Kardashian Kollection

I have just seen on Facebook that the Kardashian's are going to be working with Dorothy Perkins to retail their range 'Kardashian Kollection'! Which is quite exciting!

The Collection will be available to buy in store online at dorothyperkins.com, the launch date is around November 2012 for clothing and then footwear is said to follow in 2013.

This is great news for Dorothy Perkins who also sell 'Mischa Barton' handbags (my favourite been this Black Stripe Canvas Shopper bag for £49), it will definitely give them a boost on the high street! I cant wait to see the collection, just in time for Christmas too, coincidence?

Cheryl Cole - Under the sun

Cheryl has been spotted shooting her new musi video for 'Under the sun' there seems to be a 60's retro feel to the video and Cheryl has been wearing a gorgeous coral coloured pencil skirt, teamed with a yellow bra and white cropped knotted top, very sexy I must say!

I have found this Coral Coloured Textured Pencil skirt from BooHoo for only £18.00 which is a great price, or there is this Vintage Coral Pencil skirt from ASOS market place for £25.00. This Lipsy Neoprene Pencil skirt is gorgeous, i love the black waistband, this again is only £25.00

I have found the gorgeous earrings that Cheryl wears in the video, they are by Andy Farrow and are available at Etsy - Gold Dome Earrings for £110.00, those are a bit pricey so how about these Light Pink dangle encrusted Ball earrings from River Island for only £8.00

As for those sexy animal print heels, there are many places you can buy similar ones from such as these gorge Christian Louboutin heels, they do cost £495, so i have found a couple of alternatives. Firstly there is this pair from Dorothy Perkins - Leopard Open waist courts for £28.00, or from Office these Dorothys Friends Leopard Print heels costing £62.00 which are bit more expensive than the pair from Dorothy Perkins, both pairs are very cute but personally i would go for the Dorothy Perkins pair as they are more cost effective and shoes from Dorothy Perkins are usually good quality.

I have also heard that Cheryl will be making a guest appearance on Rhianna's new show 'Styled to Rock' which i cant wait for!!

Colourful skirts

Pastel Flippy skater skirt

Blue Tropical Print vest

I just bought this lovely Pastel Flippy yellow skater skirt from Miss Selfridge today for £28 it is really nice and perfect for the summer, although I was a bit disappointed when I for home to discover that there was a little hole where the security tag was attached which means I am going to have to take it back and hopefully exchange it for one without security tag damage. It is only a slight hole but the material is the sort which might not hold if there is a slight tear or hole so id rather not risk it.

The Pastel Flippy skater skirt is also available in a few other colours including pink and blue, but i do prefer the yellow, I'm hoping it will go with my new Blue Tropical Print vest from Dorothy Perkins.

I was quite surprised with myself for going for a coloured skirt as i usually go for the standard black colour, so i have had a look for some more colourful skirts which i like the look of.

I like this Purple Airtex Pleated Skirt, i love the material and the length is quite good as it is not too short, It costs £34.00 from Topshop, i think this might go nice with a simple vest top and some summer wedges.

This Tropical Print Wrap drop skirt from Miss Selfridge has a lot going on but i do love the print, i would team it with a simple top so that the top and skirt don't clash. The drop skirt is quite popular at the moment and there are a few designs in shops ranging from plain colours to prints.

I do like the colour blocking on this Louche Seadra Box Pleat Skirt i found on Joy the store website for only  £29.00 its available in Red/Pink and then in a light and dark blue. If i had the Red/Pink skirt i would team it with maybe a cream blouse with a nice print to add a bit of detail to the outfit. I think this Cat Print pussybow blouse would work nice with the Louche Seadra Box pleat skirt, the print is quite unusual but quirky.

There are a lot of nice colourful skirts out there at the moment but i think Miss Selfridge have  great selection at the moment so go check them out.

Pencil Skirts

Since the sun is now shining the skirts are making an appearance! Unfortunately my favourite black pencil skirt broke (the zip broke) so i was not a happy bunny!!! So i have started to look for a replacement, i am however looking for something a little different to a simple black skirt.

I have found this lovely Kelly Brook Red Spot Pencil skirt from New Look for £24.99 and it is gorgeous, the colour is nice and i love the polka dot print. Kelly Brook has a really nice collection at New Look at the moment, so i would definitely recommend checking it out!

Kelly Brook Red Spot Pencil Skirt

How about this Light Beige Midi Textured skirt from River Island for only £18.00 the colour is nice and neutral so is quite refreshing for spring.

Photographic Print Pencil Skirt

This Photographic Print pencil skirt is really nice from ASOS for £20.00, this is definitely different from a plain black skirt, i would probably team it with a plain blouse and some peep toe heels, making a stand out outfit.

