I'm in love with this dress!It looks even more gorgeous in the shop too. Its perfect for the summer, and has a cute little tie at the back. Can be dressed up and down, would look amazing with a pair of gladiator sandals and maybe a quilted bag.And for £35 from Topshop, its not exactly cheap, but is more reasonable than a lot of the things in there. A great investment I think, you'd get pleanty of

Save Money on the Clothes You Love

I know you've all been there. I find myself frequently staring at a gorgeous dress or amazing skirt, trying to magically create some money with my mind so I could afford it. This often happens in places like Topshop and River Island, when even if I could afford it, I find myself incredibly unwilling to pay £32 for a glorified vest.This is why I love it when I find an item of clothing that is

Batiste Dry Shampoo - A Lifesaver!

I'm just about to go out, and before I do I think it's my duty to inform you of this excellent product. I've been using it for ages now, and I think it's fairly undiscovered. It's happened to us all. Woke up a bit late with a mop like a chip pan, no time to wash it and faced with little options but to go out looking like you haven't showered for days. Here is the end of all that! All you

Glamorous Gladiators?

Now, we're all excited for the summer. Admittedly, the British summer often leaves much to be desired, but according to the Met Office, we're in for a hot one this year! We had our first glimpse of this yesterday, and so of course I abused this as much as I could. I look rather bronzed this morning, if I do say so myself.Summer, to me, just rings as an opportunity to get my legs out, throw on a

Many are claiming the worldwide eBay craze has passed. I disagree.I must admit a bit of an eBay addiction. When I'm not buying, I'm selling, and when I'm not selling I'm seeking out new items and waiting for them to end. eBay is an amazing tool, whether you want to find that sold out pair of Topshop jeans, or discounted designer, eBay is sure to have it.As a seasoned eBayer, I've compiled a few

The Great Beginning!

The same as all good things come to an end, they also have to begin. Ravaged by the urge to fill my spare time with something half way constructive, I have stumbled upon the world of blogging. At first, I found the concept rather monotonous- who is going to want to listen to me ramble on for page after page? This attitude was quickly changed, however, as through exploring the world of web
