I think we are in danger of succumbing to Johnnie's foreplay- and he is working us up into t right lather.
The thought of 40% off has got us all weak at the knees.
No?

I bet it will be 40% off all the horrible crap no one wants.
You are warned.

i loved the Santorini skirt but noticed the Iris colour was not in the sale. TBH i find the skirt lengths a bit short. I know you can buy a longer length.

I bought a really nice long skirt last year which i have worn alot and you can twist it to wash.

I am totally blaming you lot for enticing me with a further 15% off for ordering another rainyday coat,not bad though for £53.

AnonymousBird · 14/04/2011 14:24

Sneaky beggars have updated the pictures since 7 this morning!!!! Now all clearly have sale spots on them... CLEARLY they are on MN!

cabbageroses · 14/04/2011 14:29

tulpe- I would go for it if i were you- had I kept it, I would have worn with skinny dark wash jeans and pumps.

whens the proper sale on?

EvilTwins · 14/04/2011 14:43

Got a stack of cute t-shirts for DTDs' friends' birthdays... paid £57 rather than £105 - not bad, I thought. And a dress for me for £35.10 instead of £59.

tulpe · 14/04/2011 15:23

cabbageroses you are such an enabler.......

:o

Meggles76 · 14/04/2011 15:33

As predicted, I did browse and did place an order Grin
Got the navy boatneck jumper in navy, the navy knot front wedges and the silver v neck short sleeve knit top - I ordered this last week but will return that one as it cost me much less today

www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Womens-Accessories/Bags/AM139/Womens-Leather-Trim-Tote.html

the reviews of the dress are mixed, the sizing/shape seems a bit off, so not sure how it will be, have ordered a size up, but will have to wait and see

tulpe · 14/04/2011 18:01

Meggles have been wondering when you would pop along :o

I have ordered the navy boatneck too. The Carnation version arrived yesterday and looks fab with dark denim. Wasn't sure whether to keep it or not but TBH I wear so much navy all year round so it's nice to have something a bit different.

Lulumama - which colour dress did you go for? I have ordered the blue as reviews are v positive about its brightness.

Received an email today saying all stuff has been despatched so am looking forward to a delivery tomorrow. DH on the other hand is looking forward to me going to the post office and returning some stuff :o

kittya · 14/04/2011 18:26

I think I got that top too, the linen knitted one? and, a silk scarf. Great minds..... Smile

Meggles76 · 14/04/2011 18:40

at Tulpe. I can never resist Johnnie's offers Wink. Thought the navy would go with my tobacco colour chinos in this chilly weather.

Yes Kittya the linen knit one. Super flattering.

Also received an email to say that it is all on its way...

moragbellingham · 14/04/2011 18:43

Oh dear, lots of things for the DDs and a few for me.
Although I did have to phone them today to ask where my refund from 4 weeks ago was!!

I think it's a ploy to stop me shopping.

Meggles76 · 14/04/2011 18:45

That reminds me that I must ring them about a refund they did the other day. They refunded 2 of the things that were in the parcel but not the other 2!!

moragbellingham · 14/04/2011 18:49

Yeah - same here, weird.
I now write everything down just in case I have to "prove" I returned something on the Post Office slip

AnonymousBird · 14/04/2011 18:57

OO, I have ordered linen knitted top in two colours - looking forward to seeing that one!

Oh, and the chambray dress, the everyday dress and a couple of other things Blush.

At least half is going back though as I order everything in two sizes and two colours.

have despatch email too!!!

Lulumama · 14/04/2011 19:55

tulpe I ordered it in white as I have a thing for white linen. not sure why, as it always gets grubby and crumpled, but I like to try to be groomed !

tulpe · 14/04/2011 19:58

Lulumama am envious of any woman who can carry off white linen dresses. As I am only naturally tanned for 2 weeks of the year I fear that I would either look as though I had wandered off the ward during a lapse in supervision or have hideous orange fake tan marks around hems in an attempt to liven up my skin from grey to regular skin tone.

Lulumama · 14/04/2011 20:00

erm, not sure I can carry it off ! I find white suits me, although I am pale skinned...

cabbageroses · 14/04/2011 20:14

well, did you tulpe? Grin

The delivery man who comes here is coming to go pots- he has been almsot every day with parcels and 99% has gone back.

I have now had emails to say that 3 dresses on back order are coming, and 2 sale parcels.

People will think we are in love Smile

Ok I have been seduced by the 40% hype and i am going to get the avignon jacket ( ordered purple and navy- will keep 1) - I was also going to get a beachcomber scarf, can anyone recommend and if so which colour?

mumtoted · 14/04/2011 20:44

I've ordered the chambray dress and will give it a good iron as suggested on here before I try it on. With the extra 15% & free p+p its now £33.15 instead of £59.

Bet it goes back.
