This dress is not my usual style at all, but I've taken a liking to leather lately, and it was reduced to £40 so I said I'd give it a go.

Now if only more ladies thought your way!

Who says we already don't? :P We just don't all have the body for leather sadly!!

Got these beautiful patent pink penny loafers in the M&S sale. I'd seen them before Christmas but they were E60, so I didn't bother. However, today they were reduced down to E26. Lovely leather upper and very nice

Bought a Philips Sonicare electric toothbrush in Boots for approx E55. Got to keep the Appearance looking good

Also, I'm loving the Boots 1/2 price sale on Christmas gifts - a lot of the beauty sets are great value at 50% off. I've bought the following Cranberry and Cocoa Butter sets for E7 each. They have large shower gels and full size tubs of body butter and body scrub.

Got this in black in marks and spencers.

Also got a fabulous Jasper Conran coat in Debenhams but it's not on the website.

Found it! Doesn't look much in the picture but it's so pretty. It's swings out when I twirl in it!

One of my many purchases in the sales

Dolbert · 29-12-2010 10:23PM

Vintage 80s dress, ebay, €8.50!

Reduced from €70 to €35, Grahams, Clonmel

Also got a black & white pussy-bow polkadot dress in Penneys for €17, and two knitted Apricot dresses in the New Look sale, reduced from €35 to €13 each (no pics online though).

Futurecrook · 29-12-2010 10:54PM

Bought this in Wallis yesterday as my other coats aren't warm enough for the weather we've been having and are looking a little worse for wear. It's so comfy and warm.

MIN2511 · 29-12-2010 11:57PM

How much is that coat Futurecrook?

Futurecrook · 30-12-2010 12:02AM

It's €120. I originally went to town to buy a coat in the sales but couldn't find any coats that I really liked in any other shops. I figured it was worth it for a well made coat that I'll get a lot of use out of.

*Simone* · 30-12-2010 12:24AM

Got this dress (cant get a bigger pic but it's called '60s banded dress)

This arrived today from Astralboutique on Etsy. So bargainous and so freaking cool on;

it

fillefatale · 30-12-2010 05:01PM

Got no clothes in the sales, Oasis, River Island, Next and Accessorize were rubbish, but I don't need anything so it was ok. My favourite charity shop is closed until January 4th though:(

Got these in a local pharmacy, they had heaps of Calvin Klein, Urban Decay and Stila stuff for €5-7, it was mostly kind of browny or way too bright (greens and blues) - make-up that wouldn't be big sellers.

Urban Decay 'gingersnap' brow kit, perfect for my colouring and I was thinking I needed to sort my brows out anyway! Think this was about €7

Sally Hansen foundation brush, €3!

AAAACzvWzLkAAAAAARAppg.jpg?v=1291399164000

€3, to get eyes like Shelley Duvall of course -
shelley%20duvallNjgy.jpg

Boots Aromatherapy starter kit, has four essential oils, was €14, reduced to €7, lavender oil is €5 on its own and I was thinking of getting some anyway

And because I can't afford this:

bobbi brown concealer, €35ish

I used the €7.50 No7 Boots voucher and got this for €3.25 instead:

And got this for €4, reduced from €8, will be nice to stick into my flatmates birthday present in January

mini%20boots%20set.jpg

boots almond mini gift bag
(wrong picture but its just a wee body wash and body butter)

after saving my boots points up for five years I now have €30 on my card which I'll spend on some perfume when I get to a good-sized boots in the spring, any recommendations (for boots stores)? not sure what perfume I want yet, I have a gift card for Selfridges (as if i could afford any clothes in there), so might splash out on some Jo Malone fragrance

cee_jay · 30-12-2010 05:57PM

I went shopping in Dublin yesterday and went a bit mad. Was disappointed with the sales though - didn't find much reduced. Got a burgundy jumper dress in Next though which was reduced from €54 to €17 though which is so warm and snuggly - can't find a picture online though.

Got these boots in New Look:
210297024?$get_the_look$

Also got these in New Look:
212967904?$get_the_look$

Thanks - think it was €15 off or something like that. I wasn't even looking for a coat, just wasting time in the shop waiting on my aunt so tried it on - and just heard a voice (my aunt) behind me saying how fab it was so bought it. I love the hood on it - the lining is black with white polka dots.

First time trying to put up a pic so hopefully it works! Got these shoes today, the pic doesn't do them justice really.

I can't seem to get that picture sorted, sorry!

Went and bought this today - its fab. Its extremely short on me though so I will be wearing it as a top.

I have been searching everywhere for this at an affordable price! Please tell me the pharmacy you got it in is in Dublin???

I splashed out on this a couple of years ago. Seriously not worth it. Its hard to apply and is more like an intense stage make up that would be used under extreme harsh lights at a distance. Even rimmel is better, I think.
