A few of my pregnant friends have been asking me where can they find some stylish maternity clothes in a sale, so I had a dig around and have found a couple of things that they liked at Isabella Oliver clearance sale department.

Crinkle Skirt

Looking for a skirt to wear on an evening out or for a sunday lunch with friends, then check this out.  In a crisp white colour with a full gathered crinkle fabric.  Available in sizes 4-20.  Price was £55, now £33.

Babycity is one of those companies that you should always keep checking on.  They do amazing deals and if you join their baby club, all the products are slightly reduced…what more can a bargain hunter ask for?

This weeks deal is on sleepsuits for your bambino.  These may not be the most ultra stylish around, but they are certainly good value for money.  When my kids were little and we were having a chilled day at home, quite often I would just leave them in a sleepsuit rather than put clothes on them.

Babycity have a choice of ten from Fashion Sleeper, for you to choose from.  In a variety of colours, patterns, and in sizes from newborn to 3-6 months.

I liked the Spotty Dog Raglan Sleeper the best. Made from cotton, it features a cute doggy character embroidered on a snazzy striped background.  It has shoulder and leg poppers.

RRP is £14.99, Babycity price without membership is £7.99 each or with membership is £6.99.  But if you buy 3 you get them for £14.99.  What a fantastic offer.
