Topshop Unique

Here are my favourite picks from Topshop Uniques gorgeous collection-

Dancefloor dress, £85

Squiggle dress, £65

Comb sequin dress, £110

Flying saucers dress, £75

Certainly Unique, don't you agree??!!!

Armani blazer find

I bought this blazer by Armani in the spring and still hadn't worn it, so this is its debut. It was £4.99 from the Sue Ryder Charity shop:

You can tell I was having a lazy day, as all I was in the mood to do was sling on my Uniqlo leggings and this oversized tee, which is Gap 1969 and was from the St Francis Hospice for £1.50

I'm wearing the Marks & Spencer boots that I got last month, they are really comfy considering I don't do heels!!

New Winter Coat!!

Its that time of year when winter coat shopping is on the agenda. Last week I ordered a black parka for £74.99 from River Island and although it fitted like a glove I wasn't convinced it was the one for me. Like the lovely 'Looking Fab in your Forties' who posted of her winter coat dilemma last week I also required something with a hood, knee length and warm enough for the school run and walks to work.

I was pleased to grab this Per Una brown parka, which is as new and as warm as toast as it has a feather and down lining, unlike the River Island one.

This was £20 buy it now with £7 postage, so a saving of nearly £50 for me!! Not just that, but no more searching-this sort of shopping is like food shopping for me, necessary but dull, LOL!!

What clothes shopping do you find is a necessity, but dull??

Layers and a LBD

In the summer holidays I came across this woollen little black dress, which has a great deconstructional feel about it, with an asymmetric neck and hemline which I love, as well as it being bodycon style too. its by United Colours of Benetton and was about £4 from the Sense charity shop.

My other fave find was from last week and was this grey top from H&M, which is just right for layering-this makes this LBD totally wearable for winter and its certainly a cosy, comfy outfit too!

I still need to get used to high heels, I'm only comfy from the knees upwards, LOL!!
