Last Post of 2019

I was hopeful of putting together a longer post for this week, but, as frequently happens, life just got in the way (I blame work, Christmas and generally being disorganised!), leaving little time for blogging.  

I do have some sale tips for you though.. Jigsaw, Mint Velvet, Mango, Topshop, Finery and Asos  to name but a few, pop over to snap up a bargain - it's always a treat to receive an extra parcel in between Christmas and the New Year.

In the midst of the chaos I have managed a little random browsing and saved my finds to share with you...

these from Mint Velvet

these from H&M

this H&M sweater

these mint velvet pj's (on sale!)

these Mint Velvet trousers

love this tank!

All the hearts for this Lulu Guinness Patsy bag

Have a wonderful Christmas!  See you back on Saturday 4th January for a full blog post,

And Remember

....so get out that bling and all those clothes that you've been keeping for best and WEAR them!

Back in Black

Hey, it's the weekend again!  Happy Saturday.  Let's hope you're reading this with a cuppa and a tasty treat.  This week we're all about the black jean and have we found some beauties for you.  The black jean is our latest crush - think Anine Bing (last three pics), and you'll get what we're aiming towards - laid-back rock chic.

So let's start with our usual inspiration, courtesy of Pinterest and many hours of browsing...

And here are the highstreetedited favourites,all available online at the time of writing..

John Lewis Straight Leg Jeans £59
I have these and they fit true to size.

Levis 724 Straight Leg Jean £85
I'm seriously tempted by these...

Matalan Mom Jeans £16
Great budget pair

Baukjen Boyfriend Jean £99
I have a pair of their blue jeans and they fit well. I would recommend trying a size down as they are quite generous.

Rag & Bone Skinny Jeans £94
Discounted from the Outnet

Rag & Bone Straight Jeans £108
Discounted from the Outnet

River Island Black Cord Mom Jeans £30

River Island Mom Fit Jeans £35
Size up - River Island sizing isn't generous!

Topshop Editor Jean £49
True to size 

Levis Ribcage Straight Ankle Jeans £95

Dr Denim Nora High Rise Mom Jean £55
Love the button fly.

Other Stories Straight High Rise Jeans £65
I've not tried Other Stories jean before, but these look good.

How to Style?  We'll be wearing ours with a leopard jacket from last week's post, black boots, (here's an alternative) and a cashmere sweater.  What's your preference on styling a black jean?

See you next Saturday, have a wonderful week,

Last Minute Sales Buys

I spent a few hours browsing yesterday as I lay feeling sorry for myself on the sofa, after having over-indulged somewhat on Friday evening. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise as I found several beauties in the sales which i'm keen to share with you!

John Lewis was my first port of call, here's what I found:

Hush Vienna Wrap Skirt, now £25
To wear with a sweater and ankle boots now, and a tee, denim jacket and trainers on warmer days.

Whistles Alisha Print Blouse now £35
Am thinking to wear this with blue jeans and trainers.

Boden Erica Dress now £56 also available at Boden for £30 more here
I'd ditch the white shoes that it's been styled with here and opt for my over the knee Topshop boots until the weather gets warmer.  Topped off with a leather jacket.

Boden Winifred Midi Dress now £84 (was £280)
I have a couple of weddings to attend this year and think this might work for both...

Finery Lewis Tie Detail Shirt now £34

This will work perfectly  with blue jeans and tan sandals or trainers.

Whistles Joyeux Tee now £30
You can never have enough basic tees - perfect for layering under sweaters now or under a blazer/denim jacket on Spring days.

Mint Velvet Textured Sport Trousers now £29
I've ordered these to try as I like the look of the turn up which smartens them up .  Great for work with a flat shoe or trainer.

Then I moved onto Urban Outfitters.  I had spotted several jumpers that I liked the look of a few days ago and was keen to see if they were in the sale, particularly as I'd received an email with a further 30% off sale items it's SALEONSALE if you'd like to use it!

Free People Garden Party Floral Maxi Dress now £35 (with extra 30% off)

Green Blanket Scarf now £8.40
I'm craving a splash of colour at the moment so this scarf may be just the job.

Sparkle & Fade Sparkle Top now £17.50
Perfect with a black party skirt.

Kimchi Blue Floral Midi Dress now £21
Gold is in for Spring and Summer so I'm giving this dress a whirl - it should go perfectly with a leather or denim jacket.

Not in the sale but I love this Striped Jumper £39

Both of these sales finish today so be quick, have a browse and see what bargains you can snap up!

Enjoy your Sunday,

Sue
