EARN YOUR SALE STRIPES.



Our love affair with stripes a fashion perennial holds fast.  Acne, Mulberry,Vanessa Bruno, and a host of other designers made it their firm favorite for SS14.

Stripes will always be an investment buy, and I have trawled the sales, showing you how to get the look for less. Oh and a few of these may have accidentally found their way into my shopping basket too, I like to think of it as an occupational hazard.

  6. I am so obsessed with all things stripes so naturally, I want all of this, especially the pants and dresses! I've slowed down buying "summer" items, but with all the deals right now you don't have to spend much, so...more money for fall clothing, boots, etc my favorite season to shop, I just wished it was colder here to splurge on some coats :)
