The sales are on, and whilst I would normally be manically searching for bargains and melting my credit card, I am not happy. I can’t find anything to buy.

I almost found the perfect pair of black patent, sling back court shoes by Miu Miu at Selfridges for just £100!!!! I wanted to wear them now with ankle length trousers and with my power dressing LBD’s come Septemeber, but they were just a tad too tight in the 40. Olga (names have been changed to protect the incompetent) the strangest sales assistant I have ever come across thought I was slightly mental asking if she could just see if somehow she thought there might be a 40 1/2 out the back that hadn’t been put out yet.

I also almost found the perfect blazer come tuxedo in Paul Smith for just £150 but it was too tight, and all the Vanessa Bruno left in Selfridges has definitely been swept along the floor at least twice…In fact the only things I have found to covet this week is an oversize sequined sweater in Jaeger - not on sale, and an Alexander Wang jacket also not on sale…

Ah well, looks my credit card might be taking a hit after all…
