A quick photo blog today, showcasing my latest Boohoo dress obsession.
It's this lovely Charlotte Smudge Print shirt dress, perfect for this wintery mood that we're in. It's only £15, such a bargain. It feels silky and super luxe, definitely more than the £15 price tag!

What I Wore: Boohoo Dress & Bunny Trainers
A dark mood is upon me. Partly due to the come-down from the bank holiday weekend but mostly down to the fact that the rain has returned. Oh yeah, and Film4 has been showing Twilight films all weekend. That too.
I always find myself choosing clothes in line with my mood and today I've gone for some sort of "minimalist gothic grumpus". Yes, today HAS been a grumpy day - I've been walking to the tube every day this week in that type of rain which isn't enough to justify an umbrella but is enough to seriously get on my grill - weak rain is the despair of all glasses wearing girls out there!
I'm mourning the lack of summer sun but all over black can be quite severe. Today's dress has a flash of burgundy to help to break up the black and add a bit of shape to what is, essentially, a large sack. (albeit a very comfortable one)
Dress by New Look
Necklace: Primark
This long sleeved dress is a great choice for work because it covers up enough skin whilst still looking stylish. The shape is perfect for swishing around the office and still looks very smart with tights or bare legged.
The loose shape means that it's INCREDIBLY comfortable, but it still retains an expensive, modern edge because of the block colour and the crepe material. It's not normally something I'd go for but.... the price! THE PRICE!
How much was the dress?

What I Wore To Work: Block Colour Black & Burgundy
I love a bargain. I love a discount. So naturally I LOVED the Models Own 50% off discount which was on the other week.
I've been a fan of Models Own nail polishes for a while - you can see my review of Hedonist nail polish and Disco Mix here. The consistencies are just right and the colours are brilliant. Great shades for every occasion and great value at £5 a bottle.

At 50% off, I couldn't help myself. I bought 8 items and for about £20! Bargain bargain bargaiiiiin! (The only downside was that it took about 2 weeks to arrive but I think you might agree....they were totally worth the wait.)

What have we got here then?

My 50% Off Models Own Nail Polish Haul!
Thought you got a buzz from the sales? The adrenaline of scanning the rails of clothes and the feel of a bargain in your hand? Well wait until you go to a sample sale.
Sample sales are used by retailers to get rid of excess stock at reduced prices. They're often limited to a day or two and open to the public - DO you need any more reason to go!?
Historically, the items were the samples which were sent to buyers, presentations and shows but these days, its more likely to be summer stock being cleared out in winter and old lines being cleared.
So last week I attended a REISS sample sale with my pal Charlotte R and, despite the 7:30am queue, it was SO worth it!
It was Charlotte's first time at a sample sale and when telling her my hints and tips it occurred to me to write a post about sample sale etiquette.
I may as well share the knowledge which I have amassed from my days of frantically running around (or crawling around) other sales. Yes, crawling - for reals. Wanna know why? Keep reading.
