Red Nose Day 2015

08:30:00

There is a lot of merchandise around this year to help raise money and awareness for Red Nose Day & Comic Relief.

This year designers such as Anya Hindmarch, Henry Holland and the legendary Karl Lagerfeld have teamed up with Red Nose Day & TK Maxx to produce an array of women's, men's and kid's t-shirts, and even a onesie.

They have also produced a fun selection of Aprons and Tea Towels, as well as (my personal favourite) Notebooks. Who doesn't love stationary?

I've ordered a Karl Lagerfeld Tee and a notebook with the quote "Be yourself, everyone else is already taken" I'll be posting the images on Instagram once they arrived. Make sure you follow me here.

Last year TK Maxx helped raise £13.4 Million to change the lives of people across the UK and Africa. Whilst I'm trying to not encourage spending, on this occasion, I would definitely recommend snapping up one (or all) of these tees. Do something amazing this month and wear something silly for Comic Relief.

Which one is your favourite?

¿Cuanto es?

09:00:00

¿Cuanto es? Is a question I should have asked myself in many ways before I purchased something.

How much is it in money? In space? How much will it cost me later in dry cleaning?

So my first rule of thumb, is HOW MUCH. How much is that in lunches, nights out and memories.

I have spent the best part of my working life thinking of ways to spend my money. Holidays, shoes, nights out, shoes, handbags and clothes. I have built up, sold and built up again an equivalent to a medium sized boutiques worth of stuff. That's right, sold.

I have what I call bouts of doubt, self loathing and realisation that I have too much.

My wanting to live like a minimalist is frequently usurped by my constant need for the new the shiny and the mildly expensive.

So hear it is. 2015, the year I vow to clear my overdraft, credit card debt and learn to live within my means and fully attempting to do this 'minimalist' thing I so badly crave.

My debt, is not hugely hideous, but neither is it ideal.

I hope you're enjoying the journey so far.

Can I also add, that my spending has lead to be also still living at home, this is also caused by my lack of not wanting to share a bathroom or kitchen without them having gone through a rigorous cleanliness check.

Personal Shopping at Topshop Oxford Circus

21:22:00

With my love of clothes, personal shopping has always been something I never thought I would do, I mean I don't need any encouragement to buy clothes, or help finding a style.

But in light of streamlining what I own, and finding my niche, I thought, what would someone else put me in?

My Personal Stylist was called Hayley, she was lovely. Listening me waffle on about how much anything that's cropped, midi or ruffled really doesn't look okay on me, and anything with a high neck is just a NO GO.

However, I tried on everything on the rail, some yay, some nay. Wrap front shirts, never gave them a second thought before, now I can see that they do work for me and are in no way mumsy, frumpy or teacher-like.

Here are a few shots of the morning.

To book your complimentary session click here, I would recommend it, if you need an overhaul, just a second opinion or to just gather a bit of confidence in clothing choices. You may find yourself walking out of there a confident midi-skirt-ruffled-crop-top-wearing go ge-getter. Who knows.

(L-R) Outfit 1 - Black skirt, High Neck semi sheer top - Would look gorgeous on someone two cup sizes smaller than me.

Outfit 2 - LOVED this jumper. Talk about hangover must have. Wasn't sure about the roll neck.

Outfit 3 - LOVED this off duty cool look, couldn't picture the shoes I'd wear with it? Still, This skirt is on my wish list for SS15.

(L-R) Outfit 4 - LOVED this jacket, but at £185, was slightly out of reach and i wouldn't

of been able to buy anything else. High neck top again,

Outfit 5 - Wasn't sure on the Joni jeans, high-waisted generally means "Flat Bum" and I prefer a perky bottom, also I was scared to sit down, standing up looked fine, sitting down I was scared I'd split them, like the layered cami.

Outfit 6 - Bought the top, LOVED these jeans, but the size 8 wouldn't do up... therefore they were staying in the store.

(L-R) Outfit 7 - LOVED this ensemble. Bought the shirt. found online here.

Outfit 8 - This top was so pretty and isn't available online yet.

Outfit 9 - Again the Joni jeans, and I know most people under 25 love this high waisted ripped skinny Jean thing, but I detest cold knees and cake, therefore high-waisted is just out of the question. The Paisley shirt is gorge, found here.
