Hello! My name is Jasmine.
I’m a bargain hunter, clothes lover, wife and mama; and professional window shopper*. *ok, this is not a real profession! yet…
Pretty Chuffed is the place I share the bargains I come across every day. It’s a blog that aims to share the fun, the fashionable and the affordable, because I firmly believe you don’t need to spend a lot of money to look and feel great. I’ll also share what I’m wearing most days in outfit posts, hopefully providing you with inspiration to get the most out of your wardrobe. Finding the newest and best trends on a budget is my forte, however I’m also a big fan of thrifting and shopping your wardrobe, and the odd DIY too.
In 2013 my husband and I had our first daughter Hannah and being a mum has brought a new dimension to shopping and clothes – looking good on a budget is a necessity! Although I am a mum, I don’t want to look mumsy or frumpy. Looking young, fun, yet dressing practically is the key. If you’re in the same boat, listen in as I endeavour to bring the best non-mumsy yet still practical fashion finds too.
And if you’re wondering – the name Pretty Chuffed came to me when I explaining some bargains to a friend. She said something like “Wow that’s awesome” and I said “Yes I was pretty chuffed about it”. I hope you enjoy Pretty Chuffed – it’s certainly fun for me.

11 random facts about me:
1. I found it quite difficult to choose what I wanted to be ‘when I grew up’ and was deciding between studying science, fine arts and business. I ended up with a degree in Marketing and PR (Communications).
2. I am addicted to coffee and have to have at least two per day.
3. I met my husband at a bar two months before I turned 19, and we’ve barely been apart since. #lovers 🙂
4. I grew up in a small town on the Sunshine Coast. The closest clothing store was 30 minutes’ drive and thus for my birthday every year I asked to “please go shopping”.
5. Vietnamese and Thai are my favourite food styles, and I could happily eat dishes from these cuisines every single day. I need to have a good green curry chicken at least once a week.
6. I know most of the words to Salt n Pepa’s Shoop and I Like Big Butts by Sir Mix A Lot.
7. I may or may not have performed both of the aforementioned songs at Karaoke bars. Gin was involved.
8. I was never a ‘clucky’ girl, however having children has been the best and hardest yet absolutely most rewarding thing I’ve ever done.
9. I love having a fringe, however in summer I curse the day I had it cut. I’m currently fringe-less, and still consider cutting it in daily.
10. My best ever bargains were a Burberry trench coat and a Camilla and Marc jacket, both thrifted.
11. I’m a bit of a dork and love dad jokes and memes. I do. I really do.
