I’ve been getting Valentine emails with tips, tricks and gift guides since November already but I spared you the madness until now. Seven more days left until you can send that little love note, buy that gorgeous bouquet of flowers and tell your lovah lovah how much you love him/her. But Valentine’s isn’t just about your hubby, wifey, bf or gf. I think it’s just a day where you show your loved ones what they mean to you. So go get your best friend or grandmother something nice too, they deserve it!

Oh but you don’t know what to buy? Well, I would really love one of these Pauker iPhone cases for example. Their new collection consists of a few Valentine cases and if I could choose one, I think I’d pick the Infinity love sign! Why? Because it reminds me of Emily’s tat in Revenge and because it’s just simple and beautiful at the same time. Think it fits better with the sleek design of my iPhone 5. So hurry hurry and buy someone nice, something even nicer for only €29,99.

Which one would you prefer?

For those of you who are fed up with huge crowds in your favorite stores, there’s a solution. Did you ever considered shopping online? Or more specifically: shopping online with discount? Not to worry, my little friends. I’m an online shop newbie as well. I have it on good authority that my fellow bloggers aren’t and they receive packages every week or so (you crazy gals).

I, on the other hand, am not familiar with the scene. I do my occasional browsing here and there but actually buying stuff never seems to happen. Meanwhile, it’s my trump to make wish lists. As you can see above, I’m in need of a few basics like a leather jacket, a pair of jeans, a full skater skirt and some jumpers. Finding these items isn’t that hard – I’m not that kind of a newbie – but finding them with discount, even though sale season isn’t currently going on, that’s what I’m looking for!

One website with a thousand discounts… how does that sound? I thought it was pretty awesome and for people that aren’t familiar with each and every webshop and their discounts, this kind of medium would be perfect. Korting.be offers this service, even beyond fashion. A weekend away for two, you’ll find it here. Or free delivery on the online Mexx store? No hay problema amigas, Korting.be is there to let you know.

Browse the website through category, brands, products or daily offers and find amazing deals. Enough shopping? Read the blog to find out more about e-commerce or to win some goodies through the giveaways. The thing that trumps all of the above: the website exists in 7 different countries. So all you Americans or Españoles, you know where to go

It’s not easy being a well known quality brand in between all those high street chains producing nothing but fast fashion. Esprit is one of those brands that has been around for ages. My mom used to dress me in it a lot but as I grew older, Esprit and I went our seperate ways. It had been ages since I heard something about it other than ‘Red tag, she’s wearing Esprit!‘. But being a blogger and all, I found out Esprit was back on the radar. Refurbished stores, top models as the figurehead… Yes, they kind of drew my attention.

Two weeks ago I was invited to one of their events in Cologne and a week after in London. I couldn’t really go but luckily some of my fellow bloggers did. I was in London the day after the event for about five days – adventures coming up on the blog – and passed by the renewed Esprit store on Regent Street. The limited edition RCA collection was in stores and I was surprised. Severel pieces are on my wish list already! But what was the collection exactly about?!

Esprit collaborated with the Royal College of Art in London for the second time now. Upcoming talent got the opportunity to design a collection and Esprit learned what was new in fashion town. The three winning designers questionned wheter fashion could be sustainable. Ryan Mercer, Rachael Hall and Julia Mackenroth each had their own ideas and started creating like crazy. From abstract prints by Ryan Mercer to a fluffy sheepy coat by Rachael Hall and a fluffy dip-dye sweater by Julie Mackenroth… I want it all!

Now available in 11 selected Esprit stores worldwide and online. In Belgium only for sale in Antwerp (Meir 9).
