Thank you.

According to this website, the skirt is Topshop. I looked on Topshop's website, but couldn't find it:(

Is this it, or is it just similar?
Found the skirt on Topshop's website.

I've been clearing out my wardrobe. How the hell have I come to own four saris?

Yea! Getting your brows professionally done makes such a difference!

Yeah, I think I'll keep them maintained now. I guess I can start doing more interesting things with my eye makeup now!

If only I had eyelashes...

Are you sari you bought so many? *flees*

I got a whole outfit in Dunnes for 35 euro today.

Dress shoes and belt.
Navy and red go together, right?

I'm not surprised to hear it to be honest, There is something lacking in men's fashion in commercial terms, You see fabulous shows at fashion week bit it isn't translated onto magazines etc. What they need is a male Anna Wintour:D

Disappointing, what was the gist of it?

OldGoat · 21-03-2011 09:21AM

Sadly I can't say it was dissapointing in sofar as it was exactly what I was expecting.

Once you get past the 'Men are satorial idiots and can't make us wimmins happy in any way shape or form' retoric the main jist of the suggestions is to dress like a child in Tommy Hilfigger clothes.
There were one or two nice pieces mentioned but they have been around forever - Church shoes, RayBan wayfarers.
It's so disheartening to see a recomendation to "Wear a suit". A bit more detail of what suit, cut, material, might not go amiss. It's the equivilant of an article recomending that women wear a dress, without telling you any of the basic information like mini, maxi, A-shapes, lightwight summer, ballgown or whatever.

As for the layout of what you should be wearing when you are in your 20'2, 30's or 40's. ****ing hell! It's like looking at the Littlewoods childrens catalogue.

I'm going to look at "The Satorialist" just to reafirm that there is a modicum of taste out there somewhere.

OldGoat... you know Things about clothes. Where could I get two toned shoes? My boyfriend would love a pair amd I can't seem to find any. I'd be wary of buying them on the internet because I don't know where is reliable for mens shoes...

OldGoat · 21-03-2011 01:27PM

Afraid that internet is probably going to be your only option. Twotone - or 'spectator' shoes are rare as hens teeth to find in shoeshops. Try and buy from a UK source to avoid any measurment mix-ups. Or, if you have confidence in US measurments then the worls is your oyster. Stacy Adams do some nice choices particulary if you want something that is not black and white.

My favourite pair that unfortunatly they did not have in my canal-barge feet size were a two tone black shoe from Loake. The leather of the quarters was a different texture and finish to the patent leather toecaps. Absolutly lovely. I'm still hunting for a pair in my size.

You should! The stuff on that site is gorgeous!

reallyrose · 22-03-2011 10:12AM

I kinda want to buy about half the dresses on that site.

They are quite reasonably priced. When I was in the shop, I wanted to buy everything but my boyfriend had his "poor me in a clothes shop" face on so I had to leave... -_-

lindtee · 22-03-2011 11:38AM

Got my Forever 21 order today, very quick delivery and happy with my stuff, and the fact that my money went to a good cause:) In contrast I ordered something from an Irish site on the same day and it has not even been dispatched:mad:

The boohoo model cracks me up, the way she walks is so funny! http://www.boohoo.com/evening-dresses/sasha-monochrome-2-in-1-jersey-dress-with-corsage/invt/azz74441/

squeakyduck · 23-03-2011 11:34PM

it's way too tight for her to move!!!

LadyMayBelle · 23-03-2011 11:51PM

What's with the gomey smile on her face?? It almost looks like a jokey photo!

Her walk made me giggle; the poor girl is tiny but is still wedged into the skirt

Actually this one could be worse!

Hahahaha love it, it's like she has something between her legs and she's trying to stop it from falling out!

24-03-2011 12:37AM

Oh God that last one was just ridiculous. I feel sorry for the poor girl! (she's kinda cute though...har har)

phasers · 25-03-2011 10:24AM

CianRyan love your WDYWT :pac:

Although I have to ask: you know they're pyjama bottoms right?

The Lovely Muffin · 25-03-2011 10:31PM

For anyone interested in Lipsy dress, Minx in Mullingar have a similar version for €20 or €30. The only (as far as I could tell anyway) was the corsage was a different colour.

Also, does anyone know if the blue Lipsy dress worn by Amy Childs is still available? And maybe the style name/number of it? I've looked on ASOS and Lipsy.co.uk, but couldn't find it. Thanks.

Does anyone know where I could get some really funky buttons on the cheap. I got this mac in RI about 2 summers ago. It's a well loved jacket except the buttons fell off and I didn't realise they did and I can't find the buttons again.

I'd say new buttons would totally make over the jacket too!

Do you want matching buttons, or are you going all quirky and mismatching them?

reallyrose · 27-03-2011 06:38PM

Hickeys have many many buttons. Or if you would like to go extra quirky, there is the Yellow Brick Road shop near Ormond Quay (?) that sell all kinds of beads and things. You could buy some big beads and use them as buttons?

OldGoat · 27-03-2011 06:42PM

Go into charity shops and buy buttons. They usually have a coat attached.

boomkatalog · 27-03-2011 07:39PM

Speaking of charity shops, what's the general consensus with them in the city? I know down here (wouthwest) buying second hand stuff is embarrassing and something to be ashamed of :rolleyes:

Are people more open minded in the city, or is it just each to their own?
