Tee hee!! I'm so famous - my own thread!
Well, the modelling pics will have to wait a bit as I haven't told DH that I've bought (another!) Mulberry yet. I was planning on "buying" it today IYSWIM and bringing it home from Bicester but I'm afraid I made another extravagent purchase - couldn't possibly buy both at the same time so figured I'd stash the Phoebe and produce it at another time. It means I won't be able to use it for a bit but that's fine - I'm currently using the Elgin all the time and am really happy having rediscovered it.
Just so you don't all die of suspense, my extravagent purchase was a pair of Jimmy Choos
The perfect camel coloured, 65mm heel, pointy toe pump. They're such a wardrobe staple and I've been looking for the perfect nude shoes forever
Even DH loves them.
Oh girls, we're going to have such fun at Bicester in May - I had a great day there today. Lunch at Pret (Maxie got to run around in the playground area so he was happy) and a good old stroll round the shops. I was very restrained - bought the shoes, a cowboy apron from Cath Kidston for Max and some earphones from Bose for DH's birthday (to go with his Antony bag that he hasn't been given yet
) And that was it.
Nothing from Mulberry although there were a couple of things that turned my head. There was a gorgeous apple Pasadena - haven't seen this bag before but it's fab and the apple shade was divine. They also had an apple Tyler (£195 reduced from £395) but it had a lot of scratching on the flap.
They had super-cute olive Ledburys - in fact, there were lots of olive bags. A couple of buckets of Aralines, Angelicas & Jonis (it was very Woollies bargain bucket actually - made the bags look really cheap
)
Lots of half price Rosemarys in oak, choc, black; a few Phoebes - plain & tasselled; embellished and tasselled Roxannes (not to my taste at all); a few Bayswaters although I can't remember the colours.
I had a 10% discount card which I should also be able to pick up when we go in May
However, the deal with Mulberry is that you can use it on purchases over a certain amount (either £100 or £200 - can't remember) to a maximum discount of 50% off original price. So, I wouldn't have been able to use it on the Phoebe, for example, as that was already 50% off.
To get back OT, I'll try and take a couple of sneaky modelling pics the next time DH is out
