£5 Clothing Sample Sale

A while back, a friend of mine shared a 'Clothing Sample Sale' event on Facebook and it immediately caught my eye. I'm all about bargains and as the event stated that there will be new, in-season stock I just had to check it out.

I've now been to the event twice - in May and June. It is held the last Sunday of each month at a storage place. They are selling clothes from all brands - mostly brands sold at ASOS, Urban Outfitters, Topshop and Marks & Spencers. The best part is that everything costs £5, regardless of what the item is - jeans, jackets, coats, cardigans, tops... it really is a shopping paradise! I am such a fashionista so if there is even the tiniest chance that I can get my hands on something before it hits the shops, then I am all in!

A lot of clothes being sold are hung up but there is also a big, long table in the middle of the room piled with stuff. I actually prefer the table - it is fun and much more exciting to dig and stumble across something nice.

I don't want to go overboard so I've decided to bring a maximum of £20 pounds with me each time. So far I have been able to spend it all but I have to admit it has been the best £40 I have spent in a while. I have added 8 new items to my wardrobe - 4 pairs of trousers/jeans and 4 cardigans/jumpers.

Luckily, the next sale is almost here!

Glossybox - Iconic Hollywood Edition

This month Glossybox takes us a step back in time and worships Hollywood beauty royalty. There are four collector's edition boxes with different coloured bottoms and a Marilyn Monroe print on the cover. My box is a mint green and looking very pretty - definitely worth keeping. The box contains 5 beauty products - 3 of them full size. The products are inspired by the silver screen stars whose elegant and timeless beauty is still as relevant as it was then. The Lord & Berry Lipstick Pencil and POP Beauty Kajal Eyelines Pen are both essential to achieve a time-honoured look - a red lip and feline flick. Eyes and lips are the windows to the soul - when I am doing my make up, I like to concentrate on them the most. I am glad Glossybox chose these classic staples for this month. Lord & Berry Lipstick Pencil in Kiss is the perfect Marilyn red. It's in pencil form which makes the application really easy and because it has the matte finish, it can be glosse

4 Days in Rome / Day 2 More sightseeing and tours

We planned for Monday to be our main sightseeing day. The morning was started with breakfast at our hotel before we left at 10am. A bus to the city centre took us just 10 minutes - €1.20 for one way ticket. Our first stop was at Piazza Venezia, a major circus and known as the central hub of Rome. The majority of Rome's popular tourist attractions are easily accessible from here and are within walking distance. The Altare della Patria (Altar of the Fatherland) caught my eye and we decided to see it up close. This monument was built in 1925 in honour of King Victor Emmanuel, making it quite a new attraction compared to the rest of the Rome and its architecture. From the top of the building you can see a 360 degree view of Rome. A ticket to the top costs €7 but you can stay on the roof as long as you like! Our next stop was Santa Maria in Aracoeli , another beautiful Catholic church with a monumental staircase. While you can see the Col

Jewellery box

It is time to take a look inside my jewellery box! I don't wear many accessories during the winter. Why? Maybe because I am all wrapped up and it can be so annoying when earrings, necklaces, bracelets and so on get caught on the extra clothes. But now that spring has arrived, it is time to take all of my accessories out and start wearing them! I had actually forgotten how much I had in this box - it was such a surprise. It felt like I had just bought them again! I found loads of hair clips and hairbands, which were all ordered from eBay. I don't think I have paid over £5 for any one of them (postage and packing included). They came from China and like everybody knows, it takes about a month for them to arrive! This peacock hair clip is my favourite. I have worn it a couple of times and I can't really complain about the quality. It actually looks like it is worth a bit more than the £2 I paid. I love these two hair clips. Th
