January Sales Wishlist: Urban Outfitters

Urban Outfitters also have a wicked sale on at the mo & if you add the code 'SALE20' at the checkout, you'll receive a sneaky extra 20% off your total! Hello, overdraft! Goodbye, self restraint!

I love this edgy skirt and velvet wrap top ~ they'd be ace paired together, thanks to their clashing textures.

I'm striving to be a wee more daring with my outfit choices this year ~ I think a pair of pinstripe paper bag trousers and a forest green velvet jumpsuit will help notch my game up a gear.

One of the rare times it's useful to have itty bitty feet is when it comes to sales ~ size 4 FTW!

Butterfly bra > weekly budget.

Don't be shy at having a nosey through the men's section too ~ it's where I often pick up killer lumberjack shirts and Lenny Kravitz-esq tartan scarfs!

A feather tiara is also in my basket so that.. um.. I'm prepared if  I'm ever invited to a Las Vegas themed dinner party. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

If money was no object, this cosy olive biker jacket and trippy toadstool HoH jumper would be in my wardrobe right now!

 I don't know about you, but when I think of Christmas the colours red and green spring to mind & Lord knows it ain't Christmas until you've dug out some glitter nail polish.

Bonus points for kick ass names like Cruella & Absinthe!

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.

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?
