My top five best places to shop

Like any girl I love to shop. I’m not really a fan of designer clothing, mainly because of the cost attached, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like to look fashionable. High street stores have so many designer inspired trends these days there’s really no need to spend hundreds of pounds on a little dress or pair of jeans. I think sometimes even the high street version pulls it off far better than the pricier one! Here’s an insight into my five best places to shop.

Everything5pounds

If you haven’t heard of them where have you been hiding?! Everything5pounds is one of my best places to shop as everything is only £5 and you can find last season bargains from high street stores. I love their shoes and have had many compliments, my favourite was a pair of beige high heeled ankle boots with a fur trim. Unfortunately the heel broke whilst in Edinburgh and I had literally no room in my hand luggage to take them home to repair. I sadly left them in the apartment before heading home. Some of the items you can find from high street stores are clearly seconds from stores like Dorothy Perkins or New Look. You may also find items from brands that you’ve probably never heard of. Postage is a little pricey but if you have a big haul it’s not too bad. It’s also worth mentioning that you have to be quick as they sell out really quickly. Visit them online

Asos

Asos is one of the best places to shop as they have a huge selection of brands with collections in clothing, beauty, home and more. I tend to have a massive spending session probably every six months where I go through all the sale and outlet items. You can find some real bargains in the sale at great prices, for example I found some Levi jeans that had been reduced to £59.00 from around £100.00. I love looking at the dresses and tops as some are really pretty. I do return quite a lot but they’re really quick with refunds and it’s all free so there’s nothing to be worried about.

Primark

Primark or Primarni as it’s fondly known to many women is one of my all time favourite stores. It’s not as cheap as it used to be but it still has some really good budget buys. Sometimes I go in there and find absolutely nothing but other times I find so much that I spend loads on a Primark haul. They have a good mixture of styles and a decent Primark beauty range which is friendly on the budget too.

Quiz Fashion

I only really discovered my love for Quiz last year. They have some really pretty dresses that are perfect for work and the most amazing evening dresses. They’re reasonably priced at around £35-£40 apiece on average and are pretty good quality. I do feel that they don’t really update their collections that often though which is a little annoying. Visit them online

Lipsy

Lipsy is great for on trend clothing that looks great. I would say some of it however is quite pricey which puts me off a little bit. I find it so annoying when you pay full price for a item and then you find it in the sale two weeks later. Often I browse their sale for some cheaper bits but occasionally I do like to have a splurge.
