    Think I found a bargain of the century for me!! (well technically for my son)


    Pair of Quiksilver ski trousers, they are aged 16 (but he's 11 and tall, won't be long growing into them!). We're not going skiiing, we attend outdoor motoring events and could be outside from 8 or 9am until 5 or 6pm, himself loves it! My husband has a similar pair himself and loves them to bits!


    The prices : €13!! Yes 1-3 €13!! RRP per TK Maxx was €150 but the Quiksilver tag says 109.


    The link below is a quite similar pair.

    These arrived today and I said I would post here about the sizing in case any of you were thinking of ordering boots from this brand.

    I ordered a size six in both, the brown Camorone boots are a true size six, they're a perfect fit, the beige Ameila ones however, are definitely more of a seven. My mam tried them on and they fit her perfectly and she was wearing a pair of thick wool socks so they're definitely not a size six.

    Both boots seem to be great quality, seem sturdy, feel comfortable (though I've not worn them yet obviously).

    Hope this is of some help to anyone thinking of ordering from this brand :)

    Wanted this dress http://www.oasis-stores.com/scarf-print-skater/dresses/oasis/fcp-product/5694861 but they didn't have any in stock in Limerick city branch so picked up a fairly similar one in Mango (not on website) half price at €25!

    These are such a pretty colour and such a bargain! http://www.debenhams.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10052_10001_103020450249_-1 They are supposed to be ankle grazers but they're perfectly full length on me (5 foot 4). I bought a size down and they are perfect.
    This is much, much nicer in person! Fabulous colour and hangs beautifully http://www.cosstores.com/ie/Women/Sale/Knitwear/Wool-mix_jersey_top/7060845-37291511.1#c-6758202
    These are great, relaxed fit, comfy jeans with a higher than average waistline. http://www.clothingattesco.com/womens-jeans/f+f-light-wash-super-soft-skinny-jeans/invt/jl511172&bklist=icat,4,shop,catgwomens,womens-jeans

    Continuing my adventures in euro-prep, picked up a bottle green Lacoste jumper in Merino wool, €150 from my local old-timey menswear shop. Steep, but jumpers like this are a great investment. I have an older Lacoste jumper in navy that saw me through six winters and looked as good as new until an ex-girlfriend decided that it would be a good idea to lob it in the washing machine at 60 degrees.

    Justifying this splurge with the fact that I currently have one handbag, haven’t bought one in over 3 years and need a large, practical tote. Plus, 50% off!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,533 ✭✭✭Ciarrai76


    I'm still not really buying any new clothes at the moment as I will need maternity wear soon, so no point buying clothes that I can't fit into!
    All I bought lately is a hoody in Penney's....very exciting! However it is only €8 :)

    I forgot I also got this in Penney's, although the one I got is in navy stripes. I got a chunky knit v-neck oversized jumper there too before Christmas, but I can't find the image now.

    Got these in Schuh today. Reduced from €163 to €112. And got another 15% off for writing a review for another pair of shoes...so they cost about €95. Still expensive enough but I love them! Very comfy and all furry inside.

    Never thought I'd see the day where I'd be buying a pair of Ugg boots, but here we are. :o

    I haven't bought any maternity wear yet, although I will be next week! I did get a pair of legging type pants in Topshop today. They have thick elasticated panels, and are really comfy and apparently loads of pregnant ladies buy them!

    Got this dress from Miss Selfridge for my graduation next month. It's £45, and I got 20% off with Unidays which was a help! I ordered it in both the 8 and the 10 so I'm hoping one of them will look nice on! :o

    All from shein.com

    I saw it recommended by a blogger and the prices were good enough to not really care if shipping took ages! The two skirts, black top and earrings for €57, free delivery too and a surprise free gift (probably tat but still!) I really like that people who've bought the items before can uploads pics of them wearing it! Sizing is exceptionally small though, I ordered in large and extra large based on the waist inches on the size guide and would normally wear a 12!

    Not expecting much but Looking forward to seeing what the quality is like!

    Please post when you get these to tell us bout sizing and quality etc!


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,662 Mod ✭✭✭✭Faith


    Seconded! Is it a chinese site? I'm always reluctant to order from them because sizing is so small.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,195 ✭✭✭✭Michellenman


    I actually don't know where it is! It kinda looks like aliexpress or something but this place offer 48hour delivery in the US so surely it couldn't be?

    Will let you know how long it takes and what the quality is like! I'm quietly confident it'll be ok.. The green skirt has lots of positive reviews (regarding quality, it's acknowledged the sizes are small!) and the smoky skirt is actually the same skirt the blogger had bought and she seemed pleased (and it looked great!)! The lace top looks like it could look cheap and shiny but it was only €11 and the earrings were just €5 so if they do for one night I wouldn't be annoyed :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,180 ✭✭✭tomissex

    I got this oversized shirt from Penney's last week, only €9. It should do fine during my pregnancy & when the weather eventually gets a bit better! At least Penney's is good for oversized tops which will act like maternity wear for me! :)

    Ecco, by way of Paul Byron, half price at €67.50. Never thought I'd be wearing Ecco shoes anytime before 50 but here I am! They're ridiculously comfortable and I figured they'll be fantastic for walking around all day in.
