Holiday Shopping ..

[PoppyAnna]

My Dorothy Perkins jeans arrived this morning and I am was pleasantly surprised
The colour is good, the stitching is good and a very nice low-key colour (decorated jeans dont suit me, I don't like to draw too much attention to certain areas) they are slightly more lightweight than my usual jeans, but thats no bad thing at this time of year they fit nicely and are a good length for a petite
So another thanks to Karen for the DP's 20% off heads up

Not sure if this has already been posted but I went o Matalan yesterday and they were half pricing all of their swimwear, I picked up a couple of nice tankinis for 4.50 each! Bargain! They had these lovely little swim skirts too for £2. Hope that helps someone.

Ooh thanks Karen! Took advantage of the code and ordered 3 Principles and 1 Debenhams cardigan for £75 total so not bad at all as they're nice quality

Glad you could use it...

You're welcome!!! The jeans sound lovely, Joanne! I like the lighter weight jeans for the summer - my ones from Wallis are like that...

Thanks for the Wallis code Karen, I'll go and check their website

Hope it's of use to you, Mandy... I confess I bought a couple of things yesterday - couldn't resist. And don't forget, go via Quidco and receive a further 8% cashback...

I love the Specials, Mandy, and I love the sound of your B&W earrings. Are you going all dressed in B&W?

Lovely dress and necklace mandy, I really like the colour


I know a few of us have bought from Gap recently does anyone know the exchange policy?
I bought a couple of vest tops and they're too big it's probably about 2/3 weeks ago now but I've not kept the receipt will they exchange for smaller without a receipt?
Thanks

Course not!!! They are Scholl gelactiv ones and I bought them from QVC which was on (tho' muted) when I was revising...

I've got a pair of gelactiv already...

and wore them thro'out our recent WDW trip - they were amazingly comfy so I really recommend them...

Thanks Karen I've just been looking on the website there are some lovely styles.

Well, I have done holiday shopping of a sort tonight in so far as I got this for formal night on our cruise in October.

A little while ago I posted a link for the gown I got for formal night. Normally I don't wear gold so I had no jewellery to go with it. Tonight I had a video appointment to have some custom jewellery made to go with the gown.
