Happy hump day!

I thought I would give you some outfit inspiration if you were off for a night out this weekend! I bought this Zara dress for £29.99 about two weeks ago and I just loved the colour and the mesh sleeves. It was the perfect dress to wear with my new Louboutins featured previously here. I couldn't find a High Street alternative for the shoes but I think it would look great with any black or even red patent pointed pumps. 

How cool is my bag? I bought this on Khao San Road in Bangkok for 300 Baht which is less than £3! With all the Coca Cola pieces floating around this season (especially the amazing Ashish pieces) I just had to buy it! It's actually handmade from coca cans which makes it that little bit cooler. 

Are you buying anything new to wear out this weekend?

Net-A-Porter Staff Sale - Christian Louboutin | Acne Studios

The Net-A-Porter staff sale was something I had been looking forward to since I started working here last April...The day the date was released I could have cried...it was happening whilst I was in Thailand *sob* talk about the worst timing EVER! I was so gutted I wouldn't be able to make it, but luckily you can purchase family and friends tickets for the Saturday (staff go on the friday - the longer you've been part of the company the earlier your time slot = much better things). Luckily I trust my mum as she is just as fashion obsessed as me so I had every faith that I would return home from Thailand with some lovely designer bargains awaiting my arrival.

The only trouble is that you get a very strict hour time slot so she was having to look for herself, me and my sisters - she said it was extremely stressful! There is also a strict no returns policy and no changing rooms or mirrors to be able to try things on, so it's very tricky.

I'd told my mum to mainly look out for a pair of heels for me, preferably Louboutins as I got some loafers for Christmas but wanted something with a heel so I could wear them out for maybe for a nice nice meal etc. Taxi shoes no less! 

Here are my gorgeous items...

Heels - Christian Louboutin// Dress - Acne Studios

                        

                         

My shoes were only £90 (the last pair of red soles in the entire building and they happened to be my size - yay!) and my dress £40...now I know why everyone at work was getting so excited. 

My mum managed to get some Isabel Marant boots, Jimmy Choo flats, Valentino heels and a Sophia Webster Clutch. My sister also got some Stella McCartney heels- all at way less than £100 each.

Outfit posts to follow of course. 

What do you think of my bargain designer purchases? Have you ever bought anything from a Sample Sale? What would be your ideal sale purchase?
