    Yeah, I got mine this morning! :j:j:j

    It is excellent, much better than the one I recieved as a gift.

    It contained:

    1. A reddish orange cotton tunic top with triangle embroidery pattern around a lovely V strap neckline

    2. A pretty Blue/White cotton strappy daydress

    3. A gorgeous very smart designer Bora Aksu dress. It is very unusual (but lovely), so am having trouble figuring out where the sash goes.

    4. Blue fitted T shirt

    5. Green fitted T-shirt

    6. Reddish Orange fitted T-shirt

    Everything will be worn, even the tees are really cute (they have a turn back cuff, and extra bit of fabric at the hem), great for casual wear with shorts/skirts, or even for sleeping in (esp in this weather with short style undies). My bag was easily worth well over the £100 mark, as the Bora Aksu dresses can be near/and over that price. I also bought a grecian top reduced from £38 to £10, which is stunning.

    I am over the moon.:j:j:j I may have to get another. ;)

    Didn't get a goody bag but did get a dress in sale - am an 8-10, prob nearer a 10 at the moment but their size 8 is generous on me, even with the extra pounds !!- go for a smaller size if you're not sure...

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I bought a bag and I got the same "reddish orange cotton tunic top with triangle embroidery pattern around a lovely V strap neckline" as sublime.
    I also got :-

    A blue t shirt.
    A grey tunic top with red swirls.
    A very tent like red tunic with fabric tie belt.
    A designer outfit which is enourmous and made of 4 seperate pieces which button together to make one garment.

    I will only use the reddish orange tunic top and the grey tunic top. The others I'll cut up and see if I can use the fabric to make something more my style.

    I ordered size 10 although I'm a 12 and they are still huge on me.

    I'm glad there are a couple of things you like, so worth £30 in your case. Could you not use the T-shirt to sleep in. Thats what I'll be doing with my green one tonight, and perhaps you could ebay the other two items?

    I've just had a look myself. Fancy a couple of dresses now. Do you know if the goody bags contain items from their web site or is it older stock?
    I think I am going to ban myself from Moneysavingexpert. I keep on wanting to spend MORE money :)

    I can't see any of the items I recieved online at the mo, if thats any help, but when I was describing the Bora Aksu dress to my sister she seemed to know the one I mean't, so I'm assuming must have been from earlier in the season, although I may be wrong.

    I nearly bought a Blue/White dress from them for £26 reduced from £44, and I'm so glad I didn't, as the one I got in my goody bag is nicer. I did really well this time, but it's like a lucky dip as to what items you get.
