Today I thought I'd write about an App I've been using on my mobile and iPad for over a year now, and that's Depop!

Depop is an App that you can post photos of an item on with a bit of a description and sell it to anyone else on the App. Sortof like eBay or Shpock, expect Depop take the fees straight away! And thats why I love it, eBay makes you wait a month plus the fees are always excessive.

 However, Depop is something you put a price on to sell (not an auction) I love to be cheeky and message people with cheaper offers. Why not? They will either accept it or counter you? 
I'm currently having a HUGE wardrobe clear out and everything on my page is pretty much 95% brand new with tags. A huge range of clothing styles from shoes, bags, dress and everything else you can think of. Plus I'm selling all ranges of sizes from XXS to sizes 24! 

 My username is @amyjaneoldfield (link here), be sure to check my page out! 



Comment what you use to sell and why you love it? Comment your Depop username and I will be sure to follow you X

So River Island have recently had a HUGE 50% sale which seemed to be going on for weeks, when it first hit online I of course had to make a small order. So what did I get?
Blue Embroidered Alannah Relaxed Skinny Jeans 10R RRP £48 paid £24
Black Chain Strap Slouch Bag RRP £33 paid £16.50
White Metallic Panel Tote Bag RRP £47 paid £23.50
Gold Metallic Slim Front Pocket Foldout Purse RRP £8 paid £4
Cream Floral Print Cigarette Trousers size 10 RRP £40 paid £20

Now, first off the trousers I bought both in a size 10R which is my normal size for River Island and I find their jeans are the most comfortable to wear! The cream floral cigarette trousers fit perfect, they are a bit see-through which put me off but never the less they are smart for work-wear or events. 

The skinny jeans I was expected a lot from, but I will say I am very disappointed. The site says nothing about them being cropped, or shorter legged and I am normally a size regular in leg length. But when I wore them, I felt like they was a little short, as to just above my ankle? My other River Island jeans aren't like that, they fitted fine otherwise a little uncomfortable but I assume after wearing them a few times they would get more stretched. 

 The bags! Well the black chain bag I bought purely because of the price and colour, black goes with every outfit right? It's a large bag suitable for long days out where you need to take a lot of stuff, or for university/school use to carry books in. Plus, £16.50 is super cheap especially for River Island! It arrived beautiful, no issues, I love it!

The white metallic tote bag, I had high expectations for I was expecting it to have that 'WOW' factor. But it doesn't... It has a lot of silver on the bag, just as the photos but I felt like it made it look slightly cheap? Maybe that's just me, but the bag style just isn't for me...

And finally the small gold purse, I bought this because of the size as I recently bought a small but expensive Ted Baker bag (discussed on my previous blog post). My current River Island purse is huge in size, but this one is perfect for nights out or just to carry the essentials. 


Overall, I have mixed feelings about the purchases I made some I love but some I just feel like they could of been better. Let me know what you got in the River Island sale? Or what you would of liked to have gotten. X

So recently Ted Baker have been having a HUGE clear-out sale with up to 50% off! Plus, me being me who is totally obsessed with bags had to make a small purchase. So about two weeks ago when the sale first started I ordered two items;
- Oriental Blossom small tote bag £65 RRP £109
- Entangled enchantment large shopper bag £24 RRP £40

 Now the first thing I will admit was how disappointing I was with the packaging, in the past when I've bought items (especially the expensive ones) they normally come in a Ted Baker dust bag, or cardboard green/yellow box. Both the bags arrived in a large tall brown cardboard box (packaging) and inside where the two bags which looked lonely in such a big box. The bags themselves were in a clear plastic bag, like you get when ordering clothes off the likes of New Look. They of course then had the new wrapping around the bags, but that's it... No boxes, no dust bags, and if I'm honest I was shocked.


However, I love the two bags the large tote one I have been using for things like work/university to carry a lot of items in. And the smaller bag I have been using when out shopping, using the satchel strap across body. Both bags are stunning, I'm very impressed with the quality and would totally buy more (if I could afford).


So I thought my Ted Baker sale bargains where over, but no! I recently went to CheshireOaks Designer Outlet and visited the Ted Baker store (which pretty much always has a sale on). I saw so many beautiful dresses (ideal for my graduation but all the wrong colour), but I came across this stunning gem neck top. It was beautiful, just like all of Ted Baker's items and I was expecting the high designer price tag. 

But NO! The top was in the sale RRP £139 reduced to £40 in the outlet store but then had further reductions and was only £24!!!!! WHAT?! They only had size 0, 1 and 5's but not many in the size 1, I tried the size 1 on in the store. The staff were so helpful and helped me decide it was a perfect size and bought it instantly.

So a while back River Island had a sale on.. And of course I took the chance to grab a few bits, if I'm honest with you guys I was slightly disappointed I spent the whole of about 15 minutes on the website going through the sale and adding various items to my basket. But when I was finished and clicked to see the basket, to checkout it popped up explaining half of my basket had became out of stock! (Shame) So in the end, I only ended up buying two items... (Even though I originally had about six)

The first, which is the product I'm most excited about is this beautiful bag... I picked it purely down to design, the large style appealed to me purely down to being able to use it for university. Carrying books, laptop etc would be perfect to fit inside this bag (plus I don't always like taking too expensive bags into university!). The bag itself has a large compartment inside which is opened and shut by a small metal clasp button... Perfect to put less expensive products in because it can easily be seen as it's not full shut off, I would personally put things like a hair brush, books etc inside that bit.. Within that compratment it as a small zip area like most other bags. But then the part which I love about this bag is on the back theres a full size compartment which is fully zipped across the top which is very secure and perfect to fit my laptop in! The bag also has the option to be used with a satchel strap (which I personally doubt I will use).

