BARGAIN OF THE DAY: Marc Jacobs' wish bone necklace
At the end of last year, Suzie of Bargainista Fashionista, wrote about the "Special Items" collection available at the Marc by Marc Jacobs store on South Audley Street in Mayfair. Being a fellow bargain hunter I couldn't resist a sunny afternoon stroll through Mayfair to the aforementioned store when I found myself in London last week. Wherein I discovered some really rather fabulous designer bargains!!
Check out this seriously lust-worthy wish bone necklace - yours (in silver or gold) for just £5!

This Week I Bought...
Last weekend the UK was bathed in beautiful sunshine and all I wanted to do was run out and buy lots of brand new summer clothes. Of course, I exercised a little willpower but after brunch with a girlfriend on Sunday, I decided that a couple of new things would be alright. Particularly if I found some bargains. And I did.
When in pursuit of value-for-money summer attire, I always make a beeline for H&M. Their summer collections never disappoint. You might remember that back while snow was still lying fresh on the ground in January, I was picking out my favourite things in their Spring Summer Catalogue?
Last summer, I spentweeks months searching for the "perfect" maxi dress until Very.co.uk very kindly gifted me this gorgeous patterned bandeau Rare maxi dress. Which incidentally, is the dress I wore for the aforementioned brunch.
I don't know about you but a bandeau maxi dress has just never seem appropriate for work, so my requirements for a maxi this summer are something that I might be able to wear to the office on a "dress-down-Friday". So when I saw this navy maxi in a slightly heavier jersey material, I knew I had found "the one":
For just £12.99 it ticked the bargain box too. Whilst there I picked up a hot pick long-sleeved cropped cardigan which I plan to throw on over my maxi dresses in the evenings when temperatures drop.
By Monday the UK looked more as it should in April; grey and a little bit drizzly. And I was on a train to Scotland, where I bought:
Postcards.
I don't know about you but I love receiving a handwritten card in the post and therefore like to bestow the same pleasure on friends and loved ones. So I spent a very happy morning sipping green tea and writing postcards in Palmerston's Cafe in Dunkeld.
So after all this shopping, I asked on Twitter, what did you buy this week? And here are some of your answers (thank you ladies!):

MAWI for ASOS
Yesterday morning I found myself reading a post over at The Taxonomy of My Wardrobe about the jewellery brand MAWI at London Fashion Week. I have always loved the brand's designs whenever I have spotted them but they are a little out of my price range. But Veshoevius pointed out that MAWI have in fact collaborated with ASOS for a more affordable collection - a collection made even more affordable by the fact that it is currently on sale.
So I took advantage of 50% and FREE next day delivery:
This is the ring that I purchased:
What do you think? I personally LOVE it! It is my new favourite cocktail ring bling.
