I'm heading away to Prague and Budapest in a couple of weeks and figured that I needed some boots that could actually handle the snow so I got these. For some reason I'm a bit worried that I won't like them, particularly as they're more expensive then I'd usually pay (I'm a bit of a cheapskate! ) but hopefully not as I've been looking for a nice pair of over the knees for a while!


€58.22 with another 10% off (JAN10) on ASOS

Bought these boots in oxblood from Duo in their winter sale. €215 including delivery to Ireland (God bless Duo and their ability to cater for muscly calves!)

DonnaDarko09

Got these last weekend...expensive but really needed new boots and I HATE wearing bad quality ones! Should hopefully get 2+ years out of like my last pair so thinking of as an investment.

Got this purple tea dress from Tesco, have one very similar but have worn it to bits so this is a nice replacement.

Cathy I notice you buy quite a few things in Tesco - do you get them online or in store?

I did buy online but tend to buy in store now.

Was just wondering as I didn't think my local T had a very good selection but I may give it a closer look :-) You seem to pick up lovely things @ lovely prices!

iv always loved the quality of jack wills stuff, love the thickness of the basic t shirts etc ,the price does not bother me as i love the quallity of the product, im a bit annoyed as one or two of the things below were sale on wednesday and i was about to get them but had to pay out for a bill and as i went to buy them today they were full price god dammit

also all these little scrouts with massive quiffs walking around wearing the un missiable JW logo is irratating me so much :mad::mad: who ever made jack wills known and to be like abercrombie,american eagle etc deserve a box from me :P

I hear ya AVA - the brand has become quite ubiquitous in the past year or two. :rolleyes:

I still love them though. Products are spendy and plain but great quality

Nice purchases btw

Edit: also, Asos have started stocking JW as of late which is handy considering that they regularly has discount codes.

i dont wear anything that has the JW on it or any words etc , its just so irritating!! i remember about 3 or four years ago when id wear a shirt or v neck jumper and id have mates looking at me like i was posh and that because supposedly it was up there with tommy hilfiger and them "posh" brands lol now every "boyrah" in town wears jw hoody and t shirts etc and out were i am in blanch , and they all have zero blade hair cuts on the side and the massive quiff on top :mad:
i remeber it use to be the typical "southsider" wearing jw , and now its the typical "northsider" :P grrrrr

its good with asos but with the code it still takes it down to tha shop price with some things :P

Picked this up in the New Look Sale today, €20:



I've found the sizes in New Look to be a bit off lately, I'm having to get a size larger than normal even though I've stayed the same size in all the other stores

Faith

Honerbright, I was going to buy that dress at full price ages ago! I decided against it because I thought it looked really short (I was browsing online). How is it in reality?

Longer than I expected! Sits about 2 inches above my knee, but I'm a little on the short side (5'4"). It is very flattening at the chest, but not uncomfortably so.

Faith

Thanks! I'm 5'5 so I might still keep an eye out for it

Modalu bag from TK Maxx - in clearance for 87e - not too sure about the flowers!

One of my many resolutions this year is to cut down on the impulsive buys, so far so good even though we are only 3weeks into the year.

I have been swooning over a scarf on different blogs for a couple of months now and I've finally found a very similar one on ebay. Happy!

Beautiful! Do you mind sharing the eBay seller?

Bought these in the 70% sale in BTs (€45 instead of €170). It's rare you get a size 9 in the sales but I struck lucky. Interesting to note the difference in the US Amazon list price versus the full BT price!

I think the seller is 2008pro? If you just search tartan scarf it should show up as one of the first listed. It is coming from Hong Kong but as it's only €22 ish I'm hoping I won't be caught to pay customs.

Miola boots. Saw them in Aldo for €100 then found the online on houseoffraser.co.uk ~€65 with free delivery.

Picked these up in New Look yesterday - €29.99



And then Unidays sent me an email with 20% off New Look today so I bought:


€17.99 -> €14.39


€17.99 -> €14.39


€14.99 -> €11.99


€22.99 -> €18.39

Now no more spending!

Love that polka dot shirt!

I got these beauties for €30 in Topshop.

SmallTeapot

This beauty is winging it's way to me courtesy of asos (with a little help from the 20% unidays discount).




Now if only I had a racing green Jaguar car to match...

Kintarō Hattori

Yes, yes I did. Roughly €17 delivered from eBay.

Steel & Jelly casual shirt. About €23 delivered from eBay. I had seen this in TK Maxx a week or two ago but it was too small. Searched for the brand on eBay and there was the one I was looking for, albeit secondhand.

€31 with student discount from asos. I love this shape but I'm a curvy 12 so I don't think they do me any favours

I bought two of the regular t-shirt dresses from ASOS recently but had to send them back. I think you need to be really slim and flat chested or else it looks like you're trying to cover up weight.

Im a 12/14.

Tommy Hilfiger outlet in Kildare village, reduced from €69 to €30

I really wanted pure pink New Balance, but it seems they only make them for children So I got these from Office, and they came with a second pair of laces in pink, so I'm getting the colour in

First one was 22.95 and the second one was 25.95.

I went in originally to buy the second one as my friend wore it to my wedding and it was absolutely fab. The first one was instant attraction in Zara! I couldn't say no to it!

They're beautiful. I have one like the second one but its green. One of the stones fell put recently and it's sort of unwearable since. Only wore it 3 times

Aww that's such a pity. I think you should go to Zara and treat yourself to this one to make up for the pain!:)

Kate Middleton and Mary Berry both wore the second one! Its absolutely gorgeous and love the first one too.

I love this! How do you find the fit on? Is the quality good?

Tan Loafers from Dune. I have not yet seen them IRL, but hoping the leather is soft somewhat



Tan Suede ankle booties from Dune (via asos). Thought they looked similar to the Isabel Marant Dicker boots

CathyMoran

Got this knitted dress from Tesco in the sales - really nice on in a bodycon shape.

Thanks The fabric is a sort of stretchy velvet, perfect for winter really. As it's stretchy it fits perfectly. They have another stunner here in the same fabric, wouldn't work on me though unfortunately!

Just when I thought I couldn't buy anymore I see this
