I bought the first dress on Asos,

black shoes on boohoo, I also bought the pink ones, you can see them a few posts back I love them!

The black dress with the frills is from miss selfridge, I could only get a small pic so i've included the link to it on the website, I love the dress, it's really cute but it's too short on me, I'm around 5"7 but whatever it is about my proportions the dress doesn't even cover my bum, I decided to hold on to the dress and am hoping I'll be able to find a cute little tutu style skirt to wear under it......anyone have any ideas?

The vest top is from topshop and the last picture there of the tshirt isn't the one I have, I have the vest version like the one above it but it has that design on it, I love the 2 of them, prefer the charcoal one though

Madame Razz · 19-08-2010 9:09pm

Amazon:)

They sell them in Peter Mark aswell I think:)

lindtee · 19-08-2010 9:45pm

After reading a couple of threads about leather satchels/manbags for college. I decided to go for the below on Amazon (even though I'm a laydee)(its real leather btw) Had £24 gift card balance left on my Amazon account so it *really* only cost me £14.50:) (total £38 ish)Did a bit of research on the brand "Rowallan" and it all seems good. Cost of same bag on another few websites is a whopping £80 - £89.99 (plus p&p) Hope its nice:)

I love the cardigan, mush have a look at it myself. I have only bought 2 dresses and 2 pairs if jeans since my son was born...he has an amazing wardrobe though!

biddywiddy · 20-08-2010 11:54am

Shopping in Newry yesterday. I really need to stop buying clothes. At least these were on sale

Floral maxi dress from Oasis
attachment.php?attachmentid=124867&stc=1&d=1282301340

Shoes from barratts - reduced to £20
attachment.php?attachmentid=124868&stc=1&d=1282301466

I also got a cool straw trilby (reduced to £5) and some flip flops (reduced to £2.40) in Accessorize. Can't find pics tho.

thesuburbs · 20-08-2010 2:13pm

Been getting ready for autumn/winter early! Last 3 things I bought:

River Island faux fur. Really warm & cozy.

Zara cape & skirt (obviously never to be worn together!). Skirt is longer then what I'd usually wear - just below the knee - but looks really nice on and sits mid-waist. Cape will be brilliant with a big jumper and jeans come winter.

Also got some urban outfitters tops from Irish Cancer Society for 3 euro after a tip on this board. Bargain

OOOHHHH! I have one too! I got it like 2 years back! I love it to bits. The padlock did fall off but my daddy worked his magic with superglue and a screwdriver!
I'm gonna bring my Chloe bag out tonight now! Thank you for ressurecting my Paddington!

I have a Paddington too, and it was a great investment. It has such lovely leather. Might take mine out, too!

Everytime I think I've exhausted the Oasis sale, I manage to find more goodies:

I bough a few more bits from the accessory stand but there's no pics online.

LadyMayBelle · 20-08-2010 4:59pm

Okay I haven't bought them yet technically, but two pairs of Miss Selfridge brogues came into the shop today, one in Tan and one in Black in size 6, having never been worn with tags still on them (e61 / 40 english pounds). The manager priced them at 14.99 english pounds, and they fit, and I want!! If they are still there tomorrow..

That photo makes them look very man-ish, but you fashion folk know what I mean. Shall I? EEK!

Ooooh I like! I'd definitely get them. They'd look so cute with dresses, I've been after a pair like that for a while but they're so expensive in the shops.

Which shop do you work in? I never manage to find brand new brogues in Oxfam.

The Cool · 23-08-2010 8:18pm

I raided Penney's today and got loads of bargains! Bought a fleecy grey duffel jacket, it's hooded which I love - I can never find a nice jacket with a hood and you need one living in Galway in the winter! It was only €19 so I couldnt leave it, and they had it in black and brown too. They have woolly slouchy berets for €2, I got the grey one but I think I might go back and get the pink and the white. And the comfiest black brogues for €9. Success!

Denisejcc · 23-08-2010 8:59pm

Debenhams buy one pair get the other half price

Chuchoter · 23-08-2010 9:10pm

This t-shirt, from a shop with an extraordinarily cute shop assistant I made a complete tit of myself in front of.

http://www.howies.co.uk/product.php/3500/24/

Few dresses in Camden, which looked nicer on the rack, and a cute bag in H&M.

random10 · 23-08-2010 9:31pm

Hair up (it will be too much with the shoulder detail. I'd wear a wrap to the church, bare shoulders and all! :P

Twee. · 23-08-2010 10:25pm

I'd go with hair up as well. Because of the shoulder detail, I wouldn't wear a necklace, but go for statement earrings and a big bangle.
A wrap/pashmina would probably be best as a cover up as the shoulder frill might stick out a bit with a cardigan or bolero. A structured blazer is also an option.

fonpokno · 24-08-2010 1:36pm

Just bought these off ASOS with the last fiver on a gift card. I don't know exactly what I'm going to do with them or wear them with but they're so pretty!

They're great, a real go with anything length by the looks of it.

Thanks Dotcomdolly! Yes, they do seem very versatile. In the shop I tried them on with a work dress (which didn't go at all!) and looked alarmingly like Puss in Boots from Shrek.

Um.......what are these?! They look like underwear for men who are um.... feeling up or down !!! :S

"Lace Cuffs" is the name they're given on the site! Basically gloves.

Sapsorrow · 25-08-2010 12:38am

More treasures I've been gathering...

Huge tassled gypsy shawl (5 euro) and green wolly hat (5 euro) both from Positively 8th st vintage in Cork.

Boxer/victoriana style boots from TK maxx in Cork (40 euro)

Lovely cardis from Pennies, the blue one is actually more like the blue colour of my tights in the previous picture, the flash seems to have washed it out. (9 euro each)

Accessories from Pennies, really nice glass pearls (2 euro I think), headband (maybe 1.50) and hat (4 euro I think).

Vintage Gunne sax from Etsy. The lace is a bit damaged on one arm and the skirt has been shortened so it was only about 20euro.

Vintage gunne sax skirt with black lace underskirt, about 20euro on etsy.

Sapsorrow · 25-08-2010 1:16am

Oh one more, got this sweet little vintage prairie dress reserved for me until I get a chance to top my card up ( I love etsy for doing that!), gonna get it taken up to just below my knees I'd say to make it more wearable...

From Etsy (about 23 euro with postage). When it rains, it pours eh!

Also collected pink check flannel shirt and this pintuck tunic from Next. They have €15 vouchers off your first online order in-store, I just used 2 alternate email adresses

eta - tunic is going back , awful on!
