Joules Big Sale Cheltenham

I haven't done one of these in an absolute aaaage but this weekend I'm off to work at the Cheltenham Big Sale for Joules. If you haven't seen my previous posts about big sales, the basic idea is we sell our past season stock at a really reasonable price, simple as that. You can really find some great bargains so it's worth coming along (I would say that though wouldn't I?)

The details are here.

Luckily it won't all be work, I'm finally meeting my best friend from home, Catherine's boyfriend. He lives in Cheltenham so we've never met this mysterious man, he'd better pass all of my tests!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Joules Big Sale in Cardiff

This weekend I'm working at another Big Sale for Joules and I'm quite excited for this one. It's meant to be sunny so everyone will automatically have to be cheery and it's always so nice to explore new places, I've never been to Cardiff so it should be interesting. Plus my gorgeous best friend Alice is visiting her boyfriend there for the weekend so I get to have a cheeky visit from her, I'm very excited!

If you're around the area pop in and have a look at what we've got on Saturday and Sunday, hopefully it'll be a good one! For those who don't know what our big sales are, Joules sell their older season products at a discounted price as if it was being sold at an outlet, it really is brilliant and if you get there early enough you can get some real bargains, it's always so tempting to buy loads when I go to work at the sales!

Here's the poster for the show, it's being held at Cardiff Cricket Ground so I might spot some dishy cricket players practising on the green!

They'll also have a company called Rampant Sporting selling some of their old season clothes too, I don't think they particularly like this comparison but it's a bit like Jack Wills in the way that they are mainly geared towards university students and began at Exeter University. Their socks are to die for and I have bought them as gifts for varying friends and sister so well worth a look, I think we should predict pretty big things for this lovely company!

Have an amazing sunny weekend everyone and don't make me too jealous with all of your BBQ and Pimms pics! See you Monday!

Goodbye Joules Bournemouth

Tomorrow is my last ever shift at Joules in Beales of Bournemouth, I started there way back when in October 2009 when I began university. It has kind of been my little rock when things have gone a bit rubbish, I could escape at work. And now it's all over!

Now I don't have very many photos because who takes photos while they're at work?! But I just thought tomorrow's last ever shift deserved a little mention because I really have enjoyed all of the strange things that I've been able to do at Joules.

I've blown up a changing room full of balloons in one afternoon, erected a deck chair in the middle of the day and worn face masks with varying animals and vegetables on!

{Proof of the whole changing room of balloons!}

I can't recommend having a job more whilst at uni, it might be a pain sometimes when you're hungover or everyone else is having a lie in but give it a go, not just for the money but for the people you meet. And hey you never know you might get a tasty discount out of it which comes in handy for all occasions!

Joules Big Sale in Plumpton

This weekend I'm working at a Joules Big Sale at Plumpton in East Sussex. The whole idea of a big sale is Joules sell a lot of last season's clothes which are left from the shop sales and outlet sales. It is all sold at good sale prices and have multi buys so you get more for your money.

Come along if you're in the area for some Joules bargains! Otherwise have a lovely weekend, hopefully the weather will stop being so rubbish, theres a point-to-point on (a horse racing event if you haven't got a clue what I'm going on about!) See you Monday!

Joules Spring Collection

Yesterday was my first day back at work for a while and I returned to a whole new shop full of new spring bits and bobs so I thought I'd show you a few of my favourite pieces in the collection.


I'm not exactly the Joules target customer and I've worked here for so long that I think my eyes have been blurred by stripes, but every season I get a few welcomed surprises which threaten my pay packet! (all picture sourced from joules.com)

{Sinnington jacket - £159}

I have wanted this jacket for a long time and its always coming back out with a different flowery lining, one day I will get it! Its a brilliant investment piece as its a good tailored fit and not too obvious tweed so it will go with everything!

{Moredale coat - £84.95}

My family and I went a bit coat crazy this Christmas with Joules but I got this treasure and its so great. Its smart enough to wear as a jacket and so comfy! They're very popular coats but if you do enough searches you'll find it, determination is needed when it comes to some clothes!

{Fiona blouse - £59.95}

This is another item that I have and its such a gorgeous fit, the picture doesn't quite give it justice but its fitted enough but loose to cover those lumps and bumps, its also more creme than this pic! The necklines gorgeous too.

{Christen top - £29.95}

A perfect staple for your wardrobe, everyone needs a Breton and this is a very good price for such an essential!

{Maristow skirt - £44.95}

This skirt is just perfect for a summer event that needs a little mosre smart but not enough for a full on summer dress. This pattern will work every summer so you'll get your use out of it!

{Katelyn bag - £44.95}

Now lets talk about accessories, Joules always has the prettiest accessories! This bag is the perfect holiday bag especially for Mums or whoever holds the passports and tickets in the family! My Mum has such trouble with all the things she needs to take with her that you need a big bag like this, so why not make it a cute dotty wicker bag? 

{Lanie pumps - £26.95}

These little pumps are so cute and the most useful shoes to wear for the summer, they'll go with everything and keep you comfy all day and they're a bit of a steal at that price.

{Lottie trainers - £24.95}

Another pair of gorgeous, handy shoes for the summer! You can get the plain versions but I quite like the little flowers. Cath K do some similar ones but I've been told they're quite rubby so give these ones a go!

{Evedon wellies - £64.95}

These are probably the most popular Joules wellies as they've gone transatlantic! I've seen multiple pictures of these on Pinterest pinned by some Americans not knowing where they're from! I have an old pair when they were called Posh Wellies and they are PERFECT for festivals, in a sea of Hunters you're the one that will stand out at the festival!

OUTLET

{Phaedra jumper - £44.95 reduced from £69.95}

Now lets talk outlet, theres still so many great things left in the outlet like this cute Pheasant jumper, a little bit of country but they're so soft and a bit of tongue in cheek for Joules.

{Tabby hat - £9.95 reduced from £22.95}

I'm in love with this hat its just so cute and looks great on teenagers and young'uns, perfect for those bad hair days!

{Slippersocks - £9.95 reduced from £19.95}

These will get you through any cold days I promise you! I've had mine for almost 2 years now and they're still going strong, I absolutely love them, stick your feet in next time you're in a shop and you'll see exactly why people like them so much!

MENS

{Atwell jumper - £69.95}

{Carter shirt - £59.95}

Theres some lovely mens things but these two pieces are my favourites. The jumper is gorgeous and perfect for those lazy Sundays. The shirt is a brilliant staple for work or casual and my Dad has told me multiple times how brilliant the Joules shirts I buy him are, they wash well apparently!

However, the best thing about the new collection is the Picnic collection!!

{Picnic Basket - £74.95, Coolbag - £29.95}

{Carrystool - £29.95}

I'm a big fan of Joules picnic bits, we have the cool bag and it goes to every Point to Point with us but this seat is amazing! You have no idea how useful this item will be, say you've got a garden party and you've invited more people than seats... carrystool to the rescue! You get my drift, they're fab. The Picnic basket is so nice, it comes with everything you'll need and everyone needs a picnic basket don't they?

One thing I am excited about is the unveiling of the Joules stationary! I think we all know how much I like stationary after my long post about cards and notebooks!

So if you're thinking of revamping your spring wardrobe or looking for some new picnic bits have a look at www.joules.com and see what you can find! Or give us a visit in Bournemouth Beales :)
