Sample Sale Goodness...

Not living in London all year round becomes quite an annoyance when, while I'm at uni, I hear of sample sales a-plenty going on... Up until this last week, despite knowing about too many for my piece of mind, I hadn't ever quite made it to one.

So, being able to get to the bStore on Friday with my friend "Opera", was a treat...

Now, being unfamiliar with the etiquette of such things, it did not occur to me that one had to go and actually ask how to get down to the basement... I thought there'd be signs! But after wandering in, then out, then in again, I finally managed to go and ask at the till, where I was directed through the door behind them into their basement! Excitment incarnate!!!

It was odd to be looking at so many gorgeous shoes and clothes within my price range yet higher in uality and innovation than I can usually afford...

Even better, the clothes weren't just smalls and 6s - and though I ended up only buying a pair of shoes, I felt quite good being able to actually fit into some of the wares on display ;-D

I fell in love with several pairs of shoes - notably a pair of black wedges with tassels and some brogues, but eventually settled on these Eley Kishimoto ones...



(Susie Bubble bought the other Kishimoto ones - here...)

I even managed to wear them this weekend in Paris (posts on my little break to come...) - so comfy despite height...

They have made me very happy, and I look forward with much anticipation, to many such gloriously fruitful sample sales in future!!!
