No doubt, there are a lot of sale shopping guides floating about at the moment, but hey ho - read on for my two cents!
Seventies
AW10 introduced a lot of Seventies styling to the high street - think paisley prints, midi lengths, kick flare trousers and general floatiness! The trend will be following through to Spring/Summer 11, so invest in any of the these and they'll soon become your wardobe staples.

Mango sets a pretty good precedent on how to style the look, so it's a little more on-trend and a little less time-warp...! Their sale is pretty good, check out the website. I picked up a great paisley print silk blouse (perfect with skinnies and platform heels) for under £25 - bargainous.

White Out
White, ivory and oyster - whatever you choose to call it, pick it up and layer it on, as SS11 is all about being pale and interesting. Take inspiration from Alexander Wang and Erdem and rock white, whichever end of the style spectrum you fall.

Ok, so brights aren't exactly a new thing for Summer, but pick up a few bold pieces in the sales and mix and match when the weather (eventually) warms up to update your look.

The Breton stripe moves on this season. Look out for chunky or multi stripes, ideally in bold colours and wear à la Prada.

Hang on the animal prints you've no doubt accumulated over the season and mix them up for a fresher look. If you haven't yet jumped on the leopard print bandwagon, the sales are a great time to start!

If you buy nothing else, make sure a biker jacket is on your list (or better still, dig it out of your wardrobe). The biker will come in every shape and form come spring, so make sure it's at the top of your new season hit list.
