Ekata Tweed Blazer by Malene Birger from Atterley Road

There are lots of lovely designer clothes, shoes and accessories in the Atterley Road mid-season sale, all with up to 50% off right now.

Structured jackets are great for the changeable Spring weather and I love this cream tweed blazer by Malene Birger.  The colour combination means that it will go with almost everything, but the beaded embellishment and trim prevents it from being ordinary.  It could be worn for work, over a shift dress and with courts - or wear it with skinny jeans and ankle boots for the day.  Originally £345, it's now £244 and available in sizes 10 to 14.

Hermione de Paula Miriam Lace Midi Skirt from My-Wardrobe

So many sales, so little time! The My-Wardrobe sale is always great and there's currently up to 80% off a superb range of brands and products from designers such as Preen, See by Chloe, 3.1 Phillip Lim, MSGM and Joseph.

I love this luxurious silk lace midi skirt by Hermione de Paula. Simple yet chic and elegant, it adds an element of class and style to any outfit.  It could be worn with tailored classics, such as a crisp blouse and courts for a smart office outfit. Or it could be glammed up with a colourful top and accessories and some killer heels for the evening. Perfect!  Originally £743, it's been reduced by 75% to £185.

Alexander McQueen Satin Knuckleduster Box Clutch from Covetique

I've just found UK online store Covetique which buys and sells pre-owned designer clothes and accessories.  Customers can sell their items - and they collect free of charge - or buy them at a discount from the site.  Brands featured include Chanel, Christian Louboutin, Hermès, Jimmy Choo and Burberry, with up to 90% off.  Being preowned, items won't be necessarily perfect but the site make the condition of the product very clear.

Being pre-owned, items will be one-offs and specific sizes, but it's definitely worth having a look at the gorgeous items available.  I love this Alexander McQueen box clutch with its knuckleduster ring detail.  On first impression, it's quite subtle but then one spots the jewelled skull detail and delicate Swarovski crystals to give extra edge and elegance.

The original RRP for this is £1,165 but is £550 from Covetique.

Best of the Sales: Van Mildert

Van Mildert stocks some fantastic, designer brands and so when there's a sale, it's definitely worth having a look!  I was simply perusing and noticed that it sells one of my favourite designers, Vivienne Westwood, and lots of her pieces are in the sale with a hefty discount.

I've put a few of my choice pickings on the new site, but my absolute favourite is this Anglomania Sea Monster tartan pencil skirt.  It's got the plaid trend all sewn up but the zany sea monster, hearts and stars pattern makes it edgy and fun.  And of course, a pencil skirt is always flattering and gorgeous.  Team with killer black heels, a black top and funky jewellery and look amazing.  And to top it off, the skirt is on sale with 40% off its RRP of £249 - it's down to £150.

A Great Cause: Think Pink at Debenhams for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Debenhams have got loads of products where a proportion of the sale price will go to various charities through their 'Think Pink' initiative. The ones that will benefit are Breakthrough Breast Cancer (45%), Breast Cancer Campaign (45%) and Pink Ribbon Foundation (10%).  I've picked out a couple of my favourite products to highlight and first up, is this pink and grey striped onesie.  Made of a comfy, snuggly fleece, it's got a zip fastening and a super soft white hood lining.  Perfect for cuddling up during those upcoming cold evenings - or during the day, even - it's £25.

Next, I love this dark pink Rocha, John Rocha floral t-shirt.  I love its pretty embroidered and sequin embellished floral motif and a twisted neckline.  It's also got the pink ribbon on the hemline.  This top is £26.

Finally, there's not just clothing but homeware too.  I love this pink spotty scented candle, which will brighten up any room and smell sweet too!  Apparently it smells like home baking - yummy!  It's £10.  There's also a powder blue one, that smells like fresh laundry.

There's over 30 items, including underwear, bags and wellies, so do have a look to see what can be bought to benefit these worthwhile charities - you know it's worth it!

Alexander McQueen Enamel Skull Bracelet from Liberty London

Skull prints and patterns are still very much in fashion.  However, I do find that sometimes they can be a bit over the top, being too 'scary' or simply inappropriate.  Done correctly though, they can be simply charming, cool and edgy.

