Chasing bargains,[url=http://duveticaitaly.albirank.net/][b]Duvetica Shop[/b][/url]
I like nothing better than investigating foreign labels when I go away and France and Spain have proved very lucrative, yielding some of my favourite 'guilty pleasures'.
In la belle France, I always make a beeline for the Marithe + Francois Girbaud shops, where the full range of innovative clothing and cutting-edge black separates,[url=http://parajumperssale.webmium.com/][b]Parajumpers Jackets On Sale Parajumpers Parka Coat Online Store[/url], so beloved by yummy mummies, has made this label a firm favourite in Ireland. Other favourites include Antik Batik, the ethnic-influenced label created by the globetrotting Gabrielle Cortese, and then there's Chantal Thomass lingerie and extremely sassy hosiery, which never fails to add that 'oomph' to sedate black pieces.
In Spain, I fell hopelessly for local labels such as Hoss Intropia, which is not cheap,[url=http://parajumperssale.webmium.com/][b]http://parajumperssale.webmium.com/[/b][/url], but you can justify buys from here because of the pieces' sheer wearability and value on a cost-per-wear basis.
Imagine my sheer delight when I found these favourites along with the big Italian designer names lined up together at outlet shopping malls outside Paris, Madrid and Barcelona. Yes, I know, I should really ease up on the retail therapy when I go away and take in a little local culture and cuisine, but in these credit crunch times the quest for good wardrobe bargains is always to the forefront and I like bagging bargains with up to 70pc off the original recommended retail prices outside the traditional sales times.
My head was full of Mickey and Minnie Mouse when I first discovered La Vallée Village. Five minutes from Disneyland, I arrived there on a shuttle bus from our Disney hotel but you can take a Cityrama shuttle from Place des Pyramides near the Louvres in the centre of Paris (round trip 19) or catch a train and then stock up on solid family buys. Upcoming delights include the opening of a new Jimmy Choo shop. I'd happily spend two days in queues at Disneyland if I thought there was a Jimmy Choo treat looming!
I'm always impressed by how the chic French crack the conundrum of 'le weekend', smart-casual look. If you've admired the smart Blanc Bleu shops on holidays, with their pastel cottons and linens, you can buy them reduced along with equally smart Aigle, agnès b. and Comptoir Des Cottoniers.
Looking towards good work clothes investments, the great white shirt is like a Holy Grail for many women. Anne Fontaine is a genius and the savings mean you can justify the price tag. These shirts wash like a dream and look great from am to pm. If you really want to consolidate your shopping bargain potential, you could engage a personal shopper with detailed knowledge of stock and bargains.
Las Rozas Village, 30 minutes outside Madrid, has a real Castilian feel,[url=http://duveticadownjacketssale.webmium.com/][b]http://duveticadownjacketssale.webmium.com/[/b][/url], with 100 high fashion boutiques including Pedro del Hierro, a secret passion I was keeping to myself, until now. If you like tailored lines,[url=http://duveticadownjacketssale.webmium.com/][b]Duvetica Down Jackets Duvetica Women for sale[/b][/url], sumptuous fabrics and great matching accessories,[url=http://duveticaitaly.albirank.net/][b]Duvetica online[/b][/url], this is a super Spanish label to acquaint yourself with. The posh frock I paid full price for in San Sebastian was less than half price at Las Rozas,[url=http://duveticaoutletcanada.halod.com/][b]http://duveticaoutletcanada.halod.com/[/b][/url], but I wasn't in bad form for too long because there were other bargains to snare at Carolina Herrera -- a genius for her red -carpet dresses -- and Loewe is perfect for mothers-of-the-bride, desperate to find something stylish that other guests at the nuptials won't have.
If you have ever marvelled at how chic Spanish children look in their pretty frocks and matching pastel shoes,[url=http://cheapnikesoccercleatsmercurial.webmium.com/][b]cheap nike soccer cleats mercurial[/b][/url], don't miss the Nanos shop. This understated chic for smallies is so cute,[url=http://duveticaitaly.albirank.net/][b]Duvetica italy[/b][/url], but if you want a more colourful, contemporary look, try Oilily.
I bagged incredible jewellery bargains at Adolfo Dominguez, but if only I had made a Christmas pressie list, I could have been more focused and bought in units of 10!
This is the best advice I can give to you: arrive prepared with sizes, or even a tape measurement if European sizes confuse to you.
If you like glamorous espadrilles then you will love the Spanish Castañer label,[url=http://duveticaitaly.albirank.net/][b]DUVETICA Piumini Italy Vendita[/b][/url], which is available in some Irish shops. For young men with attitude, head to Desigual for arty T-shirts and cool shirts.
Another Spanish gem you might know from holiday spins around El Cortes Inglés is the Purificacion Garcia label. This is available reduced along with sharp mens tailoring from Zegna. We drove on the A6 (exit 19), but you can get to Las Rozas Village by train from Madrid's Atocha or Chamartin stations or by buses 625 and 628 from Moncloa bus station. Open seven days a week, the village is open till 9pm all week; 10pm Saturdays.
The final stop on my whirlwind tour is La Roca Village,[url=http://duveticaitaly.albirank.net/][b]http://duveticaitaly.albirank.net/[/b][/url], 40 minutes north of Barcelona,[url=http://monclerjackenoutletch.albirank.net/][b]Moncler Weste Billig Moncler Jacken Outlet Moncler Outlet Österreich[/b][/url], so it is handy for those of you flying into Girona, holidaying on the Costa Brava or taking a drive down from Perpignan and south-west France.
I found there was more of a holiday shopper atmosphere here compared with the Village in Madrid; families dressed down in shorts and trainers were positively lashing into the bargains at Ralph Lauren, Hilfiger, Miss Sixty, Diesel, Camper and the Nike factory shop. Before I go any further,[url=http://duveticaoutletcanada.halod.com/][b]duvetica jackets canada[/b][/url], I must point out that this outlet is not open on Sundays. It is, however, open until 8.30pm during the week and 10pm on Saturdays. The La Perla shop will make mammies (and daddies) happy. You should not miss the colourful, sassy clothes at the Custo Barcelona,[url=http://duveticaouterwear.blogspot.com/][b]duvetica outerwear[b][/url], a fantastic local label which has a great arty feel to it. I had to be dragged out of Hoss, but I did manage to get a coat to go with the matching skirt I bagged in Las Rozas,[url=http://woolricheliteparka.blogspot.com/][b]woolrich elite parka[b][/url], with 70pc off than the original high street price.
Another piece of essential advice is not to forget your VIP discount book, which you can collect on arrival, for additional savings. These outlets are all sister operations of the Kildare Village shopping outlet.
