    I don't have any I'm afraid! And defo no model! I'm a size ten, 5' 7", if that makes any difference!

    This may sound a little prissy, but bear with me!!
    At the weekend on a trip back home, my wallet zip broke so I spotted a cute polka dot one in AWear; they had polka for ones, ones with stars, ducks etc.. Really cute and not expensive ( I feel prissy because it was only 6euro!) . Had a look inside and it had all I wanted; a zipped section, space for a photo and lots of pockets for cards. Great.

    On the way back to London I did the transfer; only to discover the card sections don't hold the card unless the cards are wedged in; I could only fit one card in and even that was a struggle! The cards ate standard size credit card, boots card, extra vision card etc, not a big size! Basically I fitted about four cards in and they are wedged in so much it will be a pain getting them out every time; I just though wallets should be pretty standard?

    The moaning Michael in me wanted to write as I can't callback to the shop... Is it worth it just for the email sake? I really have feck all to do!

    Wallet is so cute other than its not fit for purpose!

    Spent the past couple of weeks doing a huge clear out including about 25 black bags of my clothes and shoes and made a pledge not to buy anymore things as I still have so much I haven't even worn......but then I saw these Dr Martens on Branch309 for £45.

    But luckily they are sold out in my size! They are having a sale on other dr martens too....must resist!

    I was looking at those too, hovering over the buy button! Can't for the life of me figure out what I'd wear them with though, I'm not really one for heels and I'd feel too tall in 'em. :rolleyes:

    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.
    http://www.rte.ie/ten/2012/0611/tonys.html

    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 :)

    What's people's opinions on this dress?

    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.

    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

    ^ 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.

    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?

    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

    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 :)

    If you're looking for simple dresses that aren't satiny I got mine in sheena's boutique on Oliver plunkett street. I was the same as you in that I didn't want a typical debs dress and they had some nice dresses! Pamela Scott is worth a look too :)

    Edit: that dress you linked would be lovely for a debs :)

    Ah the debs, I loved my dress :) Got it about 7 months before the event, at a sample sale for only €70! Alterations were about €20. It was chocolate brown, full length and I wore a leopard print cropped jacket over it. Too bad the night was crap!

    Mine was €59 at a knackery shop in a shopping centre (it sold pink velour tracksuits with a backwards playboy bunny on them...) and there in the corner was the dress. Wasn't looking for it, just saw it and knew. Wish I could fit back into it, it's beautiful :( Red strapless cocktail dress, to the knee, with black lace over the red.

    I had my dress made, it cost E200. E100 for the materials and E100 to be made. The lady who made the dress is a good friend of the family though so she probably charged a very reduced price for the labour.:p I loved it, it was a coffee brown, and had a drape over the front and back.