I have been coveting this Alexander McQueen skull bracelet from Liberty London for ages it seems, although I suspect it only came out a week or two ago.   It's the sort of thing that one can wear with any outfit, and I'd be tempted to wear it for a formal meeting at work to be a little bit cheeky!  The price tag is £145 but for a limited time, there's £30 off £150 or more spends with the code WOMENSAW13 so add this and some lovely stationery to your bag and save!

Divine Collaboration: Issa for Banana Republic

Banana Republic have just launched a fab collaboration with Issa, a designer label best known for developing gorgeous jersey wrap dresses worn by fashionistas such as Kate Middleton and Nicole Richie.  In keeping with Banana Republic heritage, the designs are inspired by safari - so think leopard print, zebra print and tropical colours.  Launched just yesterday, its popularity means that the range is selling out fast - so do have a look!

My favourite pieces are the dresses and this zebra print, ponte dress is excellent.  The fit and flare style is flattering and elegant, and the style and pattern means it's perfect for any occasion in the summer.  The neutral colours mean that it can be paired with a colourful bag and sandal wedges and look gorgeous!  It's £85 and is still available in sizes 4, 6 and 12 to 18.

I also love this tan and brown leather envelope clutch bag - which would also go with the dress and be perfect for the office!  It's £79.50 but the quality is amazing, the style is classic and it will last season after season.

As ever, new customers can get 15% off purchases just by signing up to the email mailing list, so do take advantage.

Splendid Skirt: Louche Cindy A-line Skirt from Joy

Say what you like about Victoria Beckham, I don't think it can be denied that she's come a long way from her Spice Girls days and developed into a respected (and in my opinion, talented) fashion designer.  Her dresses are gorgeous, flattering and feminine but unfortunately are out of my price range!

The item from her SS13 collection that I've been coveting is a bright orange a-line skirt.  Victoria's been spotted out and about in this skirt a couple of times now - as part of a suit to give a fashion talk and with a neutral top when out with her daughter.  I love the vivid tangerine orange which is summery bright and cheerful.  And an A-line skirt is always flattering, pulling in the waist and disguising the upper hips and thigh but still flashing enough leg to be fun!

I've found an equivalent skirt from Joy the Store.  Whilst it isn't top-class designer, and it's a cotton blend as opposed to silk and wool, it's still stylish and great quality and is reminiscent of the Victoria Beckham version.  I would pair it with a tucked-in cream or white blouse for simple, sophisticated chic; for day I'd wear flat pumps and switch to some killer heels in the evening.  Available in sizes 8 to 14, it's been reduced from £32 to £20 in the sale.

What are your views on Victoria Beckham as a designer?  Do you think she's a worthy designer whose styles can be emulated?

Fantastic Footwear: LK Bennett Nina Peep Toe heels from Zalando

Zalando are currently running their designer sale, with reductions on a huge range of designer women's and men's clothing, shoes and accessories. There's all sorts of labels in the sale such as Michael Kors, Orla Kiely, Missoni and Sass & Bide and items are up to 70% off.

I love these LK Bennett peep toe heels, which are reduced from £195 to £100 and available in sizes 4 to 9. The unique floral pattern looks hand-painted and it reminds me of beautiful Chinese blue and white porcelain.    I'd wear them out to dinner or for an evening party, but they would work equally well for a wedding or similar. Simply divine.

Just for Men: Jeff Banks Designer Pink Pants for Breast Cancer Campaign from Debenhams

Normally, I focus on women's items for the blog, but in this case I am making an exception.  Pink pants for men!  They've been designed by Jeff Banks for Debenhams as part of the 'Think Pink' range in aid of Breast Cancer Campaign. 

I'm not sure I really need to say much more except - pink pants for charity!  There's 20% off at the moment as part of the Debenhams Blue Cross event - so they are £8 as opposed to £10 - but I'd be inclined to donate the difference.

