Using Twitter to search for maternity bargains!

I wanted to suggest three reasons why you should use Twitter to search for maternity wear bargains, as this week it’s proven particularly helpful in finding some amazing clothes at rock bottom prices.

1. Find out about events 

After my 12 week scan I started following brands such as Mothercare, JoJo Maman Bebe and Mamas and Papas on Twitter, as they post about new stock, outfit and nursery ideas and, more importantly, sale info. 

JoJo Maman Bebe are based in Newport and they recently posted that they were having a Warehouse mega sale, and so I popped in yesterday and found some serious bargains! 




Everything I bought was either £4 or £5 and so I got three items for baby and three items for me and the total was £27! 



I am not sure how often they have the mega sales but they do promote them on social media or you can keep an eye on this page of their website - http://www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/AFDajax.asp?action=detail&sitename=NEWPRT 

Nursery furniture, toys, maternity wear and and baby clothes were all available and there was an extra 50% off all the ticket prices. 

2. Find discount codes 

Most brands will post on Twitter when they are having a flash sale or discount code, for example this one ASOS posted this week:




They regularly posted across the few days it was active as the code was only valid for a limited time; 20% discount is worth taking advantage of, especially if you need to buy something specific like maternity jeans or occasion wear, which are not that bargainous full price.

If you're like me you sometimes miss the email sale notifications because you receive so much email spam, and so for me keeping an eye on tweets is the way to go - thanks to Sarah Gunn for bringing the one above to my attention! 

3. Find pop ups 

I have mentioned the danish pop up sale on here before, that takes place at The Corner in Roath approximately once a month. It was on again this weekend and they have been promoting on Twitter and Facebook for the last week, which helped me to remember it would be on. 

Louise and I both picked up a couple of bargains, with prices in there starting from £5. Definitely worth a look as there are cardigans and jewellery, scarves and bags for the pregnant among us and amazing regular clothes in a variety of sizes for everyone else.   




Keep an eye on their social channels to see when the next pop up is on and remember it is cash only (and you will want to buy everything!).

Spring Summer Shoe Edit

Image
"Sh, sh, sh shoe people" Does anyone else remember this theme tune or am I showing my age? I LOVED that show!  That's besides the point as this post is about spring / summer shoes. I know it’s early, and the weather isn't great, but I’m off on holiday soon so have been getting my ducks in a row and I have also found that if I see a good shoe at a good price and don't get them quick they often sell out, so here’s my edit of the sandals I think should be on your wish list if you need something simple, comfortable and stylish this season.   Leather weave sandals - ASOS £20 I lived in a pair of these when I was pregnant and because they were leather they quickly stretched and became unwearable the summer after so I was pleased to find these which are a little tight but still comfortable, so I feel they can take a bit of wear and tear and will still fit. I wasn't sure about the metallic at first as you can’t tell there are three different c

Last picks of the January Sales

Image
Having spent much of the last week awake, whilst our darling 17 month old is going through a sleep regression of mammoth proportions, I decided to make myself useful and see if there are any last minute bargains in the sales that we should all keep an eye on.  I've looked both for workwear and for summer wear, as if you have a holiday booked I would recommend that you pick up a few things now whilst they are cheap rather than paying full price the week of your holiday.  You all know that I am quite tight and don't like paying full price for anything and so sales time is my happy time, I have to say that I haven't had a huge amount of success this time around but that is probably a good thing as it is saying me some cash!  These are all high street and all available online in a variety of sizes as of today (9/1/18) ASOS  Red culottes - £10  I bought these and I love them! Thinking I will pair them with a blue breton or my new white and black Winging it top f

Holidays with a toddler and how IKOS resorts saved the day!

Image
We've now been back from Greece for just over a week and I am still pining for IKOS Oceania ! This post is going to have a little about holidaying with a toddler, a little about IKOS resorts and a little about my holiday outfits, hopefully some or all of that will be of interest! Be warned - my photos don't do it justice!  We booked our holiday to Halkidiki back in September/October as I was desperate to have a holiday in the diary, and I was super keen on this resort last year but didn't fancy the 5.55am Gatwick flight with a 9 month old, but this year was feeling much braver!  We booked with Kuoni , this is now the 4th holiday we have booked with them and we have never looked back. We know they are going to make the process of choosing and booking a holiday really easy and fun and we also know that when we get there the resort is going to be amazing. Kuoni also take care of everything, private transfers, car seats, travel cots, excursion bookings - EVERYTHING! They are
