Special Guest at Quidco Cashback Boutique

You may have noticed over the last week some P.S. additions to my posts speaking about tomorrow’s Quidco cashback boutique event.

For those that don’t know

A store with a difference – where customers are paid to peruse – is set to open for business alongside high-street titans Argos, The Body Shop, Debenhams and Vodafone.
Landing in Rathbone Place at 9am on 28th June, just yards from the nation’s most famous high street Oxford Street, the Quidco Cashback Boutique is set to attract queues of shoppers hoping to get their hands on some free money.

This high security, retail experience will go down in history as the only shop in the world where consumers can literally pick up free money. From clothes rails of cash to live mannequins draped in dosh – shoppers will enjoy a shrine to free money.

The pop-up experience marks the next generation of Quidco’s revolutionary mobile app that will pay shoppers for simply entering their favourite high street stores, including household favourites such as Argos, The Body Shop, Debenhams and Vodafone.

The newest Quidco app is set to transform the high street: shoppers simply download it for free, check into any of the 70+ signed-up stores and receive cash into their Quidco account. Users are literally paid for stepping into their

Users of the app must take four simple steps to receive cash for checking-in:

1.       Download Quidco app to smart phone
2.       See nearby check-in stores and amounts
3.       Enter store, check-in and bank the cash
4.       Share shopper experience via twitter or Facebook

The excitement at the Cashback Boutique will be heightened by the recruitment of a celebrity store assistant. TOWIE beauty  Lucy Mecklenburgh, also known for running her own shop, Lucy’s Boutique, will man the tills and greet hundreds of excited customers.

Lucy’s Boutique also joins the likes of Debenhams as yet another fashion retailer to join the Quidco check-in revolution.

If your planning on heading to the event, taking place tomorrow 9am-1pm at Rathbone Place, off Oxford Circus then don’t forget to visit the Quidco website and download the quick and easy App (or you can do so in the queue!)

Do let me know if you pop along, I was hoping to attend myself as I’m a long time Quidco fan, but sadly work and living far from London makes it not possible.

Tee and Biscuits

Launched in London in 2012, simply put, The English Tee Shop is “all about English”
Made in England using fabric manufactured in England, we fuse the English language with fashion to give you an easy-to-wear collection of luxurious printed tees that really do speak for themselves. Our hand finished prints pay homage to language and serve as a cheeky reminder of things that are sometimes overlooked in our use of English.
Offering a new take on the basic wardrobe staple, The English Tee shop is a love affair of fashion, English, simplicity, heritage and laid back luxury.
We are a supporter of British manufacturing and pride ourselves on using British suppliers for all our materials.

2012 is the year for all things British, and these Tees from brand new company English Tee Shop are perfect for the occassion.
Costing £55 each they may not be the cheapest of basics, but dammit, I think they are worth every penny…they certainly tick all my boxes (quirky, independent, 100% British)
My personal favourite is the last one “To a Tee”, how about you?

Check them out on their website  or follow them on Twitter at @EnglishTeeShop

Shopping the Sales: Stanwells

Lazy Sunday’s just beg to be spent trawling the online sales, especially ones that I really, really can’t afford (er, hello late night Mulberry drooling)
Today’s target is Stanwells, a designer clothing boutique that I don’t think I have mentioned yet on the blog; although I have shared their little sister Stanwells Re-run before now.

 Here’s what caught my eye this fine day…the appearance of some sunshine may or may not have influenced my picks somewhat!

1. Doucia Strap Wedges by Robert Clergerie, £255.50 down from £365

2. Collette by Collette Dinnigan dancing birds skirt, £136.50 down from £195.00 (I want this SO bad!)
3. Carpreena broderie anglais dress by Diane Von Furstenburg, £237.50 down from £339.00
4. Hoss Intropia chiffon maxi dress, £162.40 down from £232.00
5. The much coveted by many Ash Bowie wedge trainers, £98 down from £140.00

Have you taken a look at Stanwells lately? Their sale range is HUGE and their entire site is full of covetable pieces.
What’s your favourite sale item? For me it has to be the dancing birds skirt.

Daisy Chain Dreaming: Dresses at USC

It wasn’t that long ago that I last featured USC on the blog, but here they are again with another drop of amazing new arrivals, specifically drool-worthy dresses! I seem to go through phases, wherever I shop, of not seeing anything I like for weeks and then BAM, I have several lists dedicated to all kinds of cravings.

1. Abandon Valencia Lace Dress, £40

2. Abandon Winnie Print Dress, £45

3. Jolie Moi (who I’ve raved about before) Galaxy Dress, £40

4. Vero Moda Alice Dress, £35

5. Vila Paint Print Dress, £20

Oddly, I think the paint print one is my favourite, perfect for laid back weekend days like today!

Which is your favourite? Have you shopped at USC lately?

Selfridges Sale; my picks

Summer sale season has started, my inbox has been ambushed with “shop now” and “massive savings” type messages and I’m finding it hard to resist.

The Selfridges Womenswear Sale was one I really, really couldn’t resist and probably, out of all the sales I’ve browsed through, the only one with things I’d actually like to buy (if I could afford it) because I love them, not because they are reduced as is so often the way.

My top four picks (I don’t know why four, it just seemed like a good number!)

1. The Adventure Swimsuit by We are Handsome, £63 instead of £210 (hello saving!)

2. Beverly dress by Acne, now £95 (was £220)

3. Squiggle Hobo Bag by Vivienne Westwood, £202

4. Mandy Retrol slim leg jeans by Citizens of Humanity £75 down from £215

These pieces won’t hang around for long, and sadly I can’t afford any of them right now…but let me know if  you grab a bargain, be it from Selfridges or anywhere else…go on, you deserve it!
