Picked up this top in H&M for 19.99.Delighted with it because I think it'll look lovely with dark or black jeans on a night out.

The Cool

For a wedding next month:

Asos, €41


New Look, reduced €30 to €20. They remind me of Jimmy Choo Anouks!


Not this exact clutch but close enough, €30. NL as well.


Need to figure out jewellery now, think I might do a loose updo and subtle gold dangly earrings.

I didn't post the dress but I went looking for it too so: http://m.asos.com/mt/www.asos.com/ASOS-Curve/ASOS-CURVE-Midi-Skater-Dress-With-Bardot-Cross-Front/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=5122524

Something incredibly useful for this thread is using Google Chrome as your browser, right clicking the image, and selecting search Google for this image, so handy for quickly finding the link and works on mobile too!

Got this for my work Christmas party in 3 weeks. It's a fancy affair so I'm using it as a good excuse to wear a full length dress

Think I may get this belt for it too.

Reckon I could get away with gold shoes with it? I'm not the biggest fan of my feet and so hate wearing sandals though I think sandals would probably look best.

Got this dress - needed to get something nice for the work Christmas party!

I sold a few dresses, so naturally went on a VoH sale bender

This arrived today and it's not nice at all it's a very high empire line around the bust rather than closer to the waist unfortunately. Makes me look incredibly busty (in a bad way!) and almost looks like maternity wear on me, not flattering . Back it goes, the search continues! So disappointing.

This Asos dress in black for my Christmas party in December, was originally 66 Euro, reduced to 27! Now just hope it fits ok....

Michellenman

Right, attempt no. 2 at Christmas party dress let's hope this one turns out nicer when it's on

This came today... and I hate it! I went a size up to be safe but no good. The top crossover off the shoulder bit doesn't sit off my shoulder, it rides up so the straps go over my shoulders instead of round my arms, and if I pull it down then the bust part is too low.
Also, I have a tummy and the dress makes me feel like a spud. So, it's going back!
Back to the drawing board for this wedding in 2 weeks, grr!

I ordered this a month ago and it was the exact same thing for me. The crossover part just doesn't work, there's not enough material or something? I sized up too and was practically welded into it. I was raging. Hope you find something in time.

no sorry you can't, was just taking the pic from the UK site. Unless you did parcel motel. Euro to sterling rate is so poor now though not worth it though.

Sperry Gold cup boat shoes

I've always been a fan of deck shoes but used to wear Dubarry. Since I came across Sperry I've sold or donated all the dubes and I'll never go near them again. Decided to treat myself with these ones and since they arrived today I can't take them off. Lambskin lining and a memory foam insole. Like walking around on two preppy pillows

TrustedApple

This arrived and is gorgeous

It's darker than the pics, more of a true red than the orangey tinge it has in the pics. I'm 5' 0 so even with my heels I'll need to get 2/3 inches off it. Going to get it taken up so that's floor length on me rather than ankle grazing as in the pic.

As an aside, the zip it very stiff. When I have someone to help it's no problem but I cant zip it up alone. Any tips on what can help this? I won't have any help on the night unfortunately! It's like it gets stuck where the skirt seam meets the bodice seam. It's fits well and isn't tight, it's just getting the zip over the seam by myself that I'm struggling with! Thanks in advance

mynameis905

Pencil lead will loosen up a stiff zip.

SmallTeapot

Vaseline along the zip maybe? Unreal dress btw

Picked up this playsuit for my christmas party.I saw it across the shop and made a beeline to it.Then I saw it was petites and my heart dropped so off I went disheartedned then walking back by the shop later I decided I'd at least try it on just so it'd be put out of my mind and it fit grand.So happy.Now to lash one some serious amount of tan and pick up some nude sandals.Going to wear it for New Years too!





Picked up these three bits in Newlook aswell.

Lovely dress. Do you have a link for it by any chance? I can't see it on the site.

Thank you, unfortunately it is very old stock and I bought mine on eBay. There are a good few of them on eBay at the minute.

The style name of the dress I bought is the "Slinky wrap dress", it comes in various colours red, black, oxblood, khaki and possibly more.

