Is the cold snap getting you down?  Cannot get out to the sales?  Want to do some discount shopping online? 

I am getting cold sweats not being able to get out to the shops, the weather has me all a tizzy. Thank God for online shopping, I have found some great dicounts online and within days they are at my door. If you want to spice things up, try some lingerie from www.figleaves.com .  Looking for some household good or fashion, try www.littlewoodsireland.ie – I found some great bargains but one downfall with this site is that a lot of the clothes appear to be sold out. And we cannot forget the all important www.ebay.ie or www.ebay.co.uk.

Tip 2: Look like a million dollars but only spend a few

The trick is to look like you have spent a lot of money but in reality you could be wearing something a cheap as chips.  I bought a pair of cream trousers in Penneys about 5 years ago for only €20 and they are still going strong.  I have of course bought many pairs since both expensive and cheap, some in boutiques and some in department stores, but this pair seems like they will last forever. Dress them up with a nice top – spend a bit of money here so it lifts the outfit, a nice pair of shoes – maybe your seasonal Good pair (see tip 1),  and bag to match and you are good to go.
