There are lots of bargains to be found online when shopping for fashion. Stores and designers compete for your custom by reducing prices to an attractive and affordable level. Fashions change so quickly that it would be a shame to miss out on bargains by paying premium prices everytime a new range is released. You need to know where to look and how to source on trend fashions and this article aims to help.

Cashback sites

Cashback sites literally pay you for online shopping. Some sites will enter you into monthly prize draws so that you have the opportunity to win £500!

The cashback sites work by accessing the store you want to buy from through their link. You need to register on the cashback site and then search for the store you wish to buy from, if it is listed click on the trackable link and you will receive your award once a purchase has been made.   

The cashback sites make their money by affiliate and referral links.

Sales

Sales are highly publicised and can result in an almost “scrum like” experience as everyone tries to grab a bargain. Shopping at online sales is slightly less stressful but ensure you log into the site when the sale first opens as bargains go fast. Some stores such as next allow shoppers VIP access to sales, so that they can buy before the rest of the public. Sign up early and use the opportunity.

Often clothes, accessories and shoes enter the sale section of a website well before a sale actually occurs, this is when the real bargains can be found and you may find prices rise at publicised sale times. Check the sale section of your favourite websites frequently.

Alerts

There are websites that will send you a notification as soon as your sought after item is reduced. List clothes that you have your eye on and let the website do all the hard work by monitoring prices and alerting you of price drops.

Ebay

Ebay is full of bargains and there are facilities that are embedded in the site which will notify you when an item goes for sale that matches your wishlist. Often designer clothes sell out immediately after launch. If you’ve missed out, you may be lucky on ebay, as many people buy designer wear to immediately sell on. There may also be items listed by people who bought pieces that didn’t quite fit and they’ve left it too long to return it to the store.

Voucher codes

Huge savings can be made by searching for voucher codes that give discounts on your purchases. There are many websites dedicated to discount codes, so remember to always search before purchase. You may qualify for free delivery with a specific code, or you may be entitled to 20% or more of the total price!

Shop out of season

You may not buy an item that has just been released if you shop off season, but there are many bargains to be had, especially if you choose classic styles that don’t go out of fashion quickly. You may not feel like buying a bikini in October or a winter coat in July. but you will be thankful the following year as long as you remember where you’ve stored it!

I'M WEARING: Polka dot bodysuit - BOOHOO

Vinyl leggings - BOOHOO

It's been ages since the latest outfit post. My blog's been really dying and that's because it's hard to balance uni, work and blogging. But I found an hour to take some pics with my newest items from Boohoo which are so cool. I styled this polka dot bodysuit with these berry vinyl leggings plus the aviator inspired glasses and the very 80's earrings. What do you think about the vinyl leggings? would you dare to wear them?

Love,

Victoria

This year's theme was “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” And these are the best looks in my opinion. Completely slayed! Some of the worst looks includes: Kendall Jenner, Miley Cyrus or Kylie Jenner. Gigi was pretty boring comparing to last year. 

Which look is your favourite?

Travel is fantastic, and there's so much to be gained from flying far and wide and visiting different parts of the word. You get to meet new people, experience new culture, foods and do things you wouldn't have got to do otherwise. However that's not to say that more humble getaways can be overlooked, and often we're so busy planning our next trip abroad that we forget to appreciate what's right under our own feet. A camping trip is cheap and cheerful and a way that you can enjoy the surroundings of the country you call home. There are plenty of other reasons too, here are just a few of them.

You Can Spend Time in Nature

Hiking, orienteering, fishing, bird watching and just being outdoors can be incredibly refreshing and give you a new lease on life. We spend so much of our time cooped up inside, stuck working on computers or hibernating away watching Netflix in our spare time. When you go camping, it gives you a chance to get outdoors and enjoy some natural surroundings.

It's Fun for Everyone

Camping is suitable for most people, meaning it's a great way to get all of the extended family together. Invite your brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles. Let your children run around and play together. If you go at the right time of year it won't be too cold or warm, plus you could always ditch the tent and stay in a campervan, caravan or RV instead. Use a generator to power lights, heat, air conditioning or appliances as you need them, if you're looking to buy now there are plenty of places online that sell them.

It’s Inexpensive

When you go travelling, there's everything from flights to transfers to consider, airport parking, luggage fees, hotels and much more. When you go camping you avoid most of these costs. If you already have an RV, caravan or campervan then it's a good way to put it to use, otherwise they're far cheaper to hire than a hotel stay. You can drive to a nearby campsite saving on costs and you don't need money to eat in fancy restaurants. Stock up at the grocery store and you can cook big pots of food over the campfire for all of the family, barbeque meat and much more. It needn't cost much at all, and yet you won't feel like you're in any way going without as it's still a wonderful experience.

It Teaches You New Skills

Camping can teach you all kinds of skills. From pitching tents to building fires, cooking without the modern appliances and some general outdoor survival techniques. You could even learn how to set traps or fish depending on your location and the laws in place. It's generally a chance to live life, be active and get up and do things without a screen in front of your face!

How do you feel about camping? Will you be pitching a tent or staying in a caravan at any point this summer?
