Rediscovered The Gap and Jaeger




Thanks to a lust for these delicious Pierre Hardy for The Gap ankle boots, which reminded me of some v similar I had about 15 years ago, I ventured to the store in Covent Garden before a meeting at The Hospital. For once, a productive shopping trip - bought these plus a dusky pink/eau de nil t-shirt and a dark petrol blue three quarter length sleeve top and cream tee - and heavens to betsy at last shops are selling longer length tees, am so fed up with a cold tummy... also swung by Massimo Dutti and scooped up a fabulously fitting denim jacket - I've been looking for one for ages that fits well - and just £50 too.


Am having a bit of a Jaeger renaissance too, randomly found on ebay a black Jaeger jacket with a butterfly silk lining which is exactly the same as the butterfly dress I bought there three years ago for my Nanny's funeral. Love it! Got it for £15! Also snaffled a vintage Jaeger striped cardy and am bidding on some other stuff.


A while back at the store in MK, got such bargains with my loyalty card in the sale - a smashing red/black silk shirt and a black maxi kaftany dress for something like £50 for the two - whereas they were both retailing at I think over £150 each. Am lusting after the cape but at £220 am going to have to hope I can get it in the sale.

I've cured my ebay addiction


Over the past few years I have been very, quite, not really addicted to ebay. I think I've cured it. I tried to fix it in my mind that buying clothes from ebay (not the new stuff but second hand, vintage darling) is being pretty green, recycling clothes and all. I even used to sell my clothes on it and made some dosh but I haven't got that kind of time so it's back to the charity shops.

But I think I've cured myself. I just got a much anticipated vintage Flora Kung silk dress which sounded amazing. And on the right person I am sure it is, but on me, I looked like a Dynasty victim/mother of the bride. It only cost me about a tenner but it is a tenner too much, as it'll go straight to the Red Cross shop. Enough already.
