Boohoo clothing haul - @Iamkatedillon93

Its the best time of year! Christmas :)


Im obsessed with Christmas.. the food... the smells.. the clothing..

So recently i've done a bit of shopping to keep myself nice and warm this winter.
I placed an order on Boohoo.Com and i could not have been happier! I planned on getting one or two pieces i ended up with a few more!

The HUGE package
I was so impressed by the value and the quality of the clothing, Sometimes i hate online shopping as it is very hard to tell sizing, length, shape etc! Boohoo has a great catwalk show and it shows all the pieces on real life models!


















Two quirky items i got from Boohoo are these mustache design tank tops.
The first is grey and has a large mustache saying oui! Its got drop arm holes and its really quite cute! Was only €12!!
This would be gorgeous paired with anything, i can not wait to wear this paired with wine leggings and a cute blazer!

Click to buy here :)





The next is another mustache tank. This ones much longer and has hundreds of I love mustache badges. It was on sale for €8 and seeming its Movember i taught why not!! The back is an almost sheer fabric, layered correctly this could work for all seasons! I love love love this!

Click to buy here :)





I am obsessed with blazers. Anyone who knows me knows that so i got this dogtooth black and white blazer from Boohoo. I think it has a vintage style and will be great dressed up or down. It was only €22 and i love it. I was blown away with the quality of this, i was expecting a thin knit blazer but this blazer has an almost tweed like feel. The design is gorgeous and the shape would flatter any figure! This is my favorite piece i have ever bought from Boohoo! And of coarse i bought the oui top underneath cause of the picture  ;)

Click to buy blazer here!




The next is a cute black jumper from Boohoo with a gorgeous white lace detailing. It was only €22. I think this would be perfect with leggings are jeans and great for layering this Christmas :) On the website this looks like a heavy knit jumper in my opinion. But its actually very thin, it'd be great to layer with hats, gloves and scarves and the heart detail is to die for! One problem with this, its hand wash only, but soooo worth it!

It comes in tons of colours and i will be buying all of them!

Click to buy here :)



Another piece from Boohoo is a cream wide knit jumper with a love heart detailing in the same colour. Its 3/4 length sleeve is very flattering and super cute! This is actually very short in person and hits just above the waist, the heart detail is gorgeous and didn't quite pick up on camera. Sadly they only have it left in black but for 15 euro its a total bargain!

Buy here!



My next thin to buy! I am so angry i didn't wait one more day and i could have bought this gorgeous jumper! It came out the day after i had placed my order! Of coarse its the same pattern as the tank top but hey, a girl can't have too many mustache things! I love this and will be buying it asap! 




Here's a voucher to enter at the check out for 10% off everything! Oh did i mention free postage to Ireland? ;)




I had a small problem with the Alex heart jumper as it was pulling at the neck line. I tweeted boohoo and straight away customer care got in touch! Overall i genuinely love this website, i think it has grown so well and the staff are obviously very caring towards their customers!

Their returns policy is free and fast! I can not fault them!!!

Why not try it out for Christmas?
Happy shopping days!

Shoe-aholic Heaven!!



