custom heels from Groupon!

Well I woke up to a frugal fashion delight this morning! The Groupon goblin has lured me into its treasure cave once more, but boy oh boy is this a deal!

£19 pp custom crystal shoe workshop with Nicky Rox!
Custom shoe designer Nicky Rox whose design studio is based in Poole is offering her fabulous Shoe Workshops for only £19 pp on Groupon! The workshop lasts two hours, a variety of crystals are available to customise your heels with and the BEST part about it is that you can bring your own heels! This means it could be a £2 pair from Primark, that plain boring pair you bought in the sales at Christmas, or a basic pair of platforms from eBay (there's plenty to choose from, here's a link to loads!) 


The only stipulation is that the shoes you bring must be plain, but they can be satin, suede, synthetic leather or PU (and I'm assuming real leather too?) and they can be any style, though no trainers or flip flops please! The workshop is at the Cottonwood Hotel in Bournemouth, a super cute boutique hotel which might not look much on the outside, but the inside is cute, kitsch and very pink!


The Cottonwood Hotel, Bournemouth
Hurry though, it's Groupon so the deal is only on until midnight and there are limited dates available. Aren't you just dying for someone to ask you where you got those fabulous heels?!

frugal fashion from Groupon!

Groupon offers The Bible for less for 48 hours only!

Okay so enough with the blasphemy, I'm not talking about the actual Bible, I am of course talking about my fashion bible Vogue, amongst other Condé Nast glossies like Tatler, Vanity Fair and GQ for all those metrosexual males out there.

£19.99 for 12 issues!
Until midnight Friday 3rd June, Groupon is offering a year's subscription to a Condé Nast magazine, 12 issues for just £19.99! This is a fantastic deal as usually Condé Nast subscriptions cost a minimum of around £40 even with internal offers (I was lucky enough to receive mine as a birthday present from my beautiful best girls this year!). Perfect as a gift or as a treat to yourself for end of exams, 


Also until midnight on Friday 3rd June, London based make-up brand Eyeko are offering £20 worth of their Tokyo inspired make-up for £8! 

£20 worth for only £8!
Inspired by the playful, colourful elements of young Japanese fashion trends, Eyeko has already been featured in Cosmopolitan, Elle and Marie Claire amongst other publications. They offer a range of adorably packaged cosmetics created on the principles of cute colours and natural ingredients. In particular their range of Fat Balms have caught my eye:

Toffee Fat Balm - £6.50!
The Fat Balms are a multi-purpose product which can be used for lips and cheeks, free from lanolin (which can affect sensitive skins) and also provides SPF 15! They've had great reviews on blogs as well as in the magazines and for only £6.50 for a 2-in-1 product they're a beauty bargain! The Toffee Fat Balm looks to be perfect for Summer, ideal for wear with a smokey eye, dewy skin and a healthy tan for that post-beach chic!

If anyone takes advantage of the Eyeko offer, let me know what you think!
