Fashion Vouchers Christmas Blogger competition!

The lovely people at Fashion Vouchers  emailed me recently to tell me about their brand new competition which aims to find the most fabulous Christmas party outfits for under £100!

As I've mentioned previously, I'm a student which means a lot of the time I'm desperate for new stuff but simply don't have the funds. Finding the right Christmas outfit on a budget is so difficult, so I leapt at the chance to be involved and see what I could create. 

My chosen merchant for this comp is ASOS, a site which is a treasure trove for any fashionista and I found the most fabulously quirky outfit for all the festivities!

My first choice was this gorgeous Velvet Dress in a gorgeous purple-blue colour. Velvet is huge this season and in my mind epitomises the Christmas cheer we all know and love! The lace and long sleeves make this look classic and elegant, but versatile enough to wear all year through at any event. 

I'd toughen up this look with this gorgeous spiked necklace, which adds a little Christmas cheer with its bright bauble-like coloured gems. Adding this amazing book clutch bag gives the look a quirky edge and ensures the accessories are poppin'! 

Finally, you can't have a Christmas without sparkle and these amazing 60's style pointed heels add all the glitz and glamour you need for your special day! 

The items have a total cost of: £100.00, however, ASOS offer student a 10% discount with Unidays and NUS extra, bringing the total cost of this look to £90.00! 

If you fancy posting your own entry to this great comp, have a look at the Fashion Vouchers blogger competition page here where you can read all the t&c's. 

Enjoy!

Baby you're a Wild One

 I've been such a lucky girl recently! I've won two competitions, one that landed me this gorgeous studded jacket from Jovonnista and the other was hosted by Dixi, an online jewellery company, which sent me this gorgeous bracelet and above knuckle ring for my blog.

I've been wearing the bracelet and ring combo everyday, along with some other bits and bobs, they're just so easy to wear and pretty unusual - I've had some many comments off friends about them, especially the ring, which I've not seen anywhere bar Dixi!

The jacket is one of my new favourites and I've honestly not had it off my back since I won it! Although it's not real leather, the fit and feel make it look pretty dam close and it's bang on trend for A/W12, a real investment piece (which doesn't cost the earth!)

I'm really pleased with this outfit, it's a pretty simple look which features peplums, print and the classic 'pony.' Yes, I know, animal print is fading into obscurity, but I'm honestly not ready to part with it, especially after finding this little gem in a local charity shop for £4!

I've been feeling a little stressed recently, what with packing, features to write, blogging to do etc. and to top it all off, the rain hasn't stopped for two days up North. If Noah turns up in his Ark I don't think I'd blink.

Anyhoo, been working on an exciting project with some fellow bloggers recently, will be on my blog Thursday so you lucky lot will be able to have a read then! Also, keep a look out for my next giveaway - once I reach 100 followers I'll announce!

Have a good week!
