My main worry about buying wayfarers from eBay is the very real risk that the lenses are fake and not UV protective.
Although you may argue they are real, common logic would suggest they are not. How would one come across a large batch of wayfarers and be able to sell them for a third of the price? Trust me I have seen some VERY good fakes. But, then again I could be wrong.
I just know I would be more inclined to pay full whack to satisfy my conscience.
On the topic of the Wayfarers which style do people prefer most: the original 2140 or the new 2132 style?
Some summer purchases:
Some basic t-shirts from H and M: white, navy, burgundy and breton striped
A pair of brown boat shoes from Topman, about 20 down from 40
I'm on the look out for some nice white trousers though. Any recomendations? The ones from Zara look quite nice

Bargains in the sale for me today:
Work shirt (burgundy with very small black polka dots)
Knitted T
Knitted slim jumper
Also bagged a pair of French Connection jeans from TK Maxx - £20!
Tried em on and took a pic. Made up with them. I've been after a pair in this colour for ages and was very close to spending £80 in All Saints on a similar looking pair last week!

You need to get buying Billy.
I have just spent all my birthday money and vouchers (plus some of my own money) on all sorts of stuff online. I'd post what i bought in pic form but honestly, i'd be here all night.
In short I have bagged a LOAD of plain crew neck t-shirts in a variety of colours - white, burgundy, rust, olive etc. A breton striped T, a white and burgundy tipped polo, a navy jumper, a printed navy shirt, a light blue denim jacket, a rose coloured denim jacket, a grey denim jacket (lol), khaki skinny jeans, H by Hudson lace up woven shoes in brown, 2 neckerchiefs, a beige Harrington jacket, 3 oxford shirts - one blue, one white, one pink (white one short sleeved), aaaand a pair of very pale pink skinny jeans and another in a dusty pale blue colour. (Breathes).
Spent a fortune - but when people asked me what I wanted for my birthday (was last week) - I just said gift cards / money so it's all gone on that.
Is it wrong that I still feel like I want to buy more?

Last week of exams now, going to go for a massive overdue shop after. Looking for a white oxford, black blazer and something in mint.
Sounds good, always love a post birthday binge.

Blimey, that's a lot of items! Your Post-Man must hate you.
Where's the beige harrington from? I'm looking out for something similar as well.

I really wanted to get the "grape" promenade suit jacket from Reiss, but it was out of my size.. I somehow stumbled on a nice slim fitting 40R in NEXT of all places... only £64 - bargain of the day.
I picked up this Reiss shirt, and these gorgeous fitting chinos from Ted Baker

More summer shopping today!
WHITE TROUSERS! Got some lovely slim fitting ones from H and M for only £15. Thought I'm probably going to be back there in a month when they inevitably get ruined.
