We love: The net-a-porter sale
The Audit is a devoted fan of online luxury boutique net-a-porter.com, and never more so than when the word sale is thrown into the mix. With new reductions and added items there's a treasure trove of bargains to snap up.

Going green has long been the new black, but The Big Issue's new campaign, championed by Sting and his wife Trudie Styler, featuring bags made of a combination of elephant dung and banana skin is taking it too far. Not a combination we'd like to carry our shopping in.
We can't wait for: The new Aesop
With its clever mix of botanical ingredients and advanced skincare technology, Aesop makes a regular appearance on beauty wish lists, which is why the launch of a brand- new Soho store this week is causing much excitment.

It's good news for fans of cult French brand The Kooples, which has opened a store at the McArthurGlen designer outlet where savvy shoppers can get their fix of chic Parisian style at a snip, with up to 60 per cent off the normal retail price.
