summer sale extravaganza

So I think its pretty official that Summer has arrived, whether in the UK you are battling wind and rain with the occasional 20 odd degrees or across seas bathing in 30+ I think we all know this is as good as its going to get.

Working in retail and at a restaurant my hours really do not cater to good weather. I could be stuck in a sticky shop all day, feet swelling in my Russell & Bromleys, legs glued as I quoted "as if in a permanent vacuum" to my jeans. Or I could spend the whole day in a garden or beach with friends only to be faced with the thought of work that evening. I can't win !

In-between my dodgy hours I have sourced the ever growing sales in stores and found some key summer pieces that I am so pleased with and can't wait to share with you! If the day calls for some sun spread with rain and wind I slide into my white skinnies from Warehouse or River Island culottes for night. If the weather decides to play all day I slip into a light floral gypsy number from Zara and my white pool slides from Office online, which my mum can't believe I bought as she calls them "grannies shoes" - they most definitely are not.
Also to add, one crochet kaftan from Hollister and two OPI goodies from Fenwick's sort of sale (20% off beauty), a rosey/ orange and a shimmery pearl. Both ideal for tans.
Props to my sister who once said "if you find yourself in a Primark sale you are in a bad place", this is exactly where I ended up. But a few £2 tops later and I have myself a quick fold up turban and the odd beach tee, because for £2, sun cream and lolly stains are ok.






Kaftan, Holliser £15 / OPI £8 each / Culottes, River Island £15 / Shoes, Office £14
/ Jeans, Warehouse £25 / Dress, Zara £15

Prices and stock may vary and could possibly have gone down further! Plus, Office and Warehouse offer student discount on top of sale! Happy shopping
