Ever too scared to hit the ”buy now” or ”checkout” button on your mythical shopping cart on Zara? Or look at the price tag on a pair of boots from Topshop & just can’t bear to part with the cash? Yep, I know the feeling all too well. But, what if there was a way to keep an eye on those pesky sales where we can see 25%, 50% and even 75% sale discounts? That’s where LoveSales comes in. Once you have signed up to the website you can choose your favourite brands and websites, then LoveSales does all the work for you by notifying to you every time your chosen brands release a sale.
If that didn’t get any better, you can even create your own wishlist (just in case the boyfriend/husband/’rents don’t have a clue what to get you for your next birthday!) simply add the LoveSales button to your web browser & every time you see something you love click the button and it will be added! If sharing from your mobile device you can also email it or copy & paste the url link to your wishlist too. To find out more on how to do this click here!
As someone who adores styling & fashion I thought it was a great for me to have a go & create my own wishlist (in other words, drool over all the products I am lusting over…)
With your wishlists in one place you can add products from any site and they are all neatly stored in a similar style to the adored Pinterest, your List shows you the current price of each item and also if the prices have dropped. Just perfect for the bank balance! As you can see I am aiming high with the desire for the YSL shoulder bag to willingly come down in price. Hey, a girl can dream right?
Have you come across Love Sales? Or managed to blag a bargain from using this fabulous sale site? I’d love to hear from you!

Guys, I’m going to let you in to a little secret here. It appears not many people know it. The truth of the matter is; you are in control of your happiness. There I said it. You’ll see on my blog recently that I (preach) talk about how I have finally taken control of my lifestyle which ultimately is making me a much happier person. I’ve conquered my wallowing in self-pity post-wedding & I’m doing things that I have meant to do for the last, eight years. Eight whole years. That is a long time. A long, long time to finally take charge. I don’t know if it’s blogging/connecting with some really inspiring minds that has given me a view to just seize the day. If it’s the fact that my pay packet is allowing me to do some of the things I regrettably wouldn’t have been able to do in my past employment or the fact that I’m really secure in my marriage. But what I do know is that a whole host of things have culminated in me going in to 2015 with a much more open mind. I think once you start rooting around you’ll realise that you can be the maker of whatever you want & that is a fabulous feeling.
So, what does make me happy?
1.) Blogging. It is corny & it is cheesy but blogging has really pushed me to do something I have always loved and that is to write. It might be absolute tosh, but all the same, it makes my day that I have possibly connected with someone just from my thoughts and words!
2.) My husband. Again, it’s the biggest ”cheese on toast” statement of them all. But, he is my rock, my everything really. He’s not the most romantic guy in the world (if you ever marry a Farmers Son don’t expect roses!) but when he has those moments I know he truly means it.
3.) Spring. I love it when the nights start to get lighter, its lambing time down on the farm, the daffodils are starting to sprout. Everything is coming back to life after a bleak few months of winter.
4.) Shopping. My online shopping addiction is fast becoming one of my favourite things. It gives you that chance to mmm & ahhh over what to buy without all the frantic shoppers pushing you around.
5.) Alone time. Sometimes it is just nice to have day at home chilling out on your own. PJ’s, DVD on & a cup of tea. Spending time alone is seriously undervalued. No make up, no effort. It’s one of life’s little guilty pleasures.
6.) Travel. I love holidays and heading abroad. Who doesn’t like to seek sunnier climates (oh, unless you’re my father in law) I want to travel the world & I want to do it with the people I love. I really need to start saving once I have passed my driving test so I can finally visit those places on my to-do list.
7.) My beautiful family. After my granddad’s health scare last year, I will never ever take my family for granted. A dear friend of mine has just lost her granddad & it breaks my heart because we were so close and teetering on that tight rope last year. Always make time for your family.
8.) Learning new things. It’s so great to open your mind to things you might never have really thought about, decided to do or better yet learn from someone else. Every day you discover more & more about yourself and the world. Don’t be afraid to open your mind up to those things!
9.) Music. Music makes the world go round (is that the saying?) I love going to gigs & festivals, my dream would be to be part of corporation that puts together big festivals like Glastonbury & Leeds Festival. Music can trigger a whole range of emotions.
10.) Life itself. We were put on this earth to make babies and keep civilisation on a constant repeat. Lap it up. Enjoy your however many years you are here, by laughing, loving, enjoying, playing, partying, indulging and being all round awesome. I am starting to say YES to so much more now and I’m not looking back!
There is no key to it, there are no set rules it’s just all about the simple pleasures in life that can invigorate the body & mind. What one person might find enjoyable, another may detest! My monthly #HappySelves chat took place on Monday & it was so invigorating to see people join in & spread positivity. Everyone instilled it in themselves and they did that without tearing one another down. Isn’t that just a wonderful thing? There are days that you wish you could be someone else, or do things that someone else has the privilege to do. But do you know what I would not change my life for all the tea in china.
Have you felt inspired recently? Or had one of those long-awaited epiphany’s?

Jacket Cardigan Topshop | Top Primark | Skirt Primark | Knee High Boots New Look
I don’t know what it is about the 90’s vibe that we all love? The re-introduction of Clueless (thanks to Iggy’s ”I’m so fancy” summer hit) has reignited that love/hate relationship with all the tackiness that comes with the era of boy bands, inflatable chairs, lava lamps and any other aptly 90’s themed item you can think of. But I do know that I love the monochrome look, it’s at the forefront of fashion at the moment but I’m seeing it in a really ”androgynous” style too. I thought it was time to put a playful twist on it! My pleather skirt from Primark was a steal in the sales just before Christmas at a mere £3 even if I wore it once it was still going to have been worth it. The stripes are everywhere, I just love how typically Parisian it is – even my Mum comments on how much I wear stripes. Is it time to stop wearing them? Nah, I didn’t think so! This cardi/jacket is something I can’t live without, I picked this up on eBay & I constantly lean to it when I want a light jacket that isn’t too formal but not too casual! The boucle pattern is what does it for me I think. Have you got any classic ”decade” outfits that you go for? I see the 1970’s style is making a revival too, so get those bell bottoms out quick!

Top New Look | Trousers New Look | Loafers Aldi | Bracelets Mulberry & C/O Links of London
Sometimes, and I mean sometimes, I just want to rock a super casual look. Pale blue & patterned trousers are possibly two of my favourite looks at the moment and will be firmly coming in to the spring time with me. I tend to go oversized on most of my top garments, purely to cover up the ever growing lumps that I can graciously call my breasts. You laugh, but they can be a pain in the bottom. The loafers are a bargain buy that I found in Aldi (yes, you did hear me right. Aldi.) and they are really comfy. I just adore my bracelets and despite being two different metals, rose gold and silver, respectively, they just add to any outfit. It’s all about the details. Have you picked up any pieces that you were surprised of the quality recently?
