Bargain hunter's paradise

I've already mentioned Wardrobe mistress (catch up here), but there is many more ways how to save money. There are various sites, that are full of designer goodies at purse friendly prices. Today is mostly about worn and nearly new pieces, but I will write a post about good ways how to save money on new stuff  too - all year round sales or sites that compare prices.
I did a little research on second-hand online boutiques and was pleasantly surprised. I found many that are worth checking out.
Fashion Blood Hound has a great selection of designer clothes and accessories. I was especially pleased to see quite a few shoes in my size (41), which I'm often struggling to find. And they promise to source stuff for you, if you're after a particular item. Sounds great no?
Style sequel has some amazing pieces too. Everything is handpicked with a great sense for style. The prices are very good, the only downside is, that they are all ebay auctions, so there is no guarantee you win your desired piece.
Hardly ever worn it's selection is amazing! So many desirable items. Again you buy through ebay auction, but there is also but it now option. I really like the design of the site and they sell stuff for you too. Must-visit.
I definitely recommend them all it your after some high-end stuff, but are on the budget. Let me know if you find some great bargain and also if you know any amazing webite I forgot to mention.
And because Carrie Bradshaw was known for her mixture of old and new, who better to show for an inspiration.
Have a stylish day.

Bargain hunting Part 1 - Wardrobe Mistress

I tweeted last week about a dress that I found on two different websites at very different prices. It got me thinking. It really pays to shop around, as you can save yourself a lot of money. There are times when you don't have to be loyal and this is it. Yes you may spend more time searching, but with the money you save, you can maybe buy an extra item too :). Fortunately there are some sites that help with your search for a bargain and alo sites that "just" sell bargains. So I decided to run a feature over few coming days, introducing my fave ways to save money, but still buy great stuff.
Starting with Wardrobemistress.co.uk . When I was introduced to this by lovely Tanya at Push PR press day, I was hooked straight away. What the lady behind the site does, is a wardrobe detox for her clients and the stuff that's left unwanted, is then sold at the website. She does of course much more and you can read about it on the site. But for now let's concentrate on the treasures you can discover. If you're wondering, yes most of the stuff is pre-worn or used, but some of it very barely used and all is in good condition. The best bit is the amazing reductions. I'm talking Louboutin shoes for as low as £80. Unfortunately most of them too small for me, but I keep checking regularly, because new goods are arriving all the time. The handbag and shoes selection is absolutely incredible, as well as the clothes to be honest. It's kind of a "vintage shopping" from the comfort of your home. And much cheaper, actually. So if you like a good bargain, do check Wardrobe mistress now and don't forget to come back, for more features how to shop and save money.
Have a stylish day.