This Jade Peplum Pencil skirt from Dorothy Perkins is very on trend with the peplum waist, i like this as it is nice and simple but the colour is great and not to over powering.

My top dresses for Summer!

Hasn't the weather been amazing this week!!!! Definitely time to get the Summer wardrobe out! I have been looking at all the summer dresses available at the moment and i have picked out a few of my favourite.

Coral Lace Dress

1. Coral Lace Dress £45.00 from Miss Selfridge
This Coral dress is my favourite of the 5 i have selected , i love the colour and the cut out section. You can never go wrong with lace.


This AX Paris Yellow Crotchet Detail dress is available from New Look for only £21.00 which is a bargain, the colour is very summery, i love the cut out detail around the waist, it adds a nice simple bit of detail.

White Poppy Print

 White Poppy Print Dress £24.99 from New Look
I found this dress on New Looks website, i do like most of their dresses, they always have beautiful prints, but this one was my favourite, i like all the colours, it reminds me of the flowers when they bloom in spring!


How cute is this Turquoise/Pink midi dress from Dorothy Perkins, i just love the flamingo print, the length of the dress is quite good as it is not too short. It only costs £39.50

This Tropical Print Silk dress from Warehouse is very loud and just might be my favourite!! The print and colours just make me think of going on holiday, it does cost £65 so it is the more expensive dress i have selected but i think it would be worth it.

Patriotic Fashion

2012 is a very British year with the Olympics and the Queens Jubilee, so it is great to see some fashion brands are flying the flag for Britain by releasing some clothing/shoes etc with Patriotic prints and slogans!

Just today i came across Dorothy Perkins DP London range which include printed T-shirts such as this London Eye Tee for £18.00, which is a great price. They also have some Union Jack wellies for only £23.00, now that is very British!!! I love it!! Lets not forget that us Brits love a cuppa, and Dorothy Perkins have picked up on that with these novelty 'My Cup of Tea' socks  for £2.50

New Look have also got a range called 'Cool Britannia' which includes this London Bus Print vest for £12.99, also this Union Jack umbrella for £7.99 (will be a must have with the British Summer!!) Perhaps if the weather is more forgiving then why not try this Abbey Dawn Union Jack Bikini, its great for £34.99

Churchill - Chockers

I found a website called Chockers Shoes which has some nice Union Jack print heels such as these 'Churchill' hells for only £35 which is a bargain!! 

Animal Print Shoes

I love Amanda Holden's eye catching Leopard print shoes which she wore a few weeks back at one of the Britain's Got Talent auditions. I really like an animal print. I have had a look for some alternative animal print shoes which look just as good as Amanda's.

Lets start at the highest end of the cost scale with these amazing Charlotte Olympia Heels at Net-a-Porta which cost £740 but they are so beautiful i love the duck egg blue wedge. (p.s Cheryl Cole has been spotted wearing these whilst in Paris, teaming them with a leopard print dress by Ksubi available at Net-a-Porta for £320.

How about these Pinki Leopard Print sandals from Kandee Shoes which cost £170, they are very different from the usual animal print colour.

These Orange Leopard Print Embellished Court shoes from River Island have an animal print with a twist, they have some golden studs and spike detail which make them very quirky and different to the usual animal print.

Check out these Abbey Dawn Leopard Peep toe creations that i found at Very for £97, the great thing about buying from Very is that you can choose to buy now pay later!!

But i think my favourite place to buy animal print heels has to be Dorothy Perkins, they have a great selection, including these Leopard Satin Court Shoes for £38 or these Leopard Print Platform Courts for £65

If only i had enough money!

I was browsing through the Victoria Beckham collection, and i found this dress (Contrast-shoulder Stretch Cotton Blend Dress) on the Net-a-Porta website (only £995) if only i could afford it!! (I'd say it is worth the money - my boyfriend would probably disagree)

I love Victoria Beckham's fashion line it is so elegant and classy, but the contrast shoulder stretch dress was my favourite it is very feminine, the dress has a zip at the back from top to bottom which adds a little detail to the dress.

The dress is from Victoria Beckham's SS12 collection and is definitely a winner for me!

I follow Victoria Beckham on twitter and over the last week or so she has been posting some really good tweets and the most cutest pictures of her and Harper's outfits! So sweet. I would definitely recommend following her on twitter (if you are not already) - @victoriabeckham

To balance out the price a bit i would wear these Cream Pointed Court shoes from Dorothy Perkins which are only £22.00

Limited Lilac T-Bar Block Heels

Check out these very cute Limited Lilac T-Bar Block Heels available in 5 different colours for just £39.99 at New Look.

