20% Off Spring And Summer Clothes @ OneStopPlus

I like this shop. Actually, I like any store that happens to sell clothes for women with curves. As much as I admire those muscled and toned humans, I also think that curves have a place too. So, without further ado, here is a lovely voucher code to net you 20% off the spring and summer collections at OneStopPlus.

The code you need to get your 20% off is 4754 and it is valid until 30 March 2012, so you have a bit of time to still use it this month. The offer is only valid when you buy full priced spring and summer 2012 clothing from those specific collections.

You are not allowed to use the discount on Red Price or sale items and at the same time as other offers. Lots of terms and conditions there, but pretty self explanatory. I do hope that you find yourself a lovely summer frock to enjoy at a discount this Easter!

Punky Fish Promotional Code: 50% Off Sale ItemsUse this Punky Fish promotional code to get a further 50% off items in the sale section. Handy if you've a young teen or early 20's girl to shop for! Or in fact, for yourself. I have to say I was really taken with the Brown Owl jumper. The code only works this weekend I'm afraid.

Click here to use your Punky Fish promotional code

  • Discount: 50%
  • Applies to: sale items
  • Promotional code: SALE50
  • Expires: 25th March, 2012

To use the code, go to the Shopping Bag page (click on checkout) and look down near the bottom of the page. Enter the code in the Coupon Code box. It will be applied automatically to your order.

I tested it out on the Brown Owl Jumper that I liked so much. Although I'm dithering really about whether to get one or not. I mean - it only comes in one size! You know that you're really in a store aimed at teens when clothing comes in 'one size fits all'!

The jumper had already been reduced from £24.99 to £16.99. The code took this down further to £8.50.

£10 Off Over £20 Spend And Free Trolley Bag And Vanity Case @ Daxon

Ooooh, this is quite a nice little deal for all you mums out there. Fancy getting yourself a nice frock for summer with this deal? Daxon is offering all first time customers £10 off when they spend £20 or more plus you get a free trolley bag and a vanity case as well.

The Daxon deal needs you to enter the voucher code 8022 into the relevant spot when you check out in order to qualify for the saving. It is only valid on full price items and it is only suitable for new customers. You can’t use it on things that have already been discounted or are part of their Red Page deals.

Other than that, you can frolic happily through the site and nab yourself something pretty to enjoy for £10 less than you should have paid without the voucher code. There are worse ways to spend your time but make sure you get there before the 31 March 2012 as that’s when it expires.

£15 Off Your First Order Over £20 @ La Redoute

I told you I was on a mission to get you awesome goodies at a discount! Well, this deal will get you £15 off your first order over £20 at La Redoute using the special order code below. This is a brilliant offer that could net you something utterly lovely for a fraction of what you would usually spend.

I have found some other lovely La Redoute bargains which I will be putting up later this week. It’s all happening here on the shop for awesome Easter goodies front!

Lovely Waterproof Discounts @ Muddy Puddles

Lovely Waterproof Discounts @ Muddy Puddles

Muddy Puddles has discounted some of their awesome waterproof products with prices really dropping below 50% in some cases. The deals are great and just in time for the Spring showers. Brilliant.

My personal favourites out of all the waterproof items in the sale have to be the Paint Your Own Wellies (down to £4.50 instead of £15) and the spiffing Waterproof Pullover Jacket. There are not of items in the sale right now but they are added as the days go by so keep checking in. Certainly the ones that are reduced are REALLY low.

However, as you amble through their waterproof section in search of deals, try not to get too distracted by the awesome Ladybug Wellies. Oh man, I LOVE those…

Anyway, other items included in the sale are black waterproof jackets – great for school – and a bunch of summer and winter goodies that are listed under their Clearance section. Have fun and I hope you nab an awesome deal.

Egg By Susan Lazar Sale @ Half Pint Chic

Egg By Susan Lazar Sale @ Half Pint Chic

Yesterday I reviewed some of the items in the latest Half Pint Chic sale but this lot have had such big discounts I thought I’d throw the best into a deal for you so you can see what’s out there to enjoy.

Egg by Susan Lazar is apparently a huge brand in the US of A. It is stocked in Saks 5th Avenue, Barneys and Neiman Marcus – all big names in the fashion world there. The range uses natural fabrics and clean, simple designs with no frills or gimmicks.

