Fashion Outlets

Yesterday I had a very wet photo shoot on a boat for Freeport Braintree Designer Village and it reminded me how great shopping outlets can be!  We are all experiencing a little bit of a pinch in the current financial climate and shopping outlets like Freeport are a great way of updating your wardrobe whilst watching the pennies!

This look we created last year was a TED BAKER dress with Karen Millen bag and the entire look was bang on trend and came in £200.00 cheaper than it would on the high street!  You can't argue with discounts that big...

The dress below was also Karen Millen and had a 30% discount to the high street price!

So if you are in need of a wardrobe up-date or a dress for the Jubilee weekend then I would highly recommend visiting one of the many Outlet's nationwide.  If you visit Braintree Freeport make sure you pop into Sasperilla as it has some great items that are not on the high street so you can guarantee that nobody else will be wearing the same outfit!

Bring back the Sun!

This change in weather has put a big hold on my summer purchases, for fear that we just had our summer!!!  But to get us all back in the mood for summer here is a vibrant outfit idea for all you colour loving gals out there.

This jacket is a great item to take you through this grey weather and straight into (fingers crossed ) amazing Summer. It is £70 from Oasis and looks great with separates as well as dresses and jumpsuits.

I would pop this fab denim shirt from Mango £29.99 under for warmth but also to give it a more relaxed look.  This is a great wardrobe staple and will work with shorts or a pleated skirt in summer.

Then for that vibrant bit of summer... these jeans are £48 from Oasis and they are great fun if you have the legs to carry them off!  If not then opt for a simple coloured jean.
