Saw the Coast navy sequin skirt today and tried on - quite long on me though but a bargain.(have ordered the BR one as black more useful to me)
M&S Limited collection camel/leopard scarf is quite nice too and has a touch of muted lime in it.

Felt very strange asking for the P8 Navy Janice today (and furtively looking over my shoulder)!

Vin Am not sure about the shoulders on the black dress

vin The DvF is much much better than black I think. Colour looks more like burgundy or dark red on the screen. My vision might be a bit blurred due to red wine...
I love that purple HH. If purple was my colour I would so buy it at that price!

What do we think of this?

FritziGreenEyes · 16/01/2011 19:08

or is it think about... OMG my use of prepositions is terrible! Blush

FritziGreenEyes · 16/01/2011 19:11

cake Are you going to watch another film? I miss going to the cinema on Sunday night...

loobylu3 · 16/01/2011 19:12

vin- the HH purple dress is lovely and I have found one on ebay which here which will probably go for even less!
Let me know if you are not going to bid as I might be tempted myself Grin

Chant: there will be no more black for vin.....

FritziGreenEyes · 16/01/2011 19:16

looby The purple in the ebay pic doesn't look too bright. Would that be ok for a summer, bloss?

ollie Were you looking for patent nude heels the other day? Although not cheap, I love these

FritziGreenEyes · 16/01/2011 19:26

Or those if you don't like open-toe.

LetThemEatCake · 16/01/2011 19:28

I messaged that HH buyer asking whether it's a UK 8 or a US8 .. if US that would make it about a UK 12-14 ...

notyummy · 16/01/2011 19:32

Bloody hell Fritzi, you should post a warning before that sort of thing! can't believe the price!

loobylu3 · 16/01/2011 19:36

Well done LTEC. I had assumed Uk 8 as seller UK based but best to check!

fritzi- I saw those LKB sling backs the other day. They are gorgeous! Don't know anything re colours but I would probably wear it and am a Summer (I think)!

notyummy · 16/01/2011 19:37

My last was about those shorts btw Grin

OllieWollieWoo · 16/01/2011 19:38

I did see those earlier thanks Fritzi, lovely aren't they - I bizarrely can't seem to keep slingback shoes on my feet - they fly off!
I love the courts but too high for me
Sorry about the cinema LTEC.

Hello Milli - am v envious of your height. I'm 5ft6 and a size 12. I think you already sound v stylish too but lovely you have already have some key W&A pieces Smile. What part of the UK are you from?

OllieWollieWoo · 16/01/2011 19:39

Does that seem a very low starting price for a HH? (Reassures others that purple is NOT in my colour palette)

OllieWollieWoo · 16/01/2011 19:51

Last thing - Bloss, I ordered the Pure coat in navy. Website wouldn't accept my new bankcard (from my new allowance account) so DH said to use our creditcard - and didnt mention paying it back! Yey! (Had to pay 12 pounds delivery tho so hope it fits as hate spending even more sending it back - have no doubts I will like it tho!)
Wondering if the lovely swallow scarf LTEC has found would be a good match with it? Too much darkísh blue perhaps?
Everything - also meant to say how interesting your link was. I think I am a 'Natural' type!

LetThemEatCake · 16/01/2011 19:51

OWW I bought a brand new with tags HH on ebay for £40 not so long ago. also recently sold a Marc Jacobs that I started at £30. Think high start prices put people off so best to start low(ish) that's my thinking anyway! They always get driven way up.

On which note I have made over £150 on ebay today so my Raymond Sandler snakeskin shoes are virtually free.

Have booked cinema for tomorrow night. Dh going o/s on Tues and when he gets back it's virtually time for mum to go home so I needed to get a night out with her in while dh around to babysit.

HH sizing is US and comes up large if anyone is interested!

hellsbelles · 16/01/2011 19:53

I just got a cheque from the clothes agency I took some tat clothes to. Well chuffed.

I really need to get my ebaying sorted though...I suspect i would get much much more than I'm getting from the agency (they take 50% of the sale price)

Vin - sorry - and thank you for the advice, as you say - it's good she won't need it!
