I Have Sinned: Money Saving Monday

by 3 Comments

Money Saving Monday – Last week I blogged about a July spending ban that some of us were undertaking and I was all set to have a month of no spending on clothing… and then Blackpool happened! At the weekend I went to Blackpool for a night (more about that in another post) and so took one dress with me for the Friday night! Saturday morning I was persuaded (by my parents of all people) to stay another night and go out with them to see a show! So… I had nothing to wear!!

Not So Joyful July: Another Spending Ban

by 3 Comments

Thanks to an amazing ASOS sale and some lovely dresses from Yours Clothing I managed to buy quite a few new items in June… Some of the items I haven’t even worn yet! When Abi suggested on Facebook that others join in with her July spending ban I thought I would join in too! 


Some of these dresses (and many more) are just to beautiful not to be worn again!




I have so many pretty dresses and outfits that don’t get enough wear and I am too easily tempted by colourful patterns and bargain dresses. So I thought I would join in and use July to have a big summer clear out of the clothes that I have. I am sure I have dresses that haven’t been worn in a year or so, so I’ll be deciding what to do with those.




So… Every Monday (or at least a couple of times this month) I’ll be posting a #MoneySavingMonday post about what I have worn that week, what clothes I have sorted out and what gems I have forgotten about and re-fallen back in love with – which I know we’ll all do!


There is a few bloggers taking part so make sure you have a read of their posts and see what they’re up to as well!


Are you ever tempted by self-imposed spending bans, do they work for you?

Large Lady V London

by Leave a Comment

A very quick, excitable post today because Lady V London have unveiled their new Estella dresses. I do promise to do a much more in-depth post soon – and a review of a dress once I have bought one! I don’t know much about the range, but it is so exciting that I had to write about it – like a child who has just been promised a new toy! WOO!

Maxi-mum Summer Loving!

by 5 Comments

Just a short post today about this lovely dress I picked up from Yours Clothing at the weekend. I was in Derby this weekend and so paid a visit to the Yours Store at Westfields there (it’s lovely – more about that later). They had this BEAUTIFUL maxi dress in store and now it’s mine!





The Purple and Green Tropical Print maxi dress is £35 on the website or in store and is available right up to a size 36 – amazing! It is a little long for me, but I quite like that long gyspy/boho look anyway. It also means that it would be suitable for someone taller than me too (which is likely to be most of you!).




I am quite new to the whole maxi dress trend, but I am really loving it! I now want all the maxi dresses! Yours Clothing have some really lovely ones and even though I have said it once and I will no doubt say it again, it is SO pleasing to see them do pretty dresses up to a size 36! As far as I know there isn’t a fashion retailer in the UK doing such an affordable range like this and I only hope it continues to grow.

Remember If you’re new to Yours Clothing you can use my Blogger18 code to get £10 off of a £20 spend.



What dresses are you loving this summer?
