Cashmere Mix Cardigan from Planet

This week, until 9th March, Planet are offering 20% off everything on their website.  It's a great time to stock up on some classic, quality wardrobe staples and there is also a great selection that would look super chic for the office.

However, I've gone for something a little more versatile and casual, but luxurious, in this champagne coloured cashmere, merino wool and viscose mix cardigan.  Elegant and timeless, it can be thrown over anything to look stylish and feel super soft.  I also like the diamanté buttons to give it a little sparkle!  It's normally £99 but with the discount (that's automatically applied at the checkout) it is £79.20.  It's available in sizes extra small to extra large.  Gorgeous!

Alpaca Wool Blend V-Neck Cardigan from UNIQLO

UNIQLO can be relied on to produce some great quality wardrobe staples at really good prices.  Knitwear often contains cashmere, merino or alpaca and other clothing uses cutting edge fabrics and technologies.  It also does some great collaborations with designers, such as this recent one with Orla Kiely.

I love this alpaca wool blend cardigan that is soft, light and elegant. Its sleeves and bottom are slightly ribbed, which prevents it from being dull.  It's shape and length means that it can be worn with almost any casual outfit - I'd wear a camisole vest top underneath and team with skinny jeans and ankle boots.

Originally £19.90, which I think is fab value anyway, it's reduced to £14.90 in the sale.  It comes in wine (pictured), cream, light and dark grey, black and green in a variety of sizes.

Louche Hender Fluffy Jumper from Joy the Store

As ever, there are loads of incredibly gorgeous items for Autumn and Winter from Joy the Store.  Knitwear is always a good bet for this time of year, and they have several pretty and warm fluffy jumpers to choose from.

I've picked this Hender pastel pink, cable-knit jumper as my favourite at the moment.  I think the colour is lovely and will brighten up a dull Autumn's day.  A cable-knit pattern will never go out of style and the relaxed yet slim-fit means that it will look great when layered over pretty much any top.  It can be worn with jeans, a scarf and boots for classic Autumn style or dressed up a bit with a skirt and some flat shoes.

This jumper's £42 in sizes 8 to 16, but Joy have an offer at the moment where customers get a free cardigan with spends over £75 or new customers can get 10% off first orders when they sign up to the newsletter.

Jaeger Metallic Stripe Breton Jumper from John Lewis

A cute Breton striped shirt or jumper is a classic.  However, I do find that the standard black and white stripe is a bit clichéd and looks a bit like it ought to be paired with a beret and a necklace of onions.  So it's often good to go for something a little different, in varying colours, like this Jaeger jumper available through John Lewis's clearance offers.  I love the sparkly, metallic stripes which are quirky and attractive - but not too obtrusive.  I'd wear it with skinny jeans, a scarf and flat pumps for a chic, Parisian look (without any onions or berets!) but it could be smartened up with a blouse underneath and skirt.  Still available in all sizes (small to extra large), it's been reduced from £120 to £75.

Terrific Top: Daisy Fest Lennon Sweater from Wildfox Couture

The weather may be cooling, but there's always a place for a pretty, floral top.  Of all people, I spotted Paris Hilton wearing this gorgeous daisy print top which is available from Wildfox Couture, an American vintage-inspired women’s clothing brand which combines great style and unsurpassed quality. Semi-sheer and soft, it will look perfectly pretty teamed with jeans for a gorgeous, everyday look.  Or dress it up with a maxi skirt and heels, like in the picture.  Just add a simple strappy vest top underneath - unless one is super-brave!
Until 25th December, customers can get 10% off first orders by subscribing to the Wildfox newsletter, reducing this top to £229.50.  Delivery is free.

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.

Nifty Knitwear: Teacup Jumper from White Stuff

I love White Stuff for its dresses, tunics and knitwear. They are great quality, fit really well and are perfect for daytime casual wear.  They've just launched their sale where there is up to 30% off, so it's well worth taking a look, and fairly soon - White Stuff sales do tend to sell out quite quickly.

There are loads of gorgeous jumpers and cardigans which will be ideal for when the weather turns - I don't think it's going to be too long before that happens, unfortunately!  I think this cream and pink/purple flecked jumper is lovely and is perfect for autumn.  It's simple, classic shape and neutral colour means that it will go with almost any coloured bottoms - but I think it would be superb with jeans and knee-high boots.  It's an acrylic/wool/mohair blend, so should feel soft and warm to wear.  It's still available in sizes 14 to 18 and has been reduced from £49.95 to £39.

Nifty Knitwear: Relaxed Fit Wool Blend Jumper from Jigsaw

There are so many amazingly gorgeous items available in the Jigsaw-Online sale right now - everything from office staples to casual chinos to silk dresses with up to 60% off.  My mind is heading towards autumn, so I've been focusing on their knitwear.  There is a good selection of high quality, linen, cotton and/or wool blend jumpers and cardigans so definitely well worth a look.

This AW13, I'm thinking comfy and slouchy knitwear and this light pink, relaxed fit, wool and cashmere jumper fits the bill nicely.  It could be worn casually with jeans and a patterned scarf or paired with a blouse and smart skirt or trousers for a relaxed office look.  It's been reduced from £89 to £59 and is still available in sizes medium and large.  Alternatively, it comes in cream, in sizes small to large.

Nifty Knitwear: H! by Henry Holland Cream Mottled Chunky Knitted Cardigan from Debenhams

Just for today, Debenhams are offering 20% off full-priced items by designers H! by Henry Holland, Rocha, John Rocha, women's Red Herring and Star by Julien Macdonald items with the code TL73 (oh, and men's shoes too).

Now, I know the weather seems to be improving but it is still changeable, which is why a cardigan is always such a great item to have tucked away.  I love this cream with multi-coloured flecks one by Henry Holland.  The dashes of colour turn what could be a rather drab, simple cardi into something a bit more lively that can be worn whatever the season.  Worn over a plain t-shirt with jeans and pumps, it creates an easy, everyday outfit.  Normally £45, with the discount it's £36 and is still available in sizes 8, 12 and 16.

I love this unique lightweight stripey jumper with a mesh panel and peter pan collar.  It's perfect for spring with its gorgeous pastel pink and white colours and short sleeves and will look fab with a skirt or shorts.  Available in sizes S - L (4 - 12 UK) it's normally £14.75 which is a bargain even without the discount!

Nifty Knitwear: Poppy & Stone Spot Jumper from Mint Velvet

There's lots of lovely items in the Mint Velvet sale, and I am quite taken with this cute spotty jumper that's been reduced from £55 to £39.  Polka dots are still on trend and the lightweight material of this jumper means that it will take you very nicely into spring.  It will look fab with skinny jeans or even some denim shorts if the weather behaves!  It's available in sizes 8 and 12-16.

Delightful dress: Tiny Tom Dress from White Stuff

You will see that I am very partial to a fantastic dress, especially those that can be layered to suit whatever the weather may bring.  White Stuff are having a sale at the moment and I do love this knitted pink, purple and white Tiny Tom stripey dress that is currently reduced from £55 to £39.


Available in sizes 8 - 18, it will work with tights or leggings, a long-sleeved tee underneath or a gorgeous cardi on top.  And the colours are just so pretty!
