January Sales Wishlist: ASOS

Obligatory "ASOS has a huge January sale and I WANT IT ALL" post...

There is a wealth of festive delights that are being flogged at amazing prices. Why not stock up on some goodies to tuck away for next Christmas? I can't be the only one who buys Christmas pudding pyjamas in January, right? ...right?!

TURKEY SOCKS... that is all.

These groovy tops are so up my street ~ the second in particular speaks to my Mancunian heart! <3

I'm sure you guys know by now that I'm a magpie for anything and everything forest green.

I've been on a quest for a new coat recently and although it's early days, I think I may have found the one! It's the photo below, look but don't be too obvious that you're looking, be cool...


Where have these magnificent sequin tights been all winter?!

This jazzy purple dream is currently on its way to me ~ love the garish Missoni vibes. I'm also super tempted by these eyeko mascaras, as one of my NY resolutions is to be more daring with my makeup.

Have you been indulging in the January sales?

Monday Blues #14

HAPPY NEW YEAR, PETALS!

I hope you all had a marvellous Christmas & NYE - mine was interesting to say the least, never a dull moment!


As it's the first Monday of 2016, I thought I'd share a quote that always gives me a kick up to arse "Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway." - Earl Nightingale

We're now four days in and if you're already struggling with a resolution, I hope this gives you a loving nudge. Remember: it's ok if you stumble. You don't drown from falling in the water, you drown by staying there.

Buy that plane ticket. Sing along with the radio. Know your worth. Ask all your questions. Sow your wild oats. Smile at strangers. Give people the benefit of the doubt. Send your mum a bunch of flowers.

& Always ask: why not?

My Nose Is Tickling Too

A dear old school friend posted this adorable photo on FB this evening. Some good Samaritan in Corfu town hangs out Father Christmas' suit every December and gets all the kids giddy. What a local hero.
