The anticlimaxes can be terrible. Like plucking up the courage to talk to a man you’ve been eyeing through your cocktail glass only to find he’s got the social skills of Grant Mitchell, I’ll clock something in a shop window but almost weep when the shoddy material clings in all the wrong places as I try it on for size.
Worse is the haunting memory of "the one that got away": a pink tutu affair I dug out in a Brick Lane shop two years ago. Completely overpriced,Christian Louboutin Pumps, completely unwearable yet every ruffle is imprinted on my mind and Valentino has done something nigh-on identical for this spring/summer.
It may be a while before I grow out of them, but according to the rules of the acid "thrill-of-the-chase" test, I’ve never once regretted a clothing crush. Unlike a man, I still want them even when I’ve got them. And after three nights on the town.
CRUSH HOTSPOTS
Christian louboutin 20-22 Sloane Street, SW1  A certain silver-bow-detail mini dress is currently on my crush radar but it’s Pounds 785. Unobtainability breeds infatuation.
TOPSHOP 216 Oxford Street, W Safe but predictable – an armful of smock dresses, leggings and cropped jackets still constitutes a serious crush.
DESIGNER WAREHOUSE SALES 45 Balfe Street, N1 Next womenswear sale 23-25 March. With names from Diane Von Furstenburg to Jil Sander and Prada at a discount, it’s a sneaky way to nab a crush. Just get here early.
ANTONI AND ALISON 43 Rosebery Avenue, EC  This former Victorian electrical workshop sells one-off pieces like its A-line pillowcase skirts printed with life-size crystal candelabras and purses warning "Don’t spend any more money." Good advice from a quirky crush.
