Sluttery Sales Spy: Hobbs, Warehouse & Office

The January sales have started! We've missed Christmas! RAISE THE ALARM.

OH. No. It's just that the shops couldn't wait to hang up their 2014 calendars, and now they're confused about what month it is. But that's good news for us, because PRE-CHRISTMAS BARGAINS. Also, you can still get stuff delivered in time for the big day. I have made a handy list of dates and times. It's my Christmas present to you.

THE DRESSES

Pop Boutique swing dress, £15 (was £30), ASOS

Well now, someone's looking as cute as button. I love this Pop Boutique dress from ASOS, and now it's just £15! Don't wear it to a restaurant, otherwise people (cc: Mama B) will keep mistaking you for the waitress. Unless you are the waitress, in which case, EXCELLENT choice.

Cutwork dress, £40 (was £65), Warehouse

There's something bat-like/caped crusader-esque about this cutwork dress that makes me ADORE it. PAGING DC COMICS: I'm ready for my close up now. Come along. I'm waiting for your call.

THE TOPS

Creature Feature top, £22.95 (was £34), Anthropologie

OWLS! Exceedingly grumpy owls at that. There are buttons all the way down the back of this Creature Feature tee from Anthropologie, which is an added bonus. They describe it as a "delightful conversational top", so you'll be able to have a nice long chat with the owls, too. How charming.

NW3 owl tee, £19 (was £29), Hobbs

ANOTHER OWL! He's less grumpy, but a bit perplexed at having found himself on a Hobbs NW3 tee. Validate his existence by buying it immediately. Twit-twoo, etc.

THE JEWELLERY

Jennifer Loiselle blue Solaris earrings, £56 (was £80), Boticca

The Boticca winter sale has arrived, with up to 70% off some incredibly lovely jewellery. These Jennifer Loiselle Solaris earrings are my faves. As a Christmas present, Boticca is offering FREE worldwide delivery from 3pm on Christmas Day, right through to 3pm on December 28th. I can't think of a better reason to switch off the Queen's speech and go shopping instead. Sorry Ma'am.

Champagne necklace, £28 (was £35), Tatty Devine

Cheers! Tatty Devine has 20% off their Christmas jewellery at the mo, including this cutesome little shiny champagne glass. Bubbly is for life, kids, not just for Christmas. INVEST. Then ingest. (Not the necklace. You're not some strange Britain's Got Talent act.)

THE SHOES

Lola Ramona clogs, £50 (was £100), Office

You know I like a clompy shoe, and these clogs by Lola Ramona are ticking all my stomp 'n' clomp boxes by being cute-yet-orthopaedic. It's the loveheart what does it for me. Note too, please, the metal kicking apparatus at the front. Very useful.  

Juniper heels in teal, £38.40 (was £48), Topshop

Sian loves these shoes. Kat loves these shoes. Commenter Allie has them and loves them. I think it's safe to say that we're all fans of Topshop's Juniper heels, never more so than when they've got almost a tenner off in the sale! There are five colourways, and I love them all. 

Wow. That was a lot of love right there.
