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

Looking good Spangles...infact you are looking super-good.. & killer b I love your shopping finds but I do wonder if radio atomica rolls her eyes when you come home with another find!...

I will say it on here now...I AM BUYING NO CLOTHING OR MAKE-UP ETC GUBBINS IN MARCH....I really really need to keep spending to essential items only. So I'm buying a backpack and some perfume today (essentials) xxx

How did you know?!

 

[killer b]

1960s vintage levis denim jacket. dunno when in the 60s yet, consulting the nerds as we speak.

bless poorly labelled ebay items.

 

[wayward bob]

i do believe i haven't bought a single thing since the last thing which is at least a month ago

 

[colacubes]

that is lush, where from?
catching up on the thread so sorry if you have already said

It's from www.forluna.co.uk

 

[Shirl]

Black Boden dress off eBay. I don't really like Boden but I'd drunk a lot when I bid for it Anyway, surprisingly I rather like it
I have now bought 3 black frocks since Christmas so I've banned myself from eBay for a bit.

here is is. it was rather on the musty side, so it's in the wash. fits perfect though.

ooh.

 

[killer b]

it's been dated to 65-67. that's quite old isn't it? should see some decent wear this summer, if i can get rid of the smell....

 

[Clair De Lune]

What does it smell of?

 

[wayward bob]

if it lingers after a wash you could always try sprinkling it liberally with bicarb and putting it into a pillowcase or summat for a couple of days. if it gets the stink out of running shoes it should manage a bit of must.

 

[killer b]

What does it smell of?

old.

 

[weepiper]

A good wash with fabric softener and an air out (hanging it outside to dry) should shift old musty smell no problem.

 

[killer b]

Aye, just waiting for it to stop raining...

[stuff_it]

Fucking waited ages to get a new bottle of foundation and they've only sold me the wrong one... Ah well, I'll have to nip in town tomorrow and swap it. Costs a small fortune for parking or public transport though.

 

[spanglechick]

i've had a smell problem with two cardigans lately. One was from ebay and smells of soothers cough sweets, the other was new from collectif and smells of stale spices. Both are now on their third wash with heavily scented fabric softener and while the spicy one is now only just noticable, the 'soothers' one still absolutely reeks of blackcurrenty-menthol.

 

[killer b]

don't really want to risk another machine wash with the jacket - it's the best part of 50 years old, and delicate in places. plan is to hang it outside for a few days once the weather improves, that usually works.

Update on that corset

After putting it on for only the second time one of the bones came through the stitching and jabbed my armpit. If you want something to wear once for a bit of fun, buy it. Otherwise IMHO you definitely get what you pay for.

OTOH I've learned a few things from it - more boning spreads the pressure, a busk is easier than hooks & eyes, and it pays to either cap or round off the ends of all the bones used. Also, if this is the standard of bottom of the market stuff, I really should think about making my own.

You might be able to get your parking money/petrol money back. We used to do that in House of Fraser if the customer complained loudly and long enough, especially if it was our fault the customer had to come back.

 

[danski]

Yeah, I've made Ikea do it a few times too when stuff has been missing out of the box.

TBF I don't think most people on the dole are out buying Clinique foundation anyway, but I've got rotten skin.

Finally got a version of that grey bra that fits.

This bra is *very* balconette - no men I know can dance anywhere near me if I'm out raving...well they can but with their backs to me....

 

[5t3IIa]

My bra underwire (underplastic) went this morning Felt a *pop* under my left tit on the escalator

Thank all that is holy I have some M&S vouchers in my wallet! Trip to Westfield Stratford tonight

This bag: http://www.accessorize.com/en/irela...18830/?bklist=icat,4,shop,bagshop,bagshopbags which leapt at me off the shelves due to being a great shade of green (pic doesn't get the colour). Accessorize have £5 off when you spend £25 at the mo so it was £20.

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.

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.

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.
