Dress up! :)

I haven't done any outfit posts in a while, so I decided that the day before New Years Eve would be the perfect opportunity to do so:) I'm probably not going to do anything mad tomorrow night as I'm still recovering from a throat infection, but why not dress up anyway?! :) Especially as it's going to be the first New Years Eve with my hubby as a married couple so we decided to stay in and enjoy a nice romantic evening :)
I have a few options picked, one of them I am showing you today. It's a black and gold loose dress from River Island. I love it because as it is not very tight it is very comfortable, even when your belly is full (perfect for the post-Christmas period ;) ) and I can already think of a few ways of dressing it down, so I know I will make a use of it.
Do you have your NYE gown picked? You should really consider more than one, as I'm sure that there will be more opportunities to dress up in the next few weeks :) There is nothing better to beat the January blues than dressing up and heading for a night on the town! I have found some inspirations for you girls if you need it :)
I hope you can find something for yourself :) And even if you don't want to spend more money, I'm sure you have a LBD in your wardrobe and you can just add some shiny, sparkly accessories and still be a star :)

And here are some other dresses from Asos you may like:

Have a nice day Everyone!

Sale, Sale, Sale!:)

Hello Guys! Hope you've had a wonderful Christmas! Sometimes it can be a bit of an anti-climax in that you're running around for weeks, trying to get everything ready before the Holiday season, cleaning the house, shopping, cooking, looking for perfect gifts and then when Christmas eventually comes, a couple of days and it's over! But...I still think it's worth it! :) It may leave you with few extra kilos, but nothing can take away the time you have spent with your close ones and the looks on their faces when they open their gifts, when you know that the extra time spent trying to figure out the perfect gift would be for them has paid off :)
Now here we are on the 27th of December, Christmas may be over but another exciting time starts... 'After Christmas sale'!!! :) 40%, 50%, 60% and sometimes even 70% off your favourite collections:) Its the perfect time to get something for the New Years Eve party or some of those Winter pieces that you loved, but couldn't afford.

As well as the additional kilos added, Christmas also comes with the risk of sickness and unfortunately as I have been stuck down with a bug I will have to wait a few days before my high street sale marathon begins! However, all is not lost as all of the online stores will also have massive discounts! So if you are prepared to wait for delivery (or have no choice like me :( ) Sale Shopping online is the perfect solution!

Happy Shopping!! :)

***Xmas Medley***

It's only few days until Christmas, do you feel the Christmas spirit yet??:) If not, there are many ways to bring it about!:) You can decorate your house if you haven't done it already, watch and old Christmas movie, listen to the Christmas music (before they are completely over-played :) ) or jump in your favourite PJ's and drink hot chocolate with marshmallows:) I'm all about Christmas, so I've been trying to do all of those things already! :) Yes I know these are not fashion related, but what the hell (!) I love Christmas too much to pass up an opportunity to post these :)

Here are some inspirations that may help you! :)
