Armchair shopping

Oh dear, can't believe my last post was about Christmas. Happy New Year!

I really haven't been up to a great deal. I didn't have much time off work at Christmas so I've spent my recent days off visiting relatives, leaving less time to myself to buy awesome things- or so you'd think.

I've actually managed to sneak in some bargains, due mainly to the wonder of online shopping.

First I thought i'd share, seriously, the best online shopping experience I've had in a long time courtesy of Love clothing.

Despite noticing that they ship with Yodel, which due to dealing with them everyday in my own job I can tell you are utter shite, I got gorgeous clothes for a good price, delivered quickly and wrapped beautifully (with a cheeky 20% code for next time!).

I wanted a dress for my graduation ceremony, which despite me 'graduating' in June, isn't until February.

I settled on this red number:

Not sure whether it'll look good under my grad robes or not but who cares, I LOVE it! (no pun intended).

For spending over £60, you got £15 off so I was tempted by another offer they had on for two items for £30 to make up the numbers.

I got this leopard print wrap dress:

And this pleated maxi skirt:

A good haul for £60 I say!

I was also really impressed by the fact they used blogger photos for some of their items. Made a welcome change to the usual purely product-focused shots.

Jennifer from The Native Fox was featured with the Maroon Chiffon Cross Bust Asymmetrical Maxi

It seems that the Brown Leopard Print Long Sleeve Wrap Dress has sold out and I can't find the blogger pic (sorry!)  however the gorgeous Charlene of Strutt was featured with the similar Snake Print dress

Genius!

Here's another little collection of recent buys:

At the top is an awesome 80s leather jacket I bought from COW in Manchester. I tried this jacket on shortly after moving here when I was penniless, so resigned it back to the rail. Having gone back after getting a job I wasn't surprised that it was gone. But fate was shining on me and upon popping in for a browse in the January sales, there it was- half price at £18! Result.

Then we have a pretty vintage lace collar I bought from eBay for around £5. Not sure if it's very me or if I'll wear it but we'll see.

Finally we have a Pritchard Vs. Dainton T shirt. Another eBay buy at £1.99.

Now, this will only mean anything to you if, like me, you are a massive Dirty Sanchez fan- which isn't particularly likely but i thought I'd share it regardless. I think I'm actually in love with Matt Pritchard and have been looking for one of these T shirts everywhere!

Here's a little video of the boys if you aren't familiar:

Below is my Zara plaited handle shopper dupe bag, eBayed from Hong Kong for £14.

The real thing:

I know at circa £80 the Zara version doesn't break the bank but I'm not feeling so flush at the moment and the look-a-like bag is really good! Okay, it's not leather and it took an age to arrive (well, around 2 weeks) but for the price you can't complain.

Hopefully you might get some outfit posts out of me with all this lot.

Stay tuned!

Sleighbells ring, are you listening?

Merry Christmas everyone!

I hope everyone had an awesome day yesterday- I certainly did so thought I'd share it.

Me and the fella had xmas dins at our flat; my first time at Christmas dinner!

Shortly after taking this, I knocked a glass of the rose cava all over the bf, cream carpet and curtain- oops!

Deffo ousted the sprouts for my version!

It turned out really well and was delish- if I do say so myself!

After our dinner we headed up to my mum's in North Yorkshire for the afternoon/evening.

Failed to take ONE family photo. Mainly just ones of my dog!

I thought I'd share my pressies with you. I was totally spoilt.

Left to Right: Vintage Style by Sarah Kennedy (AMAZING), Making Vintage Accessories by Emma Brennan, Gorgeous by Gok Wan party nails bag, vintage-style fabric photoframe, floral tea tray, Olay moisturiser, LUSH bath bombs, The Good Girl on DVD (been looking for this all over), Cath Kidston coat hangers, jewelled trinket box, Baylis and Harding Vintage Rose hand soap, various biscuits and choccies, Cath Kidston mugs and milk jug, Wok, Kurt Geiger Woking boots.

My mum got me all the floral stuff- she knows me well!

And how thoughtful is this, she wrapped my wok up with noodles, sesame oil, soy sauce and Chinese five spice!

Oh and how cute is this fox ring my boyf got me?!

Please ignore the poor, poor attempt at Christmas nail art!

Hope you're all having a chilled out Boxing Day. I've been at work today but am home now, sipping on a brew in one of my new mugs, shopping online (buying a dupe of that Zara bag) and watching Come Dine With Me.

Love,

Foxy.
