MY VISIT TO TENNERSTORE.COM HQ



Nowadays there are a lot of online shopping companies giving you the ability to buy every and anything without you needing to leave the comfort of your own home or bed for that matter. (Yes I do online shopping in bed its the best place for it) But I haven't found many companies that are as reasonably priced as Tennerstore, from the name i'm pretty certain you can get the gist of what this company is about they sell clothes, shoes, and accessories for £10 and under and yes that is everything which is what amazed me the most.

on my visit to the Tennerstore HQ I was able to browse the website, which I do anyway on a regular basis but I also got to choose a few items for myself so I chose a few pieces that I thought would be good for the new year.




Firstly I chose this mustard little girl jumper because it is still extremely chilly so knitwear is needed and I went for this colour because it went well with my complexion and keeps me away from those dark colours I tent to reach for when it's cold and the little girl just gave it a really cute vintage feel to it that I loved.



I also got this Daisy print dress, which I think will be really nice for the Spring, when it decides to grace us with it's presence. It caught my eye on the website because it's a pretty simple dress but I love the print. Im a pretty black and white person when it comes to fashion so this is right up my street and I have a few black dresses but none of them as pretty as this so I had to get it.
 I got a few other items but I will be talking about them in a later post.

Overall I think Tennerstore is pretty good as they have items you'd see in your typical high street stores but for a fraction of the price so make sure you have a wonder on their website you can also find them on Facebook and Instagram where they do weekly deals.

Until next time xx

VINTAGE BASEMENT BRICK LANE



Vintage basement is one of many vintage shops in Brick Lane, but what sets them apart from the others for me is probably the price, It's the most reasonable Vintage store I know of in Brick Lane but the quality of products they sell are still amazing.
They have two floors, the full priced stock is on the the the main floor and the reduced items are downstairs on the bargain floor where everything starts from £5 and the amount of stock they have, I could of spent hours in there trying stuff on.




On my visit to Brick Lane I was looking for a long cardigan preferably black for work but I had an open mind, I looked through the knitwear section and found the most amazing grey cape style wool blend cardigan and instantly I had to have it, I wasn't putting it down I mean for starters it was probably warmer then all the knitwear I already own and secondly it was only £29.
I tried it on and I didn't want to take it off it was so cosy, its one of those cardigans you can wear on a not so chilly day or even if you are going shopping, it makes you look like you've made a lot more effort than you actually have and thats what I love about it.


I've worn it to go to Westfield and for me Westfield is one of those places that I never know what to wear because if I'm in a coat I get extremely hot and need to take it off but anything less and I end up freezing my ass of on the journey there and back but with this cardigan I was warm travelling there and back and while walking around the shopping centre I was comfortable enough that I forgot I was wearing it.



Vintage Basement Is definitely a store I will be visiting on a regular basis, they stock amazing one off items that you need in you're everyday wardrobe and they also do a customer loyalty.
Vintage basement can be found just off Brick Lane on Cheshire street and you can also find them on Facebook and Instagram so make sure you check them out.
Until next time xx

WINTER WARMERS


Im a huge fan of the Winter mostly because I love wrapping up or staying at home watching a movie with a duvet and a cup of tea so I figured I would share a few of my winter warmer favourites of this year.

Firstly this Herringbone oversized scarf (£18) I got from asos a few weeks ago is like my baby I love it. Its so warm and cosy, it compliments every outfit and I love the herringbone print because it makes the simplest coat look a little more dressed up.



Second is Whittard's Dream time instant tea (£5.50). I havn't had this tea in a few years but one day after work I was walking to Tottenham Court Road and I passed the Whittard of Chelsea store and I had to go in and see if they still did this tea, which they did.
The girl that served me told me they no longer displayed it on the shelf in that particular store but they had it behind the counter.
I love this tea it smells so yummy, its honey, apricot and vanilla flavoured and is perfect on a cold winter night just before bed.


Lastly candles. I'm a huge fan of candles especially scented ones they make your house feel so homely and cosy and they make me want to stay in that much more. this big one I got from United Colours Of Benetton (£7) which has a subtle talc scent and it leaves my room smelling like baby powder which I am liking a lot right now.



I have had this candle for a while now and I but didn't want to burn it because it smells so good unlit. I got it as a gift with purchase buying a Kenzo fragrance and the candle is the same scent as the Kenzo Amor fragrance.
I decided it was time to burn it and I wish I had from the start, it smells so much better burning and it gives my room that warm cosy feeling I love.

These are only a few of my favourites Im sure there will be loads more as winter continues.
Do you have any winter warmer favourites?

Until next time xx

ASOS WINTER WISHLIST


  1. Native Rose Kimono Coatigan in Brushed KnitI've been seeing loads of longline cardigans lately and I'm absolutely loving them, this kimono one caught my eye because of the print it looks so casually cute and you can wear it with anything from a crop top and high waisted jeans to leggings and a tee. priced at £72 its a little steep but its one of those items i'd live in over the winter period.



2. Vero Moda Mesh Insert Hem Dress Work requires I wear all black all the time and for ages I've been looking for a black midi body-con dress with long sleeves, but up to now I haven't found the appropriate one. So this Vero Moda dress will have to do until I find exactly what i'm looking for. Its not quite midi but what made me want it was the mesh inserts it just made it look less basic. This dress is £35 which I think is a pretty good investment for a LBD (Little black dress).
       

3. ASOS Debutant Full Midi Dress  Another LBD, my theory is you can never have enough black dresses in your wardrobe. This one is a Midi skater style dress, which I Love it's tight and fitted in the top but looser at the waist and is a classic item that can be worn to a last minute event that you haven't planned, this dress will make it look like you've made more effort than you actually have which is always a good thing. This dress is £42 and well worth every penny.


4. ASOS Coat with Waterfall Front in Brushed Wool Recently, I've seen a lot of coats in this style but up to now i've not seen one in this colour. They have a camel coloured one at Zara and a Black one in the same style in Bershka, but the grey is amazing. As much as I'm a fan of the camel colour this season I feel grey is more me and it will go with absolutely everything I own and it's a must have this winter.


5. Grafea Hari Backpack in Black I am a fan of backpacks, especially leather ones which this one is, i feel like you can never go wrong with a good backpack and it'll literally go with everything from casual to smart. This one is £180 which is a little on the pricy side for an ASOS product but baring in mind that it is a genuine leather item it will only get better with age.


6. Dr Martens Kensington Flora Burgundy Chelsea Boots I love chelsea boots, but when you get the cheaper ones the heels always wear out and and you have to get them reheeled and that ends up costing you so much money so why not get a paid or Dr Martens chelsea boots the soles literally last forever. I've got a pair of classic Dr Martens and I'm sure I've had them for over 3 years and they look like they haven't touched a pavement their the best boots ever so i NEED these chelsea boots just for that reason.

 

7. ASOS Longline Cardigan with Mohair Last but certainly not least, I couldn't end the wishlist with out throwing in a camel coloured long line cardigan, i'd literally wear it as pictured with some jeans and converses and it will keep me warm on these extremely cold days were having. 

I could literally go on and on, ASOS is one of those sites that have me hooked they have everything in one place. What are you liking from the list?

Until next time xx
