Disco Pants Return

If you have been following my little blog since I started you will remember my post on Disco Pants -link- and how I was on a quest to find some without paying the £74 for American Apparel. 

So the thing is over the weekend ASOS had 20% off and they sell the AA disco pants, sadly they had run out of the black in my size so I purchased the blue.. 

As soon as I opened the packet I have accepted why people pay £74, they are amazing quality. Super thick and peel on style. Once I had them on (sorry for the poor quality photo, it was late and I didn't notice how dirty my mirror was) I was in love. 

I could genuinely see them replacing jeans in my world, they are very comfy and really versitile. 

My ONLY issue is the price.. they were still £59 at the discounted price, and as someone who doesn't like spending £40+ on my jeans this feels like an awful lot of money.

Being 5"3 I was expecting them to be too long and they could do with being 2 inches shorter but nothing my Grandma and her sewing machine cant fix. 

I also purchased the Daisy Street version after reading a couple of reviews online claiming 'they are amazing' but if you want something to smooth you out and look faboosh don't even go there. 

Yes they are 1/3 of the price but they are legging thickness. 

These are the type of disco pants you should get if you want them for one night only, they feel really flimsy in comparison to the AA version. 

The one thing I will say is compared to the Topshop and ASOS own brand ones they are pretty good. They don't gape around the crotch and aren't miles too long which was a surprise. 

I think if you are over 5"6 these will be too short on you. 

However there is light at the end of the tunnel if you are after the AA disco pants for a cheaper price, I have just ordered the black from a fellow on Ebay 'new with tags'. The Ebay seller had multiple sizes and all different colours of genuine AA disco pants for £45+ P&P (£3.60) making them £48.90 total price. 

Not bad if you ask me. Seeing as I currently have the blue ones at home I will compare and if they are 100% genuine I will probably send the blue back to ASOS and keep the black.. 

Or maybe I will keep them both..

Have you got disco pants? If yes what brand and what are your thoughts on them?

Disney's Frozen - Movie Review

First up this is one of the most beautiful Disney films ever, the drawing is frankly mind blowing. Seriously beautiful. 

I don't love it as much as I love Tangled but it is a really lovely film, filled with all that Disney hope and happiness. It has some cracking one liners that mainly come from Olaf the snowman. 

With Idina Menzel and Kristen Bell the voices are familiar and they have a great on screen relationship as sisters. 

The music is unbelievably catchy, if you do go see this be prepared to humm 'Do you want to build a snowman' for days after. 

LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie. 

But I love all Disney.

Outfits of the week/weekend

This was Thursdays work outfit, after a day and a half of jet lag recovery I was in the mood for comfy at work. 

I opted for this striped jumper from Forever 21 with my Marks and spencers black jeggings and my new gray Ugg boots. 

Tied up hair and pretty standard makeup.  

I seem to have lost Friday's outfit already! But this is what I wore to Laurens house last night. I spent all day re-organising my room and putting away clothes in my PJs. 

I opted for my new American Eagle striped jumper with the GAP scarf, I teamed it with the Zara zip leggings that I live in and the new black Bearpaw boots. 

And finally onto today, back at work. 

I am wearing a white chiffon style shirt from Primark (still in stores) with a Dorothy Perkins cami underneath. 

I am wearing my Zara zip leggings again with the most adorable skirt in the world from ASOS. 

IT HAS PUGS ON IT. 

Oh and I have got my Bearpaw boots on again.  

Deciding to juice

This is one of those things I have been hearing about for months. 

"I'm on the juice fast" is a sentence we have all heard at least once, one thing I should say is I am not doing the diet because I know I do not have that kind of will power on the lead up to Christmas. 

BUT I am a massive vegetable phobe. I hate veggies with a passion unless they are in a salad covered in dressing, so it's about time I changed that and start putting something good into my body. 

I have read up loads of recipes and seen YouTube videos on making delicious juices and I have to say I am really excited to start this. I am going to purchase a juicer today and hopefully be having lovely vegetable filled drinks for breakfast before the end of the week.

The quest is to be feeling fitter and healthier by July next year and to not feel the need to scoff down my weight in chocolate. 

I will of course keep my journey documented here. 

Bearpaw boots at TKMaxx

Even though I shopped till I dropped in New York, on Wednesday I headed to my local TKMaxx in search of some new Christmas decs. 

Whilst I was there I couldnt help but notice a huge collection of Bearpaw sheepskin boots. 

I love my Uggs beyond belief and think they are worth every penny but at £35 (usually retail around the £70 mark) I couldn't resist. 

Seeing as I didn't have any black Ugg/Ugg style boots I decided to snap them up. 

Tah-dah my new snuggly boot collection. 

Man my tan ones look battered.. 

Black Friday NYC Haul/How to do Black Friday in NYC

I'm sure some of you are itching to see what I got my paws on in New York last week (seeing as I have been going on about it for weeks) and it doesn't disappoint. Although I didn't manage to get any of the big items on my list (Kate Spade purse, Minkoff bag, Marc Jacobs watch) I managed to get lots of super useful/will wear them till they are threadbare items. 

So first up a bit of back story on what New York was like over Thanksgiving weekend and black Friday. We arrived on Thanksgiving Thursday to find a very busy airport, had to queue in JFK for about 40 minutes to get through boarder control, due to flights being cancelled the day before the airport was super busy. 

Anyway after what felt like a few hours we got to the hotel, dumped our bags and walked back out the door to Times Square. 

To my surprise most of the shops in Times Square were already open (4pm ish) on Thanksgiving including American Eagle, Aero, F21 and a few others. I of course had to go into American Eagle where I picked up these PJ bottoms and this jumper. 

Both of these came to $35 as everything in AE was 50% off.

After queuing to pay for about 20 minutes we were in desperate need of some food so left a manic Times Square pretty quickly. 

On Black Friday we woke up at about 5am (damn jet lag) and after showering decided to head out to find some breakfast but once again we were side tracked by the shops which were open at 6am!

We hit up GAP first

Returning from New York City!

It was an amazing trip to the big city although terribly cold hitting -2/-3 most days. 

We walked for miles and saw a lot of the sights but as always with New York there were many things we didn't get to do so a trip back is already in the works. 

Here are a few snaps from the trip. 

Cartier Christmas lights

Steam from the Subway

Our Lady Liberty

Central Park from the Top of The Rock

Christmas tree in one of the apartment courtyards on Park Avenue

All in all this trip was freaking amazing, if you only plan on going to New York once I thoroughly recommend going when all the Christmas lights are there as they are truly beautiful. The also make you realise England are pretty pants at Christmas decs!
