The winter and summer sales are the best times (and for me the only times) to get new sheets and towels. Since the arrival of The New Bed last October I’ve been using the old king-size sheets which are 1) really old and 2) way too big, so today I decided to splash out on some new ones. In the past I’ve gone for simple cotton sheets that I’d jazz up with some embroidered trim but this time these 330 thread Egyptian cotton ones caught my eye.

Now for some (sledpress) 330 may not seem like such a high thread count, but for me this is total luxury. And of course now there is no going back to the usual cheapo 180 thread sheets so before the sales end I’m going to have to get a second set of these. But hey, I’m worth it.

What’s your favourite extravagence?
