So, I have a holiday coming up, and because all my recent purchases have been based around ESB bills, tin-openers, bike repairs, car insurance and sundry other MUNDANE and utterly TRAGIC necessities, I haven’t been able to acquire anything for myself (bar an emergency brassiere in Pennys which lasted 2 wears) in months. So I decided it was high time to give my new credit card a little flexin’ on Asos.
I’m a big fan of silly and boisterous sunglasses – not the so-on-trend-it-hurts type, but rather the ridiculous, ‘festival-only’ shades…that I like to wear all year round. So below, a pair of Jeepers Peepers retro aviators. A bit Back to the Future, a bit Saved by the Bell, and a lot MINE.
Next up – the straw trilby. Yawn, bore, whatevs right? True, the 2011 Summer hat is all about the fedora or the 70′s hoopla affair. But I’m not down with those styles and by God, they’re tricky to pack right? And you’d nearly take someone’s eye out on the plane. So I got the safe, if slightly unadventurous, straw hat – but look – it has an animal print ribbon. That’s hot, right?
My gold bling has been massively depleted in recent months (PIKEY SISTERS, ahem), so I felt the need for a little top up. I happened upon this navel-length, gold cross chain which screams First Holy Communion. I’m going to wear them with my white, frilly, ankle-length socks.
Maybe not so much First Holy Communion, but definitely RAWRRRRRRRRR, I got this black satin bustier. Outerwear, underwear, overwear, innerwear – who cares? It’ll go perfectly with my gold cross.
And then finally, I bought a man. It’s about time somewhere online started to actually sell male models. I mean, what’s a busy gal to do? Click, buy, click, ship. Very efficient service. Although, if he doesn’t fit in the box, I’ll at least have the grey marle jumper, which was reduced to TWENTY POUNDS*.
*From £25, but a saving is a saving.