Beautiful Bag: Mischa Barton Hebden Grab Bag from The Hut

The Hut is an online store that has all sorts of branded and designer goods and offers fairly frequent discounts and deals, so it's a good one to watch.  I have spotted this Mischa Barton Hebden grab bag in camel which has 20% off until Wednesday with the code MISCHA. Fusing form and functionality, it's a lovely, classic colour and style and could be used for casual occasions or work.  As well as the grab handle, it also has a shoulder strap, which is always handy.  It's got purple lining too which makes me happy!  With the 20% off, it's £55.20, reduced from £69.

Beautiful Bag: Modalu Mandarin Pippa Grab Bag from Masdings

Masdings has just launched its mid season sale, with up to 50% off many designer brands.

This luxurious Pippa three-compartment grab bag from Modalu London has been reduced in the sale; it is simple yet classically elegant.  Made from nubuck leather, it is sumptuous and will add a touch of vintage charm.  It is available in a great range of colours including black, nude, coral and grey (sale prices ranging from £146.25 to £168.75) but I am quite taken with this fab mandarin orange version, which will liven up any outfit.  There are also lots of pockets, zips and compartments, making it ideal for keeping everything organised.  Canny city chic at its best!

Delightful Dress: Tabitha Webb Fashion Targets Breast Cancer Summer Blossom Dress from my-wardrobe.com

I can't help but highlight this pink silk and lace floral shift dress, available from my-wardrobe.com, as it's another Fashion Targets Breast Cancer beauty.  The colour, tangerine blossom print, cut and fabric is luxurious and irresistible; there is nothing about this dress that I don't like - including the fact that 30% of the £285 price tag goes to the charity.  It is perfect for all occasions and will take you seamlessly from day to night.  I suppose my only gripe is that it's not available NOW, only for pre-order, but once ordered, it will be dispatched as soon as it's available.  It can be ordered in sizes 8 - 16.

Summer Staple: Ted Baker Jaynesh Tuxedo Tailored Shorts from House of Fraser

House of Fraser are currently in the middle of their two-day brand event, both online and in-store, meaning there's up to 25% branded products until midnight on Friday 26th April.

I have had my eye on these mint coloured Ted Baker tuxedo shorts for a while to take me into the summer months but, at £109, the price was a little scary despite the quality.  However, with the 25% discount from House of Fraser, this is reduced to £87.20.  The tuxedo tailoring is classic and the front pleats should flatter the thighs.  They can be tailored with a simple t-shirt or blouse or made a little more edgy with a funky vest top.  These come in sizes 6 - 14.

And oh look!  There's a matching 'Jayne' jacket, also with 25% off, so they can be worn as an amazingly chic outfit to the office when the weather improves!  Stylish, savvy, canny and chic.  What more can you want?

Terrific Top: Lulu Guiness Cat Print Top for UNIQLO

I know I've only recently done a UNIQLO post, but how amazing is this Lulu Guiness designed cat print top, available for just £12.90?  Perfect print, perfect collar, perfect cut, perfect material (100% cotton) and perfect price!  It's available in sizes XS - L and in white, as shown, or black.  Gorgeous!

Divine Collaboration: Celia Birtwell for UNIQLO

Celia Birtwell is a textile designer specialising in unique, striking and feminine designs.  Successful in the 60's and 70's, she's had a massive comeback with her vintage-inspired prints and has collaborated with UNIQLO to produce a gorgeous and reasonably-priced collection.  

Items still available include cotton/modal mix t-shirts at just £12.90 The prints are all fab, but I like this floral horsey one, which is fairly neutral but still pretty.  It's available in sizes XS - XL.

This spotty dress is available in mint green (shown), black or navy in sizes XS - L and has been reduced from £29.90 to £19.90.  This could be worn as a dress or over leggings or jeans.  

And finally, these patterned leggings are fantastic.  They are available in cobalt blue (shown), teal or navy blue in sizes XS - XL and are £14.90.  I would wear a fairly plain long top over them with ballet flats but you could be more creative and avant-garde by combining clashing, flamboyant patterns!

I'm very impressed with this collection, not just because of the range of items available and the superb prices, but that there is so much that is still available.  I find that often, these limited edition collborative collections sell out so quickly, so hats off to UNIQLO for ensuring that this isn't the case this time!
