My Net-A-Porter Sale Haul

When the Net-A-Porter sale starts it's never a good thing for my bank balance as I love my designer labels and even more so when they're at such a great price.

I tried to buy things that I really needed like new jeans, a new bag and lingerie (well I definitely don't need lingerie but it's a staple in my eyes haha)

 Stella McCartney Lingerie (sold out)

More underwear I hear you say? I'm just a sucker for nice underwear and couldn't help myself despite the fact I own about 2,000 pairs haha!

 Dolce & Gabbana Bag (sold out)

I've been wanting a new 'weekend' bag for a while, I absolutely love my Givenchy Antigona and my red Aspinal rucksack but they're my work bags and I find them too big for the weekend. I wear my Marc Jacobs bag religiously and I'm fed up of seeing it haha so a new bag was a must in my eyes. As leopard print is such a classic it will never date and goes with everything.  

Alexa Chung for AG Jeans - Black high waisted Skinnies

I like to buy expensive jeans as they just seem to last so much longer, my trusty black Iris & Ink jeans from The Outnet are getting old but still have lots of life in them but a new pair was definitely needed so what better pair to get than one designed by the babe Alexa Chung herself.

Moschino Swimsuit

This swimsuit wasn't actually in the sale but I'm a sucker for swimwear especially designer swimwear so this was a must for our holiday this summer as it's super fun.

Bella Freud Jumper (sold out)

This also wasn't a sale buy and I actually bought this before Christmas  as I wanted it to wear on Christmas day but it hasn't made an appearance on the blog yet so I thought I would add it into this post. There are other Bella Freud jumpers in the sale though here.

What's your favourite piece?

TheOutnet.com Haul

Grenson Brogues

Elle Macpherson lingerie set

Stella McCartney lingerie set

Calvin Klein lingerie set

Stella McCartney Knickers

Caudalie Beauty Set

So I think I've gone a bit crazy on the lingerie this month but I love buying nice sets as I wear them everyday. My favourite one is the CK set as it's really comfy and is the softest silky fabric.

I've also wanted a pair of Grensons for a while so went for this metallic copper pair as I thought they'd be lovely for A/W and will pretty much go with anything.

The Outnet are now selling beauty for a limited time until the new year so I had to get this Caudalie set. At only £15 it was cheaper than the bigger bottle clay mask on it's own if you bought it elsewhere and you get the two free for that price too.

What have you been buying this month? I couldn't help but do a bit of self gifting!

A Mini The Outnet Clearance Haul

 

Breton Top - Iris & Ink

Lingerie Set - Stella McCartney

For those of you who don't know TheOutnet.com is the sister brand to Net-A-Porter that is a designer outlet selling past season at great discount prices. They have their own label called Iris & Ink which is amazing BTW - they just launched their FW15 collection which is one of the exciting things I shot in New York on my second time there with work, so you should go check it out here (especially if you love luxury basics/wardrobe essentials)!!

So The Outnet always does a big clearance/summer sale where you can get designer things at amazing prices (even more so than usual!) This Stella McCartney lingerie set was only £18 and it's such a classic set. The Breton top was the same price - usually £45. You can't go wrong with a decent breton which is a wardrobe essential at that price.


I always tend to buy my lingerie from The Outnet or from Net-A-Porter in the sale, as I personally feel you can't beat well made lingerie, especially when it's something you wear everyday.

Net-A-Porter Sale Buys

It's no secret that I work at Net-A-Porter so I am constantly seeing things I want and putting things I see into my wishlist everyday so I love spending at sale time when they go nice and cheap.

I know it's all expensive but all of these were such bargains as I got them in final reductions. Lingerie and footwear are the pieces I love splurging on. 

Isabel Marant sliders 

You can't go wrong with a pair of black sandals so I had to have these especially in the sale.

Stella McCartney lingerie set 

I love buying designer lingerie as it's so worth it especially when it's in the sale and not that much more expensive sometimes even cheaper than the high street. The lace is actually a really gorgeous neon purple but the picture doesn't capture it.

Adidas by Stella McCartney gym top 

Topshop Unique knitted crop top

I love that we sell Topshop Unique on NAP as I get my staff discount on it which is so good. This knitted crop I've worn quite a few times since I bought it as it can be worn with so many things - you can see it in this post here. 

