A Busy Spring

It's been a while since I've posted due to work and leisure commitments but I've continued to shop online when ever I get some spare time.


Good to see my little shopping companion, Cubalaya, continue to develop new and useful tools to help me shop by launching a series of Buying Guides
http://www.newswiretoday.com/news/18394/ . I don't need any help with clothes but I actually found the buying guide on Televisons very useful as they seem to involve so much technical jargon these days.


Marks and Spencer have been very busy since launching their new site with numerous discounts and clearance sales. I guess they are either doing really well and can afford to offer great deals or are doing badly and need to clear stock. However I read an interesting article in one of the broadsheets claiming that they want to increase market share online so worth keeping an eye on the site as more great offers may be forthcoming. I see today they have a free delivery offer on anything over £30 but I'm sure better offers will be coming soon!


The most exciting new shop I've found lately on Cubalaya is http://www.joebrowns.co.uk/. I just love there casual bright easy to wear anytime summer ranges and the pricing looks excellent. I love the Summer, the perfect excuse to renew half my clothes.

Marks and Spencer Launch New Site

It appears www.marksandspencer.com launched a new look website at the end of last week. It's an exciting time to be an online shopper as retailers seem to be moving their online offerings forward to respond to the growing demand. As for the new M&S website I think they have made good progress in making it a little more lifestyle driven. The search seems to work well as I quickly found a bold print tunic I've been looking for as part of my must have Spring/Summer look. I'm not so sure about the animated introduction when I logged in, fun the first time but may quickly become ittitating. Also I found the black borders very heavy going and not sure it fits in with their image. However a great step forward and an excuse to buy my new tunic, suppose I'll need some new shoes and maybe a bag now.....
