I have a yen for a chunky silver bangle for my 40th - see any nice ones?

[AintMissBeehiving]

Or rather my Dad does as a present for me (he doesn't know yet) . I can't leave it to chance. Christmas before last he bought me a shit coloured zip up lined with fleece cardigan with bobbles made from llama wool. Forever known in our family as the "goat coat".

Help me save him from himself. It's an act of charity.

Hello, MissPottyMouth.

Is your dad in Norwich? If so, I can reccommend Nova Silver. They've got a little shop in Chapelfield, but their main shop and workshop is in Lower Goat Lane.

DH has got me some really nice bits there. And if he gets it wrong, they are happy to exchange.

Hello foundalovelypairofshoeswantingmore . You alright?

Dad is in Norwich and LGL is where he purchased the aforesaid goat coat. I bought the most lovely necklace at Nova a couple of years ago. I will send him with strict instructions to avoid knitwear. Thank you.

I'm quite intrigued by the goat coat. Am going that side of the city on Wednesday so will have a look. I thought it was all teenage boutiques and the odd charity shop.

Found these in Jarrold's. What do you think? The only thing stopping me is that my mum buys Jane Shilton shoes.

Can't find a picture of it exactly, so you'll have to close your eyes and imagine the this chic number enhanced by a dog shit brown colourway and with the addition of some jaunty bobbles. I ask you! FFS

Like the shoes - like the tan best. They're not very Shilton-esque - console yourself with that thought.

Sorry, jumping in on your funny convo. I love that model's 'how cool am I?' face! Gothic hippy my arse!

You have to give her points for trying!

Perhaps you just weren't striking the right pose, Miss?

Your dad obviously saw the potential in the goat coat that you missed.

Either that or he is getting back at you for that time he was pushing you on the swings, you swung your legs out, and caught him in the knackers.

It happened to DH today. I've almost stopped laughing.

aside from funny links to goat coats, seriously where are the links to chunky silver braclettes ? , myself am looking for similar, where are the links ? Come on Mn'ers help OP and myself out here ?

Ooh - there's some nice stuff on that site. Thanks

Corazon Latino 's service is fantastic too. I get loads from them, and I used to send my dad there because they are so good at helping useless men get something appropriate AND they have a money back guarantee so if he get's something awful or that doesn't fit you can swap or he can get his money back... AND best yet, if he buys something you'll get a coupon for 10% off your next piece as well. Top site.

Wow, that website has some fantastic stuff.

This girl has some unusual stuff too. A lot is really pricey and I've never actually bought from her but I have been tempted...

PS. The jacket is hideous. Can not even imagine it brown with bobbles What was he thinking? Silver bangle DEFINITELY a wiser choice.

Do you want a bracelet or a bangle Oblomov?

Lovely stuff on Lucy Q too. Thanks The goat coat is beyond hideous. If only I could show you it's true vileness. It smells of llama if it gets wet. The coat was not Dad's first offence to be fair. He had form with a hot pink dressing gown, matching slippers and turban, a snot green cardi with a chain around the neckline, a purple patchwork handbag - the list goes on...

Dear god. Send the man to Corazon Latino immediately. They specialise in serial offenders. (my dad did the same to my mum, sister and I for years before we sent him the link and put a stop to it). We started with the Peruvian Connection thinking interesting ethnic jewellery, but we too ended up with Llama (although nothing as hideous as your decribe)

I have a hankering after the Georg Jensen Mobius bangle....see one here

here

(warning only used this website for the picture - I iknow nothing about the company)

Georg Jensen is one of the classics like Links or Tiffany. I think he's Danish. One of the big name designers, been around forever...

At that price nothing to fear there.

Bit steep unless it weighs a ton (and of course no mention of weight so you can't compare the price with other stuff). Paying for the name I guess.

Really nice though.
