TFT #14

Welcome to a brand new Thursday which means a fabulous, brand new edition of TFT! Check out what I've found this week...



Accessorize Mosaic Tile Bangle - £8


Although I'm not a massive fan of the new world prints/tribal redux trends, I can admit that some of the colours around for the coming summer are luscious! Imagine armfuls of colourful bangles like these...

TFT #13

I hope you're having a great week so far! Here's my newest find for Thursday Fashion Therapy.



GirlProps Lolita Heart Shaped Glasses - $9.99 [approx £6.50]


With the warmer weather and sunshine soon to be on their way, why not celebrate with a brand-new, fabulous pair of sunglasses? I'm a huge fan of gorgeous glasses myself and hearts are my favourite.

TFT #12!

Butterfly Plastic Bangle - £4.99


Mix up your summer accessories with a super-pretty butterfly bangle from Urban Outfitters - pile your arms high with different colours, textures and prints of fabulous wrist candy. Plus this beauty's on sale right down to a generous £4.99..not bad!

TFT #11!

Welcome to the 11th edition of the wonderful TFT, bringing pieces of fashion love and joy to your computer screens, each featured piece costing under a mere £10.




Topshop Large Heart Opaque Tights - £10


Hearts, hearts and more hearts! I'm seeing gorgeous hearts everywhere lately, from shorts to jewelry to shoes and I'll never be able to have enough. Show your adoration for the majestic heart by adorning your lovely legs with them. Patterned tights and heart shapes are two of the best current trends, so update a basic look with some lusciously lovely tights.

TFT #10

Etsy Heart Fingerless Gloves [Pattern] - $4, approx £2.50


Why not make the most of the cold days and nights inside and craft yourself some gorgeously cosy fingerless gloves? No-one can have enough of them, in my opinion - they keep your hands fabulously cosy whilst being able to write/pick things up/glue photographs (too much Photography work lately I think!). Clothes and accessories you make yourself make them 10x more fun to wear, so make yourself something beautiful to keep warm!

TFT #9

Topshop Knot Stitch Palmwarmers - £8


I want some of these for Christmas! They look wonderfully warm - these days I'm always shivering in the icy winter winds with nasty dry skin and cracked knuckles from the cold - not a good look for sure. These look perfect for keeping my poor hands warm! Plus the grey means they'll go with almost anything.

TFT #8

FredFlare Bookworm Bookmarks - $7 (~£4)


Everything at FredFlare.com makes me literally wow with excitement. If you are an avid reader like myself, you'll probably have half a dozen different bookmarks consisting of till receipts, paperclips, schoolwork, etc. These cute phrase bookmarks are wonderfully unique, stylish and modern as well as marking your page without causing any damage to your book or other miscellanous property you may happen to stash between the pages in frantic moments.

TFT #7

Crime Scene Scarf - £9.99



This edition probably would have been more appropriate for the week of Halloween in case anyone wished to dress up as a crime scene, though how awesome would it be to have one for everyday wear?

TFT #6

'I Love London' Tote Bag - £6


Lately has consisted of going to university open days, reading university websites and fine-tuning every tiny detail of my UCAS application. Although this seems highly irrelevant to this week's TFT pick, it's not - London is the city that my top three choices are situated in and very close to. London has been my favourite city ever since the first time I went there - it's like a fairytale you can visit on the train - so it's only appropriate that I spend the next few years of my life living there. Plus the smiley cloud and clock tower design is irresistable.

I'm definitely getting one of these wonderfully appropriate totes next time I'm at Lazy Oaf.

TFT #5!

Excuse the fact that this post is on Friday instead of a Thursday - my internet connection has been abysmal lately. Crossing my fingers and hope it works this time, as I found this beauty last night.



Accessorize Organza Vintage Pretty Flower Clip - £7


Lately Accessorize has been selling beautiful hairclips and fascinators - think diamantes, feathers, polkadots and divine shades of aqua and magenta..delightfully showgirlish!

This gorgeous, lifelike flower hair clip is perfect as a key piece with everyday wear - simply clip in for floral goodness which will brighten up a basic outfit. The flower does look unusually realistic, so beware of any demented bees it may attract.

Thursday Fashion Therapy #4!

