Everyday Leather Shopper Bag from Boden

I'm still loving that candy pink that's on trend this season and I've found some gorgeous ways to embrace this style subtlety on the Boden website - with a discount!  The code U008 will work to get 20% off selected items, plus free delivery and returns.

First, there's this everyday leather shopper bag.  It's a perfect size, a perfect colour and with neat compartments to store all one's bits and pieces.  Originally £110, it's currently £88 and an easy way to wear pink with style.
And why not team it with this card holder? Originally £15, it's just £12 and a perfect way to store one's cards and passes.
Both items also come in green, blue and silver.

Diana Coat from Boden

Amazingly, there are still plenty of items left in the Boden sale and, with up to 70% off, one can't really go wrong!  I'm quite amazed as usually, products in the sale get snapped up really quickly, so there is definitely still time to take advantage.

It is the perfect time to invest in a great quality winter coat and I'm coveting this wool blend 'Diana' coat in a rich ink blue colour. The shape is classic and flattering and will last season after season, without going out of style.  I also love the gorgeous grosgrain trim on the collar and cuffs, to give a pretty, unique embellishment to the coat.  It's been reduced from £179.00 to £152.15 which is 15% off.  Other colours are also available: black, forest green and sandstone, as well as a range of different sizes.

Leggings from Boden

I remember when leggings appeared after a couple of decade's hiatus, I was skeptical.  My main thought was: how on earth can a bad fashion trend from the 1980's be relevant or fashionable again?  But I admit, I was wrong.  The latest rendition of leggings is (in my opinion) fabulous and a trend that's here to stay.

However, a key point I would like to make is - they are not, on the whole, trousers.  They don't look very good with a crop top, or even a top that doesn't go past one's waist, unless one is a child or super-skinny.  Or a gymnast or dancer - I'll give that one.  But on the average woman, they should really be worn as footless tights.  Think shorter dresses, mini skirts or tunics.  They look great under those!  A second point is that they should be good quality.  See through leggings are simply horrendous, especially when someone doesn't wear a long top as advised above.....  I don't want to see anyone's pants or worse.  Length is also important, as shorter, calf-length leggings can often make legs look stumpy, so I'd suggest ankle length ones on the whole.

The best leggings I have found are from Boden.  They are superb quality, being thick enough to not be transparent and they don't lose their shape, even when washed.  They come in a great range of colours - black, light grey, navy and a kind of bluey-grey.  The fit is perfect too.  Although they are £22, I have found that they are worth it as they last far longer than cheaper versions aside from the quality.  And for this week only, customers can enjoy 10% off plus free delivery and returns, with new customers receiving a free gift, with code W002 (expires 8th September).
If that is still too expensive, the next best leggings I have found are from Monsoon and are £15.  Again, they are great quality and the fabric is robust, but I find the fit around the waist isn't quite as good as the Boden ones and so they aren't as comfortable.

Fantastic Footwear: Colourblock Points from Boden

There is 20% off selected, new season styles at Boden at the moment and I am coveting these navy blue and coral colourblock pointed shoes.  The flat heel means they will be comfortable to wear, but they are still chic and elegant enough to wear for work or a more formal occasion.  They could also be worn with jeans or a more casual skirt, so totally versatile!

The code Q248 for new season styles works till tonight, so hurry to take advantage!

Delightful Dress:Notch Neck Shift Dress from Boden

Get in quick - the Boden mid-season sale has just started and, if past experience is anything to go by, the best items sell out fast.  There are loads of fabulous, great quality clothes, shoes and accessories available with up to 50% off.

I love this notch necked shift dress which was £99 but is now £59.40 to £89.10 in the sale (depending on the pattern and size chosen).  I love all the patterns - spots, stripes, colour combos - it doesn't matter to me as they are all lovely!  The cotton and linen material combination will be perfect to keep cool when the weather improves and the style is classic and flattering.  A good range of sizes is still available - from 6 to 22 in regular and long lengths - but with Boden sales, there really is a need to snap up those bargains before they go!

Latest Discount Voucher Codes: Allsole, Boden, Urban Outfitters and more!

Here's the online voucher codes I've found. If you're going to use them via a cashback site, I can't guarantee the cashback will track, as they're not always compatible, so work out what gets you the best deal. Also, generally these only tend to work on full priced items, but it's always worth trying them with sale items - I've sometimes been successful!

Delightful Dress: Casual Pintuck Dress at Boden

The Boden up to 70% sale is now on and, even though it's been going for a little while, there are still loads of really gorgeous items left that will take you through into Spring - when it gets here - and even summer.  My favourite is this 100% cotton casual pintuck dress.  I can't believe it's available still in most of the original range of sizes and colours.


It can be layered as a tunic with a long-sleeved t-shirt and/or leggings and boots or worn as a dress with shoes or sandals so it's a versatile bargain!
