'90s Necklaces

This week SalesGossip are offering 10% off at Urban Outfitters, so I figured that's the perfect excuse for quick browse through what's new in. Now I say 'new', but when I clapped eyes on these necklaces I had a very strong sense of deja vu...

I'm pretty sure I owned both these necklaces back in the mid-nineties. Actually, I've probably still got them stowed away somewhere for safe keeping. Who'd have known they'd become vintage so soon? Give it another 80 years and they'll be on Antiques Roadshow.

Shake Your Pom Poms

Shake your pom poms if you're off to a festival this summer. If you want to channel that sought after global traveller vibe when you don't plan on venturing any further than deepest, darkest Glastonbury then pom poms  are definitely the way forward. An instant talking point, pom poms cry out 'oh look at this necklace I picked up in Peru' - never mind it's actually from Primark!

The crafters' favourite will instantly add an ethnic twist to this year's festival fashion - so why not buy some wool, make a batch and tie some to your wellies? That said, if you don't fancy a spot of DIY fashion, you can find pom poms everywhere at the moment - just look at the Issa for LK Bennett collection where these brightly coloured fuzzy balls are the embellishment of choice.

Sweats & Hoodies

Festival Fashion Look Book

With Glastonbury just a few days away, it's high time we talked festival fashion...

T-Shirts by Truly Madly Deeply
Boots by Office

The trend for all things Navajo is perfect for the festival season - zig-zag prints, feathers and fringed suede are available in abundance at the moment and achieve that much coveted boho vibe. Complete the look with stacks of beaded jewellery that looks as if you could have made it yourself.

You may think Navajo firmly belongs in the climate of Coachella, but chuck on a poncho and a pair of wellies and you're good for Glasto!

Speaking of wellies, more on that to come...

Yes, Another Handbag

A while back I posted about receiving a 10% discount voucher for Urban Outfitters - well I couldn't possibly let that go to waste! It gave me the perfect excuse to add to my already sizable (to put it mildly) handbag collection. I can hear my Nan now; 'not another handbag!'

I chose this classic black bucket bag as an early christmas present to myself - if you can't treat yourself at christmas when can you, ay?

I Got Mail

I love those days when the postman brings something other than bills to my front door. Getting a parcel can make even the most mudane Monday feel like Christmas. This morning, not only did my Blair bag arrive, but I received the Urban Outfitters winter catalogue with a 10% off voucher inside. The postman's next visit is sure to bring a pretty hefty credit card bill!

Urban Outfitters

Urban Outfitters has long been the place to go for quirky fashion on the High Street, but I have only recently discovered what great bargains are available on their website. In the sale section many items are only £9.99! My picks include an oversized floral tunic (was £32, now £9.99), a Silence+Noise drop waist dress (was £35, now £14.99), and a leopard print blouse with lace inserts by Free People (was £45, now £9.99) - what's more, they're only a few clicks away.
