•The summer sales are proving just a little too tempting for me and my out of hand shopping habit at the moment; as much as I love a bargain I'm usually a hater of the sales except this year I've been sucked in to them like a size 0 in a plughole and I've been buying like there's going to be a draught.

I think I'm put off by the messy rails of oversized dresses, odd shoes and general trash that gets forced upon me at discounted prices (I'm a hoarder but even ripped tights are no good to me), not to mention the high levels of estrogen and cattyness. This time though, I remained one step ahead of the game with a calmer approach to the art of bargain hunting and oiled my elbows ready for the battle.

I wasn't disappointed, with a little patience, an eye like a hawk and a looot of snatching, I came away with the beauties below! They say lightening doesn't strike twice but I'm going to try and nab some bits tomorrow too, if all else fails it'll be a good reason to bypass the sale rail and head for the newbies ;)
