My camera print bargains!

As you may have noticed I'm a big fan of printed dresses and I also love my camera so when I saw this camera print dress and this cute bag I just had to have them especially as they're in the sale!
This bag was just £18.00 reduced from £40.00 from www.yumidirect.co.uk.

The bag and the dress are both by Yumi, which is a brand I have purchased from before from ASOS.com.
The Yumi website didn't have the dress in my size so I bought it from www.usc.co.uk. It cost £25.00 and said it was reduced from £50.00, but on the Yumi website it was only £22.50 in limited sizes and said it was reduced from £45.00.




I am trying to refrain from buying more clothes at the minute as I've run out of space for what I've got and I could do with saving some money. Some of the autumn dresses I have been seeing are incredibly tempting though.

From Versace skirts to ASOS sundresses!

I'm loving this Versace skirt for Spring/ Summer 2014 shown off at Milan Fashion Week this week.
I best get saving for it now!


I didn't even manage to get anything when Versace did their range for H&M. The H&M website sold out of everything I liked as soon as it was released. I love the black skirt and all of the fruit printed clothes and shoes they did.



Then Marni did a range for H&M including dresses and a skirt in this print.



I recognised the print straight away from an ASOS dress I had purchased in early 2010 with the exact same print, which cost just £28.00. I like the long sleeved Marni dress above on the left, but the hooded dress is not for me. I think my dress is a lot more wearable.

Plenty of Prints for me!


A few days ago I noticed a billboard advertising boohoo.com with, 'Pretty in prints', which was the name of my 31st August post. I didn't copy, honest!
The picture to go with it was of this dress..



I am not a fan of it myself. I don't like the black seams or the cut out design. I don't mind the print too much, but when I think of printed dresses I like to think of cute, ditsy prints that are more feminine and pretty than this heavily patterned dress.

I have gone crazy for prints this week and I have spent far too much money building up my collection and I am spending even more in my head drooling over even more pretty prints.

I ordered 4 new dresses from New Look’s website yesterday.

1) Mela Loves London Cream and Red Fruit Print Dress - This dress was in the sale for just £15.00 reduced from £25.00. I love the summery print and it has a lovely flattering shape.

2) New Look Burgundy Heart Print Pleated Sleeve Dress - I love this dress. It is a beautiful cut. The colour is gorgeous and looks great with the heart print. I absolutely love it and can't wait to wear it. It can easily be dressed up or down. It is really versatile. It only cost £19.99. Great design and great value, just like New Look's shoes!

3) Blue Vanilla Blue Blossom Floral Print Dress - Another flattering fit with gorgeous cherry blossom on blue skies. I love cherry blossom. This is a really pretty design. I paid £25.00, which I think is very reasonable.

4) Tenki Red Owl Print Dress - This cute owl print dress had me frustrated. I didn't know whether to buy it in dark blue or dark red, but ended up getting the dark red version. I love the print. This dress was £25.00.


I found a few dresses that I liked on boohoo.com at the weekend so I put an order in.

1) Imogen Feather Print Heart Back Skater Dress – This dress is described as mint coloured. It has an orange and pink feather print. It is feminine and summery. It was in the sale for just £10.00 reduced from £20.00. I absolutely love it.

2) Laura Sleeveless Printed Floral Skater Dress – A lovely pink, purple and green floral print dress, which was an absolute bargain at just £12.00 reduced from £18.00.

3) Maya Large Rose Print Knot Back Maxi Dress – I tend to only wear maxi dresses when I go on holiday and I try not to load my case full of them as they can be quite heavy so I try not to buy too many, but this colourful, large rose print maxi dress with the open back was too much for me to resist at only £12.00 reduced from £25.00.

I will be browsing Boohoo’s website a lot more in the future after finding these gems.
I also ordered this pretty printed dress from House of Fraser. It is by Cutie and it cost just £20.00. The colour is lovely and the print is small and cute.


ASOS Petite Exclusive Skater Dress In Floral Print - I love this dress. I ordered it at the weekend in 'orange' although it looks red to me, but I love the blue and I really want it in blue too although they don't currently stock my size. It is on sale in limited sizes for £24.50 reduced from £35.00.



River Island Printed Smock Dress - I also decided to add this River Island dress to my collection. I love the busy, paisley pattern.
It cost £25.00 from ASOS.com.

Modatoi - shoe paradise!

www.modatoi.co.uk is a website which I came across a few years ago and I have made a few orders since then.
They sell shoes and clothing and although I have never ordered clothes from this site. I have ordered plenty of shoes though.
They have fantastic designs, a good range of heel heights and the prices are great! Almost all of their shoes cost £20.00-£30.00 and I have found a few gems.

Below are my absolute favourites from this website. They are so beautiful and they only cost me £30.00, which I think is fantastic value!
They are well made and the quality is just as you would expect to find on the high street.




They have a huge range of shoes in all different colours, shapes and sizes. Many designs are available in a range of different colours and you search by size so that you don't have to see what you're missing ie. what is unavailable in your size!




This pair are another pair I love. A simple pair of Mary Janes with unique colours, these shoes look really smart and I love them. These were only £20.00!


Below are another pair I bought earlier this year. I love the chunky textured effect heel and platform on them and they go with almost anything. This pair of shoes originally cost £30.00, but during a sale I got them for just £19.00! Bargain!



I would recommend www.modatoi.co.uk. It is definitely worth checking out.
