Sales, Hauls & Back In Stock

The ASOS sale started today, with up to 50% off! I've had a quick look and there's some decent stuff to be found. Last week, I had a discount code that was burning a hole in my pocket and seeing as I'd been stalking the 'wiggle dresses' several times a day for months, I decided to order the two that were left in my size.
I already own the black floral and blue spot above (that aren't available now) and I absolutely adore them, so it seemed a no-brainer to order some alternatives. I was hoping this one would be great for summer as the fabric is different to the others. Sadly when they arrived, they were much, much smaller than the two I own. The wallpaper border print one was the bigger of the two, but I couldn't get it on with the zip closed and couldn't close the zip when I tried it on, with it open. My original two if anything are generous, so I was very disappointed. The summer floral one felt absolutely tiny, the whole of my back was exposed, the zip wasn't anywhere near to closing. I quickly measured them against my others and right enough when lying flat (so the measurement is double this really), there was at least 3 inches less at the waist and around 4" at the bust. No wonder I was having trouble, how the hell were my boobs supposed to fit in a dress 8" smaller? Anyway they're going back and I hope someone else finds them a better fit because they truly are beautiful dresses.
So yesterday as a Premier customer, I received a 30% off code for a wee pre-sale shopping spree! I've been desperate for a discount then all of a sudden it's raining codes! I sent back the other couple of things I'd bought with the wiggle dresses, so I could re-order them with the bigger discount. This is what I've bought, arriving tomorrow. The Jeepers Creepers vintage cat eye glasses (so cute in person) and Love Moschino Charming bag (been lemming it for ages) that I'd mentioned in my other post. Along with some flower hair clips (here and here) and this cute fox t-shirt from the Curve range. I had loads of beauty items in my basket too (which had 20% off), but decided I couldn't quite stretch to purchasing them too. I tried to order items that I didn't think would go into the sale and I made the right decisions as none have.
Also, I noticed this week that my Cat Maxi Dress (£28) is back in stock in sizes 4-18. I know a lot of you missed out on this the first time around.
Plus my unicorn jumper from last year is now available in cream £35 if you fancy that.
While on the subject of unicorns, you'll maybe recall my sister got me a cake sprinkle shaker in the shape of a unicorn for my birthday? Well it's now available here at Topshop. Coincidentally, their sale also started (just last week), so is worth checking out.  Have you bought any sales goodies lately?

ASOS Sunglasses

You'll probably be aware I have a bit of a sunglasses obsession. One that has definitely grown over the last couple of years. I am sooo excited that we've had some sunshine recently so I've been able to wear my Prada 'Baroque Minima' and Irregular Choice 'Mischief' again! When I'm regularly checking the 'new in' at ASOS, I keep noticing more and more sunglasses that I'd like to add to my (already rather large) collection. It's getting quite ridiculous the number of lovely frames they have!  First up are these Round frame with pearl highbrow £18, ooooh I likey! They have an air of Chanel about them don't they?  They're very unusual and unlike anything I already own.
 Embellishment seems to be 'in' for sunglasses right now with these Tortoiseshell with flower embellishment £18, pretty but still practical I think.
 
These are a little more kitschy and really cute, Square frames with flower embellishment £18
If paler frames aren't your thing, they do a black pair with white flowers.  Black with flower embellishment £18
 
ASOS have tonnes of cat-eye frames (I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it), this Multi Cat Eye £10 are really fun.
 
They also come in Animal Cat Eye £10, which I really love.  
The Black Cat Eye £10, could almost be worth selling my Tom Ford 'Nikita' for, they look spookily similar!! 
I have to admit to not really seeing the point of 'flocked' shades (Irregular Choice have a version).  It's because I wear makeup and I think of the residue that ends up on my plastic sunnies and these Velvet Cat Eye £12 would be wrecked that way as they don't just wipe clean!  
If you fancy something a little more with your cat-eyes, how about some birds?  Flying Birds Cat Eye £20
The Premium Black Embellished Cat Eye £20, have just the right amount of added detail for me!
They also come in cream.  Premium Cream Embellished Cat Eye £20
You know I love pearls and there's a few options on ASOS with these Pearl Cat Eye £15...
Or if you're looking for more detail, the All Over Pearl Cat Eye £18
Jeepers Peepers also do a version, which look fabulous, Jeepers Peepers 'Isabella' Pearl £18. 
A more subtle version are the ASOS Studded Cat Eye £15.  
Still on cat-eyes and the Jeepers Peepers 'Leia' Cat Eye £16 are pretty darn cute!
River Island also do an oversized cat-eye which look pretty, River Island 'Claudia' Cat Eye £10.   
I used to always swear by massive sunglasses, the bigger the better and these Jeepers Peepers Vintage Smoked £18 are certainly huge.  I like the vintage feel and the leg positioned at the bottom of the frame.  
If I win the lottery or ever manage to save some money, I would buy the Miu Miu pink glitter frames.  These Pink Metal £12 have the same shape (but sadly no glitter for me), they also come in red £12.   
I think they look fantastic in Tortoiseshell Metal £12.   Remember last year, I posted all the 'wing' detail sunglasses similar to the Prada pairs?  Well there's these new Black wing detail £12 pair.  
Or you get them in Tort wing detail £12.   
I've fallen for these Wing detail £12 though.  I think they look fabulous.  
Heart shaped frames can be very kooky, but this pair are quite 'grown-up' I reckon.  Heart Shaped £12
I'd quite like these Metal Highbrow £12 as 'winter' sunglasses.   
I already own the Tortoiseshell Highbrow £12 and looove them.  
I think the Tort Ridge £12 though could be my newest obsession, they look fabulous and I'll definitely be getting these.  
I'm not sure how I feel about this pair.  Are they the right side of quirky? Square frame with round lens £15.   
The Premium Lizard £25 are definitely firmly in the quirky zone and remind me of the H&M/Anna Del Russo pair.  I think they look great on the model though.  
JP have clearly taken inspiration from Prada for this pair, Jeepers Peepers 'Lily' £16
While this pair are very similar to a Swarovski style, Jeepers Peepers 'Zaffran' £18.  
I'm not a round framed person usually as I don't want to to look like a member of The Beatles (!), but I love these Wildfox 'Bel Air' £162.   
All styles are available from ASOS and you can use the code VIPALERT for 25% off full price items until 24th Feb (valid on one order up to £500).  Anything take your fancy? I just need to work out which ones I'll buy as I didn't realise my wishlist had grown soooo long!
