Penneys/Primark goodies :)
Went in to the O'Connell St. branch in Dublin today and was going to go for a round-neck jumper and a teal faux-fur shrug, but instead I got the black wool cape and the black pleated skirt with the cream and silver pattern. The cape is lovely; I think the collar is particularly gorgeous, it's a nice length and I like that it has those sort of half-sleeves. And a good price, at €40. The skirt is really pretty too, and will look gorgeous with a fine black jumper and black knee-high boots. And a bargain at €18! Much better buys than my original choices :)

    On the X Factor website she's quoted as saying most of them are by Elspeth Gibson as special one-off pieces.

    does anyone know of any good online shops that sell dresses that would be appropriate to wear to a wedding?
    i've had a look on topshop and miss selfridge and they seem a little bit casual to me. i'd just like something simple but stylish and under £100 if possible!
    thanks!

    HM have left the security tag on my jacket - what to do?
    And I wanted to wear it tomorrow - my nearest HM is miles away, is there anything I can do (apart from wait until I can get to a HM) ? x
    Answer:
    My mum had a security tag left on her top before, she just got a knife and picked it. Careful though, I'm sure some security tags have got ink in them.
    Answer:
    Apparently you can hacksaw security tags off (according to a colleague, don't know if it works with all tags though) but you do run the risk of damaging your jacket. I wouldn't risk it TBH.
    C xx
    Answer:
    As long as it's not an ink one, maybe you could take it into another store that uses security tags and see if they can remove it for you? Though the ones in HM aren't round are they? Maybe that's a really crap suggestion! I bought a skirt somewhere once before and they left the tag on and it was an ink one, so i couldn't wear it til i'd got it removed at the shop, so aggravating, especially as i'd bought it specially to wear for my 1 year anniversary with my boyfriend!
    Answer:
    That's what I'm worried about, I've heard stories of red dye etc :eek:
    I thought I heard it bleeping when I walked out the shop but didn't think it was me because I saw her take one off, how many does a short jacket need? :cmdunno:
