Ooh! I love the look of Stila but it costs £££. Will have to pop in!

Brandalley q often has stila products too...

Wow, good haul!

I love TK Maxx too! Infact love it so much last time I went in there I finally scored a gorgeous casserole dish and a wonderful dress

They had loads of Stila in my local TK Maxx too, so probably a good chance of finding it in lots of branches. Mine had big selection pack type things so I don't think you could buy individual items, just the big bag full.

Yesterday I got some very nice skinny jeans by Firetrap (half the RRP) Smile

WillPenn · 28/04/2012 17:21

I love it to. Was on a work trip to Newcastle and manage to contrive a trip to the store there. Got a lovely Clements Ribeiro blouse for £16 instead of £168!!! Unbelievable bargains. Can also manage to persuade hubby to take trips there as he loves to get bargain kitchen equipment.

Atreegrowsinbrooklyn · 28/04/2012 17:23

I love Clements Ribeiro!!!
I love Stila and was so sad when it temporarily was discontinued. Glad to see it back.
I cannot wait for the new TK Maxx.

cocolepew · 28/04/2012 17:26

The Clements Riberio linen blouses are on the T K Maxx website, (well they were yesterday)

CiderwithBuda · 28/04/2012 17:29

I love TK Maxx too. And the home wear bit - Home Sense. Will have to pop in to mine this week. Was only in there yesterday.

Got a handbag RRP £110 for £39.99.
Gorgeous outfit for my niece.
Nice black suede ballet pumps.
A nice green storage tray thingie.

I only went in for an umbrella!

Thanks Coco. My cup of sartorial designer style runneth over.

Atreegrowsinbrooklyn · 28/04/2012 17:41

OMG they have Oliver Theysken's 'Theory' brand too. Thankyou Coco. I love Theory.

I love TK Maxx too but find it is like Ikea - you go in ostensibly for a quick look and then lose 2 hours of your life before you even get to the changing rooms!

Current bargains include a gorgeous pale grey blouse with bracelet length sleeves and vintage birdcage print - made by Aphorism (? not heard of before) and a TFNC red floral print wrap dress perfect for throwing on with strappy leather flats in the summer.

anniewoo · 29/04/2012 10:21

TKMaxx like a jumble sale to me. I never see anything i want to buy there. I think you either love it ir hate it.

Methe · 29/04/2012 10:26

Last time I went to tkmax I got an elle tahari dress for £25 but thats the only goof thing i've ever found.

Mombojombo · 29/04/2012 10:29

I think it's because I go in so regularly (particularly weeks like this when the weather's bad) on buggy walks, I can bypass all the shoddy stuff and pick out good stuff pretty quickly.

There must be some kind of underground grapevine going on too. One time my local had lots of pairs of knee-high grey Doc Marten boots and a couple blasted in and bought every pair. I guess to sell on on eBay or something. Also seen someone searching out all the All Saints stuff. Maybe I should do the same!

I love TK Maxx, ours is really well maintained and there is constantly a sale on.

Fluffycloudland77 · 29/04/2012 10:40

DH bought me a lovely All Saints jacket in there, £110 down to £17.

ShotgunNotDoingThePans · 29/04/2012 13:21

Ours is a bit crap - but I only go in once in a blue
moon so maybe that's why. I was quite impressed by the sunglasses last time I was in though.

warmandwooly · 29/04/2012 18:16

Ooh yes the Clements Riberio stuff that you speak is the same range sold in John Lewis!

warmandwooly · 29/04/2012 18:22

I think it's called Portobello
