Take a look at my favourite sale bargains below (I was going to take my own pictures but I'm feeling rather lazy and that will form part of my new years resolution).
Marc Jacobs Bianca Hayley
This is my second Marc Jacobs bag and one of the reasons I love these bags are because they are extremely hard wearing, have the softest leather and come in a variety of colours which seem to go with everything (I steer away from black at all times). I was looking for a practical, good sized leather day bag which I could wear on my shoulders, would look good and have plenty of room for the essentials and more - I absolutely love the berry shade too.
Take a closer look:
Zara Brogue Stretch Boots
If like me you're particular about boots and have a nightmare finding ones which fit, look good and are comfortable it's like hitting the jackpot when you find a perfect pair. I have never bought shoes from Zara but it is a store which I visit regularly and can always count on for clean European tailoring, tasteful prints, comfy knitwear and great fitting dresses. Fortunately during the sales my local store had all the shoes in one area (normally they are scattered around the store under shelves and racks of clothing). I was looking for flat tan coloured, smart riding boots which would fit well and could be worn with either jeans or dresses.
These boots were perfect and the brogue design gives them a feminine vintage feel, they have elasticated sides rather then a zip fastening so they fit well without creases, the leather is not as soft as boots I have purchased from Bertie or Carvela but they feel sturdy and hard wearing and are a fraction of the cost too.
Warehouse Oriental Jade Necklace
Right so this would be my impulse buy just cause I love Warehouse jewellery and I do also think it is far too overpriced. This necklace contains jade beading and having visited the jade market in Hong Kong I realise how valuable and spiritual the stone is but it's not a colour I would wear often which is why this necklace is perfect. The jade beading is used with black faux crystals and delicate gold clasps, the necklace is also long enough to wear over dresses, shirts and tops. Although the pictures don't show this, the necklace is sparkly when it catches the light so is perfect for the evening as well as the day.
Look forward to hearing about your sale bargains.
As it is New Years Eve today I would like to thank all of you for reading my blog, although I haven't been able to post as regularly as I would like I do love writing my posts and look forward to a fun filled 2012 - it's going to be a great year.
