Site Update!

Hello my lovely little Bloggers!

I just wanted to apologise for my lack of post recently, I am very ashamed of myself :( but with all of my uni deadlines being this week its been completely mad!

But luckily all assignments are now handed in, including a report that goes along with this blog so lets hope I get a good grade! :)

Well by now I bet you have all been deep in Christmas shopping!

Have any of you visited any of the sites I've mentioned?!

I certainly have :) In fact I have my Christmas outfit all ready from the lovely 'm-butterfly' store, and I absolutely love it, got loads of goodies for friends in their accessories section for prezzies too - check out it!

I really want to get the blog in full swing, so in the next coming weeks im going to look at posting some pictures and reviews of pieces that I have purchased from some websites so you guys can see the products for yourself :)

I've got too much clothes so hopefully you guys may see something you like, and i can fill you in on where to get them etc!

Take care for my lovelies!

SALES SALES SALES!!!

Now if you guys are anything like me at this time of year, the Christmas budget is looking pretty slim :( 

Not only its allllllllllllllll these Christmas presents on the 'must buy' list, but there is also the important factor of the Christmas outfit!!!! 

With all the Christmas parties coming around and Christmas itself, how can we afford it all?! 

Argghhhhhh!!!

Well folks there is no need to panic! I have found a solution to the problem and scanned the net to find the BEST festive sales I could find so you dont need to stress anymore!

Now not also are these sales great for a Christmas outfit, but i have also bought a few bits and bobs to give as gifts, so it may be worth while having a browse for the benefit of pressies! :)

Enjoy :) :)

'Bay' Closing Down Sale :(

Hello guys!

I was just away to bed to bed when i came across a massive 'Bay' sale and knew that i had to tell all you bargin hunters before i sign off!

Do you guys remember 'Bay Trading' that then turned to 'Bay' and was then found in consession stands in 'Mackays'?!

Well sadly the 'Bay' company is closing down, but the good thing to come of this is SALE SALE SALE!!!

My sister once worked for the company so i know that the products are pretty good, and have a few of the products myself :)

Now unfortunatly the sale has been going on for a while now so most stock is limited, but the prices have now been slashed again, and with all stock must go (jewellery included) the most expensive thing on the site is £10!!!!

So if you are hunting for some bargins as Christmas is coming in fast, or still cant find that christmas gift for your friend, then i suggest having a browse......quickly!!!!

Enjoy guys!!!! :) :)

'Asos' Fashion

Being the fashionistas that we are (lol!) im sure we have all heard of a little site called ASOS!

And if you haven't.....where have you been?!

To put it in perspective, ASOS is like the mother hen of all internet shopping sites!

it contains endlessssss pages of trend after trend, ranging from as little as £5 straight up to the £100's.

Asos is unlike other online stores as it dominates most of the online shopping traffic and could easily open a highstreet chain of store in a second.

If you want trendy and fashionable then this is where you need to be browsing.

Its sassy, sophisticated, professional, fashionable, highstreet but also designer, and unique.

Now if we dont already love this site enough......it gets better!

Being a bit short myself when it comes to finding the right clothes to fit petite, curvy and even maternity sizes can be sich a hassle to find (which im sure most of you would agree). Shopping is meant to be a happy time but when we have to make do with the standard fits there always has to be alterations which can cost time and money - not what you want to have circulating in your head when you are meant to be shopping! I dont want to crack out the 'Wonda Web' and take my jeans up an inch after paying money for them.....and why should we have to?!

(Wow just notcied i ranted on a bit there didn't i?! Whoops!)

Anyway petite-ist, curve-ist, and ehh...maternity-ist?! haha

Our online saviour is here!

Because online shopping has the down side of not being able to 'try before you buy' when you are specific about sizing, ASOS has come to the rescue and made 3 seperate sections for petite sizes, curvy sizes and also maternity.

Hallelujah! :)

Asos i love you! <3

'Truffle Shuffle' Clothing

Now here is a website you'd be mad not to love!

Although unlike the other sites it doesn't sell any formal clothing, with these one off collectable pieces you'll stand out a mile!

From Wonder Woman to Coca Cola then to Star Wars and all the way back to Poddington Peas!

You are bound to browse the site and take a trip down memory lane :)

Vintage at its best is the only description that i could use to describe the site - as you can tell i just LOVE it!

Now i know with christmas coming up the stress levels are starting to rise, but fear not with truffleshuffle.co.uk they have a seperate section for gift ideas! Where you are surely going to find the perfect gift for males, females and kids. No more last minute bubble bath sets needed ;)

Great Site

Great Products

Great Service

Just great overall in my opinion!

Now enough reading.....get shopping!!!

And because im good to you lot, im going to post the videos links so that all you need to do is click on the site names on the page to glance at the ranges from each site

Enjoy folks :)

Boohoo.com Range

Rarefashion.co.uk Range

More coming sooon :)

'Rare' Fashion

Now here is another one of my favourite fashion sites!