They would look good with a pair of denim shorts like this pair of Star and Stripe ones from Miss Selfridge for £30.00, then team with a white/cream top or jumper, like this Ladder Slouch jumper for £26.00 at Dorothy Perkins.

Then all you need is to dress the outfit up with a long necklace and some chunky bracelets.

Aqua Bird Print Blouse - Dorothy Perkins

Aqua Bird Print Blouse

I love this Bird print blouse from Dorothy Perkins, its beautiful, perfect for spring! The colour is gorgeous and the print is lovely, its not to overpowering.

The dipped hem means it would go perfectly with either a pair of leggings or some skinny jeans, i would probably team it up with some flat sandals, these Black Aztec sandals would go great with the outfit.

Its only £28 so its a reasonable price, i know that Dorothy Perkins items are usually to a high standard. I enjoy shopping at Dorothy Perkins i find it is for more grown up people, but not too old, its very modern and stylish but has a sophisticated edge.

Dorothy Perkins is currently having a 50% off sale on some of their items and also they have free standard delivery for any UK orders over £75.

Black Colour Block High Wedge - Dorothy Perkins

Black Colour Block High Wedge

I came across these Colour block wedges whilst on Facebook they were been advertised on the side bar, as soon as i saw them i was like....wow i like those!

They are from Dorothy Perkins and cost £40.00. I love the green strip on the wedge it makes the shoe stand out, i would probably team it with a nice simple black dress and a cute clutch bag. I found this Envelope Clutch bag which would match the green on the shoe, it is from Guess and does cost £85.00 so is quite pricey, however it was the only bag with a similar green colour to the shoes.

Dorothy Perkins currently have free Worldwide delivery on all orders over £30.

Money Saving/Making

As i am going through the whole redundancy situation i thought i would share my tips on how to get a little extra for your money, from collecting points & completing surveys.

I know many of you probably have either a Tesco Clubcard, Nectar card or Boots Advantage card so I'm sure you know what the benefits of these are, but for those of you who don't here is some info on what you can get:

Tesco Clubcard - With this card you can collect one point for every £1 you spend in Tesco (on most items in store) at the petrol pump or most items from Tesco Direct. These points are then converted into vouchers every quarter which can either be spent in Tesco or you can use them with Clubcard rewards where they can be redeemed for a number of things such as Magazine subscriptions, entry into exhibition or event and activity days their website has all the information you need, if your not signed up for this i would definitely recommend it.

Boots Advantage Card - This is similar to the Tesco Clubcard except you can collect 4 points for every £1 you spend in Boots on most items in store or online. These points can then be spent at boots or on their website. Not only can you collect Boots points from Boots but if you visit their Treat Street you can also collect points when you shop online at a number of other retailers such as Dorothy Perkins, New Look & HMV, visit the website for more info - http://www.treatstreet.boots.com/

Nectar Card - This card can redeemed in a number of different places such as Sainsburys, BP, Amazon amongst others. When you have collected a few points they can redeemed against various rewards quite like the Tesco Clubcard, such as Attraction entry, vouchers etc.

Now other than using the cards above there are other ways to make a little bit extra such as completing surveys, a couple of examples are https://www.valuedopinions.co.uk/ and http://www.iap-interactive.com/ for completing surveys you will be awarded points which can be redeemed for vouchers, on valued opinions you can get vouchers for Outfit, Amazon, Boots and many more. With Iap-Interactive the best one to get is the Capital Bonds voucher as this can be used at a number of different stores.

Now if you do like shopping online a great website to use would be Maximiles on this website you collect points for shopping online through their website for a number of retailers such as Game, PC World, Argos, New Look and quite a few more. You can also collect points for completing surveys, watching their advertising videos and signing up for newsletters. These points again can be redeemed for a number of different rewards ranging from DVDs and CD's to vouchers to TVs and even a Porche. This is definitely a website to look at!


If you have any old CDs, DVDs or Games hiding away that you don't use or watch anymore then why not try out Music Magpie and see how much you can get for them, its free posting and they send you a cheque within a couple of weeks. I tried this out and it was quick and easy, all i had to do was take the box of DVDs to the Post Office (always make sure you get proof of posting).

Another good website is http://www.groupon.co.uk/ this has a different deal everyday from manicures, massages & hair appointments to meals for two, falconry experience & Go karting. You can save loads on deals, and if you recommend a friend for one of the deals and they purchase it then you get £6 credit on your Groupon account, I recommended 3 people once and was able to purchase a massage with the credit!

I hope this has been of use to someone, these websites definitely helped me.
