Daily Temptation...

Published on Thursday 4th October 2007

Ok so this could be seriously dangerous. Reiss has entered the online retail world.

When it comes to trying to resist the daily temptation of online gorgeousness, I find my job quite hard enough but when one of your all time favourite stores sets up their online store and it’s pretty affordable, it becomes all the more difficult to resist.

When I say that for the past week I’ve sat at my desk from noon til night with the Reiss website minimized, I am far from lying. So far I’ve resisted, I wish I could say it was because of my immense will power, but the truth is, it’s purely because I can’t decide what to go for.

Thankfully the online range is limited; god help me when they add more.
