Something for the Weekend - the online sales edit - Part One

Whether you want to shop the seasons trends, need an outfit for a summer wedding, buy now and wear later, get some last minute holiday essentials or even indulge in some serious investment dressing, now is the time you can spend your hard earned cash and fulfil any shopaholic tendencies with my  hot picks from the High Street and High End online retailers.  I've got for the best bargains with nothing in this post with less than a 50% reduction, I get so annoyed by £20 off a £90 item!

  1. I love the Karen Millen shirt dress. I would never pay full price at Karen Millen (well not anymore!) but that is not a bad price and it is definitely a classic pieces.

  4. Well I've ordered the flat gold sandals (because I honestly was looking for a pair before I read your post and hadn't seen anything I like or felt comfortable) and a pair of nude mid-low heels from Kurt Geiger and I've ordered the shift dress you listed and another shift dress to compare from Karen Millen (the other one wasn't as much of a bargain but I think the arms will look better on me as they are not so big and the dress is overall a bit more skimpy) http://www.karenmillen.com/Utility-shirtdress/Sale-Dresses/karenmillen/fcp-product/903000055932

    Yummy!

    Oh, and not to mention the little shop I made at LK Bennett sale earlier on this week but I did STOP and RESIST at net a porter because the dress I really love is still £500+ even in the sale ;)
