The stars of the show here, for fashionistas, are the shoes; if you're in need of some retail therapy, and you're on a budget, you won't be wasting your time.

Bring that little black dress bang up-to-date with some patent party peep toes. The classic black four inch heels will make you look more like Sex in the City's Carrie than Imelda Marcos. At a mere £12, they'll even have the Bank Manager smiling. For a seasonal colour highlight, the strappy mauve patent peep toe heels are on trend and the same happy price. Keep your head warm and stay stylish with a sequinned beret for just £3.

Interior design fans can pick up a pretty, wholesome american-pie-style patchwork cushion to brighten a dull corner for £8. Kitchen accessories are funky and cheap, including a pastel pink roasting pan for a trifling £2.50.
