Ok, so I normally do a post on my friends fashion, but as some were shall we say rahter reluctant to me me put them on my blog, I had to use my back up…ME!
A new store has opened in the Potteries Shopping Centre, (the best shopping centre near me) and it is a rather good one.
A|Wear is Irelands number one fashion store, and has now got there stores in the UK.
I went in the other week seeking out a dress for a staff night out, and lets just say I was pleasantly pleased by what A|Wear had to offer.
Spring 09 trends and colour palettes are everywhere, from nautical red, white and navy stripes, to flowery and ditzy print numbers, 80’s retro and their own trend the sharp urban look.
I was spoilt for choice, and the staff were so helpful that I just wanted to buy more. But I selected three items and here they are.
Yes they’re not great pics, and I certainly am no budding model, so please don’t judge.

Hmm, didn’t realise how bad the strap marks were. But hey it’s been sunny here and doing uni work in the garden is way better than it the house.
