Bargains In Unexpected Places...£1 Earrings

I was so excited by my purchases today that I had to come home and post straight away! But first I must make a confession to you...I am a earring-a-holic! I am totally obsessed with earrings, the stranger looking the better. I have no idea how many I have but since I have been wearing earrings since I was 2 months old (I am now 22!) I think I have accrued quite an extensive collection.

Recently, however, I have been trying to stop buying more as I barely have time to wear the ones I have, let alone any new additions. But I just couldn't resist today when my boyfriend and I went into Burton on a belt hunt and stumbled across their accessories/jewellery section. Now first of all, call me ignorant, but I was completely unaware that they sell sets of earrings for guys! They are pretty much identical to the ones they sell for ladies and ironically the designs are quite similar too. What really got me however, was just how cheap they had gone down too - the original prices were £6 but they had been discounted to £1!

Obviously I got them (or really I got my boyfriend to get them for me lol) and even picked up a £1 ring at the same time! RESULT!!!! The moral of the story is truly that bargains really are found in the most unexpected places, especially when you are not looking for them. Check out my purchases below...

These are perfect for top holes
(I have 2.) 

       

          Not exactly the most 

          masculine ring ever right?

Love these quirky kinds
 of earrings

Have you got any stories of unexpected places you have found bargains? Let me know!!!

Rainy Day Retail Therapy - ASOS Sale

As predicted, today was another dismally grey affair in London town. This prompted some serious retail therapy (or browsing as it subsequently turned out) of which I am going to share with you...

I'm pretty sure that the ASOS sale has probably been on for a while but although it initially escaped my attention this was corrected when I came across how many goodies were available, not to mention the added bonus of an extra 10% off with the code MEGA10! Below are just a few items that caught my eye, all of which are under a tenner ;-). Happy shopping!!!

Top - £7.00
Bottoms - £4.50

This unusual bikini caught my eye both because of the print and its style. I slightly cheated here because all together it actually comes to £11.50 but as separates they are both under a tenner! They are loads of bikinis on offer at the moment so its a good time to stock up!

Leggings - £9.00

Animal print is still in at the mo and how better to channel your inner beast than with these leopard print leggings...?

Shirt - £9.00

This basic River Island shirt can be worn in so many ways. Plus it's available in both black and white! See Grazia's 5 Ways to Update a Classic White Shirt if you stuck for ideas on how to wear....

Earrings - £3.50

Another River Island goody! Crosses are everywhere right now and this set of three earrings keeps the look simple.

Belt - £4.50

I am totally obsessed with random animal clothes and accessories at the moment and thought this belt was adorable and at £4.50 who can resist??

There are sooooo many more goodies available so take a look!
