Oh Thefrog, I’m totally with you there: those are my go to colours… Have to say they got better lately, they finally got rid of their 90′s vibe

Beth TV: how dare you imply I’m out of touch? Isn’t it obvious that fashion is my forte? Well, anyway, aren’t the 90s back?

Seriously though, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by their offering in the past 3-4 years. It’s more grown up than I remembered (I remembered the pink pig), and I’ve found quite a few work-appropriate outfits there. Colour-wise, it’s any French girl’s dream (unless Celine disagrees on what colours are ‘a French girl’s dream’), because it’s mainly black, grey, white, blue (navy) or light pink. So boring, but safe. It has become my favourite brand lately. Yes, I’m a boring girl!

LauraLou: you’ll be missing the mid-season sales by 1 or 2 days, but you might still be able to find bargains in shops. Do try Naf Naf, they’re having a sale right now on their autumn range

Hi all! Have this week off work, and loving every minute of it. Had my eye on a whistles dress last few weeks. Dropped over to Dundrum yesterday evening with the mammy and house of fraser had just one left in my size. The lovely S.A told me pick up a Grazia mag as they had a 25% off voucher for whistles. Happy a larry I skipped off to try and hunt down the mag- thnk I could get one? Only this weeks version (new edition) was on the shelves. Went back to H.O.F & the lovely S.A gave me the 25% off anyway-wasn’t that so lovely?!
Happybubblegal- have you tried La Roche Posay ceralip? I find it really good- also LRP cicaplast is supposed to be great. I tried Clarins lip balm a while back & found it fab (sorry I can’t remember the exact name)!

Happybubblegal, you could also try Smashbox O Gloss if you have a SB seller near you. It does the moisture and protecting bit but it glosses and accenuates your lips without being OTT; it does more than normal balms would though it is dearer.
