Flocked Bird T-Shirt from Warehouse

Cobalt blue is one of the colours for Spring 2014. It's eye-catching, striking and looks amazing with almost all skin tones and hair colours.  It works with clothing, jewellery, nail polish - anything!

The sales right now provide a good opportunity to find some key pieces in this colour at bargain prices.  I've spotted this flocked bird patterned top in the Warehouse sale.  It's a simple top, but the subtle bird pattern prevents it from being boring. It's versatile enough to be worn with anything for a casual, daytime look; I think it would be perfect with shorts and sandals.

It's still available in sizes 6 to 18, reduced from £26 to £15.  Delivery is normally £3.99 but free when you spend £75 or more using code FREE75.

Nifty Knitwear: Intarsia Jumper from Joules

There's nothing like a cozy jumper as the weather turns and Joules have a fantastic selection at the moment.  My favourite are from the Intarsia collection, which have all sorts of cute animal prints on them.  There's seven different versions for women and it's so hard to choose just one - so I have picked a few that I love the most!  They will all look fab with jeans, perfect for a casual, restful day or a walk in the country.

First up is this navy and white striped jumper with a bluetit motif.  Stripes are always great and the bluetit is unique and makes it really interesting.

Then there's Mr Fox on a sage green background.  Less subtle than the bluetit, I think Mr Fox is sophisticated and suave!

Finally, again a sage green and perfect for Christmas is this duck patterned sweater.  Look!  They have Christmas hats and scarves and everything - so cute!

Other animals are a dog, French hens, a partridge and a Christmas dog.  Simply sweet!  Each of these jumpers is £69.95 but, until the end of today, Joules are offering a discount code as follows:

• AFT20 - £20 off orders over £100
• AFT30 - £30 off orders over £150

Nifty Knitwear: Mantaray Bird Jumper from Debenhams

Discount voucher codes are nearly always time-limited so it is worth keeping an eye out as to what's available and shopping accordingly to ensure the savviest savings.  I apologise that I'm not able to keep my voucher page updated as often as I would like but I do do my best, I promise!  Right now, Debenhams are offering 10% off orders for 48 hours only - so that's today (19th) and tomorrow (20th August) - with the code BC66, so it's definitely worth having a look to see what they've got.

There are a lot of new season products, and I really like this grey bird print jumper by Mantaray.  It's got a lovely blend of materials, including cotton and angora, to make it super soft, warm and cuddly.  Pair with jeans for a casual, daytime look for autumn - but I also think it could be worn to a less than formal day at work, paired with a smart skirt or trousers.  And look how happy the model looks with the jumper - she's super chuffed!  It's available in sizes 8 to 20 and is £38 or £34.20 with the discount.

Delightful Dress: Maxi Dresses from Yours Clothing

Maxi dresses are a wardrobe staple for the warmer months, but they could also be worn when it's colder - just team with a great denim jacket for an offbeat, pretty look.  And what better time to stock up on maxis than the end of summer sales, especially when so many companies are slashing their sale prices even more.

Yours Clothing has been having a sale for a while, but there is now a further 20% off sale prices so there are some real bargains to be had.  They've got quite a few lovely maxi dresses and I've picked out two that I especially like.  The first is this mint green bird print dress.  The colour is lovely and the print feminine and delicate.  The shape, with the elasticated, cinched waist and flared skirt, is flattering and it will be so easy to wear.  Originally £35, it's been reduced to £19.20 but unfortunately it's only available in a size 16.

The second comes in a better variety of sizes and is a fantastic colour combination and shape. It's this feather print maxi dress in fuchsia pink, yellow and turquoise.   The empire line flatters most shapes and will make the most of the bust!  And the colours are simply stunning.  It's available in sizes 20, 22 and 30-32 and again, has been reduced from £35 to £19.20.

Terrific Top: Parrot Print Vest from A|Wear

One can never have too many tops, which is why I love finding lovely, great value but still good quality ones whilst researching this blog!  This cotton parrot print vest top from A|Wear is really fun.  The tropical parrot print is delightful and on trend, taking the style from simple to sublime.  Throw on over jeans or shorts with some sandals for a quick and perfect Summer outfit.  This top is just £11 and comes in sizes XS - XL.

Delightful Dress: Trollied Dolly Rock N Rollers Summer Dress from Spoiled Brat

One of the great things about doing this blog is finding lesser-known online boutiques that stock unique and wonderful clothes and accessories - but still provide great value for money.  Spoiled Brat 'has a passion for fashion and a love for celebrity clothing' and stocks a great range of exclusive and beautiful clothing and accessories.

This royal blue 1950's inspired seagull print sundress by Trollied Dolly is simply divine.  It will work for all occasions, such as barbecues  weddings and garden parties - or just to go shopping!  The cut and style will flatter all over, from the neckline with the bow, to the cinched waist and flowing skirt.  It could be worn with wedges or pumps and look great - just add a pair of sunglasses for summer chic!  It's normally £52, but Spoiled Brat have a voucher code for 15% off that expires today so it's £44.20 - use BANK15.  

Delightful Dress: Sugarhill Boutique Flamingo Midi Dress from Rock My Vintage

Rock My Vintage is a fab online store selling original vintage pieces, as well as more modern, vintage-inspired clothing and accessories.  It's easy to shop by style, brand or era so simple to locate any gorgeous items that you are after!

I love this 1940's inspired flamingo bird print day dress in navy from the brand Sugarhill Boutique, available in sizes 10 - 14.  It is flowing, feminine and flattering, with its cowl neck and contrasting patent pink belt.  The pleated, longer length skirt makes it graceful and elegant.  It will look lovely for a summer wedding with some nude heels or it can be glammed up with some brighter ones for an on-trend colour clash!  It's £58 from Rock My Vintage, but with the code RMV8 there's 8% off until the end of the year, making it just over £50.
