I think we’re far enough through August to start coveting for the new season, don’t you? I’m not flush enough to be trotting down Bond St (if you are, well done!!) but who needs Londinium anyway with My Boudoir in Marlow and its pre-loved designer gear.  The shop seems to land a never ending supply of Mulberry, Westwood, Chanel and friends at discounted prices.

Plenty of gorgeousness knocking around the shop at the mo including these gorgeous Louboutin peep-toe boots (£495)

… or how about this Roland Mouret dress, £225 down from £395?

Or this Alexander McQueen check dress (which I’m coveting badly in a trendy school-mistress kind of way), £250 down from £325.

One more? Go on then, let’s spend our virtual money! I love this Chanel bag too – the total antithesis to all the tassles, sparkles and boho chintziness of the summer though I’m guessing only die-hard designers fans will fork out over £2k even for this delectable tote.

The new season’s nearly here, let’s shop this bad boy.
