Can anyone share their bargains? Its not even about cost so much, as just an array of nice stylish items. Loved the flat shoes thread! Im looking especially for colourful or interesting flats. Maybe some jewelry. Any nice tops for coming into the spring. Great woolly jumpers and the like.

Well, it’s not on your list but inspired to look for a new one after reading the Longchamp le pliage thread I got this: www.longchamp.com/gb/en/products/top-handle-bag-m-L1515412H05.html
I love it but the lady in the shop said people were put off by the yellow hence the price. The yellow had me sold Grin

I’ve gone from being very uninspired in the sales to ordering quite a bit, although my first parcel to arrive (Baukjen) has already been sent back as nothing was quite right, so I’m being very picky about what I keep.

Hush:
Jumper dress
Red jumper
Black skirt (I have to confess that I already own this skirt but have worn it at least weekly for the past 3 years so knew I’d regret not buying a second one when I saw it reduced)

Outnet
Grey cardigan

Zadig et Voltaire
Black trainers
Khaki jumper

Not very inspired by this year's sales so watching with interest.
Ordered some from bombshell but its all going back!

IvorCutler · 01/01/2022 11:15

This has been my best purchase. Trying to stop myself now.

@IvorCutler that’s lovely, such a good colour.

IvorCutler · 01/01/2022 12:28

Thanks @BangingOn, I really like the colour too.

Iamthewombat · 01/01/2022 13:06

Many thanks, BangingOn and IvorCutler, for (respectively) reminding me to look at the Zadig and Voltaire website and for alerting me to Zara’s Charlotte Gainsbourg collection. Many, many ideas for lovely new stuff!

I was always suspicious of Hush quality - and I did find a few loose threads - but I hope this does last because I'm struggling to ever take it off. Sooo soft.

Definitely size down unless you like very oversized.

BangingOn · 01/01/2022 17:37

@grownup2 that looks so cosy. I hope it wears well, I find that Hush clothes either last forever or look terrible within a few washes.

Sunnycats · 01/01/2022 20:33

@grownup2 I bought one in grey and it's on its third year of wear going strong! I love it and wear it all the time still, it washes really well, you wont regret it! I even chuck mine in the tumble dryer!

Just ordered these - I tried them on in a local department store in black but they didn’t have my size in tan - they were a good fit on my chunky calves

Where do you wear your onsie? Is it strictly homewear or can you get away with it with a leather jacket etc.

Sales this year are dreadful....have done a sweep of oxford st twice...most shops have a handful of items on sale...appx 3 or 4....waiting for the further reductions in benetton as like 2 jumpers but so far only 8 quid off....seems a waste of time !!

grownup2 · 01/01/2022 22:31

I wear it in my bedroom and bed only, but apparently others wear it out to the shops. It's not indecent at all but very unstructured.

bendmeoverbackwards · 02/01/2022 00:57

@BangingOn love the red Hush jumper, what’s the sizing like?

BangingOn · 02/01/2022 08:56

@bendmeoverbackwards it’s fairly generous, typical Hush. That said, it’s supposed to be fairly fitted but if you’re between sizes as I am then sizing down was fine.

Gonnagetgoing · 02/01/2022 09:31

I’ve got both of these recently but not seen a lot I’ve loved recently in sales online!

I did buy a faux leather ballon sleeved knit sweater (black) QED in local boutique which I like.

Love the Hush buys but not sure they’re reduced enough for me.

wheresmyshoe · 02/01/2022 09:44

I bought this dress. I'm 5'8" and a solid size 12 and it's a great fit. It will swamp anyone petite as it's ankle length and voluminous (in a good way) on me. Brilliant for taller and solidly built people though. The colours are gorgeous, it's lined and has pockets.

Northernlurker · 02/01/2022 12:23

The Seasalt Pottering gown is brilliant and a total bargain if any left

sansou · 02/01/2022 16:42

Beautiful velvet dressing gown. It feels absolutely sumptuous - almost too good to be swanning around the house in. By far, the most luxurious dressing gown that I have owned. I’m tempted to buy the grey version for a spare/gift.

More practical pieces include 2 pairs of Hush Side Stripe Joggers plus their rainbow jumper which will get frequent wear.

@LadyNell I saw that orange top, it looks gorgeous. But they didn't have my size
