Jade's SS15 Accessories Style Diary With McArthurGlen Cheshire Oaks!

Wednesday 25 March 2015

One of the easiest ways to update your look is to treat yourself to some new accessories, and thanks to McArthurGlen Designer Outlets, we did just that! With over 250 brands including All Saints, Reiss, Ted Baker, French Connection, Joseph, Kurt Geiger, Mulberry, Michael Kors and Swarovski offering all year savings of up to 60%, McArthurGlen Designer Outlets are the go to place for savvy shoppers like Tara and I to boost our wardrobes! 

To celebrate the new fashion season, McArthurGlen treated us both to a day our at our local outlet (Cheshire Oaks Ellesmere Port in my case) and challenged us to buy two amazing designer accessories to help us create a five day style diary showing just how versatile they can be! 

I picked up a fierce pair of Michael Kors Elisa Leopard Heels from fab designer footwear and accessories store Daniel Footwear, coming in a £93 from £130. I had wanted these for ages but had missed my size in the new year sales so when I saw them I literally squealed and held my breath until the sales assistant brought the box out to me! My second accessory is a beaut Lulu Guinness Black and White Striped Leather Pouch bag from the Lulu Guinness store, a HUGE bargain at £45 from £150! I am such a sucker for monochrome stripes and I even bypassed more leopard print for this bad boy. Amazingly it was the last one in the store, so I took that as a sign that we were meant to be! 



As Tara said, both pieces 'couldn't be more Jade' so I knew we were going to work well together. To the style diary! . . .

Monday - Work. Time to make the standard white shirt/black separates office wear a touch more me with some rawrsome heels and a super chic clutch to set it all off. I felt just that little bit closer to being Olivia Pope.


Tuesday - Lunch with Dad. Dad is always saying how he likes a lady in heels, usually when I'm clomping around in my DM's, so he would be very pleased to see me walking a bit taller in my new Kors, whilst matching my new Lulu with a feminine striped blouse.



Wednesday - Day Off. I took my influence from our girl Gwen Stefani here, often seen in rolled up boyfriend jeans and heels. It's amazing how a fabulous shoe can upgrade even the most casual look!



Thursday - Date Night. A little black dress for a little drink out with my man. The leopard heels and striped bag really update an otherwise simple look, giving it (and the sass in my step!) a new lease of life.



Friday - Big Night Out. You may have noticed, I like to clash my fashion ;) So my new leopard heels and monochrome bag were just dying to take on some sequins and colour! I've always been a fan of that old school Carrie SATC look, the subtle art of basically throwing anything on and it somehow working, and these two accessories are just perfect for doing that!



I couldn't believe the bargains in Cheshire Oaks! I had such a good time but I really am pleased with my picks because they're SO me. I totally have a thing for pairing leopard and monochrome stripes (blame Gwen again) so together these two will be switching up my seasonal looks for a long time to come!

Massive thanks to McArthurGlen for an awesome day, even my man was kept happy with a break for lunch at YO! Sushi (YUM) and the odd nip into Nike, Adidas and Boss to re-energise him for the next shopping quarter! They're really is something for everyone and if you've never been to your local or haven't been in a while you really must check it out soon!
