ASOS order!

It is somewhat hard for most people to believe, but I popped my ASOS cherry the other day, making use of the 30% off click frenzy discount code to purchase some snow bunny gear for my upcoming Christmas trip in the Northern Hemisphere.

Truthfully, I do have a lot of warm weather clothing and didn't really need to buy more but I have nothing that is lightweight, fashionable, windproof and also not too precious. I'm funny when I travel, I don't like to take anything too precious and delicate for fear of it getting damaged or lost. Any excuse, right? With the ASOS deal the puffy winter jackets I was looking started at well under the $100 mark which I think is great value for something that will keep you toasty warm in sub zero temps!

I figured if I was going to potentially have to return stuff anyway and pay for that, I might as well order more so I came out with three jackets that I loved the look of.

I'm being a bit lazy and not bothering to take more photos. I ended up loving two so much I kept them both because I'm torn!

This red one below was the one I returned purely because its too casual looking for my trip, but I actually love love love it! If I lived in a colder climate city I'd totally have kept it. It reminds me a bit of a snowfield jacket - like what ski instructors might wear?

And I mean who doesn't love a fur trimmed coat? LOVE the black one because of that factor. And this red one actually had a soft wooly hood too! <3

Anyway, at A$290 for all 3 I figured I had nothing to lose!

ASOS Cuteness!

As you might remember me posting, I am going to Glastonbury music festival later this year which is renowned for being rained out. My cousin recently showed me this on ASOS and my friends and I are all so tempted to buy it!

HOW CUTE IS IT!?

What's not so cute is the 50GBP price tag ouch! For a raincoat? That's just for fashion? No thank you. I would understand if it was a outdoors store specially waterproofed rain coat but for now, this is staying firmly on the wishlist and not on the buy list (until it goes on sale!).

ASOS 'In Your World'

I've been slack with posting this because I lost the charger to one of my cameras (I have no idea where it went and can't for the life of me remember the last time I had it!) but you might remember a few weeks ago I mentioned going to one of the ASOS 'In your world' launch party events in Sydney. I went to one of the parade events at Opera Point Marquee, which I have actually been to before. I love it there because of the view, ambience and glamour of being in a marquee overlooking our beautiful harbour.

I actually have never been a fan of ASOS' clothes but this was a fun, free event so I thought why not!

Excuse the very photo heavy post ahead =)

They had this wall where you could scan the pics of clothing using your smart phone and the special ASOS app to purchase it straight away.

These wristbands were personally ID'd so that they could take photos of you then scan your wristband and the photos would tag you on fb automatically. It was definitely a very technologically savvy event!

And here are some photos of the clothes on parade:

 I like the poised sparkly fun aspect of both the dresses below (though I would never personally buy them!)

 The final walk...

All up I think the clothes looked better in real life than I expected - the fabrics were better than I expected and better than I had seen of other ASOS items I've seen friends wear. The fashion parade and event in itself was short and snappy with three runs of it happening over the night and bits and pieces of finger food and drinks on offer.

All in all a fun night out and the goodie bag wasn't half bad either!

This pic is a bit terrible 'cos its on my old camera....the sunglasses are going to come in handy in Bali when I'm sitting by the pool all day!
