Cant wait for it to come. Have been looking for a new purse for a while now.

Need a new pair of boots and cannot for the life of me find the perfect pair for me

On sale for £20 from £48

Was £45, now £18

Was £20, now £10 - 100% wool.

All from People Tree. I promised myself not to buy anything else, but these are fair trade so I thought I'd splash out for the last time for a long while!

Why can't they be pretty?! Or even just less offensive colours?

Anyway €66.50 down form 90-something in Arnotts.

€6.50 in JD Sports.

New years resolution...

Hey guys...first post here, I'm all scared!

Just had to tell someone about my new coat, I'm so excited! Had been stalking the shops and the net (literally stalking, in fact I've probably been caught staring at women purely because of their coats..) Just didn't like the military style and couldn't find anything I liked. Had seen this one online on the oasis website and didn't like it, but it's totally different on, and the collar is nothing like it is in the picture. Also, it was super reduced in the sale so I can always get another warmer one next year!

Also got this dress from asos...possibly slightly too baggy for my liking but it's cool, it has pockets!

Wantobe · 11-01-2011 10:16pm

Bought this Vera Wang top on ebay, the seller said size L=UK12....but it really, really isn't! It's more like a 16/18 ( and I'm really a 10, I was just upsizing to keep it loose)....:mad:

That's so annoying, it's gorgeous!

Ooh, there was a girl on my bus this morning wearing that coat. It is beautiful!

Alqua · 11-01-2011 11:02pm

Really?

Eeek, basking in coat-related positivity! Also, liffey valley ftw! Usually in sales there's nothing much left in my size..

I have those runners! They're pretty comfy actually. And I hate runners, so it's not a biased opinion at all :P

I ordered my first ever batch of stuff from ASOS today so here's hoping it goes well

I love the colour of the cardigan - green isn't a colour I usually wear either, so it'll be a nice change.

They are very comfy, and I'm hopefully going to be doing proper exercise in them!

This dress arrived today in a 10 and 12 from Asos. It's really lovely on in the 12 so 10 is being sent back tomorrow! The colour of the velvet is a bit more pink than the image.

Lurk on this thread jealously all the time but first post here in almost a year and a half!:eek:

Used to be a shopaholic but have been super broke for AGES with college fees, loan repayments etc. so been making do with the same old clothes but... saved up for Christmas presents and had some spare cash plus got money for Christmas so went a bit mad!:D

I'd wanted these boots in brown from RI since they came out in mid-August but at €127.50, I couldn't afford them. I dragged my friends over every time we were in a RI store to make sure they were still there so I decided that I'd buy them for myself as a treat after my exams but one of my lovely friends went to buy them for me for Christmas because I loved them so much and rang me in a panic to tell me that they were gone in both stores in town and Liffey Valley but I managed to get the last pair in my size in Blanch as they were on display in the window! Love them, perfect fit and so comfy!!:D

Since I'd gotten myself the boots, my friend got me a bag from RI which I'd also wanted for months:

Hit Forever 21 after my exams for the first time to see what all the hype was about and got:

and a jumper similar to this but longer and in cream:

Then got these in the New Look sale:

This dress but in purple for €12

This dress in red also €12 (not usually something I'd usually go for but it's not as shiny in real life and a really good fit... still not mad on the chains though).

These platforms for €15... love them and gotten so many compliments!

The flat version of these heels for €7 even though the sale price tag said €12:)

these flats

and a lovely purple coats with ruffles for €30 - can't find a pic online.

superLeetive · 12-01-2011 3:17am

Contd.

Also, got these in the RI sale:

Green cowl neck top €9

Navy pleated skirt €18

Prettiful lace umbrella €8

and burgundy tights, brown woollen lights and grey woollen tights for €10 altogether.

