I know, I know, its very early to be asking this question, but just curious.....eye on lots of winter things but refusing to pay full price. [hsmile]

Think it is first week of January.

MayorNaze · 20/10/2010 09:30

i seem to recall last year it was start/middle of decemberish...got a few last minute prezzis and some damn fine boots

SerendipityAlways · 20/10/2010 09:32

Now that sounds more like it MayorNaze - some of the shoes are lovely but outrageously expensive!!!

OP posts:
MayorNaze · 20/10/2010 09:46

i also have a mental shopping list already drawn up Wink

SerendipityAlways · 20/10/2010 09:55

So do I Mayornaze, please share yours!!

On my mental list, some of the mary jane shoes, maybe a pair of those cute ruffle suede ankle boots, jumpers, cardis and some of the basic jersey tops..oh and maybe a coat if the price is right.

Have had no joy with any of their dresses this season. Have returned 5 of them!! [hsad]

It seems to be around my birthday, so I'm guessing 3rd December - maybe 10th. Which is VERY handy for new Christmas togs for the little ones :)

MayorNaze · 20/10/2010 10:13

oh don't say that about dresses i have just cracked and bought this on ebay :(

i also very much want this this and this, also these

not a lot then Blush

SerendipityAlways · 20/10/2010 10:20

Yes to the bloomsbuty t bars and also to the washed velvet coat, I fancy that in the purple! Lovely for Christmas wear!

I hope you like your new dress! I just seem to have been unlucky with the dress selection this season, as I picked up a couple of lovely ones in the Summer range.

The best little thing I bought this A/W was the drapey jersey cardi (blue stripe) and a silver pleated front jumper. Very versatile.

Would be very pleased if the sale was on so early, especially for some kiddie purchases.

SerendipityAlways · 20/10/2010 11:51

MayorNaze, I have that dress in purple!

HotchpotchHoney · 20/10/2010 12:01

beginning of december for the last couple of years. i am hoping they have some of the heels left in a 42, i have the bloomsbury t-bar, they look lovely but they aren;t up to bodens usal standards of comfort and padding in the insole.

SerendipityAlways · 20/10/2010 12:27

Hotchpotch - How do you find the sizing on those shoes? I am normally a 40 but have found some of the boden shoes a little narrow in the fit.

OP posts:
HotchpotchHoney · 20/10/2010 12:49

yes i go up a size in boden shoes. normally a 7 and i am an 8 in boden.

MayorNaze · 20/10/2010 13:52

ooh PheasantPlucker is it as nice as i hope it is??? have you found the sizing ok? i read the reviews and found them a bit mixed but hve ended up going for my usual size Confused

kittya · 20/10/2010 14:59

I have never found their shoes comfortable, except the plimsolls.

The sale is always 2nd week in December.

kittya · 20/10/2010 16:34

but, if you do want the Mary Janes, theres 25% off them today!!

SerendipityAlways · 20/10/2010 18:35

Thanks Kittya - just seen that!

OP posts:
MrsC2010 · 20/10/2010 20:08

Slightly off topic, has anyone had these?

I like them (and they're 25% off today) but not sure...

Meggles76 · 20/10/2010 20:20

Definitely December. I have my eye on the ruffle shoe boots...

MrsJohnDeere · 20/10/2010 20:50

Usually first Friday in Dec

kittya · 20/10/2010 22:10

I have those plimsolls in Olive and I love them. Do go up a size though and dont forget to put the 15% off code in!!

PheasantPlucker · 22/10/2010 12:25

I love it, although the lining does ride down occasionally (as someone mentioned on MN once) MayorNaze. I am going away this weekend and have packed the dress to wear!

Simbacat · 22/10/2010 12:34

Don't you find the shoes poor quality for the price? Hobbs offer a much better quality for me. Boden use cheap leather which wrinkles. I have had 2 pairs where stitching has come undonevand a broken zip on a boot- only bought 4 pairs ever. Had over 150 pairs of Hobbs with only one broken heel ever- no splitting, no brogan zips.

MayorNaze · 24/10/2010 19:46

i have my cord dress Grin

it is my new favourite thing Grin

i am so pleased Grin
