With the likes of Wildfox Couture, Truly Madly deeply and Lazy oaf (and of course many more) jumping on the band waggon in designing amazing t-shirts and jumpers it really hard to not be tempted to click that order button, and with the price bracket starting at £25 and reaching all the way up to £248 its quite hard to stretch the budget that far.
But with a little bit of research through Ebay I’ve found the perfect grizzly bear alternative to that Wildfox poncho that’s half the price of your month’s rent and still looks ultra twee!

With the January sales in full swing there are many great offers out there.. but, like always, being the kind, thoughtful and huge catch of a friend that you are you’ve spent all your money on treating the ones you love and probably.. ultimately.. people you hate (it’s always the christmas way), and don’t have anything to treat yourself with.
Fear not because this little selection of £10 and under hot to trot sale accessories is here to help boost your moral for the next few chilly months ahead without breaking the budget!
