Welcome To eFoxcity

If, like me, you love a good bargain then eFoxcity is the site for you. I only very recently discovered the China based online retailer and I was very impressed with their range of clothing, mainly consisting of women's clothing, cheap homecoming dresses and prom dresses, and with prom season fast approaching if you need a dress eFoxcity is definitely worth a browse. They have a gorgeous selection at a fraction of the price of your average prom dress.

The main thing about this site that caught my eye is the prices. They just scream "Bargain!" at me, with many of the women's clothing pieces costing a mere £10 or less. For example, the little white lace mini dress I have picked out above is a bargainous £7.62 and the pretty little collar necklace will only set you back the tiny amount of £3.53. What's not to love?

Where Has Time Gone?

I actually could not believe my eyes when I saw that my last post was in February... February!! I know we put the clocks forward for daylight saving a few weeks ago, but I appear to have lost two months not just an hour! I just don't know where the time has gone and I have missed the blogosphere so much that I am determined to be more organised and even try my hand at scheduling posts. I'm hoping that I'm not so technically challenged that it will be a complete disaster.

So, I thought I'd kickstart my return to blogging with a little outfit post of what I wore for a meal at the weekend. I've been really struggling with shopping lately, which is probably not a bad thing for my purse with the way I like to spend, but I'm hoping now the weather is starting to warm up all the summer collections lining the shop rails will seem a bit more enticing. I did however go on a little shopping trip after my birthday last week and picked up this bargain of a dress for £12...

Dress - Dorothy Perkins

Watch - Michael Kors

Earrings and Shoes - New Look

I'd also love to know what you'd like to see more of on my blog, so let me know in the comments below.

Black Crochet

Dress - Topshop

Boots - Matalan

Firstly I would like to apologise for the poor lighting in these photos. It is such a struggle to take decent outfit photos one these horrible dull days. Anyway, this is one of the dresses I got out of the Topshop sale after Christmas and it was only £15. You can't really tell that well in the picture, thanks to the bad lighting, but the dress has a lovely thick dark aubergine slip. It looks lovely under the black crochet overlay and really helps keep me warm. As much as a crocheted dress can keep you warm in the winter anyway. I also love the bell sleeves on this dress and think I'll be getting a fair bit of wear out of this dress. I decided to wear this dress with my little purple velvet chelsea boots, which I haven't worn nearly as much as I would've liked since I bought them. I guess I didn't really think about the practicality of velvet in the winter rain and snow. I still love them though.

Hope you have a great weekend :)

Mini Accessorize Sale Haul

It has just occured to me, after recieving a nice little Topshop parcel yesterday, that I haven't actually shared any of my sale shopping with you. To be honest, I am trying to save money for more "sensible" things so I haven't actually done that much shopping recently apart from this little accessory haul and a couple of naughty Topshop orders.

Here is what I picked up out of the Accessorize sale a couple of weeks ago...

Necklace - £14 reduced to £7

Earrings - £9 reduced to £4.50

Earrings - £6 reduced to £3

Rimmel Precious Stones

Ruby Crush - Precious Stones by Rimmel

It's been a while since I've done a nail post on here but as soon as I brushed this polish onto my nails I just knew I had to share it with you. I got this nail polish at Christmas thinking it would be perfect for the festive season, all red and glittery. If I'm being honest, I didn't exactly have high expectations of it and just expected it to be like any other glitter polish, thinking I would need several coats for any substantial amount of glitter coverage.

Well Rimmel, you have proved me wrong. These pictures really do not show just how beautiful and sparkly this nail polish is but as you can see I managed to achieve full on glitter nails. Even better, I managed to do this in just two coats. Yes, you heard that right, just two coats as opposed to the usual 4 or 5 I have to ply onto my nails with other glitter polishes to get anywhere near this amount of coverage.

You can see better in the second picture that this polish is made up of lots of tiny flecks of red glitter and larger flecks of silver glitter. You can't really tell from this picture but it sparkles so prettily in the light. Like every other glitter polish it can be a right pain to remove but when it looks this pretty who really wants to take it off?

At the moment Precious Stones is only available in two shades, this one and Diamond Dust, which is a grey and silver glitter. I'm really hoping Rimmel decide to do this polish in more colours though as this polish has made it pretty fast to the top of my list of favourite glitter polishes.

What do you think of Rimmel Precious Stones? Have you tried this one or the Diamond Dust shade?

Monochrome Madness

If there's one trend that you cannot miss right now, it's Monochrome. It's highly unlikely that you will be able to walk into any store right now without seeing a sea of black and white amongst the rails. As a lover of black, this brings me nothing but delight. Don't get me wrong I love a bit of colour in my wardrobe, but if there is one colour I find myself constantly going back to, it is black, and I don't think that will ever change. And what colour goes better with black than any other colour? Why white, of course! So this trend is right up my street. Here are just a few of my favourites available on the High Street right now...

High Waist Harlequin Skinny Pants and Alex Black and White Peplum Dress from Motel - Motel have a great new collection of monochrome prints for the new season and these are just two of my favourites. So if, like me, you're a fan of this trend I suggest you head on over to their site and take a look. If something takes your fancy don't forget to use my discount code "misssadiek" and for this week only get 25% off your order.

Star and Stripe Nail Wraps from Boohoo - If going all out in black and white stripes is a little too Beetlejuice for you then these nails wraps from Boohoo are a great way to work the trend into your look.

Moto Striped Shorts, Katz Cut Out Shoes and Quilted Box Chain Bag from Topshop - I love these shoes and think they would look perfect with some little frilly ankle socks. If I had to give another reason why I love this trend so much it is because, for as long as I can remember, I have admired Chanel and a classic black and white look makes me think of them. That is why I love this bag. To me there is something very Chanel-esque about it with it's chain strap and quilted bottom.

What do you think of the Monochrome trend? Yay or Nay?

Is it Christmas Again?

It has barely stopped snowing today and it has got me feeling more Christmassy than I actual felt at Christmas. I knew all it was missing was a bit of snow! How nice would it have been if it had been snowing like this on Christmas Day? I have to say I'm not enjoying the cold so much though, but luckily I have this cosy new knit to keep me warm...
