Mallzee

Recently my life has gotten so hectic and I feel like I'm always on the go. So it's not often that I get a chance to go shopping. Even when I do it's always rushed due to having a very impatient 3 year old. Online shopping has been a real life savoir for the past couple of months. 

My iphone is full of app's that makes shopping even more easier for me. I love apps that offer me different brands as it saves me a lot of time. I can make most of my purchases on one app rather than having to browse through a few and make couple of purchases ( save quite a lot on delivery charges too) 

I was getting a bit bored of browsing the same old apps every day/week because not many reliable apps give you the option to shop for many brands in one place. When I heard Mallzee has launched their new app I was very excited. I have always been a fan of Mallzee. 


My favorite part about Mallzee is that your spoilt for choice. Its not everyday you come across a app that allows you to browse through over 200 fashionable retailers on the high street. When they come in the likes of Mango, French connection, Forever 21 and Miss Selfridge I was hooked on the app in the first 5 minutes and I have not looked back.

 Mallzee is like your own personal shopper. When you first register and log in the app takes you through some questions about your fashion preferences and likes, then Mallzee will cater to your needs. I save so much time because of this feature as I only go through brands and the sort of fashion I like. (If I do change my mind about my likes and preferences there is always that option to change)

Here comes the best bit. You can create your OWN VIRTUAL WARDROBE!!! Need I say more??? 

I can't tell you enough how much I love this app. I have told you my reasons for loving this app, so don't just take my word for it! Download the app and have a look.



Go here to download the latest app and Don't forget to like them on facebook, twitter and google+  

Do you love this app as much as I do?? What other app's do you use to make shopping easier?? Your comments are most wellcome.

Phase Eight Blogger Competition – Style a Winter Coat

Styling is one of my favorite things about fashion. So when I heard about the new Phase Eight blogger competition to style a winter coat whats there not to like?? I also took part in their summer challenge here. 





I picked this Agnes Aztec Coat. I have been trying to break away from the typical winter color palette and go for brighter colors but I couldn't resist this coat. Why?? you ask me?? The first obvious reason have to be the fact that its covered two trends in one - Aztec and Monochrome. Second reason is the high collar, you can get away by not wearing a scarf. I know winter is all about layering but how much layers can a body take?? I try to dress as light as possible because there's nothing more exhausting that carrying around a weight of an elephant during winter. Dressing light does not mean you freeze your bottom off, because if you look at little detailing like this you can loose layers as well as keep warm.

This Coat is a loose fit which means you can opt for a belt if you want to create a shape. I like coats that give this option because I don't always want to fiddle around with a belt but some times I like to smarten things up a bit. This coat is great because I can save money by only investing in one coat but style it different for different occasions.

I can see my self wear this coat with almost everything but I would definitely prefer wearing this casual, where the coat is the statement piece.




This Autumn/Winter I'm a massive burgundy Fan. I know its been around for awhile but I have never embraced the color until now. By teaming the coat with these burgundy Amina jeggins, it will help break away from black and white that is dominating this outfit. In fact the contrasting colors will actually help the print and the monochrome pop out even more.




With tops I buy for winter I'm not so picky because it's all about keeping warm, So I go for basic sweaters, BUT colors and prints are really important because that is the best way to keep an outfit interesting on a daily basis when the weather depresses you!! This fluffy, slouchy Masidyn Metallic jumper is a favorite. The metallic gold and black yarn this jumper is made of gives this basic sweater a luxurious feel and a look.  

I stress so much about comfortable footwear in winter because I believe most of the foot problems that we get are due to squeezing your feet in to  small boots/shoes. I used to think spending less money and having as many boots as my shoe rack was the way to go. But now I would rather spend more and have a comfortable pair of boots that will last me through out winter. 

with this look I will definitely keep my foot wear simple, so I ll go for a basic black pair of ankle boots. These boots are perfect because their leather and have a chunky wooden block mid heel, great for everyday wear.



  I have kept accessorizing to the minimum because with a statement coat like this you don't necessarily need much.

I hope you like this post and if you are interested in taking part please feel free to do so here. Closing date is on the 21st October 2013!!
