I know, I know, with these long headlines I am really spoiling you. ANYWAY. Asos is offering 20% off partywear. Lord knows what falls into the realms of partywear, but I care not. I love only the discounts.

If you get Elle magazine‘s newsletter, you will today have been able to enter a competition to win £600 in River Island vouchers. Not too shabby, I hear you say. [Edit: this competition is not open to Irish subscribers. I am investigating this, Poirot-style, and will report back.]

In news of my Peter Pilotto for Kipling giveaway, the lucky winner of the bag is none other than commenter number #1, Julie Davis, for her pithy and frankly hilarious response. Quick off the mark, that one. Julie, drop me an email rmaccabe@irishtimes.com with your postal details and the bag will be winging its way to you soon.
