A Parcelgenie Giveaway!

Hooray! To celebrate our review of Parcelgenie, (that can be found here), and in honour of my birthday this week, we're having a quick and fabulous giveaway! The prize is a voucher code that can be redeemed for a free Parcelgenie gift of your choice -exciting! 

Parcelgenie gave In The Review three of these codes to further test out their app (for the review), so we used two for ourselves and Parcelgenie agreed that we could use one for a giveaway! I quote, "giving is the largest part of what we think is good about Parcelgenie" (and I tend to agree).

Some thoughts on Parcelgenie (from our review):
"I think it’s the perfect solution to gift-giving when you want to make someone in your life’s day a little bit brighter (or when you forget an important date!)."

"I think it has great potential to be something that’s hugely successful (mainly by adding some more gifts)."

"What I like about this app is the huge benefit of convenience. You order, they wrap it and send it out in the post, and you can order from anywhere (providing you have internet access)."

So for the first time ever, we're going to test out Rafflecopter! (And, we'll also be reviewing it on In The Review - so keep an eye out!).

Also, in celebration of my birthday, I went and created a little Parcelgenie message card showing off the awesome 30% off discount code that we also received to share!  (This is an example of the birthday message design).




For anyone not able to see the discount clearly (the 1 looks like an I), it's: 'F9E1G4'. 

Good Luck!

Savvy Sales Clothing Round Up

Shopping the sales is a great way to get more for less, and there are always items that can be bought that you can wear all-year round.

I've put together a little list of some great sales happening now:

Jack Wills - Up to 70% Off Sale - Ends 7th August Midnight

Although a brand that's expensive to update your wardrobe with, I personally think you can feel the quality in their clothes, and saving money doesn't have to involve buying from cheaper shops, you can still buy the brands you love, but at a discount.

Chiara Fashion - Sale from £1

I've never purchased from Chiara Fashion before, but I am signed up to their emails because I do like some of their items and they always have great sales! There are t-shirts at around £3 to £5 each, and there are pages of dresses, jackets, and shoes all for under £10 each.

Martine Wester - Rings from £3 - Bracelets from £5 - Necklaces from £5

Martine Wester has a range of lovely costume jewellery, although I've found the quality is similar to the high street. They are worth their price on sale though, and if you like sparkles and shine, I can only recommend their rings!

TK Maxx - Final Clearance - Up to 80% off RRP - Kidswear from £2

A TX Maxx clearance sale always gets me excited, I've had some amazing bargains from their instore clearances (including some £1, and £3 finds), and I got some fab toy discounts online last year. There's womenswear from £4, menswear from £5, and kidswear from £2!

Get those Savvy savings!

Very Fashionable Festival Wear

I received a lovely email a couple of days ago asking if we'd like to get involved with promoting Very's festival capsule collection with a competition entry (the prize is V Festival tickets). It sounded like a fun opportunity because I love putting outfits together, so I've created my 'ideal outfit to wear to a British summer festival' and I'm just about to let you know all about it. (It also inspired our first topic yesterday of the financial benefits of a capsule wardrobe!).




Very will be at V Festival this year (August 18th and 19th) as the "Very-Official Fashion Partner Of V Festival", and to help get you kitted out for it, they've released a festival capsule collection that can be purchased at V Festival! For those of us not attending, we can still order them online (although they're going fast).

My outfit incorporates four products from their festival collection:

Very Fashionable Festival Wear

Although I usually hate animal print, I really like this Love Label mac! As it's waterproof and being that we're in the UK, there's always a chance of rain, so I think it would be perfect. It also has the ability to be folded into it's own pocket, which is hugely useful.


I personally find shirts really comfortable to wear, and I think a shirt (that fits) always looks good. I really like the ombre design and I think this would look great at a festival, especially during the evening, because the studs would twinkle like stars with the stage lights!


I think the white shorts compliment the shirt really well by continuing with the ombre pattern. I think shorts to a festival is a great idea to keep you cool and comfortable. To be honest these shorts would probably be too short for me, but if the mac's worn loosely over the top, that would add more length.


I simply had to choose these fab wellies after owning a pair of Ju Ju branded glow in the dark ones (we've actually reviewed these here), because I think they'd work in the same way. I think they'd be great for a festival, because they'd protect your feet from the weather, they'd add a lot of fun to the outfit (with the pop of colour), and when it gets dark, all eyes are on you!


If you want to buy any of these products or want to see Very's festival capsule collection, you can do so here: http://www.very.co.uk/festival-capsule-wardrobe/e/promo/22300037.end

P.S. This isn't a sponsored post (and I don't want to win), I just thought it would be fun to get involved with and as always, I'm being honest about it. Hope you found it interesting!