Thursday has rolled around again, along with drama, crazy giggling and the anticipation of wonderful things to come! Think of all the great events coming up over the next couple of months: Christmas, holidays, wintery weather, parties..there's such an enormous selection of events to look forward to in the near future! Due to the aforementioned drama and stress over the last few days, TFT is more than necessary.


Dorothy Perkins Silver Textured Bangle Set - £10

Noisy jewelry has become something of a trademark of mine lately - I'm nearly always wearing my DP biker bangle set (sans one jewel) and my Urban Outfitters wings necklace. Being your own walking percussion is a fantastic way to put a smile on your face and accessorize an otherwise plain outfit. Why not check out all the amusing rhythms you can jingle along to? These are wonderfully shiny with a great mix of textures, so mix them up to create a different look with your accessories every day.

Thursday Fashion Therapy: Edition #3!

This week: the succulently sweet B Sugarlips Scrub!



B Sweet Lips Sugar Scrub - £4.40
B Mint Julips Sugar Scrub - £4.40
Also comes in bubblegum!



Lip scrub is undoubtedly one of those products you think you'll never need, but when you find yourself using it every other day it's difficult to remember how you ever lived without it. Being lucky enough to live near one of the delightfully glamourous and glittery B stores, I tend to wander in there when bored of the neighboring discount superstores and sniff/sample as many of the iridescent, colourful products as I possibly can. Although there's a time and a place for high-glitter creme eyeshadow and decadent shimmery body butter, their coveted lip scrub is my definite, must-have B essential.

The scrub is very easy and quick to use: simply massage a small amount onto clean lips before rinsing off with water, leaving formerly beat-up lips pillowy soft as well as a lingering chocolatey aftertaste (or minty if you're using the mint version!). If there's one coveted accessory this winter, especially after having your skin horribly ravaged by icy winds, it's gorgeous lips: get your own, all for a surprisingly minimal price. Try some for yourself!

Thursday Fashion Therapy Numero Deux!

Hello all you industrious, hard-working people! Midweek has just rolled around and today I spied this fabulous little number on the Urban Outfitters website. It's true that you rarely hear 'Urban Outfitters' and 'cheap' in the same sentence, but this lovely thing is worth some appreciation, don't you agree?


Urban Outfitters Loop Print Applique Kisslock Purse - £9.99 [Reduced from £22.00]

A coin purse is a definite must-have in everyone's lives. Whether we need money for a Milky Way from the vending machine, a trip to the bathroom at the train station or simply issuing a small loan to a grovelling friend, fishing around in our pockets for spare change is hardly the elegant way to go about such matters, so why go on suffering without one of these beauties? I'm digging the white contrast applique against the delightfully retro floral background. Your hardest decision this week shall be: the pink or the blue?

Thursday Fashion Therapy: Your New Mid-Week Pick-Me-Up!

Face it: when the midweek mark rolls around we're already completely and utterly drained, ready for the mammoth lie-in of the week. But wait, there's still more work to get through - how on earth will we manage it?! Friday (as well as Thursday) for many people is a case of dragging themselves out of bed in a semi-conscious, disheveled state with nothing more lingering in the mind other than the weekend ahead. How on earth do we quell these mid-week blues? With a little self-indulgent retail therapy of course!

Personally I find that even the cheapest midweek purchase can cheer me up from any chaos or drama going on at school, as long as it's pretty and exciting as well as possibly being glittery, scented or fluffy. You don't need to rush out and blow your savings on an expensive designer coat or a cashmere jumper every time you feel stressed or down from work overload - anything cheap, lovely and appealing will suffice.

I wanted to make this a regular weekly addition to this blog; each week I post a new item either from a high street store or online costing £10 or less so you needn't feel guilty about treating yourself. This could be a brand new wardrobe addition, an exciting new accessory or an unusual cosmetic product - anything to entice the senses and make your midweek experience that much more enjoyable.

This week's dose of must-have fashion therapy:


Dorothy Perkins Grey Flower Print Cotton Scarf - £10

Scarves are the ultimate accessory for adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to even the simplest of outfits. Though summer seems disappearing away with florals, show your passion for a classic print with this beautiful cream and brown floral print scarf by Dorothy Perkins. Wear with gorgeously girly yet plain dresses in neutral tones, as well as a cardigan and your favourite boots. No one ever said floral prints had to disappear with the real flowers, so why should they?
