Does your bra fit? At the moment 1/3 of British women are wearing the wrong size, according to M&S. If you’d like to sort yourself out, pop into M&S during the Bra Fit event before 25th September.
Soozie Jenkinson, head of lingerie design at M&S said: ”Not many women know how a well fitting bra can not only improve their posture, make them look slimmer and boost their confidence as well as their assets!”
If you use the service and spend £30 on lingerie, M&S will give you a £5 voucher. Or, get the same offer online with voucher code BRAFIT11.
You probably already know this but I didn’t realise how much cute stuff there is in the lingerie dept at M&S until the other day when I spotted this:

This adorable set is almost sold out though, unfortunately. If you happen to be a size 28 D, this bra is only £5. The knickers are only £3 in 12 and up. Amazing deal if those are your sizes!

Richmond Habitat got in touch about the Spanish-themed shopping event they are hosting today between 5:00 and 9:00 p.m.
During the event you’ll receive 25% off any purchase plus there will be complementary wine and Spanish tapas served and a live Spanish guitarist until 8:00 p.m.
As lovely an invitation as this is, it is making me SO ANGRY at myself because just two weeks ago we bought floor lamps for our flat. They weren’t all that expensive in the grand scheme of things, but Habitat had just raised their prices. So the floor lamps, which had been on sale for 20% off two weeks before we bought them, were not only not on sale but they were priced HIGHER than before – £27 for the shade and base vs £20 previously and £16 on sale. I was already annoyed with myself for not buying them when they were on sale but now I’m REALLY annoyed because I’ve chucked out the receipt so now that there is another sale, I can’t buy them again and return them with the original receipt (which I guess is kind of a scam but I think alls fair when it comes to overpriced homegoods).
If you can’t make it to Richmond tonight you can still save 20% until the end of the month throughout the store or online with voucher code S1CVE. *bangs head against wall*
The lesson here, everyone, is to save your receipts. Obviously. God.
Anyway, here is the lamp (crap photo is due to my poor Paint skills). It’s the Suryo floor lamp base in Silver + Tipp small shade in Beetroot Purple. They tie our blue sofas together with my homemade pillows sewn with Jay McCarroll’s Habitat collection (no relation). Now if only I can do something about the drapes…

If you’re going to the Spanish party at Habitat in Richmond tonight, maybe I’ll see you there!

Today’s national Groupon is from Graze, who are offering the zillions of you detoxers out there four boxes for £5.50 (regularly £13.96). We’re in get-fit-no-drinking-salad-eating mode ourselves, so I might just sign us up. Graze is lovely but I suppose you have to remember to actually GRAZE the boxes and not eat the whole thing in one go as I’ve been known to do. Hmm. Sign up for this deal here.

Ikea is currently running a great offer – 3 for 2 on kitchen appliances. I don’t dare to even dream that we’ll be able to design our own kitchen any day soon but I thought that this was too good an offer not to share! Shop here. Sale ends 30 January.

Are you one of the zillions who rushed to the shops on Boxing Day? I wasn’t, but I can understand the urge. Even if you did get everything you asked Santa for for Christmas, there is sort of that niggling feeling that you might miss that one amazing deal if you don’t follow the crowd.
We did head to Westfield today to spend some vouchers DSD was given for Christmas but I didn’t squeeze in any shopping for myself beyond a couple of quick sensible purchases (tights at M&S, vitamins at Boots). I did feel the pull of Karen Millen, Reiss and French Connection but DSD was showing signs of extreme boredom and imminent meltdown when we finally did try to make a dash into Ted Baker so E could look at suits. Fortunately he found a matching jacket and trousers for half price (!) in his size just in time to get DSD an ice cream and keep the peace.
From what I saw today, there are still sales to be had if you are in the mood to fight the crowds and some terrifyingly dishevelled sales racks. Or just look on line. Here are a few sales worth a look:
Boden – Winter sale still on with cuts of up to 50%. A great buy is the Floaty Printed Dress was £85 now £33.
John Lewis – Sales at 30%, 50% and 70% off and you can sort by discount.
House of Fraser – Claims to be the Best Ever Sale with up to 70% off.
Gap – Totally mental in store but full of deep discounts online like this Party Skirt which was £39.50 now £14.99.
Ted Baker – Smart suits for men and pretty dresses for you at up to half price so if you need either of these things it’s a can’t miss.
Obviously this is just the tip of the iceberg! Happy shopping (and Happy New Year!)
