Monday Wish List - All Things Ebay

Hey lovely people!

So it's Monday and it's time to share with you, a small selection of some of the many... many things I currently want in my life.

This weeks post is brought to you via the fantastic little world that is Ebay. Now I know a lot of people maybe don't like shopping on Ebay or don't trust using the site, but there are so many safeguards with PayPal, that it just hasn't ever been an issue for me. 

So this wish list is a mix of all of the little accessories etc, under £20 each, that are currently sitting in my shopping basket. 

1.Rectangle Clutch Bag - £15

2.Flower Iphone 4s Case - £0.99

3.Pair Of Bookends - £19.99

4.Beautiful Statement Collar Necklace - £8.59

5.French Glass Bottles with Cork Stopper - £7.50

6.Green Patent Flat Pumps - £11.99

7.Acrylic Makeup Organiser - £19.99

These are just some of my fabulous little finds on Ebay. I could honestly shop on there for hours... it literally has everything you could possibly want... most of the time at a cheaper price and in my case, always received without a hitch. So do yourself a favour, give Ebay a visit and grab yourself a bargain!

Take care lovelies. x

I want that... and I want that... Oh and I want that!!! Part 2

Hey there my lovelies! :)

So earlier I posted my accessories wishlist, which included the likes of earrings, a handbag and some sunglasses. However, now I'd like to share with you some of the other items I've had my eyes on, specifically of the skincare variety. 

So, I'm a bit of a QVC addict. I watch it every night when I go to bed and have been watching it for the last 15 or so years. It's where I discovered Liz Earle, one of my absolute favourite genius skincare creators.

This skincare set I am about to show you, contains the famous Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser. It is the absolute best cleanser I have ever used in my life... and I have tried a lot! You're skin feels so clean and smooth after each use, especially if you've had a heavy face of makeup on. This will wipe it off as easily as you could possibly imagine.

Liz Earle Essential Superskin Collection - £41.52 (£4.95 p&p)

If you were to purchase these items separately from the Liz Earle boutique or website, it would cost you a total of £75.50, so you are saving yourself a great deals of money buying from QVC, not to mention you have a full 30 day money back guarantee with them.

The next set of items is from L'Occitane, the most deliciously sumptuous beauty products and fragrances inspired by the Mediterranean lifestyle, promoting well-being and an absolute delight for the senses. I am yet to find an alternative for the Shea Butter hand-cream, having tried many so called dupes and absolutely none of them coming close to the luxurious, creamy and nourishing feel of the L'Occitane collections.

L'Occitane 3 Piece Shea Hand Collection - £31.92 (£4.95 p&p)

Again, if you were to purchase these items separately from the L'Occitane boutique or website, then it would cost you a total of £46, not as substantial a saving as the Liz Earle products, but still less than the RRP. 

The final skincare set that I have chosen is from Decleor. It is the 4 Piece Salon Size Skincare Collection. This is a brand that I have had very little experience of. My mum has used Decleor products for years, and I have dabbled a bit with some of the products she had, as well as the odd Decleor facial at salons I've visited. But other than that... I'm not too familiar. Except for the fact that I have watched these items being used over and over again for years on QVC and up until recently I had never really bothered about trying them out properly. However, over the last few years my skin has become more and more sensitive and I am quite prone to have breakouts, especially in the areas on and around my cheeks. This is unusual for me, even as a teenager, I seemed to be spared of the horridly vicious acne phase. So now I've decided that this is a skincare regime I would really love to try.

Decleor 4 Piece Salon Size Skincare Collection - £80.04 (£6.95 p&p)

So yes it is very pricey, but it is after all high-end, as well as being enormous salon sized products. The thing about these items is that they are not available anywhere else, other than QVC, in these sizes. So the price comparison I am giving you is based on the standard sizes available at the Decleor boutique and website. Surprisingly, these same products, at half the size offered on QVC, would set you back £104. That's for half the size!!! So really... despite it being quite a considerable investment to make, it is one that is well worth it in terms of the value for money you are getting.

So that's all for my wishlists today lovely people. I hope I haven't bored you too much, and if you haven't already you should definitely hop on over to QVC (Sky channel 640, Virgin channel 740, Freesat channel 800 and Freeview channel 16) or visit their brilliant website here. 

Take care lovelies. x

Monday Wish List - True Blue Inspiration - Part 2

Hey lovely people!

Well I just couldn't resist adding another few items to my Wish List and I thought that because there were still blue pieces included, that I would just share them with you and include them as part of today's post.

