Bargin hunting at it's finest!

I've always been a fan of bargain shopping and getting a great deal. So each season I look afar to the other side of the globe and hunt for the best prices on the previous seasons styles.

Being in Australia and having the opposite seasons we have the ability to nab some amazing goodies with price tags slashed! We can even get the latest fashions in advance prior to them hitting Australia shore at a fraction of the the price.

I also came across this great infographic that allows you to test your skills on whether you can spot a good deal or not. Try it out and see if you can spot the great deal and the not so great ones.

But currently I'm on the look out for winter warmers, great jackets and all the essential items that I need to add to my winter wardrobe. My bargain deal destination - ASOS! They have an up to 70% off section so you will find so many awesome deals!

Here are a few good deals I've stumbled across that go instantly into my cart!

Now that's my current bargain/hot deal list for winter. What's on yours?

Mac Madness!

Well winter has well and truly hit Melbourne and we are all on the hunt for our winter warmers!

My lust list is now being filled with the most important thing any stylish girl needs for a chilly Melbourne Winter, the perfect Mac!I find the Trench Coat/Mac style of jacket to be the most flattering for an hourglass shape.

So  I headed to ASOS in search of mac filled goodness and shoes, because I'm addicted to shoes!

 

ASOS Classic Mac - $93.50

Classic shape Mac in classic black! This is a sleek and sophisticated wardrobe staple. If you don't own a black mac yet order one asap!

A Wear Trench Coat with Bird Print - $104.00

Already have a plain black mac? How about a printed jacket with adorable little orange and white birds? This style in the same classic shape is unique and if you are looking for something to make you stand out a little more this is the jacket.

ASOS Pleated Swing Mac - $110.50

Green in colour, flirty shape and a peter pan collar - swoons! Now this is a perfect shape if you love the Mod look and I'm loving the knee high socks paired with this style. This is also a perfect colour for redheads.

ASOS Mac with contrast panels - $95.20 (on sale) 

This is my stand out favorite, so please excuse me while I make grabby hands at screen. This is so classic and retro inspired! I've been looking at many styles recently with panels in leather but none have won me over. I'm in love with the textured boucle panel on the back, gun flaps to the chest, collar, waistband and cuffs of this jacket! I'm already making outfit and shoe choices in my head with this in mind. 

I'm also adding these two printed pairs of perfection to my lust list :

 

ASOS PICKLE Heart Print Platform Mary Jane Shoe - $42.50

ASOS PARAMOUNT Wedge Court Shoes - $59.50

How amazing are these printed shoes? I'm looking at more interesting styles and prints in footwear at the moment to wear with simple black outfits and LBD's.

Summer Style

Now that Melbourne is seems to have finally figured out its summer time I'm thinking about what I want to add to my wardrobe over the next few months. Pieces that can work with both through the scorching heat we will have and then move into Autumn.

While web window shopping I've found the following.

I want to wear this over all my black jeans and shorts with big chunky heels

ASOS Jersey Pencil Skirt £20.00

Simple wardrobe staple that can be worn with anything! This also comes in a brown shade

This summer I'm made about sheer light weight tops, this is a very sweet print and I love the features pussy bow.

Back in Black Denim Skirt from 17Sundays $89.95

I've never owned a denim skirt so this year I will invest in one. 17 Sundays is a new Australian plus size label who I will be reviewing in he future so look out for my updates.

Alisi Nadia Black 1 Piece $179.00

I have 3 swimsuits but none of them are black - shock horror! This one piece I have been lusting over for a long time now. Its perfect for any curvy woman who does not want to show her arms while swimming. I would also team this up with high waisted jeans and shorts and wear this as a bodysuit.

I can't forget some vital and very cute accessories as well.

Top Shop Premium Black Leather Five Buckle Corset Belt £40.00 and 2 Ball Chiffon Bangles £8.25

I need to add other colour belts to my collection as I want to to mix and match with lighter floral's and more earthy tones. This belt is perfect for that and so cheap!

Little Black Dress

Well hello there Spring!

Spring has finally sprung her in Melbourne and I wanted to share my recent purchase. I needed a little black dress to wear out to dinner last night and I found this adorable number in Target! Yes Target and for the nifty price of $49.00

I would usually buy more of a figure hugging shape but i thought this could work both day and night due to the A-line skirt. The lace top is stunning, my crappy camera can't to it justice!

Simply accessorized with my over sized black glasses from Jeepers Peepers and a little fabric flower that also doubles as a headband or choker from Diva.

I've got so many shoes that I though I'd show case these today though I wore this dress with boots last night to keep warm.

I'm actually looking to sell these amazing pumps as they have never been worn other than for this photo. I don't get much use for this style sadly and I'm looking to pass them onto a good home.

They are a size 10US and are a perfect fit for my 10AUS foot. Easy to walk in, very yummy and make your legs look amazing!

Here are some options if you want to find a dress like this to wear for any occasion.

Casual


ASOS Curve Cotton Crochet Trim Chick Dress - $53.92USD



ASOS Fit and Flare Dress - $64.40USD


Cocktail



Igigi Venice Dress - $168USD
