Don't you just love it when you accidentally fall upon something of real interest??? Well I was chuffed to come acros the following images of "soon to hit our shops" items for Penneys/ Primark!!! :)

I'm loving this combo!
This blazer is available already
(I saw it while out "browsing" today - shock horror I actually bought NOTHING!!!)
Is it just me of is the "full demin" look just rank?
Thankfully I managed not to thrown out last summer's demin waistcoat :)
So glad I didn't listen to the little voices at the beginning of AW 2009 that said
"You will have to cull those three double wardrobes of yours!"
lol
Cute!
I sooooooooo wish I could pull this look off...
This item is also currently available
(from Penney's of Henry St, Dublin)
Happy shopping at Penney's/ Primark!

Penneys/ Primark Spring/Summer 2010

Having seen the amount of traffic my blog got due to my previous AW 09 Penneys/ Primark post, I thought I'd check out the spring/ summer 2010 collection and blog on same :) I must admit, it's something I regularly google myself as I always always always hit Penneys when shopping :) :) :) Can't beat the bargains!!!
It is with great sadness that I must report that there is feck all out there re SS 2010 for Penneys :( Except for lingerie and some swimwear... I have to admit that I have been checking out the swimwear ince Christmas Eve (yes, that's right folks, they put out the swimwear on Christmas Eve in Penneys of Henry St, Dublin!!!).

I promise to keep checking and reporting back - if needs must I'll snap a few pics in-store myself :) :) :) :)

Here's a sneaky peek at some of my favs (loving the bling)...

Happy 2010

OMG where has the time gone!!! I can’t believe it’s been soooooooooo long since I was last on here!!! I won’t go into the gory details but I’m back now :)

Spending less (per item, not overall! These babies a snip at only €70)






Take better care of my skin



Getting out and about more
(via public transport of course and spending even less per item)

Kildare Village - discount designer shopping



Deja-Vu, Waterford

These snazzy shoes were retailling at only €230!

Also on the list:

Get a decent camera and a few lessons and take some pics of some of the quirky things I’ve been making :)

Check out the excellent blogs I've come across since joinging (I've already updated the links/ads to other blogs, leave me a comment and your blog address if you'd like me to post your link/ad too!)
