SALES • Black Friday & Cyber Monday

Hi everyone!

Today is Black Friday - the day following Thanksgiving Day in America - when stores offer huge discounts and people generally start their Christmas shopping. Black Friday is mostly celebrated in the US, but stores from all around the world, especially online stores, are also getting into this "tradition". I have therefore decided to dedicate a whole post to my favourite online stores which are also offering some pretty amazing Black Friday/Cyber Monday (the Monday after Thanksgiving) deals. And I may have also included some other stores that have other ongoing sales, as a bit of sale shopping never killed anyone, right? I think this list will come in handy especially to those who need to start, or continue, their Christmas shopping, and equally handy to all the other shopaholics, like myself :)

Save Money While Shopping!

Hi everyone!

I always try to save money while shopping, be it by using discount codes, waiting for the sales, or opting for a dupe when the designer piece is way out of my budget! After wasting the majority of my day doing something else rather than working on my never ending to-do list, I always turn to the FashionPerks website before shopping so as to not waste even more time browsing the Internet for discount codes. 

FashionPerks.co.uk was set up by a group of fashion lovers who believed that shopping for clothes, accessories and footwear online shouldn’t be expensive and should reward loyal shoppers. That’s when we came up with the idea for a site that rewarded users with discount codes to use when shopping at their favourite stores online.

The concept is amazing, right? The website contains 6 shopping categories, namely shoes, men's, women's, jewellery, accessories and beauty, so you can definitely save money on anything related to fashion. Some of my favourite retailers found on this website include ASOS, Urban Outfitters, Missguided, Miss Selfridge, Boux Avenue, River Island, and much much more. The list is endless, really! Thanks to FashionPerks, I am also able to discover new brands which I have never come across before. So everything is a plus about this website!

Make sure you check out the FashionPerks website here, and also follow them on Twitter and Facebook to keep up with all their latest discount codes and offers. It always feels super good when you save money! :)

ROMWE Easter Deal

Hi everyone!

Just a quick post to let you all know about Romwe's Easter Day Deal. All orders placed between yesterday and tomorrow (29th of March) will receive a free gift:

Orders over $40 (£26/€31) will get this galaxy print bowtie for FREE (RRP $9.90)

Orders over $70 (£46/€54) will get this galaxy print collar for FREE (RRP $14.99)

Orders over $100 (£66/€78) will get this galaxy print bag for FREE (RRP $21.99)

How great is that? I have created a collage with my current favourite items from Romwe. Believe it or not, I still don't own a black leather jacket as I never found one that I really like. This leather jacket from Romwe is perfect though, and is quite reasonably priced too. Score! Another piece I am currently loving from Romwe is this Snow White tee. The character faces have been replaced with cat faces, so being the cat lover that I am, I instantly fell in love with it once I saw it. And how gorgeous is this black cat eye sunglasses? Since Spring is finally here, sunglasses use is a must for me - both because of the sun, and also because I can further accessorise my outfits by wearing sunglasses. The last item that I'm currently loving is this Eagle Boy crop top, clearly inspired by Boy London. Even though they have been all over the blogosphere, I still want my fair share of 'eagle' tees.  

1 // 2 // 3 // 4

And how awesome are these leggings?

Don't forget that Romwe offer FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING with no minimum purchase required! 

Happy Shopping :)

Shopping in London on a Budget • e-book Review

Hi everyone!

I was given the opportunity to review an e-book titled Shopping in London on a Budget by Jocelina Paixão Fortes, released last June. I immediately accepted the offer since through this book, the author shows that it is possible to find budget shops in one of the most popular and expensive cities in Europe. 

Do you travel to London frequently for shopping? Are you travelling to London soon? Maybe going to London for Christmas shopping or for Christmas sales? Do you love to shop at the best budget shops of London? If you nodded to these questions, then this e-book is definitely for you.

The content section of this book is divided in three, namely Oxford Street, Camden Town, and Covent Garden, which happen to be the most famous shopping spots in London. Under each heading, one can find a list of clothing, shoes, health & beauty, vintage, souvenir, and book shops, among others, where you can shop on a budget. The must-visit shops listed in this book include Primark, Forever 21, Topshop, Cool Brittania, and Boots, among others. What I love about this section is the fact that each shop name is clickable, so one can be taken to the shop of interest directly, and not spend ages scrolling to try and find each shop.  

The design of the book is simple, with a very neat format of text and a generous amount of photos. Each shop section starts with a photo of the particular shop, and then a section dedicated to important information, namely the shop address (including a clickable map link to guide you on the exact shop location) and opening times, price indication, payment options, sales periods (for an even more budget experience), and the shop's website. The following pages contain a small paragraph of information on the shop from the author's eyes, and photos of what one can expect to find in each respective shop, including actual photos of items that were available for purchase at the time when the author was writing this book. The below photos give you an example of Forever 21's shop section in this book.

At the end of the shop guide section, the author included her wishlist on Instagram (which I think is amazing and quite original), and some pictures of London, a shopping route, and a very useful guide on where to stay in London for a budget friendly price, and the best travel deals to get to London.

This e-book is only $9.95 $1.00 (approximately €0.78 / £0.63) during the month of November, so it is an absolute bargain. Being an e-book,  it can be easily viewed on a personal computer, e-reader, and even on an iPad, so it is perfect to use it as a guide while actually shopping.

Click here to view more details and to get a copy of the e-book. You can pay via Credit Card or PayPal.

The author wrote another e-book on Shopping in Rotterdam on a Budget, and plans on releasing e-books on budget shopping for the following cities too: Amsterdam, Antwerp, Paris, Copenhagen, Rome, Milan, Madrid, Barcelona, Lisbon, Porto, Stockholm, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Istanbul and Dublin. So check out Jocelina's Lifestyle blog here to be the first to know when the new e-books are released.
