Topshop goes international... in an odd sort of way

I had been told by a Topshop source that international shipping was experiencing slow glitches but here is confirmed online proof.  Taken from the Topshop help page:

TOPSHOP.COM delivers to all United Kingdom, United States, Australian and Republic of Ireland addresses. Unfortunately at this time we cannot take orders for delivery to the Channel Islands or BFPO addresses.

United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland

• Standard £4 delivery charge
• Express £5 delivery charge (UK only)

Delivery is free for orders over £100

United States of America and Australia

• Standard £10

Well there it is.  Loosen up your purse strings, all you Topshop fans in the States and down under.  I feel a tad sympathetic for people who live else where though.  Clearly, they are testing the waters tentatively by shipping to what they feel are their potentially biggest markests.  Still, getting deliveries over to France shouldn't really be too much of a hardship.  Afterall, Paris is far closer to London and easier to get to than the Shetland Islands all the way up in Scotland! 

Preen Sample Sale

Well, I did say I'd alert you guys and sorry it is at such late notice but hopefully Londoners and current visitors will benefit with immediate effect!  The Preen Sample Sale is now on with past and present season stock going from £10 (I can vouch for the genuine bargains having been twice now!).  A word of warning, the cheaper stuff is usually the very eary seasons which is I suppose good for me being a fan of their earlier work but not so much if you dig their past few seasons.  I'm getting down their sharpish after work.   

Dates: Thurs 30th Nov - Sat 2nd Dec

Times: Thurs, Fri 11am-7pm, Sat 11am-6pm

Location: Preen store, 5 Portobello Green, 281 Portobello Road W10 (nearest tube Ladbroke Grove)

Wine Gums and Prada

I can only describe these Prada Resort 2007 ads as delectable because they make me wanna rush out and buy a bulk pack of Maynards Wine Gums and cram them in my mouth.  Oh yeah...I suppose the bags are quite nice in that 'practical no-frills nylon bag' way but really it's the juicy colours that are the key thing.  And the shoes....

Well you know me and flats.  Yes, me likey very muchy.  One in every colour combo please.  How much?!  Oh ok....maybe just one pair....
