple of ways one can mix designer items and high street items to get an overall stylish look!

On another note I am definitely praying for the Spring join me! Have a great + fashionable weekend!

The Hat Pack

OutFit Details: La Fenice Venzia Pumps (here), Zara Dress (OLD), COS Peplum Coat (OLD), Vintage Moon Shoulder bag, Vintage Hat + Vintage Earrings get more (here). 

There is nothing like dressing how you want to dress and not how others want you to dress. I used to be afraid of wearing a hat or a big fur collared coat because I didn't want people thinking I am 'doing the most.' As I get older, I am forcing myself to dress how I want to dress, thus becoming more comfortable in my own skin. 

While a lot of us moan about getting older, I think the older we get the more beautiful, self confident and wiser we become. Not only when it comes to fashion but in all areas of our lives. Thus, if you were like me and have some amazing pieces but are too shy to wear them, start wearing them now, because we only live once. Welcome to the Hat Pack where we wear what we want....

A Sequins Fixation

Outfit Details: Reiss 1971 Jacket, My Favorite Zara Skater Dress: YSL pumps, Marks and Spencers tights + a Fendi Bag. 

This sequins Reiss 1971 Jacket is timeless and about 3 years old now. I remember when I first saw this jacket I was in London with a friend visiting as she was a PA to a celeb on tour at the time. I remember helping her arrange so many gorgeous cloths and I spotted this jacket. I thought it was vintage and well out of my league so I saw it and forgot about it.

Fast Forward. About 3 months later, I was reading Elle UK and saw this jacket noticing it wasn't vintage but indeed Reiss. I was so happy until I saw the price tag of £350 or so. I just thought forget it, I am a student!! Fast Forward 4x. During the Christmas sales in January I went to Leeds to browse towards the end of the sale season like I always do and something told me to go into Reiss. I did and saw that infamous jacket for about 70% off at £150. I tried it on, but thought I don't need this. However, when I went home I couldn't stop thinking about it. The following day I went back and bought the jacket and three years later, I still love it like I just bought it yesterday! I am definitely never getting rid of it. Lesson Learned never underestimate the power of a sale! *wink*

What amazing items have you gotten on sale in the past and will never let go of?

White Minimalism

Outfit Details: Vintage Benetton Sweater, High Waisted Trousers, Assorted Bangles, Vintage Ann Taylor Clutch, Vintage Earrings more here: (ZFSowho Etsy), and Mosaic Salvatore Ferragamo Varinas (OLD) .

I wore this white vintage Benetton sweater with these high waist vintage slacks. I want to hem them and slim the leg of the trousers in the near future to give it a more tailored look. But for now they are serving their purpose: minimal + simple + comfortable. Hope you guys have had a great week. I have been working my tail off between work, planning, + my own mini projects. Success comes to those who work + pray for it, so I am not complaining, I am just VERY happy today is FRIDAY!!!  

The Orange Leopard

Outfit Details: Topshop Sweater (OLD), Orange Cropped GAP Slacks (OLD), Vintage Bally Shoulder Bag , Vintage Earrings, and ASOS T-Bar Leopard Heels (OLD).

I am trying as much as possible not to shop, being that I live two stops from Westfield White City trust me it isn't easy, but I am trying as my wedding is around the corner. In regards, to shoes I am starting to get rid of shoes that I no longer wear. I dug up these ASOS leopard heels that I scored several years ago on Ebay for a mere £20. Mind you I haven't worn them in 4 years. Thank God I never got rid of them because the orange and leopard go well together. Am I the only one that finds it extremely hard to get rid of shoes? Yea I knew I wasn't the only one! *wink*
