sale alert - freez

Those cool cats at the Freez site have always had an awe inspiring range of choices within their sale section, but they have really outdone themselves this time. They have just added over 150 items to their new percentage off clearance section. Some items have been discounted by up to 78%!! Not familiar with Freez? Oh my, what are we going to do with you?! Don't worry, there's hope for you yet. Freez launched it's online store in October 2007 and instantly found itself a niche market. The number of labels it offers is a tad ridic including: MinkPink, Ladakh, Sunnygirl, Pink Stitch, All About Eve, Just Add Sugar, Condura, Adorne, Missco, Lili, Finders Keepers, Sass and that's just to name a few! Here's what the Freez peeps have to say for themselves:
"While a number of retailers sell some of our brands, we do not believe there is a competitor in the market that duplicates our product & service under one roof. Our aim is to exceed expectations & make it as easy as possible for our customers to shop both online and in our stores. We receive many customer compliments about our uniqueness and wonderful service. As an independent business Freez is committed to providing affordable and quality clothing and providing a personal touch to every aspect of the business."
 So now that you're all worded up, take a look at my pick of the clearance items with all images linked directly to the sale pages. 
All About Eve Daily Jacket
Reduced from $29.00 to $20.00
Available in Black and Taupe it's no surprise where this jacket got it's name. It's light-weight fabric is perfect for layering and will have you covered from now through to the end of Summer.



Finders Keepers Re Write Dress
Reduced from $109.00 to $29.00
It's all about the LWD (little white dress) this season, so get on board with this casual style. Made from delightful viscose and featuring a wide scooped neckline, a triangle split in the back and ruched detailing on the sleeves, pair with jewelled metallic sandals for an ethereal look.

 

Gabby Wears Leopard Flat
 Reduced from $39.00 to $20.00
 I've featured this style in a few different outfit collections, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that I think highly of this wild incarnation of the ballet flat. These babies have the perfect shape and will be fabulous when paired with a solid colour outfit (like black, red, or berry shades) so they can shine like the star they are.



Ladakh Fever Skirt
Reduced from $59.00 to $29.00
 The Fever Skirt is part of Ladakhs advertised Pre-Summer 2011 Collection and is a must for every girls wardrobe, going perfectly with all the flowy, oversized chiffon tops which are set to be huge this upcoming season. Featuring darting front and back, exposed bronze back zip, draped stretch fabric feature covering on front, it has just the right amount of texture to keep it from being boring black.



MinkPink Crinkle Cut Shirt
Reduced from $49.00 to $25.00
 Speaking of flowing, oversized shirts, here we have a perfectly gorgeous example that is ideal for  trans-seasonal weather. I'm loving this rich port wine colour and there's a great texture to this fabric too. Hate the shapeless look? Undo a few of the lower buttons, tie the shirt up into a bow and voila! you have shape again.



Freez Lace Edge Dress
Reduced from $59.00 to $29.00
The lace trend was already big through Winter and it's set to get bigger as the months get warmer. I really love the femininity that lace can bring to a piece and this black sun dress is no exception. With a stretch empire-line waist and funky belled sleeves, this number is perfect for all body shapes as it will hide a multitude of sins but remains sexy with an above the knee hemline. Every. Box. Ticked. Yay!

sale alert - peep toe shoes, it's Melbourne's turn

You may remember my post from earlier in the month letting all the Sydney shoe lovers know about the exciting warehouse sale PeepToe Shoes had announced. Well, now it's Melbourne's turn! From Friday 26th through to Sunday 28th of August, PeepToe Shoes are taking over Port Melbourne Town Hall and are calling it their "biggest warehouse sale" yet.

 
Once again, they're not giving much away as far as what lines will be on sale though they are promising a huge range including couture shoes, bags and accessories as well as "one-off styles" which I have to say has, for me, upped the excitement factor to 11. You've got to love exclusive styles and that wonderful feeling when you know that no other girl has the chic design you just scooped up!

studying in berlin

I've never actually completed any of my many attempts at tertiary education, the most recent example is the Masters Of Accounting that I abandoned after an intensive care induced epiphany which made me realise that the world of small cubicles and numbers was not for me.
My dream is to one day complete formal training in fashion design and production. Berlin has some of the most well renowned universities in Europe and is apparently quite nice this time of year... Hey, a girl can dream!

I don't know about you, but my part of the world was positively sunny this weekend and all that sunshine inspired me greatly. Spring dresses were calling out to me from my wardrobe and it's great to hear their feminine voices once again. The divine half sleeved silk tunic seen below is an ideal in-between-season piece and is sure to brighten up the office in no time. My favourite thing about this collection?

hot off the press - miss selfridge now offer free international shipping

If you're not familiar with the fabulousness that it is Miss Selfridge, then you can start thanking me now because it's right up there on my list of favourite UK online shopping sites. It's a wonderfully organised site, in the same design as you may have seen at ASOS and TopShop; all items are sortable by style, size, colour and price.  They have something for everyone, from the most basic staple items like tights and tees, to original yet affordable accessories and luscious dresses and coats in styles ranging from modern and on-trend to positively vintage inspired. In the past I've had to choose my purchases very carefully, taking much time to ensure that I really needed that skirt/jacket/pair of heels to ensure I wasn't paying exxy international postage charges for frivolous items that are indeed lovely but perhaps not necessary.
It's thrilling to know that I can now throw caution to the wind and splurge away, with all international Miss Selfridge orders over £60 now being processed with free shipping. In Australian dollars, at the most recent exchange rate that's around $94.50.
As if you needed any further inspiration to go clicking, here's my pick of the latest arrivals at Miss Selfridge, with images linked straight to the sale pages.

Navy Heart Print Belt Dress £45
Every girl needs a great long sleeved dress and this belted number is no exception.


Purple PU Trim Suedette Shorts £35
Shorts in all varieties of styles and lengths are going to be huge this summer. I'd be pairing these babies with a floaty cami tucked in for a chic yet relaxed look.
 
Green Polka Dot Burnout Crop £20
Show off your washboard abs in the huge assortment of crop tops seemingly everywhere right now. Not a gym junkie? No problem, crops are perfect for layering!

Sheer Equestrian Scarf £14
There's something so effortlessly sexy about a silk scarf tied delicately around your neck. Let this number speak for itself and pair with solid colours.


Tan Leather Buckle Satchel £69
The classic satchel at a fraction of the classic price. Heaven.
  
Leather Skull Purse £20
Unexpected tough accents like the skulls seen on this purse keep things interesting.
Magenta One Sleeve Textured Dress £34
I'm in love with everything about this dress; the colour, the cut, the fabulous texture. Straight to the top of my party-dress-wish-list.


Ochre Pleated Midi Skirt £29
This season skirts are all about "the midi", grazing just below your knee. Beware: this trend is not suitable for the vertically challenged, if this is you, stick to above the knee styles to ensure you don't get lost in stumpy calf hell.




Eloise nude stud T-Bar £25
The ballerina style with a blinging twist, me likey.
Mocha Waterfall Jacket £35
This half-sleeve waterfall number will see you through Spring, it's ultra versatile style will go with just about everything.


Rust Multi Stripe Tee £20
Stripes are one of my many weaknesses and this colour is bang on trend. How comfortable does it look too?!
Peggy Red Suede Multi Strap £65
Whether you pairs these kickers with bare legs or opaques, they're sure to get you noticed in no time.
