Just a quick post today to let you all know that I am suffering from a very serious case of sample sale addiction. This all began when I had the incredible good fortune to get a  beautiful £2000 50s style wedding dress in the Candy Anthony sample sale for a very reasonable price. Since then I have decided to make it my mission to get everything else in my life at a similarly reduced price. This has then predictably spread to me trying to do the same for everyone around me, which is why yesterday found me dragging my fiance to the Paul Smith sample sale ( which I found out about via Shoparazzi - a very useful site).

Although he did get a little bit upset at being jostled about by eager bargain hunters, I explained to him that it was all part of the fun and not to be too upset at the girl who just skewered his foot with her heels. Before he freaked out completely, we were able to find him this stunning charcoal suit, a snip at £130.

The sale is on today as well so get down there menfolk, it’s worth getting your feet stamped on for bargains like this (or is that a concept men will never be able to understand?).
