This sequin sash tie dress is perfect for a night out somewhere glam. With some towering stilettos and a clutch bag this outfit is bound to get you noticed. I love the sequin embellished material and wide flared sleeves – and the silky sash around the waist finishes the look off perfectly.

You could even team it with some jeans and high shoes for a more casual look, the dress could easily be transformed into a long top. Jessica Simpson pulls this look off well, and casual boots really make the outfit suitable for wearing in the day too – a perfect item to have in your wardrobe this spring, and for only £45 I think it’s a bit of a bargain!

Now that everything has gone digital it is harder to share those photo snaps with your friends without turning on your laptop or huddling round the tiny camera display. However, with a digital photo frame you can take the memory card out of the camera and insert it into the frame creating an automatic slideshow for everyone to see.

We wrote about these photo frames a little while ago but the only one’s we could find were rather expensive (over £250), this one is currently selling for just £35 at Ebuyer. The frame supports SD and MMC cards, has a 7 inch display and is really easy to operate. The mantelpiece will look so much more interesting with a series of family photos rather than just one still image.

Last year Tesco sold a DVD player for £17.97, which at the time was pretty damn impressive. However, rival supermarket Asda are now selling one for £9. How is that possible? £9 is probably about the same price you’d have to pay for a cinema ticket these days! May as well spend the £9 on the DVD player and watch endless films from the comfort of your own home!

Apparently 80,000 Durabrand 1005’s will be going on sale in the UK, but you might have to rush off to your local store to get one as they’re still not showing on Asda’s website yet. The player can also handle audio CDs and CDs full of MP3s – for £9 I’m pretty sure these will be flying off the shelves.

Superdrug may not be the first place you’d usually think of to look for gadgets, but they’ve recently started stocking this really cute MP3 player with speakers – and for just £19.99 – what a bargain! And it’s pink, you can’t get much better than this.

With 128MB internal memory, and a speaker set with 2 watt speakers and a 6 watt subwoofer, this little gadget is not really going to blast out a huge amount of sound, but for under £20 I think it’s definitely worth it – and it would be a great little gift for a young relative.

Earphones and a USB cable are also included, see the online store for more info.

After watching ‘The Truth About Food’ on BBC2 last night I have been inspired to start a healthier diet by introducing more fruit and veg into my everyday routine. On the program a group of men were testing a diet of two smoothies a day to see if they could increase the quality of their sperm – all men had a low sperm count and damaged DNA.

Obviously I am not doing it for this reason because I am female but the smoothies looked so damn delicious I want to give it a go myself. After looking on the Internet for a smoothie maker this morning a came across one by Russell Hobbs called the ‘You Are What You Eat Smoothie Maker’ for only £13.24 (reduced from £26.48).

If you have been trying to encourage your kids or even your lover to eat more fruit and vegetables, smoothies could be a great solution – you are giving them a tasty treat and also giving them the nutrients and goodness their bodies need.

The Russel Hobbs smoothie maker is available at Amazon for this price.

I have just got back from the beautiful French town of Les Gets where I spent the week with 10 friends in a fully catered chalet. At £430 per person we felt we got a great deal considering this included flight, accommodation, transfers, breakfast, afternoon cake, four course evening meal, unlimited wine and transfers to and from the main chair lift every day. We had an absolutely fantastic time however unfortunately there wasn’t an awful lot of snow in Les Gets at the time so we traveled to Avoriaz on a couple of days to make the most of some skiing and boarding.

I have just looked at Total Ski’s website (who we booked with) and the price of the chalet Ferme Du Lavay is now just £285 per person if you go the week commencing Sunday 21st January. If you are looking for a last minute break away this could be perfect for you. Check out Total’s Website for more information about the chalet and others on last minute offers.

If you are a Friends lover then check out this fantastic deal at Amazon.co.uk. The 30 disc box set of series one through to ten is just £109.99 reduced from £203.99 including free delivery to anyone in the UK. What a bargain, I know people who have spent hundreds on Friends DVD’s.

Also, the Sex and the City box set is now just £71.97, happy shopping!

While looking for a Christmas pressie for my boyfriend, I came across this video camera on the Curry’s website and thought what a great idea. We’re off to France skiing soon so I thought this would be a perfect gift for him. Not only does it have a 25x optical zoom (800x digital zoom), widescreen recording and a 2.7” wide LCD screen, it only costs £179 which personally I think is a bargain.

The camera is lightweight and compact so suitable if you are moving around a lot like we will be. The large viewfinder means you can set up the shot first and even film while skiing or snowboarding. The camcorder also has a great image stabilisation function to assist with shaky footage. See the Curry’s Website for further information.

I can’t tell you how happy I was to discover that Take That – the ultimate boy band of the 90′s have released a new album. The album includes their latest single Patience that hit the number 1 spot in the charts last week. As an avid listener of their music as a kid, this album will definitely be at the top of my Christmas list.

The album is called Beautiful World and at only £7.99 at Amazon, be sure to get this for your Mum – she’ll love it.
