Access All Asos Secret Santa

This year Asos have come up with the Access All Asos Secret Santa and i was lucky enough to be involved. The AAASecretSanta is for Asos insiders and is a way to get in the festive spirit and spread a little festive joy with other bloggers, all insiders involved receive an email with their Secret Santa recipient and are given a £15 gift code from Asos to buy them a gift. 

I just thought what a lovely idea not only did i find it quite exciting at the idea of giving someone else a gift but of course the thought of getting one myself. 

Initially we were only given our Secret Santa name and address in which to find them and try and have a little stalk on social media to find out a bit about them, however even being the queen stalker that i am i found this to be a bit difficult and so was very relieved when the Asos team then sent round everyones twitter handles. After a bit of stalking i felt i had got an idea of the sort of thing my secret santa would like and i made my order. I choose to get the gifts delivered to me first as i wanted to package it nicely, and add a few festive sweet treats and a card. 

I took a lot of pride in my gift, and it felt really nice putting so much effort into a present for  a complete stranger but thats why i think its a nice idea, and i was very happy when my secret santa tweeted saying she loved her presents. 

I was so excited when i received my own gift, i did feel a little naughty opening it before Christmas but i couldn't resist. My secret santa the lovely Charlotte had picked an assortment of little gifts for me and  she had obviously had a stalk of me too as she knew I'm really into my nail stuff, so along with my nail wraps and files she picked some anatomicals face masks and some gold midi rings which i also love. Like myself my Secret Santa choose to get my gifts sent to her first so she could wrap them and add a card which i was really happy about, its a great personal touch and it was so nice to open like having a blogger pen pall. 

I thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the Access All Asos Secret Santa i think it was a great idea and i really hope Asos do it again next year. 

OOTD Pre Spring Pastels

Coat- Asos (Here)

Jumper- Missguided (Here)

Jeans- Topshop (Here)

Boots- River Island

Necklace- Primark (Here)

The slight improvement in weather lately has made me so ready for spring, and this has definitely affected how i want to dress. Of course saying that the weather was pretty rubbish yesterday when these pictures were taken but that typically seems to happen when i decide to photograph my outfit, sorry guys it was my fault! I am really feeling pastels at the moment, they are everywhere on the hightstreet and i have picked up a few new bits to add a bit of colour to my wardrobe. This beautiful mint cocoon coat is one of my newest buys, its actually Asos Petite and at 5'6 i no i don't really qualify but i prefere the shorter length, i don't really like very long coats so its perfect, the cocoon shape has taken some getting used to as i usually wear more fitted styles but its nice to mix things up a bit. Im pretty sure everyone is familiar with the jeans by now, these Topshop Joni Gingham jeans have been featured on so many blogs now they were a bold choice for me but i love them, and i think they look great with pastels like this cute cropped jumper from Missguided. 

Anybody else got the pastel bug? How do you wear yours?

Five of my Top Money Saving Fashion Websites!

To me fashion is not about where your clothes are from and how much they cost, its about your individual style and the things you choose to wear, that most importantly make you feel good! As much as i would love to buy designer dresses and shoes i just don't have the money to. Luckily looking good doesn't mean having to spend a fortune, affordable fashion is much more readily available thanks to some of the amazing fashion websites around today.

So without further ado i will share with you my top five favorites for saving money......

Missguided

I have been a fan of Missguided for a while now and to me they just keep getting better and better! There fashion is affordable, always on trend and good quality. If i am looking for an outfit for a night out of particular occasion this would be the first place i would look. I particularly love their dresses and playsuits and its great knowing you can buy one for under £30! As well as clothing they also stock great footwear and accessories. I think there prices really are good and well they just continue to impress me!

Fashion Vouchers

Fashion vouchers is a great website featuring voucher codes and offers from some of the top brands! This really is the place to look to find some of the best money saving deals around from amazing fashion brands such as, Miss Seldridge, Dorothy Perkins, Motel Rocks and Rare to name a few. They also have a Top 10 category for some of the best offers currently available, some of there current offers include, up to 60% off the sale at Office and New look, and up to 70% off the sale at ASOS, House of Fraser, Kurt Guiger and Pauls Boutique!! You would have to be crazy not to check this website out!!

ASOS

Asos describes itself as "Your one-stop fashion destination" and i would have to agree! I think Asos has got to be the ultimate fashion website, it literally has everything! Different brands to suit every budget, high street to designer and also fashion from there own brand. What is also great is the ASOS marketplace a place where you can pick up great bargains from people, business, and boutiques selling there own labels and personal clothing.

topcashback

Topcashback is a website that actually pays you to shop!! Doesn't that sound like a dream?! The idea behind it is that you sign up to topcash back and click through your selected merchant to shop on there website and when you make a purchase you receive money back for that purchase! I personally think its an amazing idea and a great way to save money. They currently have cashback offers from some great fashion websites and brands such as, ASOS, Debenhams, Next, Very, Boohoo and French Connection. Topcashback also offer cashback on everything from electricals to travel websites, it really is worth signing up to. 

H&M

I have been very impressed with H&M, lately i have picked up some great pieces of clothing from them, they have some lovely stuff in this season but most impressively is the price, i really do not no a lot of websites where you can buy a jumper for as cheap as £7.99! H&M also do some amazing designer collaborations allowing you to get your hands on some great designer pieces with high street prices.

So there you have it my top five money saving fashion websites. I hope you enjoyed reading my favorites, i would love to read your comments about your favorite money saving websites.
