Today I got a few bits in local boutiques. This skirt, designed by a fellow Clare woman (never met her, not a shill!) http://celticfusiondesign.com/womens/wine-check-tweed-frill-skirt
And a gorgeous Winter white 100% wool blanket scarf with fake fur pompoms on - can't find a pic but I'm in love

Fell in love with this top when I seen it on an email from Dunnes Stores. But whenever I went into Dunnes they never had my size and I wanted to try on cos I wasn't sure of the fit. Took a short cut through Dunnes over the weekend and spied the top all on its own at the end of a rail - tried it on and it fits perfectly! It was meant to be! Love it, it's my style, not trend driven, slightly different but not way out there.

Edit to add that's it's not on their website anymore but may still be in store.

Beautiful shoes, what is the fit like, are they small/large/true to size, and most importantly, are they comfortable?

I have an upcoming event that these would be perfect for.

I ordered my usual shoe size and they fit fine, maybe a slight bit of room in them but my feet are on the small and narrow side. They are comfy, there's a bit of cushioning on the inside sole. I wore them 2 days last week and one of the days I was very busy and on the go all day and never have my footwear a second thought!
If you are ordered buy them in sterling, I saved a few euro that way. Also I think there's a discount code floating around somewhere (I think u magazine have 20% off).

Splurged & treated myself as I always buy cheapy coats in Dunnes and the likes!
TK Maxx (Michael Kors) €139
Similar to this but I think the one I got is more fab. It's navy, long and has a zip and poppers to close it. It's so warm when I put it on so perfect for cold days! plus I think the one I got is longer than this, unless I'm just really short (which I kind of am!)

Thanks so much for this.

I had a look at U magazine but it seems to be New Look they've a discount for, don't suppose anyone know's what mag has the ASOS discount?

Is it too early to mention Christmas?! Just ordered this skirt from ASOS. It's not my usual style but I love the colour. Planning to wear it some parties over the Christmas season.

Stunning! And a bargain too.
I got a great wool mohair blend cardi in TK Maxx, really unusual subtle colour blend of blue/purple/green and it's so warm and comfy and almost fluffy, I love it! They have some excellent wool blend, 100% merino and cashmere bits this year, proper cashmere too (as well as the cheaper, less soft stuff they usually have)

Have weddings and Christmas parties coming up between now and February so felt totally justified buying more than one new dress

The red and black skater looking dress is from boo hoo so I'm wary of the quality but hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

I bought two of the red in different sizes and one of the black ... it'll probably turn out that none of them fit ha!



The glitzy one Is from Asos, the brand is club L. I've never bought that brand before so will have to see how it goes! Quite good value at €73 considering its fully lined and sequined all over. - a big bug bear of mine is clothes that have the pattern or sequin etc only on the front.

Just got this to do me for a couple of Christmas nights out and a christening. Going to wear it with black opagues and black heels for the christening and something sparklier for nights out

Ordered this for my Christmas party. Hopefully will be nice in person! I've a funny feeling it won't be for some reason. Oh well can always return it. It's by Yumi and got it from House of Fraser for £43. Link.

Dress is lovely. Looks just like the photo and is really flattering. Yay! Christmas party dress shopping done 3 weeks in advance. Last year was a lot more stressful .

@norwegianwood Beautiful dress. Have you taken delivery of it yet? Did it fit?

The red and black dresses are lovely. The other dress is lovely too just not my type of dress.

Just ordered some shoes from the Loake factory shop on Ebay, discontinued line so £100..



That's less than half of what they seem to be everywhere else.

Plain but I only have brogues otherwise tbh so they're sort of needed, lifetime job (10+ years all going well)

Thanks very much . It came today, I'm between an 8 and 10, but got the 10 in this to be sure, glad I did because it's a bit tight in the arms!
