Lucy Lockets fashion haul!

Last Saturday I went to Kells, County Meath, to do some shopping. As always, as soon as I saw the Lucy Locket's shop window, I needed to go in and have a look!

I have always found Lucy Locket's to be affordable and very up to date with the latest fashion trends. It is one of those shops that will cater for whatever look you are putting together. Stocking great key pieces like embellished clutch bags, brooches, jewellery and then a whole range of fashionable clothing.

As I am on a strict pre Christmas budget, I thought that I might just be browsing, but to my delight there was an awesome sale rail in store.

Now that I had my eyes on this magnificent rail of 2 for €10 bargains, I couldn't be stopped. What I was looking for were items that I could dress up or dress down, suitable for family dinners or Christmas parties and nights out. I managed to find three items for myself and one item as a gift.

Floral Playsuit


This playsuit is fab for day and night, in the day time I would team this with opaque black tights and boots. I would probably wear a red or green vest underneath.

For a more glam night time look I would wear the playsuit without tights, add a waist cinching belt and a long chain, with chunky heels or shoe boots.

This gorgeous playsuit had been reduced from €37 down to only €5 (as part of the 2 for €10 deal). I cannot believe that this is the first playsuit I have owned, how have I survived without one?

Zig Zag top



This zig zag top is fab! Again, I think this is something that can easily go from day to night. For daytime wear I would put this top on with jeans and a cardigan.

For a night time look I would wear this top with a blazer or a leather jacket, and skinny jeans or leather look leggings.

I would add some jewellery, but something simple in design, maybe a long chain to go over it. This top was reduced from €25 I think down to €5 (again as part of the 2 for €10 deal).

Embroidered panel dress

 


This embroidered dress is a so sexy and very flattering. It features two detachable straps so instantly you have two looks for the price of one.

This dress was reduced from €39 down to €5 as part of the two for €10 deal. I would wear this dress with  a statement necklace, maybe like one from Shutterbug's range, as featured in my previous blog post.

This dress would look amazing with black stilettos and a cream or black clutch bag for the night out essentials. I will be writing a blog post about my favourite bags pretty soon so watch this space. This dress really reminds me of Nicole Sherzinger's style, so this is a celeb style steal!

Blue Shift Dress with Leather Look stripes

 
This dress is another piece that can take you from day to night. For a day look I would wear this dress with tights and black pumps and a long cardigan.
 
For a more glam night time look I would team this with a leather jacket and black stilettoes. As the neckline is high I wouldn't wear a necklace but instead I would wear a bracelet or a cuff.
 
This dress was reduced from €37 down to €5 in the two for €10 deal. You can view more of Lucy Locket's clothing, jewellery and accessories by visiting   :

Shutterbug Accessories

When I arrived at Smithfield Sunday Morning I couldn't believe my eyes, a queue out the door! People had been there since 9am, waiting in line to get a ticket for admission to the Vintage Kilo Sale.

I took my place in line around 11am or so and the sale opened at 12. This was the mother of all sales, with rails of vintage clothing as far as the eye could see in every direction. The area of the sale I first came across was the Shutterbug vintage pop up store.

Ladies if you are looking for eye catching vintage accessories for the coming party season, or a toasty faux fur stole, then you NEED to check out Shutterbug. Their costume jewellery is a guaranteed show stopper for your New Years Eve or Christmas parties!


The vintage look accessories started at €19.99 which is great value for that really expensive look. Teamed with a long dress and faux fur stole, any ensemble would ooze sophistication and glamour.

Shutterbug also have an amazing rang of vintage look hats that are great for any season. You can check out the Shutterbug shop in Kilkenny and keep an eye out for the next Kilo Sale by visiting their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/shutterbugshop


 
If you are a bit of a magpie like myself and looking for some very bling bling jewellery, there were also some heavier silver and diamante necklaces and collars on sale from the Folkster store. If  I were to wear one of the pieces below I would team it with something simple, a dress with no embellishment, and toned down makeup, no other accessories required, only a smile.
 
 You can check out the gorgeous Xevana necklace at:

Finally if you are on the hunt for Christmas presents for your sister, mother, and friends, you should take a look at the earrings at Shutterbug. There is a huge variety of colours, styles and shapes and sizes so you can find something for everyone. Here are a few I cast my eyes on last Sunday.


As usual when I go shopping I came across so many things I didn't even know I needed! Happy shopping!