The clothes are lush – for both boys and girls – and the Half Pint Chic deal is fab. Hemp boys shorts are down from £30 to £14.50 and the really cute jersey rompers are down from £29 to £15. And the silk sun dresses are down from £46 to £22 – a saving of over half the original price.

There are clothes for all ages and genders there and while there isn’t a ton of variety, you can nab some great bargains nonetheless.

Egg Baby At Half Pint Chic Review

Egg Baby At Half Pint Chic Review

Each week my daughter reviews an item or two from the latest Half Pint Chic sale and each week the clothes seem to get better and better. This week the Half Pint Chic sale is for Egg Baby and wow, these clothes are loooovely.

The first item my daughter chose was the Voile Indian Shirt in pink. The picture on the site doesn’t do it justice. There is this soft, light pattern across the fabric that is beautifully complemented by the embroidery in a darker pink colour. The shirt is 100% cotton and drapes like a dream.

The wide sleeves make Tabitha look like a princess and she did plenty of swooping and dancing while wearing it. She said that it made her feel like she could dance like a fairy. And I have to admit, even though I am biased, that she did look a bit like one in this top. The quality of the fabric and the cut make it well worth the fabulously reduced £15.99 price tag.

The next item is the utterly stunning skirt which is made from silk and has an orchid pattern on the fabric. The underlay is pink and the tassels in a lovely purple with a sweet little bow detail at the waist. This comes in two colours and Tabitha spent ages trying to decide which one she wanted. I was surprised when she went for the bolder colour but, as you can see in the pic, it really worked.

The skirt is a charmer and one that I would buy two of in a heartbeat. Just look at how the elasticised waistline fits so snugly – this is especially great for little girls who have tiny waists like mine – and the extra bow adds more security too. And the lining of the skirt is actually a pair of pink shorts! Awesome.

I have to admit that, thanks to Half Pint Chic, I am starting to see why people go designer for their kids. I still wouldn’t pay the full prices (thank goodness for this site, then) but the quality, the cut, the way they look when worn, all these factors together have me smitten.

The Half Pint Chic Five Year Old Review

by Tamsin Oxford in Reviews on 12 March, 2012 at 5:00 pm

The Half Pint Chic Five Year Old Review

Half Pint Chic has teamed up with my daughter to see if she can offer an “on the ground” review (as it were) of the designer clothing sales that they run every week. Each week she selects two items from the sale, wears them for a day, and tells me what she thinks.

This week the sale is Nicki Macfarlane and wow, we were both really taken with the items on offer. Right from the top of the page to the bottom, Tabitha was pointing at items and going, “I want that! I want that!” And I had to agree with her. The colours, styles and cuts were stunning.

We eventually settled on a pair of Hyacinth shorts in lime down to £12.99 from £34, and the lovely Bluebell dress in pink floral down to £19.99 from £56. The clothes are lovely. Even my husband, he who honestly wouldn’t notice if my dress was made from a sack, was impressed and that is saying a LOT.

The Bluebell dress was instantly put on and did not come off until the end of the weekend. We barely managed to persuade her not to sleep in it. There was a debate about which way around the dress should go, though, as I had left the husband to do it while I made coffee, and came back to her wearing it the wrong way around.

After much debate and my pointing energetically at the picture on the website, he agreed that the ruffle went in front and the buttons at the back. My daughter thought this hilarious but honestly, she adores the dress. She finds it so comfy and says it makes her feel beautiful. It is worth every penny just for that! My daughter is extremely fussy about what she wears.

The shorts were worn under the dress for the weekend. I had to really bribe Tabitha to wear a shirt with them so I could take a photo. She really liked these and said that they were very comfy and she loved the pockets. Our only criticism is that the fabric used as a belt is very slippery so if your child, like mine, has a tiny waist and needs a lot of cinching, you have to keep on retying it. A bit of a pain, especially when those shorts are stunning.

Fancy getting a look in on the Half Pint Chic Nikki Macfarlane sale? It starts tomorrow here….

Right now, sadly, I don't have the spare cash to make use of this offer but next time I'm ready to shop I'll definitely be waiting for a code like this one to come along!

Fabulous Voucher Codes And Sale @ La Redoute

Fabulous Voucher Codes And Sale @ La Redoute

La Redoute are on a roll right now with a massive sale on their children’s wear, a final warehouse clearance sale on a bunch of fab items for parents, and two different voucher codes to choose from. How very nice for our straining budgets!

