PULLING AT MY PURSE STRINGS

These babies make me swoon - however after purchasing I wouldn't have anything to put in them apart from a load of cut up credit cards. Father Christmas do you hear me?

I DID A BAD THING -

- but it's so totally worth it.

Julie Verhoeven for Mulberry dress - reduced. ALOT.

P.S. I first saw this dress back in October 07 in the Bond Street store for a cool grand and pretty much died. I then saw it once in the factory store in Somerset last winter but at half the price there was no way I could afford it. Then... last summer I tried tracking it down for this Vogue lunch I had and despite calling every single shop in the country and scouring eBay, no luck. Today, in the Somerset store again, there it was, hidden at the back and I swear I nearly had to change my pants. I can deal with being poor as long as I'm wearing this to rummage the bins.

I REALLY BLOODY WANT THIS

But at £550 it's approximately 11 times more than I could scrape together right now...
