A further 30% off sale stock at Forever New

I'll tell you why I love Forever New.

Firstly, because their quality is pretty good for their price point.
Secondly, their price point.
Thirdly, their sizes haven't strayed into 'vanity sizing' territory so most of the time I actually fit a 6.
Fourth, for the rare times a size 6 actually is too big, they have a size 4 which is tiny beyond tiny.
Fifth, they have free shipping and their online shopping and delivery processes are so easy!

I can normally be found over at asos.com but on the rare occasion I buy from an Australian retailer, most of the time it will be Forever New.

At the moment they are having a further 30% off their sale stock, so I picked up a few items I've been eyeing.

 Bella peacoat - $48.97

 

 

Beth Raglan tops - $17.47 each

Sequin sweat top - $34.97

They had website issues this morning I assume due to the high volume of traffic but it's been better this afternoon.

SALE: Forever New, Priceline, Peter Alexander, Forcast, Target, Saba, Pilgrim, Glassons

Oh my gosh Australia has suddenly exploded with a million sales going on...

Forever New has 24% off storewide (including sale items) til 6pm today.  Get on it.  I did - this was the result:

I know there's an unusually high number of black items, especially for me!

If you haven't heard about the Priceline sale, you might be living under a rock with no access to the world wide webs.  It's 40% off ALL cosmetics.  Cr-zazy.  I was restrained.

My HG top coat, Essence peach glitter nail polish for one dollar something, L'Oreal bright pink gloss to replace my current one which is old, and also bought an Australis Glitter polish yesterday

Peter Alexander has 40% off selected items, ends 7pm tonight.

Forcast has an extra 40% off sale items.  Prices as marked.

Von Follies (Dita Von Teese's line) at Target is all at least half price.  I didn't buy anything because frankly I don't need anymore underwear and I rarely never wear nice/fancy lingerie these days - it's all about comfort and cotton for me!!

In the spirit of Anzac Day, Asos has 20% off storewide with the code TWOUP.  Get on that stat.

Harrods is having 10% off storewide this weekend if you are a Harrods Rewards member.  Free to sign up. 

30% off storewide at Saba.  Nothing left in my size :(

Pilgrim has a further 30% off sale items ending tonight.

and lastly 20% off storewide at Glassons.  They also have $50 off coats and a sale section like everyone else.

Boxing Day sales haul

I didn't actually buy that much during the Boxing Day sales but given I wasn't intending on doing ANY shopping I guess I did shop a bit.

I visited Bourke St Mall, DFO Southbank, Melbourne Central and Chapel St. I'm taking the following with me back to Sydney:

Top left: Marcs 3/4 blazer in hot pink
Tracked down the last size 4 in Melbourne and trekked out to Chapel St to get it.  So glad Marcs does a size 4.  Shame on you Cue for making huge size 6s and no size 4s.
$159 down from $250

Top right: Forever New grey marle tank with fuchsia piping
Again, thanks Forever New for making size 4s.  Clings nicely but not too tight.
$5 down from $20

Bottom left: Peter Alexander bunny jumper
Bought for my animal fanatic sister.  It's made of merino wool which will keep her nice and warm in winter.
$39.98 down from $140

Bottom right: Pilgrim lace skirt
Size 6 as Pilgrim hasn't adopted vanity sizing yet, which is nice to see.  Long enough that I can wear this skirt to work, but fancy enough that I can wear casually.  I love the lace print as it's quite unique, and the way the bottom layer peeks out is really cute.
$50 down from $120

All up I spent $255 when retail for these items was $530 so very happy with myself.

It got unexpectedly cold last night in Melbourne so I had to wear the Marcs blazer when we went out for dinner.  The only footwear options I had were Havaianas or Dunlop Volleys (for Falls) so I wore thongs with a nice blazer haha.

The pink piping on the tank matches the pink blazer really well:

Signing out for now, about to drive down to Lorne.  See you next year everyone!!
