Best Poundland Find Ever!
I’ve spoken in the past about my love for Poundland bargains, there is simply no denying that I love shopping there, and today was literally one of those days that was completely unexpected and full of complete thrill...
Influence by Mary-Kate and Ashley is one of my favourite fashion books, I eagerly awaited its release in 2008 and bought my copy after months of lusting after it. It certainly didn’t disappoint, my 19-year old self adored the Olsen twins, and it’s always one I refer back to again and again. It’s a true coffee table book, which oozes style, fashion and freedom.
Basically, I LOVE this book.
When I spotted this on the shelf in my local Poundland (Sheffield, Crystal Peaks) this morning I couldn’t quite believe my eyes, this book is worth much, much more than the £1 price tag, which of course makes me a little sad, even the greatest are sometimes destined for the clearance.
When they released this book it came with two different covers (one Mary-Kate and one Ashley) and at the time I ordered it, it was a gamble to which one I would get, so I just had to buy a second copy with the opposite cover for my own bookshelf today.
p.s I’ve missed you.

That's just what I love about Poundland - you never know what you'll find! How cool that you got the second copy to compliment your first book. We missed you blogging too x
ReplyDeleteIn essence it's the exact same book, but the covers are different so of course it makes perfect sense!
DeleteAww thank you, I've missed you Sophie xxx
missed you too :) I find the best things in poundland like stila make up and loads of pop albums like Gwen Stefani and Britney xx
ReplyDeleteWill have to look out for those pop albums! Never looked at the CD section before, but I'm sure there are some gems to be found. I missed you Gem xxx
DeleteLove a good Poundland bargain, I've got loads of CDs from my local one. xx
ReplyDeleteWill certainly be looking at the CDs on my next visit xxx
DeleteWow, that was a bargain, I remember coveting this when it came out! x
ReplyDeleteIt's an amazing book, certainly lived up to the hype xxx
DeleteThat definitely is one of the best pound land finds ever? I still have my copy but the covers have been gnawed by my bunny so I should pick up a new one! xo
ReplyDeleteYes! At a £1 you can't go wrong, just for the imagery alone xxx
DeleteWOw - what a find! I think I may need to pop to my local pundland and see if they have this in stock as I've wanted it for ages!
ReplyDeleteYou so should! It's an amazing book, full to the brim of amazing photographs and text xxx
DeleteLovly to see your blog pop up again! I was admiring a huge Bollywood film poster book at Mumbai airport a couple of years ago but it was £30 and way out of my price limit. Guess what turned up in Poundland in the summer? I only wish I'd bought two! x
ReplyDeleteThank you Vix. It just goes to show the most unexpected items can turn up in Poundland. I paid about £20 for my original copy of Influence, if only I'd known it would turn up in Poundland! xxx
DeleteOh I so wanted a copy of that too!! But it's so expensive online, what an absolute bargain :-) Well spotted!
ReplyDeleteNice to have you back :-)
Jem xXx
It's an amazing book Jem, I must admit I'm such an Olsen fangirl, but it's a great fashion book too, full of cutting edge design and beautiful images and interviews.
DeleteAll in all it's a fab book xxx
Oh wow I didn't know about this! Glad you got the opposite cover =) xx
ReplyDeleteBoth covers kind of makes it complete. Although I'd already got the one copy, I still think this has been one of my best finds! xxx
DeleteI didn't know about these books but it looks like a great find!! I remember the days when I used to have the twins in matching hawaiian print t-shirts on a poster in my bedroom... yup, I was in their official fanclub haha :)
