Bloggers Christmas Sales statement jewellery

Sale shopping divides the nation: some people love it and are out of the house at 5am ready to grab some bargains, whereas others hate it and would much rather lie on the sofa, reach for another mince pie and wait for all of it to blow over. 
If you are in the first category we know how the sales can feel, we've all been there! You're hot, stressed, maybe a little bit hungover (sue us!) and being hurried along with the crowd. You end up grabbing lots of impulse buys that you love at the time, but you can look back and feel a bit deflated. Did you really need another festive jumper that you can't wear for a whole year? 
Never fear however, this year can be different...amongst the madness there are some true bargains to be had and we thought we'd lend you a hand to make sure you make some purchases to be proud of this year.

First we're going to start with beauty/bath/smellies. You can never regret buying toiletries. The best places to head for some real beauty bargains in our opinion are Lush and Boots- both stores often put up to half price sales on many of their festive gift sets meaning there are some great bargains to be had. 
We know you may have been given mountains of smellies on Christmas Day but this shouldn't prevent you buying more! You can either keep all of your finds for yourself, meaning you can bathe in luxury all year round, or split up the gift boxes to bulk up friends and families birthday presents throughout the year. Who doesn't love a little Lush gift on their birthday? 
Also, another top tip, if you really want a bargain head to Boots early and find the fragrance counter. Not only do Boots halve the price of many of their 3 for 2 gift sets, they often give a good discount on their fragrance gift sets too. A girl can never have too many bottles of perfume can she?

The trickiest are of the sales to negotiate in our opinion are the clothing and accessories. Usually the most stressful area of the sales and the place easiest to impulse buy. 
The one and only tip we can offer is to keep it classic. Splurge as much as you like on classic items such as jeans, little black dresses, heels and coats. Try and stick to neutral colors than can work well through the seasons instead of prints and colors that are 'in' now. 
The same goes with jewellery, statement pieces are here to stay so it can be great time to pick up a good bargain. Stick with colors that will work well with your existing wardrobe, such as black, white and clear gems. Also look out for simple pieces in silver and gold that can be worn everyday!

Technology is the area that can cause the biggest (and most regrettable) impulse buys. Now, we know its exciting when you see an 80 inch 4D Supersmart HDLED TV reduced by £100 but it does not mean you need it. Unless you were planning on buying it before the sales, then by all means carry on. The sales can be a great time to save cash on big electricals you were planning to buy. Big discounts are great, but think carefully before you buy, you probably wouldn't buy these items on impulse on a normal day so don't do it now!

But do remember, New Years sale shopping is meant to be fun and one of the traditions of the British festive season, so if you love something buy it! If you can't splurge and treat yourself at Christmas and New Year, when can you? Tweet us at @shoptaupepearl to tell us what bargains you're looking out for!!
