Blogs Of A Shopaholic

MONTH THREE DONE ✓ ✓ ✓ March has been a good month! The sun has been shining and I have refrained from making any purchases!  If you read my last post "Finding My Style - A New Series" you will know that I made a few purchases in February.  I will link that post here for you if you haven't read it and also my last monthly update (February) here .   I'm not sure how I've managed to stay away from temptation as I have been to the high street with my mum for birthday presents for family members and I've also been to the brand new Primark in Bluewater but managed to come away empty-handed which I'm over the moon about.  To be honest I didn't really like the Primark as it was so big and I'm not sure about you, but I really don't like shops if they are just too big! They scare me... I have no idea why!  I also feel I need to point out that my mum hasn't bought me anything either! If my best friend is reading this, that is specific...

Hey everyone, welcome to the second part of my "Finding My Style" series.  In my last post I spoke about how I had been "curating my closet" since January.  I will link that post here if you haven't read it but basically, in January I bought the Curated Closet Workbook by Anushka Rees and have been slowly working my way through it. I'm not quite sure what I expected from it when I started but I've been happy with the results so far and it's also thrown up a few surprises for me too.  I go into much deeper depth in my last post so head over and take a read as today I'm just talking about one particular item of clothing that has found it's way into my weekly wear list and it's really taken me by surprise.  I'm talking about the humble jogging bottom! Call them what you want - joggers, jogging bottoms, trackie bottoms, loungers...my experience with this particular clothing item has always been as oversized as possible (mens sec...

Hey everyone, today I just wanted to explain a little about the Curating My Closet project I've been doing since around January time. This happened to coincide with my "no-buy 2019" which probably wasn't the best timing (as you will read later), but following the Closet plan would involve making some purchases here and there.  I have bought a few things (I will link my last month's post here ) but I will talk in more detail about those items a bit later on.  I am also going to be doing a little series of blogs (hence the title of this post) just documenting things I have found out along the way in terms of "my style" and things that have surprised me a little. Loads of people have asked me on my Instagram what the "Curated Closet Workbook" is.  It's a book I bought on Amazon in January for £11.99 (linked here ) and it follows on from the first book "The Curated Closet" by Anushka Rees.  The workbook is exactly what it say...
