Ark Online

Friends! I have found us the new online shopping destination which will surpass all your expectations my dears. In a panic to find a dress which had sold out of my size on good old ASOS, I Googled the brand, Motel and found some sites.

Navy Skull Lace Dress
Motel from ARK
Was: £59.99
Now: £30

 Ark Online stood out to me because it had a UK address and a banner showing the variety of brands they sell. With all the discounts flashing on my laptop screen, I thought it was all too good to be true, they had the dress in my size with an extra 50% off! YES! In a haste I was all too eager to place an order, but I took the time to read some reviews and customer feedback-which I advise you all to do when shopping online. The reviews were all good, with most customers receiving a lot of help when something went wrong. I was set to receive my delivery from them 4 days later, but a whole week after this date I still hadn't received my much sought after dress :( They have a tracking number which you can put into Royal Mail so I used this service and was literally baffled due to it being 3am and reading that the order had apparently been delivered to my address days ago???? ROYAL MAIL SAY WHA?!  

I called the customer helpline yesterday morning and let a lovely customer services assistant named Iona know about my predicament and she helped me so much. She took down my name and order number and within a few hours I received an email and text informing me that my dress would be sent out again and I would receive it the next day as part of their next day delivery service, she even refunded me the delivery charge from my original order! Now, I work as a sales advisor, so I know exactly how it feels when something that isn't your fault goes absolutely wrong and she handled it with ease and expertise. I STRONGLY recommend this site to ER'BODY! Tell yo mama, and yo sistah, and even ya daddy because this site has something for everyone, and seriously if something does go wrong, you're in very safe hands. So as you can imagine I was very excited to get home from work and try on my new dress, but unfortunately my mother and brother aren't as efficient as Ark Online and didn't answer the FRICKEN door! So they gave it to my lovely neighbours. If all this isn't enough to persuade you to try 'em out then how about these perky perks...

-20% off Jackets & Coats 

-Womens Sale from £5!

-Next Day Delivery on all orders over £40 (In time for Christmas!!)

A/W Essentials

Hello Comrades!
My apologies for not writing sooner, I've been quite busy at work and ashamed to say I haven't really taken advantage of London like I said I would. I, however, have taken it upon myself to live vicariously through the cast of Made In Chelsea. (it really isn't that posh you know, I did a journalism course there and if they let me in... well) While they play recklessly in the Royal Borough, handbags in the arm crease, heels so high-sorry Jessie they're still having a wicked time- I lay sloth-style in my bed equipped with an electric heater and 4od on my Smart TV-sounds cosy I know, I know. Anyhow, that along with the cold has inspired me in the fashion sense and my style has once again transitioned...operation Chelsea Girl is now underway...

Asos Textured Block Coat
Was £90
Now £67.50

And here to support the cause...ASOS is having a SALE! YES! 30% off Big Chill Winter Essentials and this my dears is most definitely essential! I need a coat like this in my life, it's androgynous, chic and most of all WARM! (at least it looks like it is) I cant stand a coat that ruins an outfit, this coat can literally go over all the knits and jumpers I strongly advise you to be wearing this winter without making you look like you've overeaten due to the cold; the colours are dark and would contrast well with some softer palettes and the leather bits add that badboy edge we're all looking for, the cold makes us vulnerable but we can brave it like the Russians and look great doing it! I'm loving the deep pockets as I myself am a pocket hoarder I'm forever filling them up with receipts, tickets and sweet wrappers-I'm not gonna lie. And last but not least, the obvious USP the price chop, bargain!

Zara Leather Riding Boot
Was £119
Now Still fucking £119

Moving on to these beauties...Zara have a hold of my heart with these babies. These boots were not just made for walking no! These Riding Boots encrypted with classic gold details and buckles were made to run the world, riding buses, trains and horses alike to explore the universe... too far? Okay well, you don't understand just how long I've peened for a pair of AFFORDABLE riding boots that won't make me look like an absolute joke. 100% cow leather and 100% MINE when payday arrives. Now Zara aren't really in aid of supporting the cause and do not currently have a sale-unless they kept it completely quiet and I have no clue about, so these boots are still a little pricey...

Inspired by MiC's very own style God Proudlock, these cool dangly above the knuckle rings resemble his dainty little cross earring that he undoubtedly cannot part with, unless he's modelling other style pieces on his style blog. I think this will be a cute little accent piece to the A/W collection with some pale coloured nails to finish off the look. Awww 

Regal Rose Above Knuckle Rings
