All this hot weather recently has left us gasping at Letsbuyit.co.uk trying to cool down in any way possible!

That’s why this week we want to know how you cool down when it’s scorching outside!

This week’s question is: How do you cool yourself down when it’s hot outside?

This week's survey at Letsbuyit.co.uk

A. With an air conditioning fan or unit.

B. By eating loads of ice lollies.

C. By wearing skimpy summer clothes.

D. By trying not to move around too much!

Let us know how you cool down on Letsbuyit.co.uk where you will find our survey on the bottom right-hand side of the homepage!

Now, last week we asked you “Where do you normally stay on holiday?” and the results are in with a clear majority!

Last week's survey at Letsbuyit.co.uk

38% of you admitted the credit crunch had affected your holiday plans and therefore chose option B. At a campsite; I’m trying to economise!

We at Letsbuyit.co.uk think camping isn’t half bad! With all the natural beauty England has to offer and the fabulous summer weather we’ve been having, a camping holiday sounds perfect!

So yesterday I featured the Top Women’s Fashion Finds from this summer’s sales on Letsbuyit.co.uk and decided it would only be fair to feature the top men’s fashion finds too, to have you looking just as slick this summer!

So here are my top picks from the summer sales at Letsbuyit.co.uk which are guaranteed to have the ladies lusting after you this summer!

For me, a quality pair of deck shoes will get you far in the summer. To be worn in an ironic, slightly ‘I’m-wearing-my-dads-shoes’ sort of way, these can be teamed with anything; with swimming shorts in the day time to smart jeans and a shirt in the evening. These are my favourite pair from office and have been slashed from a whopping £82 to a bargain price of £35! Get them before they go!

Sperry Authentic Original Classic White Deckshoes at Letsbuyit.co.uk

Oh how we adore these sky blue jeans from Urban Outfitters at Letsbuyit.co.uk. Coloured jeans are everywhere this summer and these are at the top of our list for colour, style and versability. Those of you who are colour shy, don’t panic! Wear these jeans with a plain top and a simple shoe and you can ease yourself in slowly! With a price drop from £95 to £39.99, it’s time to conquer your fear!

Uniforms For The Dedicated Hanni Ball Carrot Pant at Letsbuyit.co.uk

We LOVE this indie-chic t-shirt from AllSaints Spitalfields at Letsbuyit.co.uk. It positively screams too-cool-for-school and is definitely to be seen wearing this summer! With a price drop from £45 to £31.50 there is no excuse not to be sporting it wherever you go!

Ivy S/s Crew Neck T-Shirt at Letsbuyit.co.uk

To us at Letsbuyit.co.uk, the summer sales always seem like a fab idea, in principal. But as a seasoned sales-goer, I know only too well that in practice, braving the sales is no piece of cake. Too many times I’ve tracked down a great bargain only to find someone’s hands are on it from the other side of the rack, resulting in a tussle of some kind resorting the participants back to their childhood selves shouting “it was mine first” or the more grown up version of ‘I’ll tell my mum’; “I’ll get the manager”. A more fitting phrase never was spoken than ‘The early bird catches the worm’ when referring to the sales. Unless you’re quick and as meticulously organised as a double-agent you will miss out on all the good stock!

So why do we bother? Sometimes it may feel as if all the sales are, are an extra bit of hassle to leave you feeling more flustered than needs be in such heat. But do not despair bargain hunters! Letsbuyit.co.uk have found you an oasis in the desert of inhospitable sale land. We have trawled through thousands of products on Letsbuyit.co.uk to find you the most covetable sale items, for the lowest prices that you can view from your own home! What could be better than that?

Have a look below at the hottest sale items of the summer and remember to snap them up fast before they sell out!

Urban outfitters have been having a whopping sale this season, slashing the prices of thousands of gorgeous items.
Like this Kimchi and Blue Tulle dress which you can find at Letsbuyit.co.uk! The stunning crushed pastel palette on this dress makes it exactly on trend for this season. With its ultra-feminine bust-line and sash detailing this dress could easily be dressed up with grunge-chic black heels or dressed down with a denim jacket and sandals. We adore it!

