Sale Junkie: Pretty Little Thing

Last week, Pretty Little Thing gave a code for 50% OFF THE SALE!!! Here's what I bought...

I am, and will always be, a lover of sales and I don't think there's anything wrong with that! Trends are constantly coming back around and can have similar themes from season to season so I don't see anything wrong with buying older season pieces, especially when it comes to fast and simple impulse buys!!

Anyway.... The race was on.This was a race not only with time, but other girlies as addicted to discounts as I am. I had about 20 minutes to get my shopping game on and, with the speed of my laptop, this was definitely a challenge. Of course, in typical me style, I left the website with a furry coat and maxi skirt on its way over with 99p next day delivery all for less than £15. Happy days!

Pretty proud of my ability to control how much I bought too- 2 things? Now that's will power (and what happens when there's a lack of items left in your size).

High St Edit: Scandal

I've been having some serious withdrawal symptoms from the lack of Scandal my life only to find out there are new episodes out and I'm just late to the party... as usual.

When I started watching this, all I could think was FINALLY!!! A black woman playing a character other than the token black woman. Kerry Washington hasn't been cast as a mouthy ghetto gal and she isn't the main character's best friend. She's a freaking GLADIATOR!

If you don't get my references, you haven't watched the show. If you haven't watched the show, you need to get ooon thaat!! I've been watching Homeland to fill the Pope shaped hole in my heart but it's just not the same. Like seriously... where are all the good clothes?!

I know Liv, it stresses me out too...

"I like... how you always seem to be wearing white"- A line from Jake's I-love-you-Olivia speech. Well I love it too so I thought it was about time I did a High Street take on a the classic Olivia Pope look.
