Pearl Lowe: It's Back!

Image
Elbows at the ready ladies, Pearl Lowe at Peacocks is back!! As you know I've championed the collection right from the start, so when Peacocks fell into financial trouble and closed many of their stores including their website; I was pretty devastated that the fabulous vintage inspired range was no more. I know a lot of you were extremely disappointed and felt it left a hole in the market for that type of product.  Good news is; Peacocks have just relaunched their website though and there's a small selection of PL items we haven't seen before and man, are they good! My nearest store closed down and will not be re-opening, but they didn't stock PL anyway, so I always relied on purchasing online. I'd actually spotted some of these newer items on eBay the other week and assumed they were samples that had never been mass-produced, so I'm elated that they are actually available for purchase. There are 5 items in the collection, one being a playsuit (above) wh...

Sale Shoes

Image
I've mentioned that I've been eBaying a lot recently. With Christmas coming and the fact I keep buying things for myself (!) money has been tight. So I was forced to dig deep into my shoe-collection and find anything neglected or unworn and to be ruthless. I'm selling a lot of gorgeous things that would have been nice to keep for myself, but at the moment the money is more important and so my loss is your gain! I have loads of designer shoes up there just now (all are unworn) along with some other lovely shoes, handbags and makeup. Here's a little peek and all auctions end tomorrow (Sunday), most shoes are sizes 38/39 aside from the leopard print Vivienne Westwoods which are a 40. Good luck if you decide to bid x Vivienne Westwood 'Regent' courts these are the same as the lovely black courts I wore yesterday here Vivienne Westwood Anglomania & Melissa (red mules and black skyscraper chains) Messeca green velvet Coraline ...

Monster High: Robecca Steam

Image
My last Monster High post featured my new Clawdeen from Ghouls Rule, but a couple of months before I'd purchased her, I got a completely new character, Robecca Steam. I love her name, it's very fitting for the daughter of a mad scientist and the details on this doll are exquisite. I'd been trying to reign myself in with MH purchases because I was struggling for room and can't afford to get them all! However when I spotted her in Debenhams along with Venus McFlytrap (which I got for my sister) I couldn't put her back on the shelf-she was too gorgeous! Plus at that point, I hadn't bought a doll in a while.  There were literally only these two dolls that were new and it's taken Debenhams until a couple of weeks back to restock their shelves (when I bought two more newbies), which has been months!  Unfortunately I don't have access to a toy shop locally to see a wide range of the dolls, so usually have to depend on buying online or getting my sister to...
