A couple of weeks ago I was invited to the relaunch of the Monki flagship store on Carnaby Street. I sashayed down with the lovely Chemmie from The Debrief, and saw some familiar faces such as the absolute babe that is Shope from Sassy Black, and met some new ones, including her twinny Shore, and the lovely Holly from Company.
The new store is really fantastic, and the event was a total success. Monki has such a youthful and fun vibe to its clothing, and this is really reflected in the brand's new look store. My favourite part had to be the amazing multi-coloured staircase, which was just about the most instagrammable feature of a store I had ever seen! We had some yummy snacks and drinks and browsed the new pieces and braid bar upstairs in the store. All in all it was a really lovely event and the new store is well worth a visit.
Whilst there, I just had to pick up this fantastic waistcoat/sleeveless jacket hybrid piece, which I got a nifty 20% off from due to the opening. I have wanted a piece like this for ages and love how versatile it is, looking great over anything from jeans and tees to cute dresses, open or closed. Long live Monki!

We all know the score: the minute boxing day comes around every year, it's time to scout out the best of the sale deals (online- I literally will never be bothered to hack actual sale shopping). This year I have already spotted some bits I plan on buying, including this cracking half-price Agent Provocateur underwear set (still a whopping £95...a snip, right?!) and a bright banana yellow blazer from Zara- who also have some really great faux fur jackets at total barg prices.
But for me, it's all about ASOS when it comes to sales, or, well, just about anything fash-related. I've trawled through dozens of pages to share with you my top picks (admittedly, many of them were just in my saved items basket and have now gone down in price but ssssh). As a huge Monki fan, there's lots from there in my selection, but also a couple of ASOS white/reclaimed vintage buys, and some stuff from the ASOS main line and other brands. Enjoy! (You can thank me later)
