Shopping finds | Mrs O Around The World

If you follow me on my Instagram Stories, you will see that I share links to items I have purchased and could be of interest to others.

I will divert my Swipe Up links to this page, so your clicks are correctly tracked and attributed to me (if they come from Instagram and if readers don’t purchase immediately, I won’t get credit for it).

My sale finds below are in reverse chronological order, so it makes sense for those clicking in from Instagram (and they find the item they are looking for first).

Loewe x On Cloudventure trainers

Costs 350 Euros from My Theresa (for women and for men). Available in other colours.

Waterdrop gold earrings (not gold)

Cost $10 (but £20 all in with shipping and duty) from Amazon

These are great earrings if you were considering buying the Bottega Venetta waterdrop earrings but do not fancy spending over £1000 for costume jewellery. There are hundreds of versions of these online – these ones ship only from the USA (globally) and I can confirm they are well made, have not tarnished and are worth the money.

Aerin Adelina Wicker Clutch

Costs $385 from Aerin (please look out for the ‘new customer 15% discount code’). Ships only to the USA.

Absolutely stunning this clutch – and I have bought the white one (something that is isn’t so easy to find) and I think I need other colours too.

Cayumas Venetian Slippers

Cost from £80 from Cayumas (mine are the Verde Oliva C25)

Fitbit Luxe

Costs £125 from Amazon

I wanted a new Fitbit (purely for counting steps and did not want an Apple Watch), so I recently ordered this one. Cheap as chips and looks very decent too.

Valentino jelly sandals

Cost £360 from My Theresa, Harvey Nichols (check out to see if you have an Amex offer, and also don’t forget you get a £50/semester shopping credit with Amex Platinum).

These are perfect. I was unsure about the shade of nude as they looked a bit pink online, but when I got them… I understood what they meant by ‘suits every skintone nude’. They are not too pink or too beige.

These are jelly sandals, which means they can be actually used to go to the pool or beach (and then rinsed) but I found them a great holiday staple as you can easily wear them in the evening. Get them before they go. They are also available in black.

Interestingly, they do not seem to be available from USA retailers – only a different model.

Silke hair ties

Cost £30 from Cult Beauty

There are phenomenal and do not even compare with the Slip ones you see everywhere. Trust me on this.

Melissa Odabash bandeay swimsuit

From The Outnet (ships globally), now with 50% off

I have had this version of a swimsuit in a variety of colours and cannot recommend it enough. Very forgiving and flattering and I really rate Melissa Odabash’s quality in terms of swimming costumes.

Cotton waffle duvet cover

Costs £45

I came across these online last year (when I was looking for options for guest beds for our Summer home in Spain) and could not believe how fantastic they were. They are 100% cotton and the waffle is perfect (it is exactly the same material as the one selling at Pottery Barn for an extra zero, I kid you not). As a result, all our guest beds in Spain have these duvet covers and all our guests have purchased them… if you dry them well, they won’t even need ironing. We even bought some in double size and had them altered for the single beds we have as we couldn’t beat quality/value.

I paired them with this soft and silky fitted sheet, top sheet (if you use them) and pillow cases. If you are looking to spend a bit less, we also got some sets with 400 thread count (instead of 800) as stocks were all over the place – they work well too. For Spain, we have bought these duvets and these pillows.

At home, we have this duvet and these pillows. Little one has this set.

Loewe puzzle shoulder bag (with crossbody straps)

Costs £2350 from Selfridges. Also available from Nordstrom and Net a Porter.

It is my current bag and I love it 🙂

Hermes Apple Watch (unisex)

From £1250

It comes with the leather strap (and also a bright orange plastic one), but what sets this Apple Watch apart from others are the faces, which are exclusive this model. You have quite a few Hermes options (and can customise colours). There are seasonal updates too.

Emergency Bag

Costs £10 from Amazon

I bought these (and tested them on 2 trips recently) and they are great. They fold to nothing and will be there for you when you shop a little bit too much.

Frette Bed Linen

Starting at £140 (down from £400+). Click here for UK and Europe, and also the USA.

Worth looking at towels too. Click here for Europe and UK and also USA.

You can find the outlet link for Europe here and USA here.

There’s a bit more variety in the USA at present, but still good availability in Europe.

frette bed linen sale

With regards to bath towels, I recommend the Eternity range (which is excellent and 750gr) – we bought the light grey ones for England and have the sandy beige in Spain.

Try and use the code checkout as a discount code as usually works (for new customers or new email addresses) and gives you an extra 10% off. Prices in the UK include duties and tax – but it is slightly cheaper if you send it to any EU country, so for those readers with homes abroad, ship there direct.