Also from Urban Outfitters at Letsbuyit.co.uk comes this ultra-cool Animal Feather Applique clip. In four different styles, this clip will add that certain je-ne-sais-quoi to any outfit be it daytime or evening chic.

Do evening chic in this Hayley Studded Prom Dress from BooHoo at Letsbuyit.co.uk. The stud detailing on the bust-line making the dress flirty whilst also edgy and the virginal white colour will off-set any tan perfectly! This is one our favourites, but we have a feeling it will sell fast!

Hayley Studded Prom Dress at Letsbuyit.co.uk

Last but by no means least we tracked down the Le Silla bag from designer web outlet Loox.com at Letsbuyit.co.uk. The stunning diamante detailing in a cool gold/bronze colour makes this bag the ‘it’ bag for the summer and can be teamed with practically anything! We love its rock-chic edge!

It’s that time again for the Ant Product of the Month, and let me tell you, I can barely contain my excitement (which you will soon understand is also riddled with face-melting fear).

Behold…insect candy…

The Vodkalix, Tequilalix and Antilix lollies at Letsbuyit.co.uk

What a wonderous (for you) yet hideously creepy (for me) idea! At letsbuyit.co.uk, on one of our shops, Firebox is allowing you to get your hands on the Vodkalix, Tequilalix and Antilix lollipops, your favourite candies with original flavours of Vodka, Tequila and Peppermint, with a twist…they are embedded with insects! (Eek!)

The Vodkalix Vodka-flavoured lolly is home to the Chinese scorpion, bred on scorpion farms specifically for human consumption and heat-treated to ensure the scorpions are completely sterile, poison-free and safe to eat. We at Letsbuyit.co.uk are intrigued and enthralled by the idea we can get our hands on and gobble down a real life scorpion!

And what about the Tequilalix Tequila-flavoured lolly! Real, specially bred worms live in these lollies to give you the authentic tequila experience! We are really spoilt for choice with scorpions, worms and even ants (Yikes!) galore…

The ants embedded in the delectable Antilix peppermint-flavoured lollipop are farm bred Polyrachis black ants and are bred for their spicy, peppery taste similar to that of chilli peppers. We think this lolly may well be our favourite and are eager to get our hands on one!

Find them all at Letsbuyit.co.uk and tons of other weird and wonderful products to satisfy your adventurous side!

I hope you loved my truly ant-astic product this month! Until next time!

Summer soirées, balls and race days occupy warm evenings and days that stretch on forever in the summer, which is why good quality, unique, summer partywear is such a necessity.
You would have thought it would be easy to find but there you would be mistaken. What a nightmare it is when you turn up to a party in the same dress as another guest, certainly a fashion faux-pas, or the zip gets stuck when you’re trying to squeeze into it!
Luckily for you, we have trawled the net to find you the most exclusive and unique partywear of exceptionally high quality that oozes sophistication and class.
Have a look below at a few of our favourites to have you glammed-up and ready for the party season!

White Tuxedo Jacket at Letsbuyit.co.uk

This beautifully cut, white tuxedo jacket is ideal for glamorous summer events. Although one may well shy away from the white tuxedo in the winter (and quite rightly so), in the summer, it’s old-fashioned, understated glamour fits any smart occasion perfectly.

Alberta Ferretti Goddess Silk dress at Letsbuyit.co.uk

You would be forgiven for thinking that this dress was perhaps an illusion of some kind of midsummer’s night’s dream, but luckily for you, this goddess silk dress is made by Alberta Ferretti! With its swathes of silk and dreamy draping, this dress has struck us down with its cupid bow. What better way to see in the summer soirée season in style than in this knock-out number!

Lsa Bar Collection Cocktail glasses at Letsbuyit.co.uk

Serve those martinis shaken, not stirred in these elegant cocktail glasses from LSA. With long slender stems and a smooth, curved, triangular mouth, these glasses certainly offer the sophistication that is required when throwing an elegant soirée. Why not try out some fabulous summer cocktails to serve in them? Here are a few ideas for the chicest cocktails around this summer, to be seen drinking and serving.
