    Does anyone know roughly when/ how often Debenhams do their Blue Cross sale? I've picked out bridesmaids dresses from there with my bridesmaids but I may as well get them for the best price possible!

    Forgive me if I'm harsh here folks, but had a look at the photos from the Tony Awards and Marketa Iglova's choice of attire is..rather interesting.

    I liked her 'no fuss/down to earth charm when she became a 'celebrity' when Once came out, Im sure the dress is lovely but the choice of shoes?
    Did I miss something?

    the Vibram shoes? they're getting pretty big these days, ideally for running/sport but have started to become really fashionable.

    really want a pair myself too :)

    First one is gorgeous. Second is unremarkable, nothing stands out from it. Number one!

    What's people's opinions on this dress?

    http://store.americanapparel.eu/rsavv358.html

    Thinking about getting it in black, but can't make up my mind, as velvet can be tricky. I LOVE the double U-neck though. What say ye? :)

    I plumped for this one in the end:

    Another vote for the first one here Stenchblossoms! I think its gorgeous and perfect for a Summer wedding. I think the peblum dresses are too "trendy" and probably loads will be wearing similar dresses. I don't much like the print either.

    I think I want a pair of the vibrams even more considering the extreme reactions they get, be a proper fashion terrorist. :p

    €39 from Debenhams :D

    These arrived today via courier, however Debenhams never sent me an email saying they had been dispatched, so watch out for that if you've ordered from them, they don't always send dispatch emails.

    Love the shoes though, wore them today for the first time, they are so comfortable :D

    I can't help with the Blue Cross sale, but I got an email from Debenhams today saying their half price sale is now on, I don't know if it is of any use to you but said I'd post it up anyway :)

    ^ It looks a little bit sheer on the model. Is it? If it's even kind of see through, I'd put a cami underneath it, just for professionalism seeing as it is an interview.

    Got a white one? I think it would look better with white under it.

    Also, I need to see you soon.

    Thanks Muffin! Unfortunately the dresses I want aren't in the sale (booo!) But at least the girls have tried them on now, so when they do go on sale I can snap 'em up straight away :)

    Does anyone know what the deal is with that website mandmdirect.ie ?

    I'm just wondering why their gear is so cheap. I want to but good running shoes and they have some there for good money off but I don't want to be sold knockoffs or anything.

    Has anyone dealt with them before?

    M&M Direct are the real deal, I suppose they're a bit like an online TK Maxx! Never had any problems with them

    I've also used M&M direct a lot. Never had any problems at all with them. Saw an ad yesterday for an extra €5 off if you enter SUNW at the checkout (I didn't buy the sunday world, it was lying on the seat beside me :P).

    Today's paper (metro in London!) had voucher for Instyle magazine: you can get it for a pound... Best thing is that you either get 2 Body Shop eyeliners (worth 16pounds) OR big and curvy Body Shop mascara worth a tenner !! Two pounds gets all that!!!!

    Have tonnes of vouchers teehee!! 'twas well hidden on page 51!!

    So I wore this dress and someone else wore it as well. Small enough wedding so EVERYBODY noticed.

    So ...I went home and got changed....and so did she :D

    Had a good laugh about it.

    That's the second one of my ultimate fears after happening me (the other was dropping my dinner plate in the canteen :) )

    Was going to start a new thread but decided I asked yer opinions instead! :) So I'm going to my debs in two months time and I just realized that I'd want to start thinking of getting a dress. I don't really like the generic plain blue/red/pink satin dresses with loads of embellishments so I was thinking maybe a different one? I don't think I'd be brave enough to go for a short/cocktail dress so I don't feel there's many other options out there. I've found one but I'm not sure if it's really appropriate here. Just wondering what anyone of your opinions would be on this or have any suggestions? Thanks :)
