Aw13 (miss selfridge)

With a new season and a host of new trends, weather turning miserable and a need for layers now is a great time to go shopping.
Especially for students who can't afford too many luxuries or even the price of turning up the thermostat now is the time for some great buys. 

Take this lovely sweater and great pu trim skirt - both Miss Selfridge.
Seperately these were £37 and £35 for the skirt. Together they came to just £17. 
Sale and bogof, WHAT!!! 
They have some great pieces, this seasons and an outfit for £17?! Don't mind of I do!! 

Seen any great bargains why not comment below and share the wonder.

Pure London - Wholesale Fashion Trade Show

So yesterday I visited PURE London a wholesale trade show, showcasing just about every supplier for your store. Where to start?
Well first I'd like to start with 'Why do the signs for Kensington Olympia just stop?' I was almost there when I took one wrong turn when the signs stopped 20 mins later I was back at shepards bush station -.-
Secondly it was massive. I mean MASSIVE. I wasn't sure where to start!


The size of this pink glamorous stall was a small retailer to give you perspective !!
With so many wholesalers (9 pages worth!) 
 all wanting to show you they're the best they gave out lots!! Being young and not pushy I barely got anything!! But all the same I was over laden with everything! No wonder at the end of the day it felt like my back and feet were broken. 




The amount of bags I was carrying!
All in all a VERY good day, very fun, now know who I want to stock! and spent the whole of this morning sat on the floor sorting every business card and leaflet!!
Just the free magazines!

After sorting through all my favourite wholesalers!

When pricing goes your way

Today we headed out to the shops at Romford in search of some new work trousers. So I didn't find any but my friend found hers so it wasn't the end of the world. 
We managed some great feats this week!!

Sunday night we went to Leicester Square casinos and managed to make a great profit considering we barely put anything on the table. I came back with £10 up and my friend, the gambling master, came back with a £30 profit. So obviously thats what the shopping came out of =P

Here are my two brlliant purchases that I'm very proud of!
This purse is a present for a friend (shush she'll never know of the bargain!!) So at the end of finding great cosmetics bags but weren't suitable as purses, cute purses but tooexpensive we ended in primark. My last chance at a present and I found this adorable purse ticketed at only £2. BARGAIN!! So I went to pay and it only rung up at a pound, £1!

 I was so happy especially as the same happened in New Look with this great bracelet/ring combi. Again ticketed at £2 but only costing £1!! SCORE =D

Getting Somewhere

After numerous hours teaching myself As Business Studies, researching laws, licences and money and typing up everything its done!!

You may be a little confused as to what I'm talking about so here it is.
I have finished writing my business plan!
I have written my terms of employment, cash flow forecasting table and everything needed for my business plan.

A long stretch down a very long road but now I'm wel on my way.

This coming Monday I will be attending Pure London's Wholesale trade fair making connections and seeing every option I have for buying. Should be fun, even with an early morning!

And on top of all this I'm even making a profit in my first year!! Good times ahead after Monday next step - The bank!
