Things I want to buy

99.9% of the time I buy online. Why? It's easy. I work part time, I do everything else (blogging, running the shop, being a wife, cleaner, ironer, taxi, gardener, laundrette manager etc etc) around this part time role (15 hrs a week for a web development company) and I have a husband who is out of the house 14-16hrs a day. I don't have the luxury of being able to mooch around the shops and our local town has some shops I like but they are small.

Ordering online is easy - you purchase, it arrives, you try, you keep or you return - simples!

Someone on Avenue 57 the other day was talking about Esprit and I suddenly remembered " I LOVE THOSE GUYS" but had somehow forgotten about them. Naughty Fiona.

I've just spent 45 mins on the site drooling over their stuff. Here's a quick run down of my needs/wants/lusts/desires. With free delivery and returns (think this is new because when I looked last year I'm sure you had to pay) what's not to love?

Navy blue cotton top - £15 (bargain and comes in orange, green, black and white)
Can already picture me in white jeans and tan wedge heels.


Padded stripey swimsuit - £30 (love the detachable neck tie)
I always need padding due to the fact I have two backs/no boobs.


Silver trainers - £45 (NEED THESE). Remind me of some that were in Jigsaw a couple of years ago at twice the price.


Mid rise slim fit white jeans - £45 (love the subtle distress)
You can NEVER have too many pairs of white jeans.



They have an amazing sale on right now. Here's what's available in my size (make sure you use the size filter whenever you are on any website)!

Jersey wrap dress - £32.99

Grey sweatshirt - £19.99
LOVE this


Long down filled parka - £79.99
At nearly half price it would be one to buy for next winter for sure



I had NO IDEA they did homeware either .. check this beauty out? I have a boring cream sofa and I reckon this would look fabulous. I like the idea of a couple of couples that DON'T match.


I want to jump right into their website and have my whole house decorated in their stuff whilst swishing around in their clothes.

Don't forget to sign up to their newsletter for 10% off (I just did because now I can be reminded about them instead of forgetting)!

Esprit - fan or not?

Fiona

    I recently rediscovered Esprit as well and love them! Seem to remember them being a bit boring and frumpy when I was in my teens so they must have had an over-haul. Would be interesting to see how to jeans fit as I've never bought any from there. X

      I remember Esprit from my 'youth' and agree that I thought it was a bit preppy and frumpy but now ... it's amazing! The jeans I've had from them in the past are true to size and totally soft in material. I have orange ones that have yet to make an appearance this year.

      I'm definitely a swimsuit type of girl these days - sadly the bikini's are long gone!

      I do love what they have to offer but always forget about them! Pleased to see they do free delivery and returns (think this must be new)

    They're not in Ireland, but I recently had a mooch around their shop in Zurich airport. I didn't purchase (tired & not in the zone) but they did have some lovely things (had I the energy to try them on!) So yes! Fan in the making :)

      How annoying is it that you can't have access to so many great stores because you're in Ireland???

    I have a few older Esprit things in my wardrobe including my favourite denim jacket that I'm wearing lots at the moment over summer dresses. They did have a shop in Belfast thats now closed, must have a look at their website, some great picks here Fiona, especially the trainers

      I absolutely adore the trainers .. they would be so good this summer with a floral dress and denim jacket ...
