Friday seems to have come and gone without me managing to write the post that I had planned on Christmas party dresses. As we are now speeding towards Christmas with the festive party season in full swing and less than 2 weeks to go until the big day (not wanting to panic you or anything), I decided I couldn't wait until next Friday for this post.
This post is inspired by the most amazing beaded evening dress that I spotted in a Barnados charity shop last week for just £24. I couldn't believe how amazing it was and in perfect condition (and my size). Unfortunately I do not have any formal parties to go to this year (and very rarely do) so just couldn't justify a space in my already bursting wardrobe. But for those who do have something formal to go to this Christmas, I wanted to prove just how many amazing second hand and vintage evening dresses there are out there. If none of these take your fancy, I would definitely recommend trying a local charity shop.
House of Fraser Beaded Blue Dress - Oxfam - £24.99 - size medium
Jigsaw Burgundy Beaded Dress - Oxfam - £9.99 - size small
Bernshaw Black Halterneck Dress With Beaded And Ruffle Detail - Oxfam - £29.99 - size 14
Deep Purple Evening Dress - Posh Swaps - size 8
Sequin Streamer Dress - Preta Portobello £95 size 12
Debut Evening Dress - Preloved - £20 - Size 12
Have you got any parties to go to this Christmas? Would love to hear what you will be wearing.
With warmest wishes

Friday Finds - Erdemesque Florals and 20% off Madness

Quite simply I love florals anyway but he does them in such an amazing way. The rich and vibrant colours, the accents of red and the simple but feminine dresses. For SS10 his collection featured the most amazing floral summer dresses and for AW10 more beautiful florals but this time in a much darker and more wintry way. For SS10 I was really excited to yet more stunning floral dresses this time in creams, whites blues and reds but best of all with some patchwork type of effects and some floral pattern mixing. There has been talk of an Erdem Topshop Colab but nothing definite yet so I continue to live in hope as an original Erdem piece is far beyond my budget. So for today I have been hunting down Erdemesque florals on the high street - enjoy!
The great thing about buying florals in the winter is that many of them are reduced. Which brings me onto my next point. Has anyone else noticed the number or offers and 20% off discounts online at the moment. They are falling over themselves in a effort to get us to buy stuff. Not so great if we end up buying stuff we don't need, but great for saving money on stuff we need and Christmas presents. Here are just a few of the offers this weekend.
20% off at People Tree with code WONDERLAND
£20 off all dresses at Kew until Sunday
20% off at Coast until 29th November
10% off at Lipsy with code PARTYISSUE2
15% off Womens and Mens Shoes at Liberty this weekend!
Have a great weekend and happy shopping!
