I hope you all had a beautiful Christmas with family and friends. Whatever you celebrate during the holidays, it’s an opportunity to be happy, spend time with your loved ones, relax and eat loads!! I certainly had a lovely Christmas and am now looking forward to the New Year!
Everyone who knows me, knows I love to shop. However, I like a leisurely hassle-free shopping experience where I’m not picking my items off the floor or battling with the girl opposite me for the last pair of shoes on the shelf, nor will I be found queueing in the freezing cold from the early hours just to be the first through the shop door!! I am no Boxing Day shopper I’m afraid, instead I quite like the idea of sitting in front of the TV watching the Boxing Day footy, with a cuppa in the warmth (preferably in my onsie), with my laptop and credit card to hand whilst I hit the online sales. I actually tend to find so much more online shopping than I do when I step out, so I’ve made it my tradition to do it every year! Here is my 2014 guide to online Boxing Day shopping.
Clothes and Shoes
It’s no surprise that my favourite high street and online fashion sites are my first port of call when I start my shopping and I often find my best things at the following sites:
ASOS – Absolutely cracking deals on boots and heels.
Now that I’m a working girl, work clothing seems essential every time I go shopping and I even now look at everything I like with ‘can I wear this to work?’ in mind. I work in a corporate environment so I have to dress relatively smart-casual, so for blouses, skirts and trousers, Mango and Zara are my go-to spots. I have to admit, I LOVE a Zara sale, and some of my best bits in my wardrobe, I’m proud to say are some Zara sale steals, particularly the shoes!
Bags and accessories
There are only two places that I normally look for accessories and bags and thats Topshop and Accessorize. I have bought some absolute beauties from past Accessorize sales, mainly bags, as the prices really drop! And I would say that about 90% of the jewellery I own has been bought in a Topshop sale!!
Home
NEXT – I actually prefer going in to a large Next store and going into the homeware section to find things. I’m in love with Next home stuff, and in the sale, their items often go down by 75%. Brilliant.
The White Company for that added luxury.
Beauty
I hit the SpaceNK site immediately!! My favourite unique and luxury brands drop their prices right down.
My ‘Best of the Beauty Products’ includes:
Baked Eye Colour Quad by Laura Mercier – gorgeous metallic palette which can be applied dry or wet for different looks.
Eye Canvas Flax EC2 by Laura Mercier – price halved in the sale for this perfect eye base.
Cover Expert By Terry – £45 down to £11 for this gorgeous correcting foundation.
Clarisonic Mia 2 Sonis Skin Cleansing System – From £120 to £107 on FeelUnique.com, even this small drop is tempting for this product!!
NARS Cosmetics Modern Future Set – Absolutely gorgeous trio on LookFantastic.com
Nails Inc. Be Gelous Alexa Cheung Collection – Only £29.40 down from £45 in John Lewis!! Wha-whattt?! I’ve been raring to get my hands on this!
Décleor Party Ready Skin Collection – A run-up to New Years Eve treat? Hell yeah with this drop to £26 for £38 on Feel Unique.
Give Me 5 Smokey Eyes Kit By Terry – From £96 to £48, a great steal to create the perfect smokey eyes… and it even comes in a nice clutch bag!
Moroccanoil Hydrating and Volumising Travel Kit – Sale price of £25 you can’t go wrong. I love the Moroccanoil products, they are gorgeous for all types of hair and this cute little travel kit would last months!
Also if you’re a student, log onto your Unidays account to get a student discount on top of the sale price for selected stores such as Urban Outfitters and Topshop!
I’m not a shopaholic I promise…. who am I kidding?!
Enjoy the sales!
Love Nimisha
