Lifestyle Bazaar

Personal Shopper has had enough of the rain, the premature darkness, and the overtly Christmassy shopping out on the street. So this week, she’s staying inside.

UJ Loves

Sample Sales
So you love your sample sales, check UJ regularly for the best upcoming events, and yet still find yourself stuck behind your keyboard. There’ve been online sales sites before Secretsales.com & Catwalktocloset.com, but at a time when UJ’s feeling the Membership buzz (it’s coming kids) , we’re loving Cocosa.com, an invitation only members site featuring amazing online sales from the likes of Christian Lacroix, Matthew Williamson and Zac Posen, with great discounts, clothes that don’t look like they’ve crawled out of a discount bin, and a personal diary for you to keep events bookmarked. The lovely people at Exposure are giving you the opportunity to join as a founder member through Urban Junkies; simply type in ‘founder’ in the invitation box and you’re ready to shop.

Psssst!

Lounge Lover
Now, seeing as you’re going to be spending some serious shopping time at home, you’ll need some quality loungewear; which is where Lounge Lover comes in. No, not the hipster East end haunt, but the easy chic collection of super soft and wearable clothing range from Belgian designer Sylvie Gabriel. Think yummy cashmere blends in neutral colours and fashionable styles; leggings, tunics, pullovers, wraps and the all-in-one jumpsuit.

Get them online from net-a-porter from the 5th and never leave the house again.