Got this about 2 weeks ago in TK Maxx for about €75. The website doesn't really do it any favours as it's quite smart in the flesh.

Got this for the cold cold days to come. Also in TK Maxx for €90.

Ordered a new pair of shoes today, won't wear them until Spring...

Have a very very similar pair in blue that I got 3 Spring/Summers out of

Ordered a Goyard Saint Sulprice today. You have to order them directly from their shop in Paris over the phone or email as they don't sell online but it was far easier that I thought. It should be here Tuesday. I got it in red it was that or navy but I think red will age better. I couldn't find any good pictures but it just like this is red.

Was in the US recently for work, so of course I went shopping. Bought lots of standard worky stuff as well as a few nice bits

Love Moschino brown leather gloves, $80 in Century 21



A pair of Kate Spade purple patent leather ballerina style flats for $35 in Saks Off Fifth Avenue. The photo doesn't do them justice, as they're actually quite structured



This adorable Tommy Hilfiger fox jumper - thin yet cosy. $40 approx in Macy's



Under Armour training shoes, appox $50 in the outlets on Black Friday.

I needed some new t-shirts so went for something a little different from the traditional cotton t-shirt.

While at it I picked up some trousers suitable for the bad weather.

Warm padded petite camel coat from Wallis - I got it reduced to 70Eur, love it.

mynameis905

Ordered quite a lot of stuff over the past few days, now to wait for them to arrive and decide what I'm going to keep.

Sports jacket in sea-green pennine tweed, ctshirts.co.uk



Two Timberland blazers, one in beige and one in forest green. timberland.eu





Ordered a few of these merino wool jumpers in light grey, teal blue, pine green and navy at the start of autumn and have been getting great wear out of them. ctshirts.co.uk

I haven't bought clothes in ages, mainly because I'm 3 months pregnant and afraid to buy anything as maternity is too big and I'll be too fat for regular clothes! I picked up these slim leg Roxy jogging bottoms in TK Maxx today, for only €12.99! At least I can wear these for a while! Will be making my way to Topshop maternity section after Christmas for a few pairs of jeans!

heathersissy79

I bought this dress in Enable Ireland charity shop on George's St. It's size 8 so is nice and figure hugging. I'll wear it with a petticoat to flare out the skirt. It will look fab with my red 5 inch patent high heel pumps. I'll probably wear sheer nude pantyhose. For this look I think I'll go blonde with either a red alice hairband or a big red bow in my hair!

Ciarrai76

I got an early Christmas pressie today! I had to go get them myself, but they are from my husband! They are Puma Carson Knit runner and I got them in DV8.

The Cool

Got these for Christmas from the boyfriend, from Schuh.

lovely colour! I resurrected my white & navy ones of those this summer! I must have bought mine in 2006 and they seem to be all the fashion again!

Yes! I wanted a pair when I was 15 but my mum wouldn't buy them for me. Only had to wait 12 years :pac:

Got myself sorted with a waterproof jacket and trousers so light footwear was the last thing to get. I placed an order with Sports Direct on Monday, which was my first time dealing with them and it was delivered today- so very impressive considering it's Christmas week. Got the above for €27.60 excluding delivery.

I'm the most organised I've ever been for a crappy winter and it turns out to be one of the warmest, if not the warmest December on record

Lia_lia

Just ordered these from the Schuh sale. Was admiring them in the shop a few weeks ago. Only €33.25 if you include student discount (my Unidays account still thinks I'm a student, yay!). Reduced from €73.00, not bad!

StripedBoxers

Both from Debenhams.

Call It Spring Taupe 'Ameila' high heeled ankle boots



Call It Spring Dark brown 'Camorone' suedette high boots



Really want to get the Camorone boots in black as well, hopefully they get my size back in stock

dudara

I needed new shoes and boots that would be suitable for work. My only criteria is that shoes need to be reasonably comfortable and must have leather outer and inner.

Novella low cut ankle boots from Carl Scarpa - €89



Gabor high cut shoes (or low cut ankle boots) - €80 in Thomas Patrick



Finally, a pair of black courts from Clarks €50

Collectif have 50% off almost everything on their website with the code winter15
