Her name was New York, New York – and she took his heart away

So, as you’ll know, because I haven’t stopped going on about it, I’m in New York for the week – staying in Brooklyn, watching movies, seeing sights, hanging out with the sister, her fella and their adorable dog. Today I’m going to go see Precious, go get my tan on, and have dinner with Bea [...]

THAT sequined Topshop dress

Do you remember the post I wrote about the Topshop sequined dress I bought online? Well, I guess now you do (links are so amazing, right?). Well it arrived the other day to the office, where we all oohed and aahed and crooned over it, felt how delightfully heavy it was (substantial, one might say), [...]

I’m so almost buying a dress. Almost. Just nearly. The only thing holding me back is the fact that I’m going to New York on Sunday – which I know I keep going on about – but Ossie Clark! At less than €300! Hmmm… Check ‘em out here.

In my basket – or, I’m addicted to Asos

So Asos are having a 25% off partywear sale, which lured me in through their golden gateway. And what did I emerge with? The above delightful items, none of which are included in the 25% part. Well, I never claimed to be clever*. I did, at one point, have £427 worth of items in my [...]

Books, books, more books . . .

via Stock Exchange There’s really nothing more satisfying, especially around Christmas, than sitting down in front of a nice, warm fire with some mince pies and a decent book. I might do a book recommendation post (based on things I’d love to be getting, if I hadn’t already read them!) at a future date, but [...]

This is why I shouldn’t be at home, alone, with the internet

Because I go online shopping. Last week’s Topshop and Asos splurges weren’t enough – photographs of purchases tomorrow, now that I have all this free time in my PJs, snuffling around the house – but now I have to scour the interwebs for more dresses. I really don’t need more dresses. This little doll, however, [...]

DIY project numero uno

I spend a lot of money on clothes. Anyone who knows me already knows this; I shop frequently and in vast quantities. I go looking for shoes and return with two pairs, a coat, new leggings. . . I can’t go into American Apparel without coming out €100 poorer; if Topshop has a sale online, [...]

You’ve got mail, you’ve got mail, you’ve got mail. . .

I once tried unsubscribing from every e-mail list I was on. It was a harrowing time, during which I was attempting to give up shopping, and I found that getting e-mails once a week from Topshop or Asos was hampering my non-shopping. In the end, of course, I just threw in the towel, bored of [...]

Ooh, girl, shock me like an electric eel

That song is in my head, mainly because of the top I wore today, which has some kind of technological print all over it. And zips. God, I love that it’s the season of the exposed zip. What else do I love? Asos. Which is where I got this particular beauty, and from where I [...]
