Verrrrry cute zenie

The dress I posted up-thread looks like it might be a no. Looking at pictures of people wearing it, it looks like it'd be really short on me as it's been made for Chinese women.

Not a purchase, but Ms T gave me a lovely beaded velvet scarf

I just bought this as it was dirt cheap and my current bag is looking a bit sad and grubby.

Don't like the writing on it much.

The writing is obviously the best bit. I will be devastated if it arrives and doesn't have it.

Luxury Rebel Brooklyn boots in black - they're awesome. The get over the 'fit different calf widths' issue by being constructed of overlapping pieces of leather fastened at the bottom and held in by the straps. They have wires round the top and up the lengths to keep the shape and the leather is smooth on the inside and nicely textured on the outside. Most excellent for stomping about

I love soap and glory stuff. I regularly use the hand cream, body butter and the body wash... All smells lush. Im a bit of a sucker for packaging and particularly like there's *rollseyesatself*. I haven't used their face stuff yet (got some for crimbo still inbox until normal stuff runs out)

Sorry should have said make up. I have used loads of their face and body stuff, their scrubs and butters are yummy and smell like you just walked out of a sweet shop. Not used their face creams or serums mind but found a load of vouchers I got in a Christmas pressie

Some really lovely little black glass buttons with loop shanks, a bit like teddy eyes, or boot buttons, for a favourite long linen waiscoat/sleeveless overshirt thingy. It has little brass ball buttons but I've lost a couple and can't find replacements anywhere.

I hate it when that happens - if you have to replace more than a couple of buttons it can cost and arm and a leg. Not to mention the time it takes to unpick the ones you've still got and sew on the new ones.

a long chain (hits just below bra band) with some charms on it - heart shaped locket, swallow, bead, rose.

annoyed that the locket doesn't open, but it was a cheap and cheerful purchase.

These boots in Aldo sale shop - first strike in my smart wardrobe for my new job. Basically smarter than my bikers, and give me an extra two inches in heels while still being comfy:

4 pairs of leggings - 2 black 2 navy, all 4" too long.

I have just bought some black suede brothel creepers from Underground. Fucking expensive at £89 but my first ones were only £15 from Shoe Zone and the crepe sole split in half the second time I wore them, so I figured it was a false economy buying cheap ones again. Have saved up for these too so don't feel quite as guilty as if I'd splurged.
That said, did also buy this weird kimono type top in TopShop tonight that I really couldn't afford but it was so lovely...ahem!

 

[kittyP]

Coz I can't get out atm my mum brought me a whole selection of clothes to try on and she would take back what I didn't like/didn't fit.
Most of it was really cool and I loved and that stuff was the TU stuff from Sainsburys
The Next stuff was of far inferior quality and boring.

Who'd of thunk that

 

[killer b]

next stuff is inferior and boring. it totally mystifies me why it seems so popular.
