What has been your absolute best buy of the year so far?

[freddiefrog]

I'm on a spending ban so want to live vicariously through other people's purchases

Mine is a pair a pair of Primark tan ankle boots

I've been on the hunt for a pair since autumn, but never really found 'The Ones'. Nipped into Primark last Sunday, and there on the shelf was the perfect pair. Only one pair left, and amazingly my size! For three quid

It was fate

[hettie]

Thanks!

[Speedos]

hettie they are amazing. My legs look lean and smooth with them on alone for the gym and you can't notice them under trousers as they are really thin material, thinner and lighter than any other gym capris I have. Wore them today for spinning class and I thought legs would be wobbling but they didn't.

I have only worn them about a week but managed to wear all day as you hardly notice they're there, not sure if they would be hot in summer though.

I just do not understand how they can work but I'm sure my cellulite is not as bad, it is still there though....

I am a 10 but lookfantastic.com had only the size 12 on offer, £30 instead of £45 for the capris. I have also just ordered a 10 in the longer version as I gym everyday and they need to get washed!

The only negative is the cost as they are bloody expensive and the offer above is the only one I found anywhere.

Mine is Babylis Hot Rollers.

They make my hair do exactly what I always wanted it to.

Just need to find a way to make my hair hold the style for more than a few hours

Speedos.... Have been pondering proskins for a while, what do they look like on? Could you wear them for Gymn and under dresses? Also do you have to wear them all the time for them to work?

My two new Brora jumpers. They are cozy and go with so many things in my wardrobe.

Thank you jumpher, I think I might order it as I have just sent back a dress, trousers and cardigan to baukjen so my credit card will be happier !

[DerbyNottsLeicsNightNanny]

Boden empire line top in Navy. I am wearing it as a maternity top and reckon it will see me through until at least 6-7 months and no doubt will be wearing it for months after baby arrives too, love it! (but wouldnt like it if I wasnt pregnant as it definitely has a maternity-look to it!).

[BikeRunSki]

Some Next indigo "sexy straight leg" jeans, £3 from a charity shop. They fit perfectly and have given me confidence to step away from the bootlegs (have recently lost 2 dress sizes and can not get used to wearing anything skinny, fitted or a 12).

[MorrisZapp]

Awesome, thanks :)

[impty]

Ooooh just to add, I happened to be in Milan last weekend (I know, I know) and I found a MiuMiu skirt for a friend (It was a pink A-line circle skirt, NOT for me) which was marked down from 1200 Euros to 100 Euros!!

[Absy]

A pair of apple green heels (summer shoes!) that are awesome.

But as a result I have no money to buy more clothes etc. this month.

[MorrisZapp]

QuinnFabray, I'm going to be in London soon! Where can I avail myself of Monki jeans?

[OneLittleLady]

[rockinhippy]

Full length cream, furry lined suede coat - spotted being put on a manikin in a charity shop window - new with tags - my size exactly - £35 - label is Top Shop for £185 - its warm, its elegant, it sponges down well with baby wipes - the lady in the shop said they were pricing it low as they thought the colour would put people off :)

[nowrinklesonamelon]

A gorgeous soft pale blue leather jacket from la redoute with a huge offer discount, worked out only about £50.. here

[JumpHerWho]

[amyjayde]

My engagement ring didnt buy it myself mind you but I love it!!!

[littlepeas]

Very boring, but indigo legging jeans from Gap. Have really struggled with jeans since having dc (3 sections, so stomach truly effed) and these are perfect!

[WillPenn]

The Versace Collection navy blue pencil skirt I am wearing today. £40 instead of £270 from TK Maxx website and it is a PERFECT fit.

[baskingseals]

long cashmere mix grey marl cardigan from French Connection from a second hand rose shop. about £15.

most of my stuff is charity/second hand, and i have got much better at buying decent stuff - i now mostly look for wool or cahsmere, but find it much much easier to find tops or jackets than jeans or skirts.
