When you’re cruising through your inbox to rid it of the few items your spam filter missed, pointless newsletters you never signed up for, Nigerian-style scams (which, sadly, still make their way through) and shockingly unrelated press releases and you stumble up one featuring an image of a woman bent over with her head in a box and wearing nothing more than heels, and underwear, you do sort of pause and wonder, “Huh? What the hell is this for?”

OK, that was a long sentence. Anyway, this email is from The Observer’s Very Shop List and it’s all about improving your summer wardrobe with a visit to Rue La La, a “a private two-day sales boutique of the most desirable designers at 30-80% off retail prices.”

Have at it.