Let’s start by looking at the range of items on sale in the children’s wear sale, shall we? You will find 30% off selected items that range from tees and polo shirts, knitwear, skirts and dresses, trousers and leggings, jeans, shorts, shoes and accessories. Some of these are just perfect for the variable spring weather.

The first voucher code is 8355 and this is valid until 30th July 2012. You get £15 off your first order when you spend £20 or more and is valid on their Spring Summer 2012 Collections only. You won’t be able to use it for their Mini Price, Green Pages and Online Specials nor can you use it on the Vanessa Bruno edition 2011/12 range.

The next voucher code is 8008 and is valid until 12 March 2012. You get 20% off your order and follows the same strict rules as the voucher code above.

H&M Promotional Code: 25% Off One Item

H&M Promotional Code: 25% Off One ItemUse this H&M online promotional code to get 25% off your order. It applies to full price items only, and will only be applied to one item in your shopping basket.

Click here to use this H&M promotional code

  • Discount: 25%
  • Promotional code: 9668
  • Expires: 18th March 2012

To use this code, you'll need to go further into the checkout process though to see it applied. First, log in or register on the site if this is your first order.

When you get to the checkout page, enter the code in the Discount Code box. You can add and remove codes here, and you'll see immediately if the discount works. I was able to stack this code with one that gives you £5 off your order - see this post.

I tested the code on a boy's nylon jacket. This was priced at £14.99. The 25% off code took this down to £11.24, and then another £5 came off this as well bringing the total to £6.24. You need to factor in delivery costs of £3.90 however.

The Half Pint Chic Caramel Baby & Child Review

by Tamsin Oxford in Reviews on 5 March, 2012 at 5:00 pm

The Half Pint Chic Caramel Baby & Child Review

A few weeks ago Half Pint Chic asked me if my daughter would like to be their mini spokesperson via PlayPennies. The idea was that she would take a look at the latest items in the Half Pint Chic sale, select two, wear them, and then give her honest opinion of them. This was our very first week!

My daughter chose a lovely top called the Minnie Vest Top in purple and a pair of trousers in an understated camel colour. The top originally sold for £39 but is now on sale for £14, and the trousers were £48.50 but are now £19. The entire range on sale with Half Pint Chic at the moment is from Caramel Baby & Child, one of the leading childrenswear brands on the market today so the fabrics are lush, the designs clever and the price tags high.

Thank goodness these items are on sale, that’s all I can say. I would never spend £50 on a pair of trousers for kids.

My daughter was understandably ecstatic about the whole plan and constantly nagged me, “When are they arriving, Mommy, WHEN??

The package finally appeared and it made us both go, “Ooooh” as it is really beautifully presented with a sturdy box that opens relatively easily to reveal each garment wrapped in tissue paper and sealed with the Half Pint Chic sticker. How decadent!

The Half Pint Chic Caramel Baby & Child Review

It took about five seconds for my daughter to whip off her clothes and start getting dressed in the Caramel Baby & Child items. Considering that it takes her 20 minutes to put her school skirt on in the mornings, this is an impressive statistic. And she absolutely loves them. Her words were, “They are so soft, and they feel comfy. I really like the pockets on the trousers and that the top feels so soft.”

From a parent’s perspective I can tell you that I have battled to find a pair of trousers that fit my daughter’s very thin and lanky frame. These somehow DID without a belt or any adjustment. Wow. The top looks innocuous and bland on the site and in hand, but somehow drapes beautifully when worn. You can colour me surprised and impressed!

Take a look at the Half Pint Chic Caramel Baby & Child sale that is only on this week.

Up To 75% Off On Brilliant Bargains @ One Stop Plus

Up To 75% Off On Brilliant Bargains @ One Stop Plus

I have a thing for shops that create beautiful clothes for plus sized women. I don’t think that all women need (or should!) be anorexic stick insects and that curves are wonderful. And so does One Stop Plus. This store is huge in the US and now you can nab some awesome bargains for yourself in their sale.

In their sale they have a lovely range of dresses (and I mean LOVELY) for under £10 which range from evening out styles to gorgeous day wear. Many of these, such as the printed long sleeved dress, have been reduced from as much as £45 to only £18 or £11.70.

You can also get a further 15% off and free delivery if you use the code 6078. Now this code may not work with the sale items, but it will get you some of the wardrobe must haves for spring and summer this year at a tasty discount. A lovely place to visit for Mother’s Day shopping too!
