Aspinal of London’s major sale
Aspinal of London is a company that prides itself on the craftsmanship of their goods, and boy should they be proud, as each item is sold at a price that hardly represents the time it takes to individually design and create each piece. But now their prices have been slashed even further in the brand’s 75% off sale, so there’s no time to waste!
Here at FFL we wanted to focus our attention on the gorgeous bags they currently have on sale, as quite frankly they are so unbelievably sophisticated any of them would befit the Queen herself. The brown Chelsea messenger bag would sit nicely alongside any autumn outfit this season and doesn’t break the bank. But let’s face it girls, bigger is better, so when it comes to a large Miami crocodile tote bag the temptation is undeniable. The same goes for the seaside inspired London tote, which during the British winter can at least help remind us that we do occasionally see some sunshine.
In the evening category it’s a battle between the ever reliable handbag or the trusty clutch. Both come complete with patent crocodile print and gold buckle detailing but the decision between the two cannot be taken lightly. So why don’t you decide and treat yourself to a luxurious new piece of royal arm candy.

Irregular Choice- Just In
This incomparable brand does exactly what it says on the tin, and that’s why we love it. It provides irregular shoes, clothes and accessories for the more alternative fashion savvy market.
A Minnie Barrel bag is a light hearted variation to an everyday accessory with a welcomed childlike quality. A pair of Coolipops flip-flops have an undeniable Japanese influence, but none the less are an unusual take on the typical English sole. A pale blue gingham Alpine Snow skirt has definitely received a dash of Alice in Wonderland inspiration, making it the perfect accompaniment to any sunny afternoon picnic. Finally for the feet are a pair of pumps that would also look extremely suited in some mystical land. A colourful concoction of footwear that appears to have been plucked right out of a fairytale.
If weird and wonderful is your cup of tea then Irregular Choice is the brand or you.

New to Karen Millen
Specialists in the field of tailored coats and evening wear, the new collection to arrive at Karen Millen certainly adheres to their high end taste. Here at FFL we were fortunate enough to check out the new line hitting stores now, so why not take a sneaky peek and shop your way to a truly elegant autumn wardrobe.
First up is the military inspired turtle neck jacket with structured tailoring that oozes sophistication. We love how the grey tweed fabric gives this modern option a classic twist. Form-fitting appears to be a favourite this season, as is elegant and sexy black evening dresses finished off with oversized patent buttons and shoulder epaulettes. The oversized tote bag is definitely a woman’s one and only love, and this version from Karen Millen offers a spacious accessory complete with stunning stud embellishment that accentuates the shape. From head to toe, a pair of luxurious red velvet cut-out stilettos are truly covet-able, proving a seductive choice for any fiery fashion vixen.

Net-A-Porter’s final reductions
Net-A-Porter, the luxurious fashion retailer is clearing out its summer cupboards, getting rid of the old to make way for the new. And by the way, getting rid of the old, is code for discounted high-end designer wear. So get clicking ladies.
Currently on sale is a classic Balmain military jacket, also known as the ultimate rock chick style statement and retailing for £1000 pounds less than the original retail price, this piece is bound to be snapped up quick. Jason Wu’s lassie ostrich feathered skirt may be a little eccentric for some but we love it, and at only £774 you can’t go wrong with this unique investment.
Summer may be almost over but there’s always next year, so what better way to invest for your future wardrobe than with a pair of ever trendy gladiator sandals. A patent leather Mui Mui pair have been slashed down to £112.50. So what are you waiting for? Get shopping!

Temperley London spring sale
Unfortunately, the five looks above are from Alice Temperley’s autumn/winter 2010 presentation in New York several weeks ago. The line was smart and sleek, and was predominantly painted in black and white with a brush of violet. The overall feel of the showing was styled city girl about town. Outfitted for whatever urgent meeting or glamorous gala beckons. Bravo, bravo.
Whilst we cannot get our hands on these beauties just yet, Temperley is selling off their samples for two days only at the 20th Century Theatre. Thursday and Friday are sure to be packed with fenzied shoppers side-stepping one another to see who can carry a few draped dresses or slouchy bags to the register first. The first day opens bright and early at 8 am and doesn’t close up shop until 7 pm for the work crowd.

Preen sample sale
This is extremely late notice (apologies, apologies), but this is a good one: Preen has been hosting a sample sale and today is the last day! Head over to 5 Portobello Green, 281 Portobello Road from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. to shop the range of our very favourite minis this side of town.
Maybe it was the economical downturn or the winter chill affecting Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi in the design studio, because most of the collection is black, with touches of white. The duo’s autumn/winter collection is packed with body-con frocks with a mod twist. This all starts to work together when you look at the line as a whole. Graphic black-and-white cut-outs plastered against the models’ bodies transition into groovy pastels paired with neutrals. And it all starts to make sense. Pretty pink swirls together with lavender, pistachio and pale lemon that starts to look a lot more optimistic and ripe for spring.
Whether you prefer smart and sophisticated or fun and playful (or both!), Preen’s sample sale is sure to have a little something for everyone.

French Connection sample sale
This weekend hit up French Connection’s three-day sample sale, from Friday to Sunday at 39 Camden Street. French Connection is a luxe high street favourite, so it’s sure to be packed with more affordable holiday goodies. Not to worry if you can’t make the first day of the sale, new stock will be introduced daily. Whilst a typical FC coat will set you back anywhere from £110 to £350 (for the leathers), jackets at the sale will start from £40. Dresses and knits available from £20! These are amazing gift-giving–and a bit of receiving–prices. Entry costs a pound, which will be donated to the Leukemia Trust. Click here for more information and a map.

Stella McCartney sample sale
I know I said I would try to give a few days planning notice for sample sales, but I literally just found out about this one. So here are all of the important details: Stella McCartney is holding a sample sale Friday 16 October (that would be tomorrow–so you see, this is urgent!). It takes place at 12-13 Kingsley Street, near Oxford Circus, and it runs until 18:00. No, the above looks from spring 10 will not be included, but there is plenty to love about McCartney’s past collections. What we can look forward to are the sportier, more urban looks, as well as the sexy slip dresses and suits that make a Stella collection so in-demand. Enjoy!

Sample sale season
With the holidays season upon us (really, how is it October already?), sample sales should be cropping up weekly. Whether you’re still hurting from the Recession or just keen to find a deal, pack your purse and bring cash, it moves the line along quicker, and get there early–these pop-up sales fill up fast.
I thought I’d give you a couple days to mull over the Ted Baker sample sale on Wednesday and Thursday, 7 & 8 October, opening at 8 a.m. at the Camden Centre (The sooner I find out, the sooner you find out, so pencil this one in). Fortunately the quirky high street shop offers after-work hours too, until 20:00 on Wednesday and 19:00 on Thursday. Dresses will be reduced to £40, and you can opt for fast-track to beat the queue if you sign up online. If you’re looking for great knitwear or a silky shift for the holidays, definitely head to Ted Baker, which always has an interesting take on the classics.
