New Year = New Wardrobe!

Happy New Year from Toppingyou blog shop! 🙂

Hopefully the first week back at work has not been to much of a shock to the system… Ease the stress by investing in some key pieces at cut prices.

A classic white shirt will never date, pair it with a pencil skirt and heels for instant office to bar glamour.

As always, the fun purchases remain party dresses and sparkle, but January is supposedly the time to settle down and be sensible (well, until the weekend at least!)

January sober – but stylish, naturally! – style inspiration:

Secret Santa Codes!

Hi all, well it’s that time of year again 🙂

Are we allowed to say the C word? I think so….. Here it comes: Christmas!!! It’s coming up fast and that means treats for you and treats for them. Because honestly, is it even possible to purely buy for others and never get a secret little cheeky gift to self? So here at Toppingyou blog we like to give a little Secret Santa code out to help any guilt subside. Just add yourself onto the Top Deals newsletter on the sidebar and wait to see which automated code you get.

Happy shopping!

January brights: Classic inspiration

Winter is here, but that doesn’t mean colour is over for the next few months…

Secret Santa update!

For those enquiring, the Secret Santa code will be released tomorrow (please check your inbox! – & If you haven’t signed up for newsletters, now’s your chance…just pop your email address in the box on the sidebar and you’ll always get links and codes galore.)

christmas-partyYes, it’s finally civilised to say the C word: Christmas is hurtling towards us and it’s a time for giving (well, you might get yourself a few cheeky gifts along the way, but that’s a hazard of being in shopping mode I say!) To sweeten things up, here at Toppingyou blog, a Secret Santa code is issued a month before Christmas. As ever, items are sent same or next day delivery with tracking to ensure it’s ready – and most of all, cheaper and less stressful than a High Street nightmare excursion.

There will also be upcoming shipping deals for multiple purchases (available internationally too) so watch this space 😀

Happy shopping!

 

Happy Halloween!

Yes it’s that time of year again – why not indulge and tilt your cap to a little spooky style? Without compromising your fashion credentials, naturally!

If you want a literal hat… this floppy trilby is divine! And aside from being a little bit witchy, it’s pure wool so you’ll treasure it when winter is here…

But for a more overt Halloween, you could don these fluffy red horns! Just pair it with a slinky black outfit and vampy makeup for your easy and instant Halloween costume.

Springtime – Hurrah!

Warm weather beckons at last, and now’s the best time to be wearing clashing prints and crop tops! Many new rare and discontinued items from Topshop are due to be added, please watch the site as it is currently in its development stages with many new bargains to be had! The Toppingyou ebay store continues – but ideally this will soon be the only Toppingyou sales platform, so be sure to sign up to my newsletter (see sidebar)

Inspiration time, mix clashing prints with denim or camo; or mix floral loud prints with sheer pretty blouses and girly shoes! This scribble graffiti style dress is an easy way to get that high impact haphazard edge, just mix it with a cropped army style jacket and sandals – but have a browse for plenty of options to suit your style!

Merry Christmas from Toppingyou!

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas – or General festive seasonal happiness. Please look out for many upcoming deals.

For multiple purchases, email me for a secret Santa discount code! 😀

90s Fashion is BACK!

London Fashion Week has revealed a surprising trend – the 90s grunge look is back. Channel My So Called Life, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air – you get the idea! Grunge, that no-no combo double denim, hip hop bagginess – it’s all BACK!

Check out House Of Holland baggy mismatched prints, dungarees and crop tops, cropped trousers, tie dye – and of course a great retro 90s soundtrack here.

And dungarees are back, not only did House of Holland feature them heavily – printed ones and plain ones, but also Topshop Unique (with a baggy shirt underneath), Acne (with a bomber jacket underneath) Margaret Howell featured utility denim dungarees and over in Milan, Max Mara featured silk dungarees and kick flare cropped trousers. Crop trousers especially with a kick flare will be coming back in a big way: Prada, Moschino and Gucci all featured variations of them!

Get your fix right here…

Denim dungarees

Denim skirts…

Baggy silk shirt dress

And it wouldn’t be 90s fashion without military combat jackets, shirts and dresses!

Bomber Jacket, Boots, tie dye… Look out for more stock to be added soon!
