"The ASOS sale is now upto 70% off" .... literally the e-mail I am constantly waiting for and the one my bank account dreads. Music to my ASOS-loving ears! As the glorious sale is coming to an end I thought I would give you a quick last minute peek into the total and utter bargains I've spotted throughout the sale... all for £15 or under... because you likes spending lots when you don't have too! (Don't forget to search #KirstieShops on Twitter for more daily finds from moi!)
Why hello there my fellow Disney/Universal/Orlando lovers! I'm back once more talking all things holiday and excitement!
If you didn't know already I am heading back to my motherland in March ready for another amazing holiday full of Mickey, Harry and everything in-between!
I'm always asked so many questions when it comes to Disneyworld etc, especially from people booking their first trip or wanting to know what's best to do, wear, pack - so I thought it was about time I wrote yet another post on the magical land of Orlando and how you can make your trip that little bit easier, better and cheaper!
So, here's five things to do before you get on that plane!
1. Have a plan As annoying is that is - it really is better to have one, even if it's a vague basic idea of what you're going to do! If you're staying at a Disney hotel I would highly advise heading to the parks with 'Magic Hours' each day - that extra hour in the morning really is amazing for avoiding huge queues and getting on those rides maybe you wouldn't be able too in normal peak times. When it comes to Disneyworld - booking dinners and Fastpass's is also essential! Again, if you're staying at a Disney resort hotel this is easy - just get the My Disney Experience app and you can book your meals 6 months in advance and your fast passes 90 days in advance! This sounds crazy but it is a must, you won't get into Be Our Guest unless your booked - I booked ours last week which was 6 months in advance and there was only 3 dinner times to choose from! Fastpassing is also the guaranteed way to get on those busy rides and avoiding the hours and hours of queuing! You get three a day so use them wisely (Mine train, the 3 mountains, TOT and Toy Story are always super busy so make sure they are included in your choices!) When it comes to Universal the way that works for us is starting at Islands Of Adventure, getting there about 45/30minutes before the gates open and queuing then going straight to Hogsmeade (yes... we've been known to run) - doing everything there and then working our way back down to the Marvel area before getting the train over to Universal Studios! 2. Buy your tickets I CANNOT tell you enough to buy.your.tickets.before.you.go. With our booking our Disneyworld tickets were included but if you are planning on staying in an apartment/villa/off Disneyworld property then you 100% need to buy your 2 week/1 week tickets before going! This is the same with Universal - buying a 2 week pass here in the UK is SO SO much cheaper than even trying to get a two-day pass once in Orlando! The perfect place to do this is Attraction Tickets Direct - check them out for all your ticket needs and save yourself the money and the stress of paying full price on site! 3. Organise your transfers This is probably an obvious one and a tiny detail but make sure your journey from landing to your new bed for the next week or two is seamless! If you're staying with Disney this is included with Disney's Magical Express which drops you to your hotel from the airport on a fun-filled coach BUT you do have to confirm your place on these - so make sure you have that sorted before you jet off! 4. Invest in handy bags and comfortable shoes Probably my number one piece of advice - the right shoes and bags can make or break your trip! For me trainers are probably my number one go-to footwear for walking round the parks all day! (and luckily they are in fashion right now!) You are on your feet alot so flip-flops, unless super comfy, can be a pain! Aswell as comfort, trainers are a little bit more secure for when you are on big rides at places like Universal... no sandals flying off half way round! Bags are also a big thing for me when I'm away - with posing for photos, grabbing your phone and wanting you hands free at all times a handbag really isn't the one - I like to go for a cute across body bag and my boyfriend usually takes a backpack for us both to pop in extra clothes and snacks! 5. Save, save, save! Yup, it's true you're going to need money - and if you want to have a relaxed vacation, not worrying about each and every purchase, it's always better to save too much than not enough! Obviously seen damn Brexit the exchange rate hasn't been as fantastic as it was but maybe it will improve soon.. who knows! On our last trip my boyfriend and I took $3000 ... yes this might seem like alot but we didn't want to have to think too much about the money we were spending! We work hard so why not? This was $1000 each to buy/do what we wanted and also $1000 for our food, wallmart trips, dinners out etc. I hope this has been some help to some of you - if you enjoy these Orlando/Disneyworld posts do let me know!

Okay, I'm kind of obsessed with the new show Scream Queens. If you haven't heard of it then really.... where have you been? Not only is the cast awesome, the script laugh-out-loud funny and the storyline genius..... the wardrobe and styling is just perfection! I love the pastel shades, the faux fur, the accessories,sassy bling and overall girly girl look that the Chanel's rock. Seriously can I just dress like that everyday please? My jealous rating is through the roof everytime I watch this show - I wish I could style myself like this daily instead of rocking my Primark pyjamas and same old boring jeans! So I thought it would be fun to have a whole post dedicated to the fashion of the show and my own online picks I've found to try and recreate their gorgeous looks! *heart eyes*
Can I live here please?

I don't think there has been a day in the last month that I haven't visited ASOS.com. I honestly think I may have an addiction. The variety it has, the constant new stock.... that god damn sale! I love this website and with it's next day delivery on every order with my ASOS Premier sometimes it's hard not to go ahead and order stuff! I am constantly adding things to my 'saved items' and I'm sure you guys are the same, so I thought I would share today a few things I have added recently..... hurry up payday!!!
Eeeek! It's finally here and I managed to get my mitts on some really cute bits.... although I still want more haha! Here's a little peek at the things I got ...

Now I wasn't going to have a post going up today but for the last 12 hours I've been on my phone staring and admiring the mass of gorgeous gowns, on point outfits, fabulous up-dos and perfected make-up looks from this years SAG(Screen Actors Guild) awards.
So I thought it would be fun to share my favourites - so here we are my top 5 ladies!
Sarah Hyland
The Modern Family actress looked totally and utterly stunning in my opinion! This dress is beautiful, the fit, the back, the embellishment -the list goes on, I wish I could wear something like this! I love her lighter hair - the up-do is perfect to showcase the dress's detailing and the statement earrings and nude lip finish off the look seamlessly. (plus those eyebrows are on point.)
Jennifer Aniston
My love for this woman has grown and grown over the last few months. Yes I've always been a fan but after watching Friends for hours on end recently my love for Jen has been rekindled - and more than ever. This woman is 45 (I think) - seriously though.... 45! She is god damn awesome - I mean look at that cleavage! Her hair is effortlessly perfect and there isn't a hint of a wrinkle anyway!
Emma Stone
It wouldn't be an awards show favourite list without my main girl - Emma Stone! In my eyes she can do no wrong, from head to toe she is perfection. Yes it isn't your usual award show gown but, for me, it just works .... maybe because I love her so much? I'm not sure! But I think she looks fab! The red lip brings the glam and the earrings bring the edge, now.... a round of applause for the Stone once again please everyone!
Sofia Veraga
And the bombshell award goes too................
Like my Mum said to me the other day - this woman has the most incredible body ever. Total Hollywood glitz and glam, with a bit of boob! The red is bold and looks gorgeous, I honestly think she is every man's dream! The make-up is simple and she is literally glowing!
Sophie Turner
Last but not least is this Game Of Thrones beauty! I think it's between Sophie and Sarah for my overall favourite look of the night! I am obsessed with this whole ensemble - the hair, the dress, those shoes - I would wear this on my next night out if I could!
(I also LOVED Maisie Williams' look too - love how she can look so different from her on-screen character!)
