Barratts Christmas Giveaway.

Today, I was excited to receive another email telling me about an exciting giveaway. This time it was from Barrats shoes asking me if I was interested in entering their giveaway that they were holding.

The Prize is in two parts and worth £100.

The first part of a £30 giveaway is over on Kel Loves blog. <go and say hi.

The second part is worth £70 and is open to bloggers only. To enter this giveaway, you have to create an outfit post for a festive occasion. The outfits should be designed to fit one of a range of Christmas situations which can be either:
*A walk in a winter wonderland
* Christmas party
* A shopping Outfit
*Christmas day outfit
* Or anything else festive you can think of.

The clothing can come from any website you choose, but the shoes must come from Barratts. Also, don't forget Barratts have their own range or bags and accessories, so you can also use these in your outfits!

Since i have already created a party outfit, I thought i would do a long day of Christmas shopping outfit:
Barrats creepers


For my Long Shopping Day outfit I wanted to make sure the outfit would be completely comfortable, shoes being the most important ones. I tried wearing heels once on a long shopping trip and had to be helped home by my poor friend. Never again! 
I chose a pair of simple black Creepers that cost a bargain price of £25.00. Feel these look amazing and are so cosy on your feet.
The rest of the outfit comes from the wonderful topshop. I found a stunning Christmas holly jumper for £50, and paired it with a cute leather skirt. I have also added a ox blood collar which costs £22.00 to add a little more style and detail.  I chose a cross body bag which is ideal to free up those hands so you can carry more shopping bags! Finally, I had to add a cute Christmas pudding beanie I found in River Island. It costs £15.99 and found it to be such a cute little find.


Hope you like the outfit.

Introducing Mallzee: a new social way of shopping


Mallzee? What is it?


I was recently contacted about an exciting, brand new shopping website called Mallzee. It is due to be launched later this year and i have been asked to tell you guys about it.

Mallzee is all about creating a new experience for shopping online. Users create their own personalised shopping mall (Mallzee) by picking their favourite brands and stores. Their fancy software then finds products matching their personal style and showcases them in their Mallzee!

To make the experience social, Mallzee includes Facebook chat, the ability to create polls to help choose your perfect outfit to buy and also look at your friends selections and ‘Mallzees’. What is great about it is that whenever someone buys something on your selection, you will get PAID for it, even when you purchase anything yourself. You can then use this money to shop or donate it to charity.

 
 
Currently  they have over 200 brands signed up to Mallzee (Urban Outfitters, New Look, Feel Unique and St. Tropez to name a few). Please sign up for your exclusive prelaunch invite at Mallzee.com and you can find more information here as well. A little incentive for you to click this link and sign up is that there is £100 up for grabs. Two seconds of your life for £100? why not.  Think this is going to make shopping so much more fun and love the concept of owning your own little boutique without leaving the house.
 
So for a chance of winning £100 and to sign up for the pre-launch of this exciting website go to Mallzee.com

Thanks for reading.
