Dixi love

Accessories are the best way to update and transform any outfit. My new place to go is Dixi. They have everything from simple chic pieces to stunning statement pieces.

I am building quite a nice Dixi collection. But obviously there is room for more!

Sale picks

At the moment, I'm not really doing much clothes shopping, due to the fact I'm now 21weeks pregnant and my whole body is completely changing.
I did however manage to get a couple of goodies in the Topshop sale that I've had my eye on.

The boots I have had on my wish list for ages now but couldn't really justify buying them, that was until they went on sale at the bargain price of £40!

It's an investment!

Every time I make a purchase that my other half classes as expensive, this is what I tell him . . . 'Its an investment'

Most of the time he doesn't agree but has now came to realise not to dispute my investment choices.

Here is a little sneak peak of my latest investment from ASOS. This picture provides no justice to the dress what so ever. But trust me its amazing! And will be my chosen outfit for this weekend.

Tell me . . . Do you guys invest your money in a similar way or are you grown up and save it in a responsible way?

Guest Blogger - Introducing the lovely Oscar

Hi everyone at ‘The Button Box’. My name is Oscar and I am Ashley’s guest blogger. I am currently in my 3^rd year at university studying Fashion Communication and also run my own street style blog (http://fashiononthecurbside.blogspot.co.uk/) feel free to follow and send me some of your own street style shots to be featured in my blog.

The topic I want to discuss is Fashion Illustration. It is something that is overseen by consumers but is the basic foundation used by all designers used to show their collections before and after making them. They are also regularly used in fashion magazines to promote different companies in various creative ways. Some of my favourite illustrations/illustrators are featured below:

 Also, calling all students!!

A new site called ‘UNi DAYS’ offers all students in college or university online discounts on popular stores such as Topshop, Urban Outfitters, Schuh and ASOS. They confirm you are a student through your student e-mail so you do not need to worry about paying and having a NUS card and can receive excellent discounts and bonus discounts online.
