I had to use up a voucher for Dorothy Perkins, and found this jumper reduced to €15. Its a sort of light aqua colour, really nice for spring

just wondering if anyone knew where else i could get this jacket or similar. im mad about it, but it was out of stock when i went to buy it :mad:

If you are based in Dublin you could try Promod in Debenhams. You could even give them a buzz to see if they could source it for you. Staff there are very helpful. Word of warning re the sizing, I found it to be generously sized.

I right click on the photo and select 'copy URL'

Then, back here, choose the envelope looking icon (it's yellow) and paste the address in.

Thank you! I'll try it now

Ciarrai76

Got a pair of Khaki green skinnies in Penny's today for €5!!! they fit really well too....love a bargain

Legs.Eleven

Bought these on impulse today. Really good quality with good, strong thick leather made here in Spain and are reduced from 130 to 69 squids and they go with absolutely everything. I don't wear heels at all but these make everything look dressy and hopefully they'll last for years.

I badly needed new runners because my old ones were falling apart. I read good things about the New Balance brand and I just couldn't resist the bright purple and orange ones! They are seriously comfy.

Schuh €90

Pang

Both from Zara.

Desperately needed a casual jacket so got this for 49.95. Zara is so much cheaper in Spain and Portugal than here.



This handbag for 29.95

Bought this today in New Look for €24.99 thought the stripes would make it really unflattering but they don't seem to! Looking forward to putting this with some leggings and biker boots.



And I was lucky enough to receive this as a very early birthday present

Pang, that Zara handbag is lovely. Disappointed to see it's €10 dearer on the Irish Zara site though.

I swear everything was at least 10 euro cheaper in Portugal than here. One jacket was 20 euro less. I just wish I had had more money saved as there was so much fab clothing!

eviltimeban

Vintage Polo Ralph Lauren tie, got it for 9 euro.

This image is from Zara, but I got an identical one in Penneys for 9.99 Can't find a pic of the Penneys one online. I love it, although I've run into 2 people with the same one in the past week - such is the norm with Penneys stuff!

that's a lovely bag! is there a longer strap on it? I need a new bag, mainly for work. I have bought a few bags in the past year in TK Maxx, brands which I considered good, such as Bessie London & Nika, but they are starting to look really shabby, especially the Bessie one! I am better off buying bags in Penney's at this stage! I wish I could afford a good leather handbag though, everything is so expensive, but I know it would last!

I got a lovely bag in Mango, like this one but in red and it seems very good quality, like it's going to last. I only have it a few months but it still looks like new! And they aren't massively expensive.

Yep! You can wear it satchel style, goes right down to your hip

Love that penneys bag!! Deffo on the hunt for that tomorrow!

Really want to get my hands on a black and white check shirt..... Off I go for a nosy online

Today was payday, treated the OH to a pot of that hair gel Paul Galvin is always banging on about, so said I'd treat myself to this From asos

missrandomer

Just picked this jacket up from Dorothy perkins €16 sure how can you pass it :rolleyes:

paulers06

Got this blouse and pair of MIH jeans in ASOS. I'd been looking for a pair of flared jeans and the 36" leg sold them to me

Corruptedmorals

Accessorize. I've been on the lookout for this style and colour for over a year. Finally!

Update on the fit of this. Wore this to a ball over the weekend, very appropriate I thought!

I'm 5'7.5" and a 12. The dress is a perfect fit, fitted around the bust, nips the waist and skims over the hips nicely. Didn't feel too tight at all. It hits just above the knee on me so a decent length, which is something I find hard to get at my height.

The only downside is the layered material over the bust is quite thin so you must have the correct undies on otherwise they *might* be noticeable.

All in all I love this dress! Am eyeing up the other colours already.

Liam McPoyle

Purchased both of the above from a very cool lady by the name of Elisabeth Hamilton over the weekend. She hand makes everything herself and makes custom clothes by request. Fans of the Rockabilly style should check her out and support someone thats doing something thats imo pretty damn cool.

Justifying my spending today as it is "Treat Yourself Thursday"





All from ASOS, not sure of prices I think the bag was 50% off, the purse and coat 20% off and I paid full price for the scarf. I know it seems like I'm heading into winter but hey it's Ireland!

Twee.

I got a really nice gingham black and white shirt from Uniqlo.

SmallTeapot

From asos:

Duffle coat



This cute coat has been on my wishlist for a while now, but couldn't justify paying full price for it. 20% asos code was a good incentive.

..............Also love that it has tartan lining!! (even if no-one sees it! )

Salty

Got this snood on ASOS, €8.42 with the 20% off code:



And got these trousers from River Island, reduced from €40 to €25.:) So handy being able to have them delivered free to the store too - no extra delivery charge!

CathyMoran

Bodycon denim dress from H&M, had to get a bigger size than I normally take as it was small on the chest but otherwise love it. Note, this is only available in the Dundrom branch. Was 49.45Eur

dudara

Picked up this Kate Spade chronograph watch for $112 in Nordstrom Rack, probably has RRP around $250

Avoid these wallets at all cost, have never felt such cheap material before so disappointed Loved everything from my ASOS order though!

Belle E. Flops

Saw this t-shirt on a blogger and I couldn't help myself getting one!

Found them on ebay and I am just after ordering one in burgundy with white print.

That really is so gorgeous. I wish I could justify €650 on a purse but I don't think I'd be able to get over the shock of spending so much on something so little!

It was a 21st birthday present to myself. I have literally wanted one for ages and once I'm sick of it they are really easy to sell on =]

I am justifying myself someday buying a chanel bag with the fact that it will be an heirloom, something to pass onto my daughter, niece or whoever (not really its mine FOREVER....but yanno, for justification:o)

Those bags go up in value every year. Thats enough justification =P

purplecow1977

I don't get these 'investment' things like handbags etc.
I think it's justification to assure yourself it's okay to spend so much on something so small!
For me, that's 2 months rent but everyone's priorities are different I guess :-)
It is lovely!
I forgot this isn't a 'chat' thread so here's my purchase contribution!!

Sportsworld €30


New Look €11

ENMcD

Bought this to wear for my birthday this weekend Zara

and these to go with Penneys

Faith

I bought this Closet dress from ASOS for my upcoming engagement party:



I've just tried it on and I'm not sure about it . It's very flattering from the waist down, but there's weird strap thingies on the shoulders that aren't obvious from the picture at all and make the sleeves look really weird. They're the type designed to hold up sleeves at different lengths, but they're only decorative so they're useless . The bust area is also swimming on me, despite me having a large bust. I might cut off the shoulder things and pin the bust in and see how it looks then.

It's really disappointing though because it's so pretty!

barleybooley

Was Stateside for the last few weeks and picked up tons. Pick of the bunch shown below:



To hold my new iPhone 5S



These were reduced from something like $180 to $35 in Macy's



This dress looks nicer in person and was reduced to $25



And now I'm flat broke. Worth it though!

Warehouse! €25 on sale.

From Zara. I've wanted asymmetric heels like these for years!
