It’s summer sale time and the hightstreet is buzzing with bargains from bikinis to beautiful dresses. However, we know many of you won’t have time to step out of the office to take advantage of these, or won’t have the inclination to elbow through the crowds and fight that bargain hunter for that last size 10 (we’ve all done it).
Thankfully the internet has put paid to these problems and means you can shop from your desk (at lunchtime of course), at night or even on the train if you have an internet mobile handy.
And to help you out further we’ve put together our top five bargain fashion buys from bikinis to sunglasses to little summer dresses.
Take a look at our gallery and get shopping happy fast. We have a feeling these bargains won’t be hanging around for long.

Bargain POTW, Beauty
By Andrea Petrou on April 15th, 2010
We all want to live the life of a celebrity, but sadly for most of us we can’t afford the endless amount of grooming, pampering and pilates to get in tip top shape…until now that is.
Thanks to Wahanda we can now get the crème de la crème of deals, which basically lets us get pampered and preened like a celebrity at ridiculously affordable prices.
The Wahanda MobDeal, is an incentive that has been around for a few months and if we’re honest, we’ve been keeping this to ourselves for some time (sorry Shinystylers we promise we’ll never hide our secrets from you again.)
It works by giving members a new beauty deal, which goes live from midnight to midnight each day and works through “group buying” to get us treatments such as massages, spa days, hair cuts and pedicures for as little as £10 a day.
Now we realise we’ve shot ourselves in the foot by not telling you before because for the deal to work a minimum number of sales has to be achieved per deal, this number varies by day and by deal.
Once you buy your deal, a voucher is sent to your email with a special code to redeem your deal and best of all, Wahanda is giving something back – for every MobDeal purchase made, Wahanda will donate £1 to charity:water to continue supporting their great cause of bringing fresh water to communities.
Sign up to Wahanda’s MobDeal daily alerts now to get your bargain beauty.

Are you a bargain hunting shopaholic who likes to tell everyone about all the great deals you get? Well now you can spread the word further than your Twitter and Facebook page.
The FashionPixie, is a new site, which is updated daily to alert women to sales from all retailers by compiling the best deals on one website. And it’s looking for people to help gather this information. You’ll be able to submit the latest deals via links on the home page telling everyone where the best sales are on the highstreet and online.
Nicole Snape. a representative for the The Fashion Pixie, said: “There are a huge number of discounts, special offers and sales available throughout the country and, as we all know, the secret of savvy bargain-hunting is to stay ahead of the crowds so it is essential that our community provides up-to-the-minute information.
“As well as our network of regular contributors who will be visiting shops and High Streets in cities throughout the UK and trawling websites and emails, we are also relying on dedicated fashion pixies nationwide to feed us any bargain news they come across which we can then share with the rest of our community.”
If you think you’ve got what it takes to help, log onto the site now, we’ll be keeping an eye out on what you suggest, purely for research purposes you understand.

We know many celebrities wear fashions way above our financial scope and we always try to give you similar highstreet styles to match. However it seems we’re not alone in our quest with VoucherCodes.com joining in on the get the look for less bandwagon.
The money-saving website, which offers vouchers, promotional codes and exclusive discounts for some of the country’s biggest brands has tracked down a similar version of Cheryl Cole’s cute and cosy bobble hat.
And it’s giving customers a 50% discount off the £8 item, which is available at New Look. Not bad considering her original Aubin and Wills hat cost £49 (we’re sure you could have bought a whole sheep for that.)
But that’s not all the website is also offering readers a whopping 20% discount code, for the New Look too. Log onto Vouchercodes before 30 November to ensure you’re not left out in the cold.

We’re not going to rabbit on about how much we love online shopping because if you’re a regular reader you’ll know how passionate we are about it.
However, what we will be talking about, at least until the weekend, is the fantastic news that Tesco has added fashion to its huge online range.
From today we can pick up the supermarket’s well known clothing brands such as the gorgeous Florence and Fred and Liquorish, while filling up our kitchen cupboards.
We love this gorgeous satin skirt with a flattering side pleat and for £40 it’s a definite must have for your winter wardrobe.
Just make sure you don’t mistakenly pack these clothes away with your fridge stuff. They may look good enough to eat, but we think they’d look much better on.