 I then purchased these beautiful shoes, (website exclusive) I loved the white colour with the croc design it was great for the end of summer and into fall season... And I must admit these are one of the most comfortable shoes I have worn yet, I was worried about the part which shuts by pushing the metal though the material and clasping shut because I have such small, skinny ankles. Normally with shoes (or belts use the same) I have to end up putting an extra hole to make sure it shuts tight around my ankle but these are perfect! No issues!

I know this is probably the smallest mini haul purchase I've wrote about on the blog, but I just had to mention about the bag because of how perfect it is for school/college/university I highly suggest for people to check out River Island because the bags they offer are just perfect. X

Hey guys, so I recently visited the Yankee Candle store in Liverpool city center which is another small size store like most I've managed to visit. I went in just to have a quick browse as whats new and to pick up one or two things, that's when I noticed one entire block of shelves was pretty much empty with only one or two things left... On the side there was a 70% off note sign for this display (hence why it was likely to be left empty). 

To my amazement the store even had a security guard on the door, my mum asked what was happening why the huge sale? Was the store shutting down? He laughed with a reply of no, they just have too much stock and need to sell it so they can fit the new stuff in... This is the second day of the sale, but they are about to close the shop for lunch then restock after is there anything in particular your after?" My mum was in complete shock, as where I... She asked if there would be any jars in the sale? He then told her to head towards the back of the store, while he would go get some out the back (there wasn't many people in the store as they had just shut the doors behind us).. He came back with a small box of candles that where we picked up a few jars, then decided to go back after lunch to checkout the restock and ended up buying again! (Crazy, but for 70% off who wouldn't?)

 Summer Scoop
When I first went into the store there was several votive's in this scent, but when the security gaurd went in the back to get some jars there was one of this scent which I leaped in to get hold of. I picked up three votive's of summer scoop RRP £1.80, but in the sale they was only £0.54p, then I managed to grab the last medium size jar RRP £18.99, but in the sale it was £5.70. The scent is very fresh, food like with a slight sugary sweet with a vanilla ice-cream hint...

 Sweet Apple
There was a few large jars and votive's of this scent when the store restocked after lunch, I picked up one because I was struggling to carry for space... The scent is very food-like, with a sweet sugary apple that isn't too overpowering with 'fruity' and 'foody' smells.

 Lavender
This scent was the first I saw and grabbed my hands on, they seemed to have a large amount of these on sale (and I would of bought more if I was able to carry them all back with me haha). To my suprise they even had this scent on display in the 'non' sale section even though it was 70% off, as for the scent its exactly what the name is... A very floral, fresh, powerful 'lavender' smell. I picked up one large jar RRP £21.99 but in the sale only cost me £6.60, one medium jar RRP £18.99 but only costing £5.70 in the sale. And then two votives RRP £1.80 but again, in the sale only costing £0.54p.

 Lemon Lavender
There was only a small handful of this scent left, they only had medium size jars so of course I couldn't leave it there... The smell is slightly different to the 'lavender' and more of a sweet, watery lemon smell with a slight hint of floral lavender.

Fluffy Towels
This scent was the last on sale, in fact it wasn't even placed out on display and in one of the sale cardboard boxes on the floor. I was just very cheeky and picked up the medium size jar then asked for the price and shocking it was only £5.70 even though it's RRP £18.99. The scent is one of my all time favorites, it's a very soft fresh like smell that reminds me of talcum powder.

 Clean Cotton
This melt was in the same box as the fluffy towels, the last medium jar (or the only one I could see in this scent). I picked it up and asked if it was in the sale, assuming it was since there was lots of lavender jars inside the same box... And of course it was!! Retailing in the sale for only £5.70 I added to my basket and purchased straight away. This scent is very soft, refreshing and 'clean' like almost reminding me of newly washed bedding, or the smell of the detergent you use when cleaning... So refreshing!

 Pink Dragon Fruit
This was again, the only jar I could see in store of this scent, and of course because it was very bright and pink I grabbed it before anyone else could! The scent is very sweet and tropical, but not too powerful and only costing £5.70 for the medium jar!!! Even though this is RRP £18.99 still on Yankee's website...

Pink Sands
The store seemed to have lots of this jar in medium and small jars so I decided to pick up one medium (£5.70) and three small jars (£2.70). Personally because I thought the small jar size would be a perfect stocking filler for Christmas (yes, I know, I'm already thinking of Christmas haha!). The scent is very soft, exotic and reminds me of a spicy vanilla but nothing too overpowering or food-like.

 Lake Sunset
When the store restocked later on after lunch, there was again lots of small jars in this scent, hence the reason why I decided to pick up three small jars. Again I thought these would be perfect for stocking fillers (If I don't use them by then) but for the sale price I couldn't leave them there! Again this scent is very outdoor, fresh and has an 'air' like smell reminding me of summer nights.

 Turquoise Sky
The store also had a lot of small jar's in this scent, hence I decided to pick just one up (I would of gotten more but by this point I had already picked up lots of stuff, and was starting to worry about how I would get it all home on the train lol). The scent is very fresh and outdoor like, reminding me of sea waters and the sandy salt beaches.

Witches Brew
Surprisingly, I picked a votive of this scent up which WASN'T in the 70% off sale, RRP £1.80... In fact it was part of the new Halloween range from Yankee (very exciting), I just loved the scent it was very musk like reminding me slightly of winter spices and something unique and exotic.

Overall, I ended up spending a grand total of £68.94, which seems a lot but considering all but one of these products was 70% off I saved a HUGE amount of money... I'm also rather shocked, because all the products are still FULL price on Yankee's website all round I got myself an amazing deal. Let me know if you guys ever got some pretty awesome Yankee Candle deals in the comments below or over my social media?X
