Although I've Zero Funds

A very kind tipoff resulted in myself and ClickClikDccker hitting up the fabled €1.50 sale in Ritzy Rags on Bolton Street. Too good to be true, I know, riiiight?! Their stock is mega sweet cos of a deal struck up with a french charity meaning they get in some awesome Parisian threads. As if this wasn't good enough at regular charity shop prices every now and again they do a €1.50 sale. Which does exactly what it says on the tin really. Everything in the shop is a mere one fiddy unless, of course, it's less. All this and it's for a good cause. Pretty much guilt free shopping? Oh, fangs.
Here's my haul anyways. Autumn, bring it.

Why yes, that is a tweed jacket with elbow patches. I'll be employing this with shitloads of layers in Prague to stay toasty whilst looking both intelligent and dignified. I've got this dressing for a different, icy, city stuff down pat.
Total cost of all the lovely tings? €8.30.
Oh, that just feels so good. One more time. €8.30. Nice.

Don't know if I should tell you this but..

ASOS now accept Laser cards, this means you no longer have the all important buffer between seeing something and persuading your ma to give you her credit card. So, I dunno if you guys know this but it is my birthday in exactly a week...
On an unrelated note, they stock TBA. Now that Luella's gone tits up it's the go to label for pretty, feminine, kindasorta affordableish, dresses. Nice, right? Check their website here.



(I know the photo is from the Urban website but it's just a better picture, they do sell it on ASOS though)

Another website only too happy to take Laser is Cdwow, not only can you buy all your sweet indie films and books on here (I got an Edie Sedgwick bio AND Harold and Maude!) they also sell megacheap make up. Por ejemplo, Lancôme Oscillation mascara for 22 bones, it's like, 32 in Brown Thomas plus you get none of their sniffy 'tude and loyalty card pushing ways. Besides all the fun you'll have receiving packages and playing with the vibrate function on your new mascara (minds out of the gutter, please) it came gift wrapped, if that's not a sign of some deity approving of my spending I don't know what is.
Obviously it wasn't the shop doing it to encourage further purchasing, guh.
