I know I'm totally pooing on people's parade when I post about sample sales in the right hand column that are only relevant for Laaandoners.  Hey, it works both ways and I get a bit jealous of all those sale notices that Top Button, NYC sends me too.  However, sample sales going online are slowly filtering through and it's even more of a suprise that Boudicca (posts on Boudicca are surely into double figures now!), a London-based label that I can't heap enough praise and admiration for, have a small selection of their wares online in a wee sample sale....

It's not the mix-mash of crap and really really old/mouldy things on squashed up rails that you might find at sample sales (though those kind of sales have their perks too...) but a small selection of garments from the past few seasons that make sense with each other as well as standing out on their own.

Did I say about wearing a gigantic bow?  I think so and this top does 'gigantic bow' perfectly. £380

I have two items in this exact shade of pink metallic lurex.  Another wouldn't hurt? £240   

This jacket manages to balance silver lurex and luxurious wool.... not sure how... £500

A different sort of bomber jacket that has the right amount of puff in it.  £360

I love a ruffle at the bottom of the skirt that is sudden as opposed to gradiated, sort of like a rabbit's tail. £500 

As you can see, the prices aren't exactly sample-sale expectant but for brand new pieces that have had a lot of man hours and technical know-how put into them that are pretty much one-offs, considering Boudicca's brand presence....well.... if I had it, I know where the £££ would be going...

Back to the Laaandoners though.  More hardcore Boudicca bargains might be unearthed at their upcoming sale this Saturday and it also involves lots of caaaake..... yes, that's right, I said cake and Boudicca in the same sentance.... it's goooood.
