Boden Clearance

A quick post to let you know (in case you missed it!) that Boden have an additional 10% off their clearance prices.  Do be quick as items go fast.  I had a voucher so I've just ordered this cashmere jumper.  I have always loved their cashmere and the fact that it washes so well in the machine also helps.  Along with Marks & Spencer I think they are the best on the high street for quality and value for this luxury wool. 

Boden Cashmere Jumper £62.37

There are other colours available at a variety of prices and a few with stripes.  This one below is even cheaper at £46.44.  I went for the above as I have enough print at the moment and wanted something more neutral.  I have a cream cashmere jumper that is well worn so feel this will be an update of that.

If you're looking for something a little more casual they are doing this baseball style cashmere jumper, reduced to £62.55.  Again, for me, it was not the style I needed in my wardrobe but would be very easy to wear with jeans.

I was a little too slow for this merino jumper in my size which is now £32.04.  The plum and green version is even better still at £24.03.  As I type I'm wondering why I didn't just go for this colour and get the next size up for a more relaxed fit.  At that price, it really is a bargain for merino wool.

Posts may be even more sparse in the next few weeks due to moving house and waiting for the internet - not quite sure how I will cope without it.....wish me luck!

Costco + Cashmere = Result!

I haven't done a lot of Supermarket clothes shopping recently, mainly because time has got the better of me and I have gone back to doing it online.  But just before Christmas I did a Costco run and managed to grab this little beauty.  It is navy with baby blue and tones of purple through it and has been worn so much.  It was the display one as they had run out of this colour so I got it for around £18 but they were £25 full price which is so cheap for 100% cashmere.  Oh and it's a good thick chasmere too!  Just a little tip off, don't forget the supermarkets!

The M&S Sale - Be Quick!

I am supposed to be wrapping teacher's and anniversary presents not to mention packing for a few days away but I couldn't not share with you some amazing finds online at M&S.  Here is what I've bought.

Pure silk skirt for my eldest daughter (adjustable waist band as well).  £6.99 from £32.  Buy it here.

Mens suede belt, £25 down to £5.99.  This is for me!  I ordered the baby pink as well but it was marked so I returned that one but I love this coral colour more.  It is the perfect width, not too skinny or fat, result!  See it here.

Excuse the creased shorts, it was the end of a long day!

In keeping with the coral theme, this 100% cotton jumper was £35 down to £12.99 from their Limited collection.  It is fairly chunky so not for now but will be perfect when it starts cooling down.  Find it here.  (Size 18 left only at time of publishing this post!).

Another 100% cotton item, this Conran duvet set, £89 down to £28.99 (with pillow covers).  I was looking for something with more grey in it but still some white and the taupe stripe also breaks it up.  Yet to christen it but I don't doubt it's quality or style.  Find it here.

I always do bulk orders for M&S.  It's so easy to collect in store the next day and return to them too and I would rather do that and not miss out on sizes.  There were however some items that didn't make the  cut (bank was pleased, I was not so, especially on the cashmere front).  

Pure cashmere t-shirt £69 down to £24.99.  It just came up too large and boxy on me, but I adore this so urge someone to try it as I will be happy that I've at least given the amazing purchase to someone else!  Sizes 10-18's left, find it here.  I also ordered an apple green one for my Mum but her's didn't fit either (and is now completely out of stock).  

These Italian made shoes (from the Made In Italy range) were £175 and finally went down to £26.39 but all out of stock.  They just didn't work on my feet but boy were they amazing.  Boxed with dust bags, the whole shoe was leather and so well made.  See here (just teasing you now, I'm sorry).

Now these weren't in the sale but at £19.50 for a leather slider I thought they were a bargain.  Better still, today they have 20% off so are £15.60.  I so wanted these to work as I have a black sandal style hole in my wardrobe but they came up deep.  Fully recommend though, another well made pair of shoes M&S.  Find them here. 

Moral of the story, hunt down those bargains when M&S go to 70% off!  I put in keywords such as silk, cashmere, leather to find items I love.  Happy shopping!
