My Top Picks for S/S10 under £40

When online shopping, my first port of call is VoucherCodes.co.uk to check whether there are any discount codes available for where I plan to buy from. Before now I've saved money at ASOS, and have printed off vouchers for 2 for 1 restaurant deals.

When they got in touch with me and asked me to pick 5-10 pieces that I think will be hot for 2010 I jumped at the chance. The catch to this was, that everything must be under £40.

Having had enough for winter, I set about compiling my picks for spring and summer. You'll notice a bit of a theme going on in the form of girlish pieces and nude colours and that's because I am head over heels in love with all things etheral right now.

So, here are my 10 and where you can buy them.

Skirt, £35 from ASOS

Dress, £38 also from ASOS

Shoes, £35 from ASOS again (I'm a bit addicted to browsing there!)

Bag, £35 from Marks and Spencer

Dress, £39.50 Marks and Spencer; they really have some great pieces in right now!

Floral Jacket, £32 from Miss Selfridge, I can see this being suprisingly versatile.

Shoes, £30 from New Look

Dress, £35 from House of Fraser

Dress, £35 from Topshop

Daisy sequined Cropped Tee, £28 from Topshop.

The hardest part of this challenge was narrowing it down, there are so many gorgeous pieces out there at affordable prices, which is good to know when you have little money like moi.

Right now there are loads of great fashion and beauty discount codes at VoucherCodes.co.uk including one from Office who currently have an amazing sale going on,
and you can save 10% on your next order at Oasis
I recommend signing up to the weekly e-mail which will inform you of the top 20 best codes so you never miss a bargain
(just don't blame me if you have to declare bankruptcy)

That first skirt is pretty interesting, particularly.

i, too, am obsessed with retailmenot (the u.s. equivalent it sounds like) for getting deals and free shipping.

Red Boots said...

I really love that House of Fraser nautical dress! I get paid tomorrow so I might have to pop in and have a little look...!! And maybe try it on...!! xx

Daisy said...

Some very lovely picks! I adore the daisy top but I think if I was to get it, then it twould be a little cheesy!

daisymay said...

Love your choices. Really love the first dress.

Laura said...

I love the daisy shirt !!!

Shopaholic said...

I always check out vouchercodes... spesh for 2 or 1 food deals.

I love your chosen pieces, every single one of them. The daisy crop top is gorgeous!!! but I can't really show off my belly now at my age!! might have to look at one for my daughter - she's called Daisy. When she was a baby all her clothes had daisy's on... I guess it was just the 'baby' fashion for some reason. x

mariska said...

indigotangerine said...

spring sounds so nice right now. I always get so excited by low prices on these sights then realize that the pounds to dollars conversion rate is completely depressing. The marks and spencers are my fave, what great art deco ish shapes.