Awear sale:

and a dress in this style but in a kind of green colour with a floral pattern

and finally, a black floral skirt for €10 in H&M that I can't find a pic of online, some brown fluffy slipper boots for €6 in Republic and a couple of half price gift sets in Boots. Still have a couple of gift vouchers left but really have to make myself stop shopping now!!! Apologies for the length... just so delira with all my new stuff!:D

The seller might have gotten confused between UK12 and US12??

Got the boots below from Duo in their Christmas sale - Reduced from €200 to €105 + €15 p&p

[awesome boots]

Those look awesome, I'd be very tempted by a pair myself!

Ah, makes sense. However this is a disaster as my New Years resolution is to stop buying clothes ( I bought this top on New Years eve).

Have you a link to both of these items please? Also, are the River Island boots very high?

Thanks.

Just to let you know, the playsuit arrived this morning and I'll be sending it straight back. The quality of the material is awful- it's so thin it's see-through, the legs are so short there is bum cheek exposure (this is not because I am tall or any such reason- I'm only 5'2"), the colours are a lot more muddy than in the photographs, the sleeves aren't as long, the neckline is ridiculously low and the shape is vile and unflattering. Very very disappointed and hate to think of the girls who paid full price for this item. It was nowhere near worth the €19 sale price I paid for it, never mind the full price of approximately €50.

It's from oasis, I got it in liffey valley but it was the only one there, and it's gone from the oasis and the debenhams sites. Your best bet would probably be checking round their shops or giving them a call? It's down as 'ruffle melton'

Sibylla · 12-01-2011 5:05pm

Gorgeous coat Alqua.

Got this from Darling.

This Vero Moda skirt was only eight euro at Doo Lally, They currently have up to 70% off..

Looks better on me of course

Back from London!

There's an Irregular Choice shop! So I bought my first pair!

Got these babies in Harrods. Love them!

3 £10 pants for £12 in Gilly Hicks...such a cute shop! They're a cousin to Abercrombie and Fitch so
the OH enjoyed the girls in teeny shorts while I looked at the dozens of different pants!
They're all lovely material, it was so hard to restrain myself

Also from Gilly Hicks!

MAC Fluidline in the airport on the way home

Got some brown cord shorts and an Audrey Hepburn t-shirt in Pull and Bear as well and some fun things in Hamleys (got a Tamagotchi for £6.50!)

Thanks it's really unusual. I got it from Darling, They usually only have a limited selection of clothes but they are always beautiful. It comes in grey and black and is currently reduced from 69 pounds to 48.30. Delivery is 7.95 (pounds) and usually takes 4/5 days.

It is. Have a look at the site, some lovely Items. I got the orange floral one reduced from 72 to 21.60.

never heard of Darling - are their sizes pretty accurate? and thanks for putting their details up!!:D

No problem, I find their sizes very good. I've ordered from them twice before and always found the quality very good.
XS=8
S=10
M=12
L=14
XL=16

They have a size guide for waist, bust and hips just under the link for the dress.

I had a look. Didn't see a lot that I could justify spending my money on except for a gorgeous pair of chinese laundry shoes that I've had my eye on for months not even knowing DooLally had them! May think those ones over!

Pandoras Twist · 13-01-2011 7:11pm

Love the necklace but the fact it will go bronze after a few wears would put me off. Where would one get a silver version I wonder?

stripysocks85 · 13-01-2011 8:05pm

Wonderbra ultimate strapless bra, from Debenhams, about €36 I think but it's advertised as €43. I would have got it for even less only I missed the sale as it ended Monday at midnight and my order went through at ten past!

Damn browsing!!

Winter beanie hat, also from Debenhams €18

Dorothy Perkins:
Dress 1 £12 reduced from £38

Dress 2 £17 reduced from £32

Top £15 reduced from £35 - I think it's so pretty!

My Etsy earrings arrived (post 3753 - don't want to repost cos the photos are HUGE!)
They're all really pretty but way way smaller than they looked in the photos. Much more wearable for the day but I'm a little bit disappointed cos they'd have been fab for at night if they were a bit bigger. I'd still buy them if I saw them in a shop though!