Shoes shoes shoes shoes heaven!
I've been shoe shopping! I have to admit like every other girl, they have to be one of the most love things in the world!
No matter if you get bigger or smaller, your shoe size will always stay the same! Thank god! They are the only thing that don’t make you feel guilty for eating chocolate!
So here are some of my recent finds! J
Firstly I found these in Korgys shops in Dublin. But looking on the website, is great too, they have free shipping and also a great returns policy scheme. So if the shoe doesn't fit. Cinderella can still swap them to make them fit!
First are a raspberry pair of patent pointed toed shoes from Korgys and they are €44.99 such a great price for a great quality pair of shoes. I picked these cause I love the colour of them so much!
Staying with summer colours I picked these Coral Suedette cut-out wedge sandals. These are the comfiest shoes ever! I have them in black and I can last all night in them! Cut out is so popular this season that you can keep with this style on your feet. The wedge is about 6 inches high but with the large platform they are very forgiving on feet.  These are €39.99 a very good price for summer i think and with the suedette cover they last forever! 
These come in lots of different colours! Black, Coral, yellow, green, beige lots of summer colours perfect to get those legs out!
I have to admit these boots are not my favorite boots I've ever seen. I dont think ill be running out to buy them any time soon but they might suit some peoples taste! They are black corset style boots again from Korgys and are now €40 they were €69.99!! Thats a huge saving! These are more of a winter style boot but would be perfect to buy now to save you extra money when it comes back to autumn time! :)
These beige cross over strap wedges are the MOST comfiest wedges i have ever worn. I have had mine in black for over a year and a half and i wear them out anytime i go out and they are perfect. They match everything and they are literally weightless and do not rub or irritate the skin. These are again €39.99 and with free shipping its a bargain!!! They also come in so many colours. Korgys is really a good option to buy shoes online. They go on normal size shoes. None of this small or large fitting style shoe. 
This next pair may look the exact same but they are actually slightly differnt. These are in bright yellow and have the same sole as all the Korgys shoes. The wedge is cork and is so light and bouncy they are so easy to walk in. There is no falling over or in these! Instead of being cross over they have more cut outs on them. 
This last pair is from Korgys.ie aswell and they are €39.99 aswell. They are suede ankle wedge boots. I definitely think i will be buying these. They have a really secure ankle strap and a beautiful open toe hole and a  very attractive criss cross strap. They have got to be some of my favorite wedges. Who said wedges are only for the beach? :P
The next few pairs of shoes are from Asos.Com and again they have free postage so buying from them is simple. I have bought many things of Asos and the size is generally true to size.
The first pair is a flat pair of gladiator style sandles. Perfect for summer sunshine!! As the website says they are "exciting and diverse, the ASOS Collection makes and breaks the fashion rules". They have a very pretty leather upper and a secure and strudy base. 
This next pair is also from Asos.com and is only €13.58 which i personally think is a bargain. They are simple and versatile. They would go with any outfit. Often pennys/primark sells cheaper copies of these but seeming they are plastic they can rub and irritate toes. This pair has a leather look alike effect and is well worth the price. 
I am in love with this next pair of shoes!!! I want these, i just wish i could afford them!! They are only €65.15 i guess if you say it fast they sound better? no? Well there is free shipping that's a plus?
They are black and white and really really catch the eye. I genuinely think i am in love :( 
With the high ankle strap they are sure to stay on and also provide a more comfy fit. The wedge is not too high and would go with any summer dress! A chance to good to miss :) 
Nearly finished, and the rest of these are from BooHoo.Com. If you read my blog you know i am OBSESSED  with Boohoo. The only thing i don't like is the €5 shipping cost. But hey, there stuff is still a bargain even with that price! :) 
This next pair are tuirquise and are from BooHoo. They are €40 and are the "ariella" style heel. This colour is beautiful and the beige soul is very pleasing to the eye!
The next pair are again from BooHoo.Com and is The "isra" style shoe and they are coral wedge boots! These are gorgeous. The heel is quite large but with the platform they would be super easy to walk in. They have no straps so these boots are glued to your feet all night long or day :P No matter where you wear these you are bound to stand out! :)
A very Lady-Gaga inspired pair of shoes now. These are the "Olivia" pink leather boots. They are a copy of the famous black boots often worn by Lady Gaga. These are a more wearable version. I personally would never buy these but these would wow any outfit! They are only €45 and i imagine they would be extremely comfotable because they are laced boots. 
Here's a more out there version of these boots really not for the "casual or laid back dresser". These are bold and in your face!  They are the Brooklyn American Flag Extreme Platform Shoe Boot and are only €40. Great value for what they are!!
These would be perfect for a Halloween or fancy dress outfit but not advised for your regular night out or walk down the town as the heel is super super high!
I am also seriously interested in buying these shoes too! But you could easily transform a pair of old heels into this design with some cheap studs. These are the "maya" style from BooHoo and are very trendy at the moment. The heel isn't too high and they are pure black. These would give a nice edge to any outfit and are also €45. They come in many sizes!
These next boots are only €20 and only have size 3 left! So any one who is a size 3 would be crazy to miss this opportunity! They are gorgeous leather look alike boots in brown and i am so jealous they don't have any other sizes. :( 
They are the "Shanice Fringed Antique distressed Leather Look Worker Boot" a bargain for €20! They have a very cute fringe detail on the toe of the boots and a chocolate coloured leather outting!
This last pair again is only in size 3 but they are only €15!!! That is so cheap it is unbelievable! :) You can get them on BooHoo.Com and they are black and leather style boots. "Clemmie Grey Zip Side Distressed lace up Worker Boots". These are a great cheaper version of the combat boots that were extremely trendy last year. These are perfect for any pair of jeans or cute dress to add a more combat side. 
Happy Shopping!

A new purchase! :)


Yankee Candles, you may think there only for girls but now they have an even larger range suitable for both men and females!

So I went shopping and got pulled into the Yankee Shop, for those who don’t know who Yankee Candles are, they are the best candles out there. They smell delicious! There scents are beautiful, tasty and so realistic!

For the price they are great value! A large Yankee Candle will cost you from €22, a medium from €15 and a small from €8 depending where you buy them!

The large will burn for over 110-150 hours J that’s nearly 6 days!!

I bought a large Yankee Candle in the scent Christmas Cookie for €11 on sale!

As well as a large Mange Peach Salsa Candle for €22, this may sound a lot for a candle but its well worth the price! J




Mango Peach salsa is my favourite Yankee scent. It smells like mangos, peach and even pineapples all together. The fruity smell spreads around the room from the second you light it!

I love so many other scents from Yankee, soft blanket! A clean fresh scent that smells just like your fresh washing!

Christmas cookie! A limited edition every December that’s always on sale for €11 after Christmas! It smells like vanilla, sugar and freshly baked cookies!


Vanilla cupcake is also very like Christmas cookie only it smells like freshly cooked cupcakes and vanilla frosting! This candle smells so good you’d want to eat it!



Now they even have scents that men will love! A mid summers night dream may have an off putting name but believe me this scent is such a manly smell. It smells just like Hugo Boss aftershave! Such a gorgeous smell around the house!



They now even have air conditioners, hand wash, body wash, and even scented sticks!



Often if you keep your eyes peeled you can get them on BOGOF

It makes the value of the candles even cheaper!


With hundreds of candle scents to choose from there is one for every one!



Sadly though over the years I have bought some of their scents that I have really regretted. This is all a personal choice but I seriously hate the smell of cinnamon. Even thinking about it makes me sick! I hate it so much so I guess buying the scent Cinnamon Sticks in a Christmas gift set was a horrible idea.




Sadly another bad choice was Creamy Caramel from Yankee Candle. Some people love this scent. But I think it’s too rich, it smells like creamy caramel with a hint of fake tan. You know that morning after smell of sleeping in tan? Well this candle smells just like this! A mixture of digestive biscuits and creamy caramel sounds delicious but believe me its not! 

Over all I cant say anything else about how much I love these candles there addictive!
