(London) I went to the Temperley Christmas Sample Sale yesterday, all the way in Notting Hill on a bitingly chilly night, but the trek was definitely worth it. Prices of gorgeous and trademark Alice dresses were priced at £70-£100, marked down from £300+. Leather jackets, skirts and trousers were between £100-£300, marked down from the thousands. Basics and sweaters were priced between £60-£150. I saw a gorgeous Spring coat for £80, lined and all with gorgeous gold buttons but my bank conscience and the disproportionate number of jackets and coats I have in my very tiny wardrobe (five in total… and totally unnecessary) stopped me from buying it at the final pay point. I bought a modest tunic instead with a striking buffalo print for £25. Machine washable and perfect over leggings and boots (my winter uniform) I think I made a wise choice.

Here are some photos from the sale as well as my steal!

(London) Alexander McQueen is hosting another sample sale, to the extreme pleasure of myself and all the other sample sale addicts in London! The last sale that I attended and reviewed here was fabulous and the deals were exceptional. Most gowns were £500+ but there were many goodies around £50 like sunglasses, t-shirts and select accessories. This time, you may need an invite but printing the image below out might work.
