Sales Cock Up Take Two

I don't quite know how this has happened.  I'm still partly in shock to be honest. It's something I never ever thought I'd have to admit but....


..... I came across something today in the Zara sale that I've never seen full price.  


Faint.


Clearly it's impossible.  It has to be impossible.  I could win Mastermind with Zara as my specialist subject.  


But lo and behold, whilst doing another sweep of the Zara sale instore (still woeful woeful reductions), I came across the most utterly delectable pair of printed jeans I have seen all season. 


And here in lies the Cock Up aspect.  They had the most enormous pile of them - I plundered with glee (I have witnesses), frothing at the mouth as these would fit into my wardrobe seamlessly.  Oh the outfits I could make with them.  Giddy, giddy, giddy. 


Which quickly turned to crushing disappointment as the massive stash of jeans was made up of XS (couldn't fit my right big toe into) and L (which were a large Zara large - typical) I am beside myself.  I NEED these jeans in my life.  Here is a pic of them.  If anyone happens to see them, if they could email me or comment (in a S or M), I will try and get hold of them (ideally in the South East!!)  They're a grey/peach/blush snakeskin print.  I have definitely never seen them otherwise I would have hauled myself across the sales floor, elbows at the ready, to get them. 

I did get a couple of other things whilst returning my tuxedo blazer (boo hoo - none left in stock but I refuse to keep faulty goods), one of which is the most luscious Louis Vuitton inspired broderie anglaise sleeveless blouse - more of that tomorrow. 


Now HUGE apologies I didn't get to Next.  But but but - I am returning tomorrow with RR3 in search of a Mike The Knight Costume.  Which doesn't exist.  Which should mean an interesting trip with the three year old who, when he asked today if I'd managed to find him said costume after I picked him up from nursery and was told no, replied, "Oh buggers".  Great.


My excuse for the lack of Next shopping was that I was having the most wonderful new season (I say new - it's basically new summer season as opposed to anything full on A/W but hey we're gong to have an Indian Summer, si?) lustathon.  I have one little tit bit give away before I do a big blog tomorrow on my new High Street Crush.  One purchase down, a bounty of possibilities on the cards.  One of my besties bought pretty much the entire shop - can't wait to hear how it all is!  But more on that tomorrow.  With the Next jumper, I promise, promise, promise. 


So here is a hot tip of a bag.  Just the prettiest clutch.  And which fits an Iphone in.  I was gobsmacked last Christmas when buying a clutch at how many you can't even fit a phone in. Seriously?  What the chuff is the point of that?  Reiss were the worst offenders.  Mine from Coast is hardly great to be honest.  Definitely style over substance.  Like playing the bloody Krypton Factor every time I try and close it. 


But this little beauty is tardis like.  Gorgeous.  And will be perfect with my nude strappy Zara sandals. I haven't purchased yet but I can't see me not doing so.  Looks like it should cost 10 times as much as well.  Great great quality.  Peach Diamonte hard clutch bag from Warehouse.  (which, as much as they had some fab stuff in which I'll list, Warehouse isn't my new Crush)












Finishing with what I wore today - continuing my Resolution (I so have to be careful as I'm such an eejit in real life, I frequently call it a Revolution.  Moron.  People think I'm trying to be funny.  I'm not - I'm just having a thick moment) and wearing my trousers that I would normally be keeping for best.  What on earth for?! 






Beige silky tee - H&M
Navy, black and beige leopard print jeans - Whistles
Black blazer with suedette elbow patches - Taylor Stephens
Tan snakeskin ballet flats - Primark (I'm not sure I ever posted these - bought on a mercy mission to London just before my holiday.  Fabulous for £5!!!)
Large resin tooth necklace - Mango
Sunglasses - Tom Ford
Cheetah print ponyskin shopper - Zara


I shall be back tomorrow, I promise!  In the meantime, if anyone would like to hazard a guess at my new High Street Crush - a potential contender to the Zara crown (well not really really but certainly I shall be supplementing my Zara wardrobe from there this A/W if their late summer stock is anything to go by) - I'd love to hear.
