Fuck me!! You're right!!

I'm not keen on orange.

LaurieFairyCake · 04/03/2011 16:00

Apparently orange is huge this year Hmm

And it's one of my 'colours'. I have never owned anything orange. Just can't bring myself to wear it. I think it shines an unflattering light on the face and makes makeup look dirty.

I've sen a LOT of that colour around in the shops. I dont like it. its too brick red terracotta for me

TracyK · 04/03/2011 16:03

DirtyBit · 04/03/2011 16:39

Pmsl, I work for Mint Velvet...you have no idea how exciting it is to open a delivery that is not grey Grin

SheWhoMustNotBeFlamed · 04/03/2011 17:27

I like that dress too, TracyK.

So DB, when are they next doing a 20% off promotion ??

AintMissBeehiving · 04/03/2011 19:16

Cod'll be pleased except she hates that colour too Grin

Gillybobs · 04/03/2011 22:30

There is a 20% off code in Woman and Home this month. Think its WHOME

blindassassin · 05/03/2011 06:59

Thanks Gillybobs, it's actually 25% which is brilliant!

TracyK · 05/03/2011 10:10

Anyone know what their sizing is like?
Although maybe I need to go into HOF and do some trying on and then come home and order with the 25% code?? When does the code run out?

SheWhoMustNotBeFlamed · 05/03/2011 11:19

YESSSSSSSS!!

Gillybobs · 05/03/2011 11:19

Not sure when code runs out, a friend just sent me a message about it. Assume its a good few weeks as its a monthly magazine IYSWIM.

Sizing is fairly generous I would say

TracyK · 05/03/2011 18:25

Am heading into HOF on Friday - can't wait. I wonder if I can lose half a stone by Friday??

DirtyBit · 07/03/2011 17:50

Noooo sizing is not generous!
A lot of things that are made from silky type materials can be quite deceiving in that they look a lot bigger than they fit.
Definately make sure you try stuff on before you buy it, as you really can't tell what it will be like until you have it on.
Most of the jersey stuff is fine size-wise, denim is generally a good fit - the stretchier denim is v. generous, most people go for a size smaller and look fab :)

i liek teh bags but fear they are all huge
what one is a hobo(!) style but not enormous

DirtyBit · 07/03/2011 18:10

Haha what gossip do you want to know ;)
Hope my bosses don't frequent MN or I'll be tracked down Shock I feel like a spy.

withagoat what kind of size are you looking for?
this is a lovely one, it's a decent size for an every day handbag, about the size I would use. But the smaller ones like these are really nice as well.

withagoat · 07/03/2011 19:26

like does anyone say " god all you have is grey"

even the shop in chichester is grey

withagoat · 07/03/2011 19:26
