My First Hush Order

I've had my eye on Hush's camo joggers for ages but they are so popular that they are always out of stock.  It may come as a surprise to you but I am a huge joggers/loungewear fan.  I love nothing more than coming home and putting a pair of comfy trews on.  Aside from that, I loved the prints as joggers aren't always the most flattering of bottoms so the camo kind of detracts from the style.

Camo Joggers £45

So when the email came through for their sale preview and the shorts version were in there - I actually jumped on it and didn't dither for once!  They came up true to size and are fairly generous.  The print is just as good in the flesh and they are super comfy (the print also means I can wear big pants and not worry about any VPL going on - shattering your illusions of me now aren't I!).

Camo Shorts £20

I love this look with those boots - I may try my Ash boots with them!

That is my large black Garfield cat in the background - that long black thing!

Sadly for you guys, I was not so quick to share them on here and they are now also out of stock - rubbish I know.  However their sale has just got even better and as the weather has taken a turn, I am contemplating some of their 'snuggly' jumpers!

Eyelash Jumper £55 down to £30

Short Cardi £120 down to £40

Camo Sloppy Joe £45 down to £15 (I'm so tempted)

They have some 100% silk tops in that are also reduced.

Classic Silk Shirt £140 down to £70 (3 different colours available)

Silk Tee £65 down to £40 (also in black for £50)

Happy shopping!  Oh and keep checking back for the joggers as they have come back in stock before, just not in my size!

The Out Of Season Buying Success

Last year when I was on a mission to 'organise' the way I shop, I started to update monthly on here a shopping list of what I 'needed' and what I had purchased just to help the habit.  I haven't been so great this year as I hold my hands up - my love of a bargain over rides what I need in that current minute.  I'm not sure I'm ever going to change, I know my style, I know what I like, it will get worn eventually......well that's the plan.  There is always a little room for error though.  Last September I blogged about these shorts from Zara.  I bought them for £9.99 in the sale, it was coming to the end of the Summer clothing season.  Everyone else was looking at coats and I went and bought shorts!  Needless to say, they didn't get worn much last year.  It's a risk to buy some items out of season yes, however these weren't.

A little over excited about my Zara purchases that day!  Post coming soon, promise! 

I took them on my recent holiday to Spain (I need that heat again) and they were so comfortable.  Perfect for travelling in a suitcase as they didn't crease, the spots hide any sticky finger prints from the girls and unlike all the denim shorts I kept on trying on around the time, they are the perfect length.  

A few things to remember;

• If you buy something out of season and tuck it away until it's wearable, leave the tags on.  That way if you change your mind when you dig it out, it can be sold on as new.
• Try to stick to classics when buying, especially if this is a new way of buying for you.  Avoid current on trend pieces - there's no guarantee they will be OK to wear next season!
