OOOHHHH! I have one too! I got it like 2 years back! I love it to bits. The padlock did fall off but my daddy worked his magic with superglue and a screwdriver!
I'm gonna bring my Chloe bag out tonight now! Thank you for ressurecting my Paddington!

I have a Paddington too, and it was a great investment. It has such lovely leather. Might take mine out, too!

Everytime I think I've exhausted the Oasis sale, I manage to find more goodies:

I bough a few more bits from the accessory stand but there's no pics online.

Okay I haven't bought them yet technically, but two pairs of Miss Selfridge brogues came into the shop today, one in Tan and one in Black in size 6, having never been worn with tags still on them (e61 / 40 english pounds). The manager priced them at 14.99 english pounds, and they fit, and I want!! If they are still there tomorrow..

That photo makes them look very man-ish, but you fashion folk know what I mean. Shall I? EEK!

Ooooh I like! I'd definitely get them. They'd look so cute with dresses, I've been after a pair like that for a while but they're so expensive in the shops.

Which shop do you work in? I never manage to find brand new brogues in Oxfam.

I raided Penney's today and got loads of bargains! Bought a fleecy grey duffel jacket, it's hooded which I love - I can never find a nice jacket with a hood and you need one living in Galway in the winter! It was only €19 so I couldnt leave it, and they had it in black and brown too. They have woolly slouchy berets for €2, I got the grey one but I think I might go back and get the pink and the white. And the comfiest black brogues for €9. Success!

Denisejcc · 23-08-2010 08:59PM

Debenhams buy one pair get the other half price

Chuchoter · 23-08-2010 09:10PM

This t-shirt, from a shop with an extraordinarily cute shop assistant I made a complete tit of myself in front of.

http://www.howies.co.uk/product.php/3500/24/

Few dresses in Camden, which looked nicer on the rack, and a cute bag in H&M.

Hair up (it will be too much with the shoulder detail. I'd wear a wrap to the church, bare shoulders and all! :P

Twee. · 23-08-2010 10:25PM

I'd go with hair up as well. Because of the shoulder detail, I wouldn't wear a necklace, but go for statement earrings and a big bangle.
A wrap/pashmina would probably be best as a cover up as the shoulder frill might stick out a bit with a cardigan or bolero. A structured blazer is also an option.

Just bought these off ASOS with the last fiver on a gift card. I don't know exactly what I'm going to do with them or wear them with but they're so pretty!

They're great, a real go with anything length by the looks of it.

Thanks Dotcomdolly! Yes, they do seem very versatile. In the shop I tried them on with a work dress (which didn't go at all!) and looked alarmingly like Puss in Boots from Shrek.

Um.......what are these?! They look like underwear for men who are um.... feeling up or down !!! :S

fonpokno · 24-08-2010 06:13PM

"Lace Cuffs" is the name they're given on the site! Basically gloves.

More treasures I've been gathering...

Huge tassled gypsy shawl (5 euro) and green wolly hat (5 euro) both from Positively 8th st vintage in Cork.

Boxer/victoriana style boots from TK maxx in Cork (40 euro)

Lovely cardis from Pennies, the blue one is actually more like the blue colour of my tights in the previous picture, the flash seems to have washed it out. (9 euro each)

Accessories from Pennies, really nice glass pearls (2 euro I think), headband (maybe 1.50) and hat (4 euro I think).

Vintage Gunne sax from Etsy. The lace is a bit damaged on one arm and the skirt has been shortened so it was only about 20euro.

Vintage gunne sax skirt with black lace underskirt, about 20euro on etsy.

Sapsorrow · 25-08-2010 01:16AM

Oh one more, got this sweet little vintage prairie dress reserved for me until I get a chance to top my card up ( I love etsy for doing that!), gonna get it taken up to just below my knees I'd say to make it more wearable...

From Etsy (about 23 euro with postage). When it rains, it pours eh!
