Frugal Take Off (Bagged In The Sale)

Whenever the new season Plumo catalogue drops through my door, I love to earmark a couple of things to watch for in the sale. I love the aesthetics of Plumo and have had a few really good bargains in the past, never date and really really good quality. A woollen shawl and a sarong that have travelled everywhere with me.

But this isn't a post about Plumo - it's a take off of the Plumo outfit I chose here, but from Next. Now it may not look as cool, it may not last as long, but I was pretty chuffed with my purchases. Bagged in the sale too. Total cost twenty pounds! Below Plumo, followed by moi!

 

Not as baggy and grungy but I like! Wearing my trusty Kurt Geiger Lizzy's. Fourth pair - love em!

 I also love, love, loved this wallet. Expensive +++. But for Christmas from my hubby received the gorgeous black lamb leather wallet from Hush (seen after this picture).

A snip compared to Plumo and I love, love, love it!! I now use it instead of a handbag as it fits my phone, keys, money and lipbalm perfectly! It's all I carry!

Still wanting these though! Keeping an eye out for them to be dropped further still! 

Have you bagged any bargains this January? I didn't go hustling to Next, I couldn't cope. This was a passing by and I'll just drop in....and there they were waiting!!

I hope you are enjoying the New Year so far. Wrap up - they say snow is on the way. Already had some here in Lancashire! XX

Plumo Autumn

I'm a big Plumo lover & whilst I've been away their latest collection has dropped through my door.

I love the simple aesthetics, the photography backdrops, that the clothes have a raw edge to them, a little different. They also tend to be expensive. However, when I have bought (in the sale) I have always been impressed with the quality (and the compliments!)

So here, if money were no object (& if I had not spent Summer paring back all our my belongings including clothes) are my top picks;

Khaki Drill Pants

Grey Striped Sweater

 Faux Shearling Coat

 Vibrant Socks

Lace Up Platform

 Wallet

Can just see me dashing through town wearing all the above!
What do you think?

Holiday Outfits

So, I said I would share the few clothes I wore on holiday with you -

Beach / Poolside - Tankini, often worn with a skirt or sarong.

 Quick wash & dry overnight & I'm all set for the next day!

This sarong / throw / shawl has travelled everywhere with me the last few years -

 bought from Plumo it has been worth every penny  - I LOVE it!

& wear it around my waist..

Or as a dress!

Beach / Poolside Essentials :-)

Longchamp Tote & Birkenstocks

White Stuff Bag & Jigsaw Skirt

Union Jack Dress from NEXT (I love the subtlety of this dress)!

Fat Face Maxi

Chilli Pepper Skirt & NEXT Vest 

& that's it - my travelling light wardrobe!

Bye for now!

Let There Be Light...

....at the end of the tunnel as I prepare for my cycling holiday - finish work tomorrow for a week - YAY!

 The sun is supposed to be shining every day - hoping to come back with a bit of a Yorkshire tan, albeit a cyclists tan - straight lines across arms and legs!!

I've been wanting to show this beautiful rustic clamp light I bought from Plumo. I love the metal finish and the rustic ironwork of the clamp - & of course the heart :-)

 It's in a cosy corner of the lounge clamped to the window sill in my preferred spot to sit and read - IT'S MINE!!

Plumo currently have a sale - click the link to take a look!
