Kate Moss for Topshop on Sale

We'd had a long, long wait for this collection, so who'd blame you if you went into a shopaholic frenzy when Kate Moss's latest range for Topshop finally launched? I certainly wouldn't - but please don't cry when I tell you many of the styles are now in the sale. Prices now start from as little as £20 for a paisley chiffon scarf or cute cami top. And what's more, alongside those best-selling boho kaftans and sparkly jackets is this sherbet lemon chiffon dress modelled on a vintage style worn by Ms Moss on a night out in New York back in 2003. With more than 50% off I make that more money to spend on champagne!

Shopaholic Sale Buy: Topshop Top

Many of the Summer sales are already on and just begging to be shopped. Last week I made my first port of call was Topshop, after my sister had beaten me to it and been showing off all the bargains she'd bagged on the very first day of the sale. I may have been unusually slow off the mark, but I still managed to get my hands on this top - even if it meant I had to push and shove with the best of them on a busy Saturday afternoon.

This checked top looks great with jeans, but the silky material makes it smart enough to dress up with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt for work. So there you have it - versatility that will bring the cost per wear down to mere pennies!

Bank Holiday Bargains at Warehouse Sale

A big night out inevitably calls for a last minute shopping trip - but panic buys are not usually my forte, so thank goodness for Warehouse is all I'll say. They've always got a great selection of dresses in stock - whether you're looking for something smart, sexy or sophisticated (or a bit of all 3 for that matter).

I found this ombre stencil print dress with zip front skirt and pockets (you've just got to love a dress with pockets) in the sale reduced from £48 - £25. Outfit sorted, panic over! Now to enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend...

Floral Fancy

OK, so it'll very soon be July - but whatever happened to so called 'flaming' June?! By now I thought I'd be shopping for pretty floral dresses in the summer sales - like this one from Dorothy Perkins (pictured left, WAS £25 NOW £20) - but I've actually just bought yet another woolly jumper.

This lovely - although very autumnal looking - cross stitch effect floral jumper from Zara (pictured below, WAS £35 NOW £19.99) will most likely turn out to be a better investment. What with Glastonbury taking place this weekend rain is pretty much guaranteed!

A Handbag for £1!

I love nothing more than finding a bargain, and can never keep news of a great deal to myself. On a recent shopping trip down Oxford Street I stumbled across this small black messenger bag in H&M reduced from £14 to just £1. Who would turn down a handbag for £1?! How do I do it?

Psst...Have you Heard the SalesGossip?

Know when shops go on sale before anyone else!


We all know that finding a sale can be an art in itself. The lucky few continually flaunt their fabulous findings (all at 70% off), whilst the vast majority resort to trawling through the dregs the sale rail has left to offer, having missed out on who knows what treasures!

Back in October I let you in on the secret to successful sales shopping - SalesGossip. Their research showed that 70% of people only found out about a sale if they happened to be walking past the store. 44% heard of reductions from friends and colleagues. SalesGossip set out to significantly increase your odds of bagging a bargain.

Now the favourite website of every fashionista on a budget has had a makeover, and it's better than ever!

The beauty of SalesGossip is that you never have to miss out on a sale again. High street favourites to high-end designers, flash sales to exclusive sample sales - the girls at SalesGossip know about them all. The new and improved website is updated daily and allows you to search for sales by area (London based), brand and product type. There are handy maps as well as links to the online stores, plus a blog offering insight to London's hottest shopping destinations and events. With start and end dates of the sales clearly displayed it couldn't be easier to plan your next shopping spree.

Make sure you sign-up to receive FREE customised SMS and e-mail updates and you'll always be first in line for reductions at your favourite stores. For those of you always on the go you can also access the mobile site via your smart phone. There really is no excuse to miss out!

Because we all Love a Good SalesGossip...

I admit it - I am one of those annoying people who always gets to the sale first and grabs all the good stuff. If I needed further confirmation, just the other day I overheard a woman turn to her friend and mutter a few choice words about how annoyed she was that I had found a gem amongst the rubbish that wouldn't sell even with a 70% reduction. But I'm a nice person really - so I'm going to let you into a secret so you never miss out on a bargain again...

SalesGossip is a new website that tracks all of the sales going on in the capital. All you have to do is sign yourself up to receive FREE e-mail or text alerts. Although the service is primarily focused on London, many of the stores listed are national chains - so don't let that put you off. Plus, a link to the online store is usually provided. All sales are displayed on a handy timeline - so you can see when they are due to start and finish before you plan your next shopping trip. It's a genius idea. Make sure you sign up now so you catch all those mid-season sales that are popping up all over the place at the moment.

Urban Outfitters

Urban Outfitters has long been the place to go for quirky fashion on the High Street, but I have only recently discovered what great bargains are available on their website. In the sale section many items are only £9.99! My picks include an oversized floral tunic (was £32, now £9.99), a Silence+Noise drop waist dress (was £35, now £14.99), and a leopard print blouse with lace inserts by Free People (was £45, now £9.99) - what's more, they're only a few clicks away.
