I'd be scared to carry a bag that expensive, in case it got lost or damaged . Apart from the shape of one flap, the bags really are very similar.

Likewise. Not sure it is Can't stand that whole handbag culture.

Have just discovered that my £20 Accessorize bag is a total copy of a £1,2850 Proenza Schouler (whoever they are) bag:
I don't know how anyone could think a bag could be worth that much.

I think I prefer your version actually! There was a Proenza Schouler shop where I lived for a while in Italy and I did frequently lust after stuff in the window. What's your satchel made of? Is it heavy?

Oh some plasticky stuff, pretty light. It's not a great bag really as it's so inflexible that it's difficult to fit stuff into it.

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Cool, I was thinking that if it was leather it would weigh a ton! Shame it's not more useful.

Oh noes! I live in fear of this sort of thing happening....if I go out raving all weekend I even take a spare with me unless I'm within easy reach of home.

Fair-sized boobsese

Somehow I managed to remain decent then scored 3 new ones on the way home. 40F now

At least you can get them in M&S, they don't even make my size. Last bra I bought at full price was £36.

Also got this. Just the jacket. Machine washable linen

I say; do any of you ever buy anything partly because you know that people are going to say "Oooh, nice jacket!"?

Ok...so today is the first day of my 'buy nothing month'......I have just been browsing my accounts and situation is serious.....so this month it's only essentials (food/petrol/minimal socialising).​

​

I had posted earlier that before I did I would buy perfume. I did this with a Living Social voucher and purchased Jean Paul Gaultier Classic plus I mentioned purchasing a back-pack...then I stumbled upon the lovely Geri giving away one for FREE so now I have a superb Jansport (sp?) for my travels/festivals. My BF did buy me a beautiful pendent that he says is a 'gau'...basically I saw Zynab in Eastenders wearing a oblong shaped pendent ages ago and said I liked it and he this to me on Tuesday...​

a nice red & blue plaid button-down shirt.

A black moleskin jacket with skull and crossbone buttons.
Oh, and this bird print frock as I don't have quite enough of them.

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

This very sensible bra.

Hopefully it'll fit as it is one size fits all, and I'm almost a foot taller than most Chinese women.

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Oooh, and these, since they were less than £2.

(smiley faces not there in real life)

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Oh and this thing which you put in your hair while you're drying it, to give it waves, if I've understood correctly.

I wish I had a symmetrical initial. It fucks with my head every time I look in the mirror.

I still have to think quite hard about which way round to put this on.

The other day I was chatting to a stranger and he said "Your name doesn't begin with a J, does it?"
I said "Yes!!!!!!! How did you know?!"

Sometimes I think I'm not as clever as I think I am

 

[moose]

Ha!
Even my symmetrical initial isn't really symmetrical, in most typefaces.

Mis-sized my own breasts Have to take bras back but I stupidly bought a pack of two and wore one so got £22 of semi-useless foundation garments

Think I'm moving into stuff_it territory with a G-cup here

 

[spanglechick]

oh i had a bra ordering disaster the other day. been shrinking down the sizes and the 36Hs I was wearing were far too big in the back and the cup, so i ordered 4 lots of 32Gs. Hah. big old comedy squashing things. Went to send them back today (bless bravissimo's 28 day return policy) and discovered i'd managed to spill something on one of them. Stuck with £35 of too-small sports bra. brilliant!

also, despite ordering 4 more new bras this week (32h/hh), i didn't ask for a refund for the ones I did send back. I ordered replacements. oops. been an expensive business, bras have of late.

All the bloody time

I bought a swimsuit from M&S yesterday. Not so much because I liked it but because I need one for Monday as folk at work think it's a good idea to spend the day at a spa and I can't go in the pool nekkid
I would post a pic but it won't let me. It's black with a big fat orange and a big fat pink diagonal stripe. Now I'm going to have to start going swimming or it's a waste

 

[5t3IIa]

All the bloody time

I saw leopard print jeans in M&S and thought of you

 

[weepiper]

A stripy jumper dress, a pair of bootcut flared jeans and a black vest top from Dotty P's, and a wide belt from Claire's to go with the dress (matches my knee boots) for a grand total of £27. My consolation prize for not being in Rome this weekend.

 

[weepiper]

this dress. And yay I finally have something that I can wear this old Wrangler denim jacket with (too many jeans)

my coat is this colour:

and I like all these colours to match (the white is sparkly too)...

I think I like the white best with that coat.

 

[spanglechick]

when i've been looking for vintage ones, i've been erring towards cream / ivory etc... but i wonder if the white is a bit stark and 60s sci-fi-ish... which is right period but wrong feel. dunno though. it's still a strong contender.

 

[pigtails]

I like the white too but I think the blue could look really good!

 

[Geri]

All I've bought lately are cycling things! Two jackets (one proper waterproof one and one more casual), a rucksack, two pairs of sunglasses and a Reebok top which is designed for running but will do on the bike.

I did buy two secondhand bags from eBay as well, a Kipling and a Radley.
