If you wanted to get really DIY with it you could make your own buttons with polymer clay. There's some basic info here that pertains to bead making but it's the same process. I've never tried it but my sister has made some really lovely stuff. She made these earrings:
I'd say it'd be a fun way to jazz up fairly mediocre cardigans and such!
Oh, and my favourite Cork charity shops are the two on Princes Street, but I don't think any match the SVP in Galway, that place rules.
Ohh they're lovely, think my mum used to make stuff with that, was it ever called something else?
Princes street Enable Ireland is my fave too actually and the best value.
Oh man I LOVE that Svp shop in Galway, it clothed me from the age of 13 through to 19 with enough money spare for rollies and cans!

Couldn't find anything to match the Irregular choice shoes. I ordered this from Modcloth they are not similar but both quite unique and I think it works. No more shopping for a year
That's really lovely! You'll be like a garden on legs with that and the shoes :POhh they're lovely, think my mum used to make stuff with that, was it ever called something else?

I don't know, it's always been polymer that my sister used, though she knows more about it than I do.
The cancer society place just down from it is really good for dresses. I got this in there a week or two ago. Tis pretty but a bit costume-y!
Yeah the SVP is awesome. I started being recognised by staff and for a while I was getting little discounts. Discounts in a charity shop!
I miss that place!0 -

Aw man can't believe I missed that, it's so beautiful! Perfect with a really washed out pair of jeans and sandals in the summer

YEAH! Just bought this leather "See by Chloe" wallet at the weekend in BT's Galway. I'd been looking at Marc Jacobs and Mulberry wallets for WEEKS but they're very pricey and a little on the small side. Love this cos it works as a full zip wallet (no change or receipts falling out) AND can double-time as an elegant little clutch, fitting in my mobile and a lipstick if needed!
The leather is really soft, and I love the gold hardware on it. I think the look is simple but luxurious. Don't think this photo does it justice, really, but wanted to put up something

Where did you get that fabric Sapsorrow?? I love it! I want to make my entire wardrobe out of it!!
It's fab isn't it!
Sorry should've posted the link. I Pm'd her on Etsy to ask for a custom order, as the original listing she had advertised was for four fat quarters, so she kindly made a special listing for me.
It was less than 25 euros for the four yards including postage, which I think is reasonable for medium weight cotton.
Here's the original listing I found: http://www.etsy.com/listing/65902145/diy-patchwork-fabric-cotton-damask-four
And her shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/craftfabric?ref=seller_info

I've picked up cardigans and tshirts in H&M/Zara kids before, they're so cheap! Age 13-14 :cool:
Got this wire hairband thing in Penney's for €2. I love the print.
This "turband" from F21 was about €4.
