Review - Vivien of Holloway lined pencil skirt in 'pink tartan'

This review shall be looking at the Vivien of Holloway (VoH) lined pencil skirt in 'pink tartan'.

I really wanted something from the Black Friday sales. I didn't want to pay high overseas postage so opted for something from home. I eventually came across the VoH Instagram (@vivienofholloway) and found the 24% off code, which entitled the user to 24% off their order across the whole online store.

I had lusted over this skirt for ages, so when I saw that it was also in the sale, retailing at £49 down from £59, I was a happy bunny.

With the 24% off code this made the skirt a much more affordable price of £37.24. 

Haul on a budget

My first post, hurrah! I thought I would share with you my little haul from this weekend. My friend, Lauren from Birmingham came to visit me and we decided to do a little trip to Wood Green in London in search of cheap goodies from the high street and charity shops...

 

Lauren and I headed to Traid: a charity shop that holds an eclectic mix of high street and vintage fashions. I (left) tried on this little green Christmas number, originally from Principles (£15.99). Unfortunately it was too big otherwise I would have been very tempted! Lauren (right) tried on this saucy houndstooth pencil dress (£5.99 - no label) which she did buy. It fitted her beautifully. In the centre is another fantastic find by Lauren. This pencil skirt (£7.99 - Hobbs) was very unique has it had fishtail detailing on both sides. This definitely gave a very 1940s feel - and the wool is perfect for the winter.