BLK DNM boyfriend jeans

I actually got these for £27 from £140 - a price I couldn't even get jeans for in Topshop and well worth the money. Jeans are worth investing in for me as they're something that's worn all the time and you just can't beat a good pair of jeans, especially at this price.

What I would say that even if you aren't really one for designer pieces or they are just too expensive I think it's definitely worth taking a look on designer sites at sale time, especially at final reductions as you can get some wardrobe heroes at great prices.

Sale Buys - NET-A-PORTER.COM | MY-WARDROBE.COM | ASOS | ZARA | TOPSHOP

There's no better time of the year for me than when the sales start. As sad as this may sound, my life pretty much revolves around fashion and clothes. Looking good is a very big thing to me so getting bargains and more things for my money is fab. I got some high end and high street pieces. It's no secret that I work at Net-A-Porter (well I finished on Friday as I am off to Vogue!!) and they very generously give us our staff discount off of sale items as well, so of course I couldn't help having a little splurge.

NET-A-PORTER.COM

Kenzo Jumper

Unfortunately this jumper has sold out now, but it was 40% off at £102. The logo is sequins and it's actually a gorgeous shade of mint which the pictures unfortunately don't show up very well. 

Chinti & Parker breton

The heart print pocket on this breton definitely won me over. It went down to £45 (half price) and I class this as an investment piece because breton tops are timeless and I will wear it for years and years until it actually falls apart. 

Stella McCartney tank and J.Crew weekdays Tee

As mentioned in one of my last posts, I have recently joined the gym. I got this tank as I love allll of the Adidas Stella McCartney bits and I like to try and look a little bit stylish whilst I work out. The J.Crew weekdays top I had my eye on for a while and it went down to £28.

As mentioned before high end lingerie is something I always like to buy...especially during the sales as it makes it a lot more affordable.

L'Agent by Agent Provocateur lingerie set

L'Agent by Agent Provocateur is a design collaboration between Penelope Cruz and AP and I'm so happy I managed to buy a set as I'd been lusting since I first saw them at work being shot in the studio. I don't think there are many sizes left on NAP but House of Fraser online have the set as I had to buy my knickers from there as they had already sold out. The bra is £35, thong £18, and briefs £19.50 in the House of Fraser sale.

Elle Macpherson Intimates Safari set in pink.

Now this set was a serious bargain. The bra is down to £15 and the knickers down to £10 and that was without my added discount. You would pay more than that for a set from the High Street and this is a perfect every day set. 

ZARA

Top - £5.99          Shorts - £15.99

Top - £12.99

TOPSHOP

Top - £8    Jeans - £25

I was so happy when I found this bunny tee in Toppers whilst browsing at lunch as it had sold out pretty much straight away online. 

ASOS

Nike Roshe Runs - £49

 

With ASOS being the last sale to start I had pretty much spent all of my shopping budget so I was sensible (for once) and ordered the one thing I'd want for ages...some black Nike trainers. How cool are they?!

MY-WARDROBE.COM

Lulu & Co embellished flower Tee £35// Lulu & Co sweater £49 (both 50% off)

I don't have these pieces to hand to take a photo of them but these were my first sale purchase. They are both reduced even further now top £28 and sweater £24 - soooo cheap! Luckily they don't have my size left otherwise I wouldn't be very happy!

 

 

What do you think of my bits? Did you get lots of bargains?

May Haul

It's no secret that shopping is a seriously big hobby of mine and the only bad thing about doing a haul post is realising exactly how much I've spent on clothes/shoes in one month - oops!! 

Some of these bits you've probably already seen from outfit posts...

 

Tropical Platforms - ASOS// Nike Sliders - ASOS

The Nike sliders were an easter present from my boyfriend so technically I didn't pay for those ;) 

 Vintage shorts bought on Depop

 Garfield x Lazy Oaf Dress & Socks

 Crop top - Miss Selfridge

 

Stella McCartney lingerie set - www.net-a-porter.com

My picture really doesn't do this gorgeous set any justice...this set is £370 - a lot for underwear yes but it isn't actually a lot for a Stella McCartney set. I do get staff discount though so it made it a lot more friendly. If you designer underwear without this price tag then The Outnet is a greta place to look. I usually stick to buying mine from there, I just couldn't resist this one.

 

  

Playsuit - Topshop

 Sliders - Zara

Aside from the haul - I found out some really exciting news yesterday...I'm going to be working at British Vogue for a bit at the end of next month! Feeling extremely lucky!
