Great Jeans: Hilfiger Denim Sophie Skinny Jeans from Isme

There's still time to take advantage of sales; another one I have spotted is from online catalogue company Isme.  They are offering up to 60% off their branded fashion products and 70% off other items too.

I think these Hilfiger Denim Sophie zip hem skinny jeans are great for the transition into autumn.  The floral pattern is delicate and feminine, but not too much so that it is twee.  I also like the fact that the ankle hems have a zip - makes life that much easier I feel!  They'd work well for summer with light coloured pumps and a vest top or team with ankle boots and a jacket when it starts getting cooler.  They're available in sizes 8 to 16 and are £48 to £52.50 depending on size (reduced from £80).

Splendid Skirt: Denim Skirt from M&Co

I've been searching for a decent denim skirt for a while now - one that's a classic, stylish shape, an indigo colour, a modest length and a good price.  A super skirt like this will work for most daytime occasions, paired with a blouse for a smart/casual look or a simple vest top for a laid-back, easy style. It can be worn with any shoes also - pumps, heels, wedges - but I'm planning on wearing it with a simple t-shirt and my Converse!

I found a lovely one at Boden, but it's pretty much out of stock and is fairly expensive for what you get, even with a 10% discount code.  So I was really pleased to find a similar one at M&Co.  It's a pencil skirt but there is enough give in the fabric and a slight flare to ensure a good, not too tight, stylish fit.  The colour is a perfect indigo blue and the high waist keeps everything in nicely!  It's £24 and comes in sizes 8 to 22.

Until 14th August, new customers can get 20% off at M&Co with the code FIRST20 (making it just £19.20); alternatively, after that, there's 10% off (making it £21.60) for a while for new customers with the code FIRST10.  Delivery is just £1.  So all in all, this makes this skirt a real quality, good-looking bargain!

Summer Staple: Denim Shorts from Gap

Denim shorts are most definitely a Summer staple and Gap have a fantastic selection of them at the moment.

I particularly like these Gap 1969 destroyed sexy boyfriend shorts.  The ripped detail makes them a bit edgy, almost with a rock-chick vibe!  They will go with anything, so can be worn casually with a vintage t-shirt and sandals  in the day or dressed up with a sparkly top and heels for night.  They are perfect festival and beach wear too.  If the ripped look doesn't suit, there are non-ripped versions too in different colours.

This week with Grazia magazine, which is only £1 this week, there's 30% off at Gap with a code inside - so definitely worth getting if you're planning on shopping online or in-store at Gap!  And, of course, if you miss this offer, there's always the 15% off if you sign up for their emails.

Wardrobe Staple: South High Rise Supersoft Skinny Jeans

A well-fitted pair of skinny jeans is a wardrobe must and will work throughout the year with all sorts of outfits.  I find that it's important to look for a pair that has some give in it to produce a good fit, so look out for jeans with an element of stretchy material such as elastane.

I particularly like jeans by the brand South, which can be found through online catalogue sites such as Very, Isme and Littlewoods.  They fit really well and are available in a range of different sizes, leg lengths, colours and rises - personally, I prefer a high waist and I really like these supersoft skinny ones.
