Oh lovely S&B'ers

[MrsCampbellBlack]

Show me your lovely recent purchases and lets have a truly nice S&B thread.

And I'm throwing caution to the wind as really fancy some very dark indigo skinny bootcuts and a slinky tunic So any inspiration on that front would be greatly appreciated.

I think you may have already seen my sparkly jumper. Am now hanging on for the sales!

[MrsCampbellBlack]

I love that jumper. Sales must be soon have had pre-sale stuff from loads of places and even a £10 off £50 Brora thing - have never known discounting like it.

[dexter73]

We are going up to London on the 28th Dec for a 2 days and a night so will save myself until then. There isn't actually anything I have my eye on at the moment so will just wait and see! Have you got a slinky tunic in mind?

[ujjayi]

I have (hopefully) the non-maternity version of this . It is both sequin and tunic which could count as a double whammy s&b no-no in certain circles

[madammecholet]

I think I must be working too hard as i've not bought much recently! Am hankering after this in my xmas stocking though monica vinader bracelet...

[ujjayi]

Oh and I agree about the discounts. Even Toast have had mini-sales, discounts etc which I have never seen in the 8 years I have shopped with them.

[kaumana]

Dexter that is a fab jumper.

I bought a pair of skinny black coated jeans from DP that would look great with that or the Mango one.

Holding off for the sales now as well but have been tempted by a few flash sales.

[dexter73]

I love the cowl back on your dress. Hopefully you can score a hat-trick and wear it with mum boots/shoes!!

[MrsCampbellBlack]

Oh that's lovely Ujjayi - I do love sequins. Perfect school-run dress

[MrsCampbellBlack]

Yeap you need my pistols - the most expensive mum boots in the world apparently.

[ujjayi]

I don't think I have mum boots. I had my biker boots on when I tried the dress on and I loved that look but bought these for its debut tomorrow evening.....which I guess qualify as mum shoes as they are "comfy"!

Dexter it was the cowl that I loved too plus the fact that it is a-line.

[ujjayi]

madamecholet I received an MV Fiji bracelet in a goodie bag last year at an event we went to.....am hoping for a repeat this year :) they are very simple but very lovely.

[CaroleService]

I reckon that would also be fab worn backwards ujjayi

[mrscrimbobash]

nancy dee dress

This is going to go with everything!!!! I'm so excited.

[ujjayi]

Carole . Funnily enough worn that way around it would be similar to an French Coonection cowl front dress last winter!

[ujjayi]

Oops these just arrived . I bought the black dress in a panic as these hadn't arrived.......now, what to do?

[ujjayi]

Mrscrimbobash I keep seeing dresses in that lovely style and thinking how versatile they would be......

[dexter73]

As this is a nice thread I will just say I prefer the dress !!

[Caerlaverock]

please find me a nice top for these

[Stevie77]

Going to the states for Christmas & Jan so am holding off hoping for good finds. Typical that I've been seeing lots of stuff I like whilst on a spending ban!

[ujjayi]

Ha ha Dexter.... Beautifully, stylishly and tactfully put

Caerlaverock I have similar trousers from H&M and wear with chunky cable knit navy jumper for daytime and navy collarless silk shirt for evening. Is that the kind of thing you were thinking?

[Caerlaverock]

I was thinking gauzy knit but can't find anything suitable. Chunky cable sounds good for day

[ujjayi]

I have seen gauzy knits in Zara, H&M and Monsoon. Just about to start supper but will try and find links later.

Chunky knit was from H&M. It's a wool/synthetic blend but isn't too bad for that - I have a loathing of acrylic.

[Caerlaverock]

oh maybe this

[MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe]

Lovely links

The navy lace skirt for work I ordered from La Redoute finally arrived. It is lovely though.

I have been wearing my Steve Madden Ash a-likes to death and am awaiting the arrival of //www.newlook.com/shop/shoe-gallery/view-all-shoes/light-brown-leather-panel-cocealed-wedge-hi-tops_259185121?icClicked=addToBag&icCategory=cat30007&_requestid=2320037.

I can feel some investment knitwear coming on in the sales.