So this is another Yours Clothing selection, again for Spring... but with a little edginess. 

Black Biker Boot With Double Buckle And Zip - £38

Black Biker Jacket With Zip Details - £50

Black Ponte PU Panel Stretch Full Length Legging - £18

Blue Dobby Military Style Blouse With Dipped Hem - £23

Black Leather Look Studded Shopper Bag - £16

Black Sunglasses With Silver Rhinestone Detail - £4

I absolutely love this edgy look this season - with that bright pop of colour from the blue shirt.It's just such a fashionable look, especially with all the buckles and studs - it just adds a little extra something to the look. I also think that £50 for a Biker Jacket is super reasonable considering some other stores are often asking for double that amount, despite not offering even half of the sizes available at Yours Clothing. 

The following selection can be found at SimplyBe.

Elizabeth Arden Rectangular Sunglasses - £94

Black Jet Set Earrings - £12

Juno Duffle Bag - £65

Biker Jacket - £60

Daniel Sofy Boot - £104

Denim Babydoll Dress - £30

Ok, so I know that a lot of these items are super expensive (i.e. the sunglasses and the boots) but I just couldn't keep them to myself! I love them. The sunglasses reminded me of the original Ray ban Wayfarers, but are slightly more rectangular and have that funky detail on the side. And those boots... I mean really!!! Distressed leather is something I'm super into and I just adored the strap and buckle detail! Again though, I've found a biker jacket that's a great price and looks fab and adding this to the adorable denim dress is just a match made in heaven! 

So I'm done for the day with my Wish List clothing pieces... I think! I hope you liked them and will give these 2 great sites a visit. They really do offer fantastic clothing at really affordable prices and you can really bag yourself a fantastic outfit for a bargain price... that is if you stay away from the designer boots and sunglasses! :-)

Anyway, have a lovely day whatever it is that you might be doing.

Take care lovelies. x

Monday Wish List - Coral Inspiration

Hey lovely people!

Ok so I have been doing a lot of online window shopping as of late. Like most women, I have quite the taste for spending a bit of cash on clothing and therefore have built up quite the collection of bits and pieces, that I want to get my hands on.

So on that note I have separated my items into different categories based on the type of style I'm going for with each outfit.

Spring Daytime

So outfit number 1 is inspired by Spring. Not showing too much flesh but definitely baring those arms to the sunshine is the 1st step to getting a bit of colour on your skin and shaking off the winter knitwear. I chose a coral coloured top because I think it is the perfect combination of girly and classic without going too far with the pink. Also the dipped hem at the back is ideal for a fuller figured lady, as it hides what is definitely in my case, a rather voluptious derrière. Additionally, darker skinny jeans are much more flattering for a fuller figure as they hide any of your lumps and bumps.

To accessorize I have chosen a beautiful chunky coral bracelet to compliment the top above. As well as a white & gold stretch brooch ring & gold beaded hoop earrings. I have short hair so these are the perfect earring for me... but they might prove a bit annoying for somebody with long hair. To finish off the look I have opted for a simple, but classic white shoulder bag. Big enough to carry around during the day, but with long enough straps that it can sit comfortably on the shoulder as well as having the option to lengthen the straps and use it across the body. It's the perfect day bag. 

Spring Evening

Sticking with the coral theme I have gone for this Coral and Black skater dress. Its not too dressy but that is kind of the point. I like to keep my clothes as simple as possible so that I have the option of dressing it up with jewellery and other accessories. This dress can be paired with some black tights and these black patent Mary Jane style heels and you have a pretty, quirky evening look. Add so sparkly heart shaped earrings, a black & silver sparkly bracelet and a black patent & silver clutch to top it all off. 

I love these outfits because they can be dressed up or down depending on the look you're after. Coral is a big colour for me this year and I think pairing it with the lighter accessories during the day is perfect for that fresh spring style, while opting for the dark accessories in the evening really makes the transition from casual to dressy really easy and effortless. 

I have soooo many other items in my wishlist, so I'm going to make an effort to share this type of post with you on a weekly basis. 

If you are interested in finding more items like this then you can find these beautiful pieces and more at Yours Clothing. This is a fabulous site for plus sized females who, like myself often struggle to find pretty and flattering items on the high-street. They are very reasonably priced and even offer new customers a 20% discount on their first order over £20 so definitely give them a little visit. 

Take care lovelies. x
