The £100 ASOS Challenge

10 July 2012

The £100 ASOS Challenge

ASOS Top with Sweetheart Peplum, £22 (HERE)

TFNC Sequin Leggings, £39 (HERE)

ASOS Shine Patent Pointed Court Shoe, £13 (HERE)

ASOS Panelled Chain Bag, £16 (HERE)

ASOS Shard Articulated Necklace, £10 (HERE)

Grand Total = £100

The lovelies Katie and Jenny from The Discount Coder Blog are giving away a £100 ASOS Voucher to the blogger who comes up with the best outfit for £100 or less from the ASOS website (no student discounts or ASOS Discount codes allowed). Head over to their website (here) for more details!

After seeing posts about this challenge everywhere I decided to have a go at it myself. ASOS is one of my favourite shops and I already have endless lists of things I want to buy there, so putting this together was easy-peasy, I just had to look at my ‘Save For Later’ section.

Now onto my actual choices, you may be thinking ‘boring‘, but I just love how classy this looks with a hint of sparkle here and there and a bit of silver jewellery to brighten the whole thing up. And hey, you can’t go wrong with black! :)

The peplum top couldn’t be more en vogue right now and it’s so flattering. I chose this particular top because I like the modest flare (not too wide) and the sweetheart neckline adds a little sexiness to the outfit. The sequin leggings are just to die for! They are my favourite piece of this outfit. I kept the bag and the shoes plain black and added the silver shard necklace to brighten up the top half. I can see myself going for a metallic silver smokey eye and pale lips with this outfit. Or even a winged eyeliner and red lips.

I’m so proud of myself for being bang on budget! I honestly did not plan this, it just so happened everything I wanted fell into place. Coincidence or fate? :)

What do you guys think of my little ensemble? Have you styled your outfit? Leave your links below so I can have a little nosey at yours!

Au revoir!

    It’s ok sweetie, it’s not a problem at all. I’m flattered that you took inspiration from me, but because you didn’t change much of my content it would have been nice to have some sort of acknowledgement or link back, otherwise your viewers will just think you wrote all that, which is not fair to them and not fair to me :)

    I don’t hate your blog or you, I just felt I had to let you know because other people may not be as forgiving :)

    Thank you for following and reading my blog. It means a lot!

    xx

Not the pregnancy announcement I had in mind, but… we’re expecting baby number 3! ❤️🙏🏻 I’m 11 weeks pregnant today and this is probably the most fitting photo to describe my first trimester so far: hyperemesis gravidarum.

I was going to wait until I was feeling better, until I had a bump to show, until I could put some makeup on… but who knows when that will be? I’ve lost over 15lbs, been admitted to hospital twice on IV fluids for dehydration, spent my birthday (and weeks on end!) in bed and have been put on so many meds I’ve lost count.

Today, as I was leaving the hospital on new meds and after a bag of fluids - feeling like a human being for the first time in over a month - I decided that writing this post, although cathartic for me, may be just what another HG sufferer needs to read to make them feel a little bit less alone.

This is not the beautiful “surprise” pregnancy announcement we’re used to seeing, but for the 1-3% of women who suffer with HG, it may be the only one you can manage.

So, this is where I’ve been hiding. Baby is doing well, mama not so well. But I’m hanging in there and taking one day at a time!

Baby is due September 2021! ❤️

Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited childre Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited children and a puppy, ready some snow fun today! Might as well make the most of it, because this is probably all we’re going to get. Oh I do love snow! 😍❄️
“Anxiety is also feeling like you have no contro “Anxiety is also feeling like you have no control over your life and there’s a knot if your stomach. You feel like your world is crashing down around you and you’re expected to sit there and act like you’re fine.”

Yesterday was a right old day - I wasn’t myself. I needed silence to reset... but didn’t get it. So I carried on not sounding like myself, being curt, snappy, sometimes a bit hurtful.

Do you know when you just can’t snap out of it? You take a deep breath and promise you will react differently to a stressful situation, but a minute later you catch yourself spilling over before you even realise the pan was boiling.

I took some time to reflect in the evening and exposed everything that was causing me frustration, stress, anxiety and worry.  Guess what the common denominator was?

A feeling of not being in control.

I’ve always needed some sort of order and control to feel like myself and right now we’re positivity not in control of anything really, are we?

I’m glad I can recognise the triggers for my anxiety and today I made sure I established some form of control first thing in the morning to give my day the best chance to be a good one.

So I cleaned the house, I made sure the puppy had plenty of naps, I scheduled 1-2-1 time with both kids and that made me feel so much better.

I know I only tackled the consequences, not the causes of my anxiety and my need to feel in control, but that was enough for me today.

There’s - always - more work to be done, but accepting the small wins is part of it.

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jeal I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jealous of this cosy situation! 😍 Oh Benji boy, you’re bringing us so much joy already! 🐶🤎
