Yesterday was a brilliant day for me, it brought the delivery of 2 great things, the new Porter magazine, and a gorgeous dress from Peter Pilotto for Target.
When the collection went on sale on Sunday, I didn't think I stood a chance of getting an item or that it would be SO reasonably priced (considering that the Isabel Marant collection for H&M still had some pretty prices items, and was nearly impossible to get outside of London). However, I signed in to Net-a-Porter.com on Sunday morning and lo and behold, there were items in my size and price range - oh happy day!
There wasn't even time to think, as soon as the dress was in my shopping bag, I whizzed through checkout and then waited patiently for it arrive, desparately hoping that it would fit, as by lunch time Sunday, my size had sold out.
So it arrived, the trill of opening such a special parcel with ribbons is the stuff of dreams and even better, the dress fits! A perfect dress to wear in Paris in April. I decided on my shape however, it looks better belted in, otheiwse my bust makes the proportions not quite right.....
The other arrival from Mr Postman, was the first edition of Porter magazine. A thick glossy book filled with uplifting and inspiring articles championing women without the patronising edge that sometimes comes with feminist issues; those that make you feel like you're not quite doing enough, whether it be in professional or personal life. This magazine as a whole celebrated women's acheivements and inspired readers to push themselves and embrace sisterhood without the cringe enducing "high five" moments. It also is available in digital edition, which means you can shop straight from the magazine!! Genius or dangerous, you decide! All I know is that I can't wait for the next edition!!
