Cats and sparkles

People have different coping mechanisms for when they are going through difficulties. When I need something to make me feel better I like to shop.  Shoes might not be able to solve your problems but they are good for your soul. Especially when they are pink, sparkly and 50% off!

Bowie and gingham

Who says a sporty t-shirt is just suitable for exercise? Mix it up with a pretty skirt and a pair of girly shoes and you have yourself an outfit for any casual occasion!

Pom poms and checkered

On the cloudy days that life brings upon us, colour is a good companion to get us through the dark moments. Don't be afraid to be bold and combine bright colours. Life is too short to not take risks, especially when it comes to your outfits where no real harm can be done!

• Ancient greek inspired sandals with pom poms: PRIMARK
• Coral handbag: NINE WEST

Black, white and the choker

The black and white combo is a classy and classic look. In order to give it a boost and make it pop, use a colouful handbag and a bold shade of lipstick and voilà!! Throwing in a subtle yet interesting necklace is optional but highly recommended!

Mod and print

I paid an impromptu visit to Zara last week and while going through the racks and tables of pieces that are still on sale, I found the only pair in my size. I really love their mod girl vibe so I decided to give them a new home. I really should stop buying shoes because I can barely fit them in my closet anymore but it is so hard to resist especially when I find something I like on offer! 

• Kaftan print dress: NOOBASS
• White slingback shoes/light blue shopper bag: ZARA
• Silver charm bracelet: PANDORA
• Light blue sunglasses: MINKPINK

Fringe and crossover

Sales are a perfect excuse to go shopping. Of course sometimes you can get carried away and buy things that you don't necessarily love and you won't really wear just because they are very cheap so beware! Try to buy pieces that are really worth the space in your closet and try looking for the things you really wanted all season but you couldn't afford or you really didn't think they were worth paying the original prices. I found this kimono on my summer sales hunt in H&M and I thought it would be a great addition to my kimono collection, especially since it was 75% off!

• White tank top/blue skinny jeans/grey kimono with fringes: H&M
• Gold crossover sandals: PRIMARK
• Large pink quilted bag: DKNY
• Gold cat face ring: ASOS CURVE
