Spring Summer Inspiration

 None of these Tesco items are online yet sadly but I'll keep an eye and add the links. Finally, some great sale bargains that will see you well this spring. How about a Boden Autumn Trench - which will work just as well in Spring? Down to £38.70 from £129.
Boden Autumn Trench - in 12 or 14 only
These glitter pumps are so pretty and only £14.70 and the navy suede is £19.70. Limited sizes but they're perfect for spring

And is there ever a bad time of the year to buy a leopard clutch? It's a tad pricy for something I'd probably not use that much but there's 20% off clearance this Saturday...worth bookmarking!

Zip Top Clutch - £55.30 pre Saturday's discount
A final lustworthy item that I can't stop thinking about - these Helen Bateman Esther Peacock Point Toe Heels...ADORE! Ironic as I lie here in pain but I just want to buy them to look at as they are so beautiful. Great price too in the sale.
Finally, if you like my Helen Bateman Billy Bag as much as I do, they're in the sale too - down to just £48..though there are only 2 colours left. An amazing bargain for a bag of this quality. I use my grey one almost every day so I *may* have invested in a black one...

So I've been looking online at the end of the sales and at some of the new ranges to find inspiration for spring and summer.  I wear my Boden bretons most weeks (see below!) so I'm always on the lookout for variations on the classic breton. I saw this lovely one on the Oasis Belfast twitter account earlier today:

You can find it on the Oasis site here but I'm hoping to get in-store to try it on as I may need to size up to get the length I need. While I was looking for the top online, I also saw this other alternative to a traditional breton. The engineered stripe woven top - only £25. Love it.

I must say, I am well impressed with Oasis this season. I think they lost their way in recent years but the website has had a revamp and there's LOTS I'm loving. They're also ticking my 2 online shopping boxes...firstly, you get to see a model wearing the item when you hover over the item picture on the main page (without having to click through..does that make sense!?) AND there's a video of a model wearing each item...I just love a video...it really helps when you're online shopping. Anyway, back to the bits I've spotted.
These boxy tee's look fab. Also available in a cream colour and I've decided I need/want both!
 

I could go on and on but you'll think Oasis sponsored this post - I promise they didn't :) Tesco next and I was in this morning (just before my back gave up the goat) and was immediately drawn to this subtle geo jersey drape jacket. This is a lovely weight of jersey and nicely styled with the blush pink here. Kind of wishing I bought it now but I've done too much damage online over the past week (blog post to follow on that).
 

This grey top is caught my eye also. It has an asymmetrical front hem. A lovely alternative to black for a night out.
 

These patent heels are a great neutral colour too:

Finishing up with a couple of outfits from this week....I have really tried to make an effort, despite the building site of a house :) First up, some old favourites on Monday - a milder day so I didn't need a coat:

Cape - Vero Moda (not very similar but the best I could find!)
Jeans - Replay
Burgundy Boots - Bertie (similar)
Burgundy Jumper - Next (similar)
Checked Scarf - SGS Shop (similar)
(all old items)

And yesterday some layering outside my new red door...

Navy Jumper - Vero Moda at Call Me Pretty Boutique - called Black Iris but it's definitely proper navy!
Jeans - Replay as before
Breton - Boden
Long Brown (in need of a polish) Boots - Hobbs (past season - similar here & here)

Keep safe in the snow everyone - back on Friday with a slightly different kind of blog post...
