How To Get The Things You Want


There are many things we wish to buy, maybe it's a new sofa to replace the outdated one in the sitting room, a new outfit for an up-and-coming event or an electronic appliance to please the techno-geek in our lives.

Despite our want for such items, it isn't always possible to buy them whenever we desire. This may be due to mortgage repayments, bills or any other outgoing expenses which we have to contend with on a regular basis.

Waiting for our wages to hit our bank balance can sometimes be a long and tedious process; especially if you have your eye on a certain something! Yet, this doesn't have to be the case and there is a way to overcome this common dilemma. Buy now pay later schemes give you the flexibility to invest in an assortment of goods without paying anything up front – perfect for those attempting to walk the difficult tightrope of personal financial management.

Many online department stores allow their loyal customers to set up an account, offering them an array of payment options.

At Isme, any order placed with a total of over £50 will fall into this category. The consumer must enter a promotional code into the system upon checkout; this will then allow them to sit back, worry-free, for the next 12 months.

Those that pay off the full amount before the end of the 12 months will be entitled to an interest-free sale. Such an account will also entitle you to other options, some of which include minimum direct debits on a monthly basis.

With so many options to choose from and an interest free payment scheme, getting your hands on the goods you want now has never been easier.

Any of today’s consumers are entitled to this deal and because of this, they are able to buy into an assortment of much-needed devices, gadgets and personal items.

Because of this and many other benefits, internet shopping has become one of the fastest growing areas of retail. Customers enjoy the ease and variety of shopping online and spend a large amount of time searching the web for various products and deals.

If you haven’t tried out the wonders of internet shopping just yet, make sure you take note of the many advantages available prior to doing so. Not only will it save you time and money but will also open up a whole world of shopping opportunities.

poor little rich girl

Hello lovelies! 


It seems as though my following is slowly but very surely growing.  Thank you all for reading, hopefully this blog is the start of something very exciting, and I hope you all continue to read and enjoy :)


As some of you may know, I am a student of fashion journalism (I studied fashion design for 3 years at college, but had some sort of epiphany and decided my life-long passion for writing was my true calling!)


Art, design and illustration will always be a massive part of my life, despite me choosing what some may call a more 'conventional' path in my education.  Yes, I do love writing, but I dearly hope someday I can be involved in the design industry.


I have decided to share some photographs with you of a recent fashion spread I photographed for a project in university, along with the help of my amazing fashion friends! 


We collectively worked, and styled a photoshoot on the theme 'Money's Too Tight To Mention', and the following images are what we created- rather beautiful even if I say so myself.  We came up with the idea of jazzing up old items of clothing with the occasional on-trend piece, perfect for students and those on a tight budget.

I used some of the money from my 21st birthday to buy a professional camera, the Fujifilm Finepix HS20. I know I will get very good use out of it- next year when I put my own magazine together for a final year project, and now, providing you all with original images for my blog- which I hope you all love.

I convinced my rather gorgeous friend, Amiee, to model for us.  I would totally work the black lipstick look, but I don't think I'd pull it off as well as she does...

ABOVE: dress by New Look, collar by ASOS
We wanted a dark gothic vibe for some of the pictures, and we managed to be granted access to use our local Minster as one of the locations we shot at, which was absolutely brilliant.

Obviously this wasn't shot inside the church! ^

Love the lighting on this photograph.  She looks angelic with the light radiating from behind her!


Let me know what you think of the photos- I'd love to hear your opinions.


Until next time, au revoir x
