So I want a cape. Well actually, to clarify, I want another cape. One that looks like this one. And I can have it for the princely sum of £70 from ASOS.com — and they deliver to South Africa.* So far so good.
Let me now digress. Vogue.com (that's the UK version) is going to host the first ever Fashion's Night In on Monday November 1 from 5pm until midnight GMT — a night dedicated to online shopping and events. This is the digital equivalent of the hugely successful Fashion's Night Out. Awesome. It also means we can participate here in the colonies.
ASOS will be participating and donating £1 from every purchase to a children's charity. Double awesome. So I am going to wait until the 1st to buy my cape. Hope I don't change my mind before then!
(Also taking part are Brownsfashion.com, Matchesfashion.com, My-wardrobe.com, Net-a-porter.com and SpaceNK.com amongst others for a fashion e-tail fiesta. Follow Vogue.com for all the info about what is happening.)
*Just remember all, SA Customs charges 40% landing costs on all clothing and textiles that come into the country, so when you buy online, factor that into the price before you click BUY.
