Longford, but I saw them in Mullingar during the week too. I'd say any of the larger stores have pretty much the same stuff at the minute, lots of vintage-looking things!

Thank you.

Bit of a spree today, picked up a coat similar to the one below for work, beautiful Wool/Cashmere blend, very soft, very long, very elegant; it's my perfect black work coat:D

Then bought these in Schuh:

Followed by some sale shopping in Warehouse where I got me some grey skinny jeans, a black tunic, long olive green waistcoat, and lovely black striped top, and Debenhams where I picked up a gorgeous pair of black pumps and cankle hiding beige Gladiators:D, followed by a trip to Dunnes where I found a really cute Savida Navy and white polka dot dress on a sale rack which I teamed with a pair of Navy Mary Janes for the princely sum of €27:p

I also picked up a beautiful dress with a peacock pattern in one of the small boutiques in town. I

it:D

Was in Belfast yesterday and some of today. Scored these babies for £13.50 (they was £15 but I got a student discount!)

I also got a few make up brushes as my MAC 190 brush fell into water and now as I put foundation on my face the brush itself is shedding!

Left to right....
Pink Brush: Foundation and concealer brush £1.50 Pennys
Purple Brush: Blend and shade £1.50 Pennys
EyeBrow brush: £1.89 Superdrug
Foundation brush: £3.99 Superdrug.
Blending Brush: £1.99 Superdrug.

I also got this ring. My friend facebooked me about it like a week ago and I found it in River Island in Belfast for £9.99.

Get so many compliments on it, people are shocked when you say its from Penneys.

Just ordered these (and a pair of earrings) from asos with a voucher I got from my birthday:

It's the same for me when I wear the ring. Everytime I've wore it someone has commented on it!

lindtee · 30-08-2010 10:57AM

Definatley going to check out penneys later for those pieces of jewellery. Sapsorrow also posted some nice things that she picked up there too. Got the below from etsy. I have had my eye on it for ages, but I think it might be slightly too small...hoping to lose a little bit of weight:o Just think its so pretty.

he he I ended up hiking in the Burren the day before yesterday and was getting changed sitting on the open boot of the car and I fell backwards into the boot (trying to get my tights on) and split one of my snugger fitting Gunnes down the back trying to wriggle my way back out!

*tries not to laugh at the image* That's sad though, splitting a lovely gunne:( Hope you can get it fixed

ASOS was out stealing my money again, 15% off Asos stuff though so I couldn't resist!

Love these, dying to try them with skinny jeans.

I had been looking for a nice lbd for ages so fingers crossed this fits well!

phasers · 30-08-2010 01:25PM

New skirt!

<333 Darn asos and it's 15% discount codes! I really need to burn my laser card...

MIN2511 · 30-08-2010 01:30PM

Bought this on Sat in Tesco: http://www.clothingattesco.com/New-In-Womens/F+F-Belted-trench-coat/invt/bt021044&bklist=icat,4,buylists,featuredproducts,womens-macs

It's gorgeous! And €29

unepetite · 30-08-2010 02:07PM

Finally found myself some pretty underwear for the uncooperative combination of a small back size/big cup size! Justifying the splurge to myself by rationalising that lingerie is an investment

They're fab! Where did you get them?

Gauge · 30-08-2010 02:39PM

This arrived for me today:

Jacket

Kinda takes the sting out of winter arriving. It's so cosy- can't wait to start wearing it!!

T'Internet! They're all by a brand called DimitySO. I got the first one on Figleaves but they have a fairly small selection in my size at the moment so the others are from http://www.bras.co.nz ; they deliver to Ireland from New Zealand for about 10 Euro (which I reckon is fairly decent by today's delivery charge standards!)

Oh, just a tip if anyone is looking into them, definitely get one back size bigger as the band sizes are very small. E.g. I'm a 30FF in EVERY brand but I've to take a 32FF in these.

http://www.awear.com/new-in/teal-corsage-batwing-dress/invt/10401103teal/

€45 with student discount

Would normally find A-wear's dresses to be either extremely odd-fitting or much too short, with the odd gem to be found. This is really classy looking on, I love it. There's two other colours/patterns too.

I was looking at the dress on the website in grey and I liked it a lot but I imagined it wouldn't be nice in real life haha like you said weird fits and stuff in awear a lot of the time. and some stuff are just so short on me cos I'm tall

Corruptedmorals · 31-08-2010 01:10AM

Well I'm 5'5 which isn't tall but loads of their dresses would barely be decent on me, this one is a classier length, not knee-length but not far off- the transparent bit is lower than the lining. The neckline is slightly lower than the photo shows, but apart from that it's exactly as how it looks!

Quiet_thought · 31-08-2010 11:16AM

This arrived today, havn't tried it on yet but it looks and feels gorgeous. It' actaully a real hot hot pink!

Also got these in a more nude colour that they don't seem to have on the website

angusdeaton · 31-08-2010 12:53PM

Got these two on Asos. Should be delivered tomorrow!

Got 3 dresses today in Pamela Scott of all places. I had my eye on "101 idees" dresses there a couple of weeks ago, When I went in I couldn't spot any...After a lot of searching I did find 3 different ones, good news was when I saw them last they were down to €35 each....Today I got the 3 of them for €56, because of further reductions and 20% off:) Very nice on. Will still wear them for the autumn winter with cardigans/boots etc.

The Lovely Muffin · 31-08-2010 04:45PM

Bought these in Bay (outlet in Cleary's) today along with a Black dress which I cannot find on their website.

I will try and take a photo of the dress over the next few days.

Here's the Bracelets anyway.

Green beaded bracelet

I need to return the bracelets though as they are too big for my wrists/arms lol.:(

Along with that, I bought some Clinique items in Brown Thomas and the 'MAC' brush cleaners/shampoo.
