Fit, Fashion. . . . Flab-u-less!

Welcome to the weekend my Savvy Savers and what weird weather we are having. I realise that being British brings with it a rather unhealthy obsession for weather based conversations but i am embracing it and stating 'WTF!' - there is a typhoon out there, my only hope of making it out to do the sopping today is in a canoe and darn it i sold it in my last yard sale!
Anyway that aside, something to put the sunshine back into Saturday a corking combo of fitness and fashion with the icing on the fat free cake being a saving :) Let me break it down (in a completely British and upstanding manner of course!) I have ben doing a bit of research into these trainers that 'burn calories while you walk' and 'tone your butt' - love the Yanks, sell, sell, sell and a gusto for all gimmickery. You too may have seen the advert in which Km Kardashian sashays around in her Sketchers which have this amazing technology for an imbalanced sole that makes your core muscles work harder when you wear them. They sound good, very good in fact, so i though i would give them a try - but then alas i find that £120 is not just expensive, but down right ruddy ridiculous! For that i could join a gym and have some new stilettos for a night on the tiles - so Kim, you can take your Sketchers and shove them . . . well up you Kardashian o be honest! And so i have found some alternatives, and not just alternative in price but in look. These are black, sequined flip flops with the same technology in the sole for toned tushes and cost a mere £20 and are brought to you by the Adonis of the bargain world - Avon (yes not just for pretty faces ey?!) And so i have been wearing mine for 2 weeks for tasks such as doing the food shopping, walking to work, round the house etc and not only have i received comments on how good they look, i have a noticeable reduction in he orange peel of butt clinging doom (cellulite - say it quietly and it doesn't exist la la la can't hear it!)

And what is more - drum roll please . . . . drum roll . . . .oh sorry no drum roll, the drummer has been swept away in the ensuing downpour, his only hope being a fallen tree to stem his flow . . never mind, this needs no fanfare it stands alone in a glory all of it's own making - they are going to be just £15 next month!!!!! Yes i know - A-MAZ-ING. Should anyone like to purchase any and join me in the fit and fashionable flab-u-less adventure please email me at flisshilton@hotmail.com and i shall grant thine wish Fairy Godmother style. Please have a look at them on

Boohoo - Cry me a river of savings!

Ladies and Gentleman welcome to Tuesday and what a fine Tuesday it has been so far - as Tuesday's go that is. You see i have a bit of a theory that actually Tuesday is the poor relation of the week. When the weekday family get together they all have something to bring to the table. Monday - is a fresh beginning with anything possible, Wednesday is half way through the working week giving you hope you can make it to the end, Thursday is a day of jubilation as Friday looms, Friday is the - who gives a sh*t kind of day as the weekend is soooo close, Saturday is gloriously free and Sunday is homely and family time - but Tuesday what does it bring to the party - big fat sod all stuck in the middle with you, that's what  . . . . so as Tuesday's go, today was not a bad one ( no Tuesday's were harmed in the making of this blog).

And as if things were not already looking up my afternoon was filled with boohoo, and not the sad face 'my boss hates me and the world is against me' boohoo, but the online fashion central 'my life is a catwalk and the world is my paparazzi' kind of boohoo. Yes chicks and chaps boohoo.com is the legendary online fashion store where you can get your glad rags for less than a dish rag (almost!). So when i discovered this nifty and oh so thrifty little discount code : EXCLUSIVE Free delivery when you spend £30 or more at boohoo.com, plus Clearance Sale now on (Enter Code DISCO30)
I have to say life got somewhat sunnier. Yes here on the Costa Del Bargain we deal in this kind of currency and speaka the lingo of  simple, sound savings.
So have a look, get some trendy threads and have them delivered for Nowt - if you feel really bad about this sensational saving, you could always ask the delivery man in for a coffee . . . . if he is tall dark and handsome that always helps with the decision . . . . i find.

So enjoy the rest of Cheerful Tuesday and i hope the half way house that is Wednesday brings you sun, smiles , savings and a hot delivery . . .  (man) ;)

A Right Royal Saving

And so, as the sunlight draws in on this most regal of Bank Holiday weekends i find myself swept up in the romance of it all. The wedding was quite simply beautiful and a good advert for us Brits - no-one but no-one does organisation like the Royals. After i had finished crying, more at Tara PT's satellite dish, sorry hat than anything else i found myself feeling most gratified at what a great day it has been for the Royals.

But enough of this fairytale and back to reality and that reality is, that with all this stunning sunshine and more bank holidays than you can shake a Middleton at (how many of them are there??!) the cash stash is starting to run lower than Princess Anne's jaw line (apols HRH - please do not have me sent to the tower)! But a girl has to look good and i do not feel that my winter wears can be in anyway tinkered, tailored or even candle-stick makerred into anything remotely summery. So what to do . . . . .David Emmanuel is on holiday (good job really 25ft of train was really the worst plan since Coleen Rooney said how about doing some community work at the local Residential Home Wayne . . .  ) And so to the hight street with minimum funds - but wait . . . you knew i wold not let you down . . get thee to the newsagents and prosper say i. Seriously shell out £1 for the news of the worls, flick past the 8,000 pages of royal cheshire cats, super injunctions and topless folk (and that was just the after party Harry) and open Fabulous magazine, the lovely little glossy in the middle of the paper et voila page 43 and 20% discount off anything at New Look. 20% is a darn fine saving in anyone's book, unless of course it is the book of being unimpressed by any form of saving, there would be a definite issue there!You have 1 week in which to exchange this little voucher for your little slice of summer and enough left over for a Cosmo or three on a sun drenched evening.
I shall be spending mine tomorrow after i have been for a run - yes i am still at it and can now get down the road in a fashion far from that of the baby foal which graced the pavements just a few short weeks ago.

Have a wonderful evening bargainistas - spend wisely and remember we are all princesses at heart xx
