You guys have been busy shopping.

Joh, I love the shoes. I just wish I could wear anything like this. Having said that, I just measured the heels on my posh Crocs and they are a whopping 7 cm. I was actually quite surprised by this as they are really comfortable.

Nat, I love the zebra print bikini.

Well, I have just indulged in a bit of holiday shopping as well. I hope that this is the last lot to be done.

We have been discussing on our cruise meet thread about getting dressed up for the new Villains theme night. I did not really want to do the whole costume thing, but thought that purple and black are kind of villains colours. I had bid on the perfect Monsoon dress on Ebay, but did not get it. I had a look in town today, but the only dress that kind of caught my eye was silly expensive. So I decided to order another dress from China. I have ordered this dress, but with black lace instead of the white lace:

I will wear a black pashmina with this and a black or black and purple fascinator.

A fascinator is a hair accessory that was tradionally worn at weddings instead of a hat, but is now worn for all kind of special occassions. Here is the kind of thing that I am after:

Lovely purchases everyone.

I've been after some "posh" sandals to wear for nice meals etc. when I'm at WDW next month. Today, i found them!

They are by Carvela and I bought them from ASOS. They were reduced from £75 to £23! What's more, I had one of those Diet Coke £5 off vouchers, so I paid just £18.

They are really cute. What a fantastic buy.

Hey guys!

Have never really used this thread before - have had a bit of a lurk mind, but thought I'd get involved

I went to the city centre today just to pay off some bills, but low and behold, those bloody sales started reeling me in I have to add that I didn't put up too much resistance

Anyhow, I'm not sure if the sales had only just started, but there seemed to be a lot of good stuff around.

I found this in Monsoon:

It's a sort of coral-pink-orangey colour. The pics dont show the colours very well. I'm going to the Prima High Street fashion awards in London in Sept and the theme is "colourful" so this is a "maybe" dress for that. I'll think I'll change the belt, and I would love some emerald green heels to go with it

Also got this at Monsoon:

It's a sort of light navy colour, and I'm going to just wear it as a day dress.

And finally I got this at Next:

It's a bit random and a bit colourful. But that's me My mam said "it's not her cup of tea" It looks a bit shapeless here, but it ties in at the back when you wear it. It's a potential to wear with black skinny jeans and heels for the DIS girly weekend

Hope the photos don't make the clothes look too ming lol

Nice buys Beth.

Some great shopping there ladies.

I think this will have to be just about the last of my holiday shopping

My wonderful DH bought me 2 lovely French Connection dresses in the sale, and the following week one of them had gone down by £45 and the week after that it went down another £15!! So both times DH spoke to the shop and they gave him a credit note........ it would have been such a shame to waste it so I persuaded him to let me use them towards this..... but in white

Just have to eat nothing until October now to make sure it still fits!

 

[mandymouse]

More great shopping girls. I especially like Lauren's sandals, Beth's red dress and Katie's French Connection dress ~ all lovely girls

I don't need anything else for this summer, but I have seen a ton of stuff in Debenhams that I would like for next year, I'm just waiting for a 10% or larger voucher so I can go shopping