If i was to sum up the products on this site it would be cute, classic, and fun :)

I just love the floral patterns and unique mordern pieces which make these clothes stand out above the rest.

You may have heard of Rare fashion as it is avaliable in stores such as Topshop, and Bank but the whole range is exclusively (and cheaper....ly!) avaliable through their website.

Like the other sites there is also lots of extra bonus from visiting the page, including web exclusives, blog, features and also an amazing sale section!!

One of the new parts of the sitewhich i think its great is the 'Featured' section.

This section looks at the street fashion from 'Liverpool Fashion Week' and matches up the lastest trend with the products on the site! (Saves us tearing our hair out hunting around for them!) This section is going to be updates regularly so keep your eyes pealed, its a great part to browse!

NEWS JUST IN!!

Today (27th Oct 2010) a new range has been added to the site!!

The Paprika Range!

Having just be released this second i have only just browsed the new stuff and i must say i am very impressed!! Great new styles and GREAT prices! i feel my credit card will be getting a bit of a bashing later on!

Join me in the first glance!

'Missguided' Fashion

'Missguided' fashion is another site that has been gaining lots of popularity recently which has also resulted in a website re-vamp! Giving it a new design which is much easier to use and browse.

If high fashion and up-to date trends are what you look for then this site could be just up your street. Missguided is a site which prides itself on being one of the first to bring you the high street priced cat walk styles. To good to believe?! Here is a wee teaser for you ;)

Lucky for us students the NUS extra discount is accepted on the site which also saves even more pennies when ordering :)

The postage is also great if you are ordering from overseas as postage is avaliable to the US and all of Europe so no one is left deprived!

Pssst!: Also note that if you are ordering anywhere other than the UK there is a currency convertor in the top right hand corner so you dont have to convert the prices yourself!

I'll race you to the site!!!

Feedback

Do you know of a site that i haven't mentioned?!

Have you had a bad experience with a online shop and wish to tell?!

What do you think of the sites i've mentioned?!

Feel free to tell me!!

I'd love to hear all your stories and opinions! :)

'Boohoo' Clothing

boohoo.com is a bargin clothing website which is only now begining to gain rightful popularity which has resulted in a revamp of the website!

If you are looking for lastest fashions at great prices then look no further than here!

Out of all the sites mentioned on the blog boohoo.com is (in my opinion) the cheapest site!

Dont let the pricing fool you into thinking that the quality is down graded as in my experience the clothing is no less quality than anywhere else.

boohoo.com offers womens clothing, footware, accessories and a kids range from 9-14 year olds.

The site also includes a 'Get the Look' section where you can see different sytles put together by the designers to see just how you can wear and 'dress up' the sites products. There is also an online boohoo magazine for you to browse even more trends!! They do spoil you!

boohoo offers a great discounted section where you can get upto 50% off certain items.

A new section of the site is 'boohoo Pink' which is a new clothing range exclusively to the site for premuim one off pieces. These pieces are a tad more expensive than most of the other items, but well worth a browse for that special one off piece!

If this sounds like your kind of site then shop away!

'mButterfly' Boutique



mButterfly Boutiques are not only online but have several stores around the UK.

However as mButterfly is not a mainstream store you may find - as i did- that it seems to go unnoticed when you are shopping, as most of the high street is dominated by such stores as NewLook, TopShop, H&M etc.

The added benifit of having this store online is that you get to see its products in all its rightful glory! Its not very often you can come across such a store with such unique and one off pieces at such great value. Not only that, but as an online store is avaliable you can browse the brands whole catalouge instead of just a few signiture pieces.

The site itself is not perhaps the most 'high tech' as the other sites but it does everything you would want it to for browsing and buying.

Another great advantage to the online store is that nearly 75% of the stock is at a reduced price, and that isn't even in the sale section!

Delivery is free if your shopping basket is over £60 and £3.95 to anywhere in the UK if under that amount.

This site is certainly a gem, go see for yourself! :) http://www.m-butterfly.co.uk/

 

News Just in!!

The m-Butterfly store On Princes Street in Edinburgh is closing down! :(

But there is a silver lining! All stock must go so there is currently a massive sale, get yourself down there for a few bargins



'Desire' Clothing

Desire clothing is a clothing store which is exclusivly only avaliable online.

Desire clothing has everything you would want from an online clothing store, as not only does it have a great range of affordable clothing but it also supplies shoes, assessories AND beauty products! This way you can get all you would need by just visiting the one website.

The site is easily navagated around and has main links to 'New Arrivals' and also a slide show of the 'Most Desired' items.

Posting and Packaging ranges from £3.95 - £5.95 if you live in the UK and prices do not incease if you order more than one item

Psssst!:

A good point to be aware of is that the Sale section is updates very regularly! So if you see a great outfit that perhaps is not within your budget, just wait a week or so and chances are good that you'll find it in the Sale section! And even if you have a look at the sale section you'll notice that there are great products for really great prices, including shoes! Not only that, with the sale section having 75 pages you are sure to find something to suit you at a bargin price! :)
