SATC Episode 2: Charlotte


This Park Avenue princess is certainly chic, but makes her statement with a more elegant, understated- and certainly more consistent- style than fashion risk-taker Carrie.
This simple, elegant dress from ASOS is the epitomy of understated elegance and is reminiscent of Charlotte's wardrobe.


Charlotte tempers the conservative style of her uptown pedigree with whimsical or girlie fashion choices that reflect her optimistic (some might say naive) world view. Her romantic sensibility often plays out in frills, pastel hues and floral motifs.
I love this satin pencil dress from Karen Millen, and I think Charlotte would too!


Clothes
 Charlotte isn't the one to bare too much skin, but she still knows the power of her feminine form and often flirts it up with spaghetti straps here, flounces there. Every element of the outfit is always just so, even when she's going for weekend casual.
This dress from the Love concession at Topshop is perfectly feminine and flattering.

and this cardigan from Topshop is the perfect conservative finishing touch. Just add pearls!
Shoes
Charlotte continues her feminine fashion sense with her demure footwear choices, guaranteed to match all of those carefully appointed ensembles to perfection.
These classically sophisticated kitten heels from Dune are the ultimate in sassy Charlotte style and perfect for every occasion.

And these mini mary-jane styles are fabulous for a more casual, weekend look.
 
Bags
In line with her fashion credo, Charlotte's not looking for anything too flashy in the bag category.
Classic shapes, simple totes and elegant shoulder bags are her rule of thumb. 
this simple, clean tote from Oasis is perfect for shopping or breakfast with the girls, and this satin clutch from Karen Millen is the icing on the cake for a flawless date night outfit.

So there you have it, we are half way through the Cheap Chic Sex and the City look!
Keep your eyes peeled for Samantha and Carrie, they're coming soon!

Bag a Bargain This Week!

Listen up lovelies as I've got a quickly here for all of you with shopping trips planned over the next few days!

H&M are giving out vouchers for 20% off one item in store when you register to the H&M fashion newsletter online. The offer's on until the end of May though there are rumours it may return in July so watch this space!

Once you register you'll receive the voucher in an email, it'll be valid one month from the registration date or until the end of the promo. You can only use the voucher once and on one item so be selective over said item! Perhaps a gorgeous bikini for that holiday you have planned or a summer dress (I hear the weather is going to vastly improve this week!).
I love this elegant leopard print maxi dress which is already only £14.99 without the discount!
I've already tried it on and it looks great loose and flowing as well as with a big thick belt to cinch in the waist!


Also, make sure you sign up to the American Apparel newsletter to get a 10% off voucher code.
It's a bit cheeky but you can up that discount to 15% by providing more information about yourself, just click on 'Tell us more' on your confirmation email, add your full address when prompted and you'll get a 15% off code via email.

One of my favourite items from there is this button up shirt in pink. Also available in other colours this shirt can be worn with almost everything and tied at the middle. 
Like a lot of their products it is unisex, which is good to know if you and your boyfriend like to match your clothes :)

Sorry but you'll have to be quick with this one as it ends this sunday (23rd May) but you can get 20% off in store and online at New Look. To get the discount in store simply print off this New Look voucher. To get it online use the code FFMAY10 at the checkout.
The voucher’s valid on full price items only. It excludes permanently reduced and promotional items, concession ranges, gift cards or vouchers and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offers i.e. student discount. 
I love these floral shorts with brace detail. Dress then up or wear them casually with any of your favourite tops underneath!

And finally, fancy shoe lovers can get 10% off Aldo both in store and online by signing up to their online newsletter. Print off the voucher or use the code online. 

The 10% discount applies to regularly priced merchandise only, which is fine as they have some amazing styles in at the moment! 
That includes their version of the revival of the clog. These sky-high stunners are only £60 full-price so you'll have to fight me for them with the discount on top! Only joking... they're also available in brown!


Well that's my summer weekend wardrobe sorted! Bring on the sun!! Please!!!
