ShopStyle

Pinch and a punch its the 1st of the month!

Whoop-de-doop its Friday again. The weeks are flying by it will soon be Christmas!

So todays fashion Friday i thought i would share an online shopping tip.

You know when you need something, say for instance a dress for a wedding or a new pair of boots? You will spend hours looking on all your fave websites searching and searching till you find something or don't find anything?

Well a fab website is www.shopstyle.com

You can basically search through hundreds of shops on just one website and narrow down your choices by colour, price size etc! 

The thing i like about it is it may show up items from shops i may not have looked at or heard of and it saves so much time and effort. 

Theres not just ladies fashion on there theres a whole heap of stuff like menswear, kidswear, homewards, beauty etc... Its really useful.

There is also an app available too you can download to your smartphone.

Add it to your favourites bar now lovely peeps!

Have a fabulous Friday

Organisation is Key!

Good Morning Campers!

How many of you have bought at least 1 christmas present already?

I start collecting all year - which means i'm organised but also means i always go over budget as i forget what i've already bought! Especially when i'm out and i buy another present for someone i've already bought one for! I'm so bad when it comes to my children - i buy them bits then feel guilty they haven't got enough so impulse buy without actually realising what they already have!

I have 36 people to buy for - the woes of having a big family! And i'm a present perfectionist in the fact that i love people getting gifts i know they are going to love!!!

So this year i downloaded 2 christmas list apps and i've been testing them out against each other to see which one i prefer! This way if i'm out and haven't taken my list i know that its on my phone!

App 1 = Gift It - A Christmas Shopping List App £0

This wasn't for me! It's got some good reviews but its not user friendly and its a bit messy looking and when i'm organised i like things to be neat and precise! Its good but its not great!

App 2 - No More Socks £0

WOW this app is simply the best!!! Its sooooooo good!!! You can add people from your contacts, add pictures, set budgets! Add their birthdays and you get reminded 4 weeks before hand! Its very very clever!!!

I love it - love filling it up with what i've bought and ideas i have rather than trying to remember them! Its so user friendly and easy!

You can add retailers to the gifts you buy so you can remember where you bought it from incase you need to return it! You can also browse shared ideas! Its sooo good! You can lock the app with a passcode so no one can snoop like i would haha!

I'm addicted!!! And its an all year round list and its free!!!!

Start adding your contacts and their birthdays now - go go go

Happy Sunday

Holiday Shopping

Whenever i go to Spain i'm drawn like a magnet to the shops!! La Canada is our local mall and its shopping paradise!!

As this is Toddler Tuesday i thought i'd do a little round up of a couple of the goodies i bought my little stars!

My favourite shops for children in spain are 1. Zara 2. Mayoral and 3. Massimo Dutti, I go to all different stores around Andalucia and love getting all different goodies!!!

 

These 3 items are from Zara 

I love this Burberryesque Mac! Jealous! 

I love Zara for the children - the sizes are good and its not expensive and the girls shoes are amazing!!! 

(the boys are not so).  I don't think ive ever been in Zara kids and not bought something! Much to Nicks joy! 

This Hoody is Zara - I think Rocco will look very cool in it! The shorts are Mayoral and some neon Converse! I love converse x 

So Rocco is now climbing out of his cot and so its mission big bed and that means finding new bedding!!!! Hooray!!!! One stop at Zara Home and they are set! I love stars!!! John Lewis were doing a lovely navy and white star bedding set but i think thats a bit grown up for Rocco - Baby Blue as hes my Baby! Mummys Boy Alert!!!

Rocco can't have new bedding and not Honey!!! Honey is still in her Cot Bed but we are going to be buying them both a single bed in this next few weeks so i wanted her to have lovely bedding! Miss Sienna has this bedding too - its so girly and fabulous 

We are going to get them both these day beds from Ikea Hemnes Day Bed.  They are £260 each but they are a single, double and got storage so its a win win! They will last them ages! And honestly i couldn't find any other ones i really liked!!! 

Holiday shopping is the best shopping!! Airport shopping before holiday is the best shopping!! Childrens bedroom shopping is the best shopping!!! 

Shopping is the best! I love Shopping

Love J x