Let’s face it; we’ll never just be happy with one coat this winter.
However, as the credit crunch continues to bite as icily as the winter weather it doesn’t seem we have a choice, does it?
Instead of wallowing we have been having a scout around and we have found a perfect alternative.
This red coat from QS, which is fast becoming a close second to our favourite bargain store Primark, is only £28. Yes that’s right, £28 and that’s not even its sale price.
With its double breasted waisted look, we can guarantee you’ll not only be warm but also be able to afford at least another two coats this winter, or just that one Gucci coat you’ve been dreaming about.

Get in queue now, because Lindsay Lohan’s leggings line ’6126′ are on sale in a big way at Nordstrom.
Some of her styles, like these ‘Star Torn’ leggings, have literally been slashed by 60 per cent in price.
For example, they were retailing for $110 and they now selling for just $43.90. You don’t need to be a maths whiz to know that is quite a substantial saving.
Other designs including the ‘Charisma’ lace insert leggings, and ‘Andre’ cropped lace leggings are also two bargain buys. Start shopping now!
[Thanks Nylon!]

Have some cash left to actually fill this wallet after you buy it. The Kimchi Blue woven hinge wallet has a “I picked this up at the bazaar” quality to it, but you can buy it at Urban Outfitters for only $12.99.
There’s plenty of pockets inside and plenty of style outside. Plus in gold you can use it with whatever purse you want, or call me crazy but I think it would make a cute clutch when you’re headed out to the bar.

Sometimes we fudge it on shoes, but these Urban Outfitters lace skimmers are a bona fide bargain at $19.99.
We love evening flats, they’re so versatile. Their lack of heel instantly makes them appropriate for a variety of casual outfits, but they’re just as cocktail party chic with a LBD. Or, stash them in your purse and you won’t be stuck in a sequin party frock and flip flops on your walk home.
Plus, a rubber sole? Hello Valentine, be mine!

This little Le Sportsac Kevyn bag would make a great makeup bag for only $25. All Le Sportsac bags are a great fabric for carrying around spillables, so I often look to them for the perfect cosmetics carrier. And I love the black rose print.
Five styles in six different prints were featured on Home Shopping Network yesterday and worth taking a look at, nothing over $130!

Apparently we’re a bit fixated on necklaces this week, but if you can’t afford Drew Barrymore’s $270 necklace, this one from Forever 21 is equally statement-making.
This gemstone necklace from Forever 21, $7.80, dangles faceted clear and gray gemstones from a gunmetal chain and black grosgrain ribbon for a look that can go goth or glam.
Necklaces like these are one of the best ways to jazz up your LBD, especially if it has a higher neckline that makes the necklace look more like part of the dress than an accessory.

I recently got a fabulous deal on a green chiffon Tahari Christmas dress at Macy’s ($160 down to $30 thankyouverymuch) and so I want everyone to find a fabulous dress there! So that’s one reason I’m featuring the London Times Sleeveless Crossover-Waist Dress, $110, as our bargain party dress of the week.
Sure, it’s a LBD, but the shimmering charmeuse, crossover and pin tucking make it so much more!
The other reason I’m featuring it? Now through Monday Macy’s is extending their 20% employee discount to friends and family when you use this coupon:

Happy shopping!

Bargain POTW, outerwear

This Old Navy canvas peacoat is perfect for today’s rainy, dreary weather on the East Coast. If it’s particularly chilly, the coat is roomy enough to layer under, and then you can just add a scarf on top.
While we chose the neutral bone color, there are also fun options like purple and green if you’re looking for something more bold.
The best part? Right now it’s only $25. Old Navy has up to 50 percent off all outerwear this week, and we’re guessing prices will remain low once the cold snaps really hit.
If your part of the country is already snapping – there’s wool versions of the peacoat under $50 as well.

I know we’re all about the Target news today, but here’s something you can actually buy now.
The Kathy riding boot, $36.99, has been at Target for awhile (I think), but last night I tried them on and finally found a zip-up riding boot that goes over my muscular calves. I wanted to cry.
I also learned that stretching your leg out in front of you to zip up your boots is the shoe equivalent of laying down to zip up your jeans. I’m currently wearing the boots around the house to stretch them out a bit more, but my 2-year search is over. YAY.
