Used the head and searched for discount codes. Got 10% off first order. Code is: HBR2D2 Wasn't using the head when ordering from Boohoo.com (There's discount codes online.)

And a few things from Etsy.com I'm so addicted to that site!

All thanks to you Janeybabe!! Never heard of these sites until I saw all your purchases. Decided to take advantage of the euro/sterling exchange rate. All excited now.

No problem. I heard about them from a friend so she deserves the thanks!

It's crazy to think that a few months ago I felt guilty for buying on UK sites because the exchange rate made everything so expensive. Now I feel grand about buying on UK sites!

Oh, the Mina delivery times are fantastic. Once I ordered a dress and had it within 2 days.

metaoblivia · 05-01-2009 10:07pm

Went online today to see if I could find any good prices on sweaters/warm stuff, and ended up buying this:

I'm a sucker for a pretty summer dress. It will be a few months before I can wear it, but that's alright.
Oh and they had some nice sweaters too, but none in the colors or sizes I needed.

This is bad. I really really shouldn't considering I received a Yumi skirt and Mina dress (both from ASOS) today. But I have no self-control.

Victoria's Secret online. They have the same dress in black, with multi-colored embroidery. But I love the white/blue combination!

PrivateEye · 07-01-2009 6:30pm

Just back from Liverpool! Spent a small fortune, which was all put by wisely. While most of the money went on other things (:rolleyes:) the fashion must be upheld...

GAZELLES! First pair. chuffed.

Topman- DangeeeeeerMouseeee.

Fred Perry tie, belt and flatcap from their shop too, on sale. Was basically in heaven there, they were playing Northern Soul and all.

Superdry jacket - the writing and zips on mine are orange

And also a couple of plain Topman tees - the 2 for €15 ones. For some reason they just fit me so well. Navy, black, green, and brown,

Got the Mina dress today and it's fab!Love it. They also threw in a free calendar.

I also got the dress and top from boohoo.com but both are too big. Have you ever had to return an item and are they okay for exchanging sizes? I should be happy that the size 12 were huge on me.

PrivateEye · 08-01-2009 2:50pm

^^Like the Superdry jacket mate!

the plain Topman shirts are in great sizes, I agree. Far better than the printed/retro tees.

Most places are grand for exchanging sizes. Check the returns docket that you got with your package. All the info should be on it.

They're selling off the Sinequanone stuff in Dunnes at the mo.

Yesterday I got me a jacket, a pair of deep dye jeans, a grey shift dress and a black jersey dress for €60!!!

You do have to root a bit to find the size/stuff thats in good condition but everything that the have left is down to €15/€10.

I was a happy camper anyways!!

Heading into town later to buy half price Irregular choice..... I is loving these recession sales:D:D:D

GAZELLES! First pair. chuffed.

I bought my fourth pair of Gazzelles off Trainerstation.com the other day

I now have 3 pairs on the go, a wine red pair, a blue pair and now these, my brown ones had to be retired recently

Creamy Goodness · 10-01-2009 2:56pm

bought these

the damn near comfortablest shoes i've ever worn, and that's coming from a person who was a DVS skate shoe whore a while back.

PrivateEye · 10-01-2009 5:16pm

*cries looking at the beautiful Gazelles*

got paid today, am considering a second pair.
They really do look the dogs, loads of people saying it to me.
I've had to retire a pair of nice Freds, so they might work as a replacement.

Creamy Goodness, I'm liking the look of them too.

acorntoast · 11-01-2009 8:22pm

Black knee high spats - have wanted a pair of these for a while.

Toto Wolfcastle · 12-01-2009 1:38am

I always love when I see that you've posted here fonpokno because I love your style!

I love the first skirt!

fonpokno · 12-01-2009 1:43am

Awww! You're so nice! Nobody's ever liked my style before... *hugs*

I just thought the first skirt was too fabulous to pass up. Only £20!

My parents are giving me a credit card for "emergencies". I see alot of emergency shoes in my future...

It's the last night of the asos sale, go wild!

Credit cards ftw! Emergency shoes also ftw. Especially Irregular Choice. Mine suffers withdrawal symptoms if I don't use it.

I really shouldn't go wild because I spent 100 euro on Hairy Baby earlier....but I might be convinced!

PrivateEye · 12-01-2009 1:49am

Looking good on the style front fonpokno, first skirts nice. I like that kind of style on young 'uns

**As a bloke, my understanding of womens fashion is simplistic and things are either nice (i.e good) or not nice (not good)

Private Eye, my understanding of womens fashion is much the same as yours! It's pretty or not, end of!

janeybabe, i'm goin shopping tomorrow morning. I have no money at the minute but guaranteed i'll scrape some together for new shoes!

PrivateEye · 12-01-2009 2:35am

Grey, not black.

Guided by Voices t-shirt.

Just bought this;)

KatCookie · 13-01-2009 11:22pm

i like it Madame Razz ^^

im very tempted to buy these (in gold) to go with a dress for a formalish event of Saturday, but im not too sure if they will go with my dress similar in Colour only to this dress, except my dress is more greeny and greyish. kinda hard to explain,
Any opinions?

fonpokno · 13-01-2009 11:29pm

Personally I think you should buy the shoes anyway as they're beautiful. I have no idea if they'd go with the dress or not. Can't co-ordinate for the life of me...

KatCookie · 13-01-2009 11:37pm

Well, you see i'd never wear the shoes again becuase im not really a heels type person... Oh i dunno..

Twee. · 13-01-2009 11:44pm

Was in London yesterday and today. Had fun

American Apparel

(Looks better on her!)

Fred Perry

TopShop

Plus two tops I can't find pics of and an Animal Collective t-shirt. Went to see them last night!

PrivateEye · 14-01-2009 3:04pm

^Money well spent, American Apparel will be a welcome addition whenever they decide to actually open the place! The FP is nice, not seen the plain/without tips over here in a while, they look well.

Bank are getting angry I'd say.

irishvamp90 · 14-01-2009 9:33pm

got these on the way hopfully thursday or friday

Madame Razz · 14-01-2009 10:13pm

Very nice indeed!

I love the FP, the colour looks funny in the picture. But teamed with the AA skirt, it looks like a 1970s PE uniform :pac:
