'Instagram meets eBay'

Hello beautiful!

Ok, if you don't personally know me there are two things you should know: 1. I love buying clothes (some find happiness in love, I find happiness in a new dress) and 2. I am so cheap (I once travelled all the way to Leeds because I refuse to pay full price for Ark clothing!)

Usually, if I'm not looking for anything in particular or if I'm on a budget I love to have a look on eBay and see what bargains I can find. 

However, sometimes I find it difficult to find anything suitable for my age range. And if you wanted to sell something via eBay, you could pay almost a pound just for putting the item online!

However, this has all changed.

'Depop' is the latest selling app; combining the greatness and ideas of eBay with the layout and quirkiness of Instagram. All you have to do is take a photo (with no charge for the amount of photos you upload, yay!) write a description with hashtags (like Instagram)and name a price - it is exceedingly simple!

The only money that will be taken off you is once the item is sold, and even then it's only 10%.  

I will admit, I am totally in love with this app and have been severely addicted to it since I downloaded it on Sunday.

In that time, I have purchased my dream mom jeans (as seen below) two Jack Wills tops (one of which was a measly £4) and a red Fred Perry jacket.

If you haven't tried this app, then I would recommend you give it a go. The app is completely free and it's also free to join. What have you got to lose?!

What are your thoughts on the app?

Clothes review: Dorothy Perkins and New Look

I love the festive season: the food, the family time where no arguments will take place, the joy across people's faces when they open their presents ... Always a feel-good factor. With all this being said, there's nothing better than the Boxing Day sales/ January sales. This year, most of my Christmas money went on my favourite bath range Soap & Glory (which I will be reviewing soon) and my new addiction Lush (again, I shall be review a few of the products soon).

I struggled however to find any clothes or shoes I desired, which is odd for me seeing as I would consider myself a shopaholic. Everywhere I looked I couldn't find anything I wanted. So I turned to the Internet and managed to find some gorgeous items at Dorothy Perkins (with an extra 15% off every sale Item, how could i resist!):



Both of the tops were £10, knock down from £26(ish) and the dress was £12 instea of £45. Total bargains if you ask me!

They arrived promptly in the post and I can happily say that I am happy with my purchases! I shall be hopefully wearing all my clothes this week :)

I also managed to pick up some GORGEOUS leopard print ankle boots from New Look for just £12! (bargain!)



Usually heels give me terrible footache (damn size 4 feet) but I can safely say these did not give me any such ache! a total pleasure to be in :)

Stay tuned darlings!
