    I waaaaaaaant these all so bad. I have fake uggs but they're starting to fall apart so may invest in the real ones this winter. Also a black fitted polo top is so hard to find.

    Uggs are "like" "soo" last season. Serioulsy I havnt worn mine since the "incident" where I slipped on ice/snow crqap and fell on my hip I could hardly move for days, and they say these boots are for the winter! pfft a likely story!

    I'd spend the mula on some clothes nowhere expencive though I'd try and get as much stuff out of it that I can. OR I would get a cheap flight to London or even better to Rotterdam and shop there much better shops!!

    I'm not particularly bothered whether they've gone out of fashion or not because they're damn comfy. I don't wear heels and most flat boots just don't do it for me. I got a fake pair and I heart them and still try wear em as much as possible due to their comfiness.

    dudara those shoes are fantastic! I want them so bad now but i have no money :(

    I'd spend €300 on more shoes, probably a nice pair of brown boots, some new lingerie and a nice, new, sexy dress or skirt

    These possibly. I've a weakness for mountain gear.

    210175658_sand_200.jpg

    I like these, but a half shank in runners could be interesting for walking on concrete.

    210169985_tobacco_200.jpg

    Roughly around 100-150 euro for either pair, depending on where you bought them. Either would last about 3/4 years of heavy use before needing to be replaced. Both are totally waterproof and breatheable. Both are made from nubuck leather and nylon mesh, very comfy. And the soles of both absorb a lot of punishment and save your feet.

    Good shoes for me are a must. But then I walk a lot.

    Winter boots???

    Try these, got a pair of the older incarnation of them (In steel blue instead of red). Perfect for alpine hiking and ice climbing. They should save you in the horror of an Irish winter...

    Give me a colour and style and I'll find a mountaineering coat to match. Believe me they are the biz for keeping warm and dry :)

    Actually, I'd like a black coat like the one Jessica Alba (adult Nancy) was wearing in Sin City.

    I don't remember what she was wearing specifically. Um. Considering your figure, something long(ish) with clear line to compliment it? Something bulky might look off.

    Then again, this is coming from a guy with the fashion taste of a, well, thing with bad fashion taste.

    Edit: Found this:

    bruce_willis6.jpg

    Looks like a fur or thick wool "trenchcoat"/full coat.

    *thinks*

    I know where to go in Cork to buy those kind of coats for men, but I've no idea where you'd find them for a woman.

    *shrugs*

    Got a pair in Army Bargins for about €105 last year. Need another pair, as these soles are getting a bit worn.

    Pair of Katz black combats. Costs about €60 for a pair. Also @ Army Bargins.

    105

    225

    Then two or so long sleeved tops from Sound Cellar to make up the €300

    I got a great long black coat like that in M&S Per Una about 2 years ago for E150. The only problem is that I lost weight since then and now it hangs off me like a tent

    When does the sale start this year? I wasn't sure if they'd have a shoe sale this year since they just opened the new shoe salon a month or so ago

    I'm down in Cork, and they'd better have that sale. Those shoes are going to fix everything that is wrong and bad in my life!!

    I've gotten two pairs of prada shoes in the BT sales before at 75% off. There can be killler bargains

    HHMMM. Alot of high achievers here! Nobody went to pennys! I suppose it would take too long to spend€300 in there. So all the broke students are heading straight to BTs. :D
    Im sorry to say a roving pack of eskimo bandits have stolen the entire stock of Ugg boots so they are no longer avalible for your baskets. No smart ass traveling on Ryanair for them either!

    even though some of the shoes are gorgeous... changing the jeans & shirts to skirts and vest... i'd agree

    although a wknd in London is always good...

    Sale starts 28th of June - but I start my new job on the 27th so I can't exactly get time off to go to the sale :(

    Dudara, I don't know if this helps but those Prada wedges are on Neiman Marcus.com in the Sale section and they ship internationally if you order over the phone.

    holy crap some of you have expensive taste!
    i'd buy a load of stuff, nothing in particular. its rare for me to spend over 50e on any item of clothing, be it jeans shoes whatever. i'd fork out for a coat if i didn't already have too many, but thats it

    Id go to Oasis and stock up on summer tops. 2 of them for €40 - €50 each. Then Id hop down to BTs for a pair of seven jeans. Expensive but georgeous. Anyone know if anywhere else stocks them?

    I don't think anywhere else in Dublin stocks them but my friend got a pair in a boutique in Wexford. If you know anybody going to the States you should ask them to pick them up for you. I got mine in NY for $168 (€133) and they're about €220 in BT. Beware buying them on Ebay though, there are a lot of fakes out there (hard to believe but it's true).

    Net-a-porter have them in stock sometimes and you might get them on Neiman Marcus or Saks Fifth Avenue if they'll deliver to Ireland. They're a bit ubiquitous now though, I wouldn't buy another pair. Have a look for Citizens of Humanity, Paper Denim Cloth, Blue Cult, True Religion or James jeans: they're all around the same price and cut just as perfectly as Sevens are :)
