What's Your #partypose?

Hi Guys,

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I had a nightmare of a Sunday evening, my son turned into a crazy person and wouldn't sleep, so I caught up with the lost hours with an early night yesterday!

Recently I've seen a couple of my favourite bloggers doing these posts, and I couldn't help myself, I just LOVE virtual shopping. Boohoo is one of my favourite online stores, I shop there all the time. Their clothes are affordable and really good quality! You can check out their clothes here, the new range is so gorgeous!

You can read all about this competition here but in a nutshell, if you're a blogger and you can create the perfect party look for under £100, you could be in with a chance of winning £100, and £250 for one lucky reader!

I've gone for a really classic glam look, perfect for the party season! I'm so in love with the dress I picked, it would be so perfect for New Years' Eve. I'm writing this post at 11.30 and since I started, it has gone out of stock, but I'm really hoping it will come back in. I'd love to buy it! Thats the problem with these blogger competitions, I always end up buying things (like the playsuit in this challenge)!

Here goes, all the details and links will be under the photo!


































How did you like my outfit? I wanted to make it as complete as possible by adding the makeup and nail polish. I think this is absolutely perfect!

I can't believe that my dress has sold out in the last half an hour! I literally decided to do this post an hour ago, found everything, put the image together, and just when I was doing the links underneath, it said the dress was out of stock, outrageous! I really hope it comes back in stock, I can really imagine myself wearing it! And for £25 it's such a bargain, I'll be checking the website every five minutes, they're bound to have it in stock again before New Year.

The winner is drawn on the 14th of December, so fingers crossed, and one of you lovelies could win too!


If you're a blogger, head on over to the competition link I posted earlier, and then check out the Boohoo site to create your outfit.

£100 ASOS Blogger Challenge!

Hi Guys!

I've had such a lovely day today. I took my son to a new playgroup, which he really enjoyed, and it was sunny all day so I managed to fit in a bit of sunbathing this afternoon! I also had my first driving lesson since November 2010 this morning... I've been learning to drive for 4 years and have yet to take my test. I keep getting to the point of booking/taking my test then stopping for whatever reason. I'm determined that this will be my last set of lessons, and today went really well. My new instructor said my driving was good and I can book my test for 6/7 weeks time. I really need to be able to drive, it's really affecting my life now!

Anyway, today's post is something different. I've seen these posts on a few blogs and I really wanted to have a go myself. Discountcoder.com is having a £100 ASOS giveaway. You can find out more here but the basic concept is that you go to ASOS, create an outfit amounting to no more than £100 and then blog about it! ASOS is my favourite online retailer, at least half of my purchases are made from there, so I jumped at the chance to choose my favourite items. 

So that's what I have done! Here are my picks!



1. Rare Halterneck Playsuit - £18
2. ASOS Wedges - £17
3. ASOS Watch - £10
4. French Connection Bracelet - £8
5. ASOS Dice Earrings - £1.50
6. And Mary Geek Owl Necklace - £10
7. Pieces Bag - £9

TOTAL SPEND = £73.50

I tried to choose something similar to what I would wear on a night out. I love playsuits, and I like to stick with a black colour scheme with subtle colour injections.


I've seen a lot of bloggers saying they struggled with getting things for under £100, but I didn't struggle at all! The rules state no discount codes or student discount, so I just chose sale items to make my money go further.


I spend a lot of time browsing the ASOS site, so I could have done this challenge ten times over! They have amazing clothes and if you've been living under a rock for years and haven't heard of ASOS, you need to check it out now!

My favourite items are the shoes, which I think I might buy anyway (£17 is too cheap to turn down), the earrings (which I've had my eye on for months) and the watch! I'm so tempted to buy the watch, but my Dad bought me one for my graduation last year and so I don't think he'd be impressed if I turned up wearing something worth £10!

If you're a blogger and you'd like to have a try at this, find out more here and head to ASOS to create your look!
