Halloween is my thing.

If only all these things were mine too…

Fire at ASOS Warehouse forces them to take their website down for unknown period

Sad news folks 😦

ASOS warehouse caught fire last night. Fortunately no one was hurt but they have, understandably, taken asos.com down until they can assess the damage.

When you visit the website you will be greeted by the following message:

ASOS Fire

 

 

ASOS is my favourite online store because they have great products and they provide great service to their customers. I hope the company recovers from this tragedy soon.

Marie Meili – My New Favourite Lingerie Brand

04 Wednesday Dec 2013

Hey 🙂

So I was just torturing myself by browsing the ASOS website and looking at all the pretty things that I can’t afford right now when I stumbled across lingerie from Marie Meili.

Their stuff is gorgeous!

Now, I can be a bit of a cheap-skate, especially when it comes to lingerie since it’s not like you can go around showing it off. I usually try not to pay more than £10 for a bra (yes I really am that cheap)  but the Marie Meilli stuff is all so nice that I was adding loads of it to my saved ASOS items without looking at the prices. Luckily for my bank balance the prices are pretty reasonable if you are a normal person willing to spend more than £10 on a bra and justifiable if you are a scrimper like me. When I have some cash to spend on lingerie I will buy some from Marie Meili and review the quality, fit etc. but for now I can only show you how unbelievably pretty their stuff is. All the sets below are from ASOS and all the pieces can be purchased individually or as a set.

Here are just some of the sets that I loved:

Marie Meili Ambitious Set £28.00 from ASOS

Marie Meili Ambitious Set £28.00 from ASOS

Marie Meili Safira Set £37.00 from ASOS

Marie Meili Safira Set £37.00 from ASOS

Marie Meili Wilma Set £15.00 from ASOS

Marie Meili Wilma Set £15.00 from ASOS

Marie Meili Tanith Set £28.00 from ASOS

Marie Meili Tanith Set £28.00 from ASOS

The set below is my favourite  🙂

Marie Meili Varia Set £27.00 from ASOS

Marie Meili Varia Set £27.00 from ASOS

So anyway, I think these sets look really cool and I thought you might like to know about them. I just hope that I haven’t shot myself in the foot by telling everyone about them and then having them sell-out before I can buy some. I suppose if everyone likes them as much as me then ASOS and Marie Meili will be sure to go on working together so I shouldn’t really have anything to worry about.

Do any of you own Marie Meili lingerie? Would you recommend it? What is your favourite brand of lingerie?  Leave a comment  and let me know.

ASOS, Bargains, Coats, outerwear, Sale, Winter

Hey Everyone,

Sorry for my lack of posts, they have slowed down lately because I’m back at uni. I have completed my first 2 weeks of semester and got on top of things so the posts will be more regular from now on 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, now for the real news – ASOS are having an amazing up to 60% off  sale on Sunday. The sale is for outerwear items and it looks like they will have coats starting from just £15 – you will need to get in there quick.

For more info and to find out how to get early access just click here – http://www.asos.com/120920-Women-Coats-Timed-Sale/Cat/pgehtml.aspx?cid=16312&affId=6959&WT.tsrc=Email

Here are some outerwear pieces that are available from ASOS at the moment, I haven’t put any prices in because who knows what price they will be on Sunday?

 

 

 

 

 

I love all of these but the white fluffy one is definately my favourite – it looks so warm.

Anyway I just thought that this is something that you would all want to know about. Look out for more posts soon.

Thanks for checking out my blog 🙂
