How about a little bit of bargain shopping on a Sunday with part two of my sales gossip series. Lots more brands have gone on sale since my last post so lets get started on my edit of the best bargains around right now!

Baukjen - One of my favourite brands for many years but one I haven't shopped from at all this season so I am taking a look with fresh eye's but find myself drawn to old favourites and would highly recommend the summer jogger pictured above if you are looking for an investment piece. I bought two pairs in February 2013 and to be honest I have worn them so much I am surprised they haven't fallen apart! So comfortable, these joggers make for the perfect loungewear but I have been known to wear them out with trainers or ankle boots and a trench coat, just love them! The Asymmetrical Jumper has also been a winner, bought two a couple of years ago and they are still going strong, they look fab with the joggers and are great for layering! Shop all sale here.

Boden - 40% off 40 items should be enough to satisfy you bargain hunters until the real sale gets under way. A couple of my favourite pieces are featured in this promotion, the Printed Beach Throw On (kaftan) that I wore in Marbella, want another, just can't decide which colour and the Lola Top pictured above has long been on my boho inspired radar. I also adore the Nancy dress with it's palm tree and villa's in the sunshine print. Perfect for holidays and I defy anyone to put this on and not smile! This great offer is for four days only and I don't know what day it started so don't hang around! Shop the promotion here.
John Lewis - Up to 50% off fashion and furniture promotion. Now this isn't John Lewis's full blown summer sale, just the brands that have already gone live like Ted Baker, Jaeger, Mango, Hobbs Whistles etc so the perfect way to pick up your favourite pieces if your size is already sold out on the brands own website or if you are doing a John Lewis order for other things. I have the Kin dress featured in my orange post the other day sitting in my basket, let's hope my husband has had a good Ascot! Shop womens fashion brands on sale here.

Karen Millen - Before Teen Boy was born this was my "go to" destination for dresses. I had a store near my office in London and had a vast array of their dresses hanging in my wardrobe. I would probably struggle with the sizing now but I still kick myself for not buying that Leopard Print Coat last spring, I think of it often, it fitted but was so expensive, although this gorgeous duster coat could be this years alternative at a great price. You will find the best reductions on shoes and bags, some amazing styles and there are a couple of tan leather handbags that are a worthwhile investment. I featured the dress above for all of you with great figures, plus I saw this on a lady at the races whilst watching the Channel 4 Ascot fashion feature the other day, a complete bargain at £65. Shop all sale here.

BHS - now don't switch off your sets, there are some fab pieces to be picked up where you least expect them and I'm not talking Light Fittings! My top buys would be the denim shirt reduced to £9.75, the Ivory Crochet Dobby Blouse reduced to £17.50 and the black embroidered Kaftan for your holiday reduced from to £15.40 also available in white.
Not on sale but in need of a mention because they are so cheap anyway are these totally amazeballs "zaraesque" sandals for £25 and this on trend chambray shirt dress to wear at home with the "zaraesque" sandals or as a swimsuit cover up on holiday for £16.

Great Plains - French Connections little lesser known sister and another favourite of mine from a few years back I haven't shopped from for a while. I find their sales are usually really good with some major bargains like these gorgeous printed trousers for just £19 which are simply stunning and will work for day or evening.
