Avidly assessing Autumn buys, whilst Wisely still wearing summer styles...

Evening all!

haha thanks yes they sound quite good described in colour palettes

see you later ron

Hello All!

Red - glad you are enjoying west country life - also keen to meet up with you and plum and hopefully dolcee - how about here right next door to mulberry factory shop

Am liking these in black for winter going out as last year's m&s shoeboots are just a bit too high really [getting old]

OMG. I have my very own internet for the first time in a month.

Much to catch up on but first important breaking news: J.Crew bringing new countries into international shipping....

I'm back too, as my beloved iPhone and I have been reunited.

Hope any if those near the riots are ok.

Will catch up properly later. My news though, well I am massive already. carciofi I am in the seraphine top you sent me today, and it's lovely. Oh, and I have your bump band on too!

Our house is now officially on the Market, and have a fee viewings booked. We have found a lovely house too, but a bit £££ so much thought needed.

Thank you ladies, I guess I should really get them done at some point - today I'm in a bright yellow (but mustardy) Cardigan that I think looks great on and I think that'd be out of the winter range. It sounds like you and I have similar colouring Amber - I also suit jewelly tones.

MrsCB I really am loving it - we were wandering around Cabot Circus way today and am most impressed. That place looks wonderful - am a bit limited by my not driving so need to work on rectifying that! Shall we get a Saturday in September in the diary?

I may have to call off the dress hunt after finding my perfect coat which I have no choice but to buy. Not online yet but is a pea-type coat in blue from Reiss. So perfect. Also tried this hat which was fab but I'm going to try and find a cheaper version of it.

Like the snakeskin jumper, although neither colour would look great on me, I don't think. Annie thanks for offer, but she has stashed a load of copies so will get one when I next see her!

Hello all you Avid Ones . I haven't had much of an S&B vibe this year - too much other stuff going on - but took myself in hand this afternoon (DD was on an all day playdate) and went to take a good look at the AW11 stuff just entering the shops. I raided Vanessa Bruno - fab for pretty every day tops that look great, aren't high street/instantly recognisable and don't break the bank - bought four! And also bought the grey bag I have been ogling in Repetto, a pair of really sweet faux leopard ballerinas (Annie) and a pair of fine grey wool slightly cropped and ever so slightly harem trousers (Marni Winter Collection).

Oh - MrsCampbellBlack - Pucci has a fab leopard print knee length padded coat, light as air... (EUR +++ but a present, maybe?) Thought of you!

Pucci

You are right, MrsCB, I too was nearly crippled by my shoe-boots last year, yet am still v drawn to these babies which are at least as high.

Goodness you ladies speed through these threads!! Marking my place and will properly check out all of your links.

Much love to all Londoners x

Blossoming, yes I posted here a few times months ago but I didn't think anyone would remember that now!

roary, that's very interesting about JCrew. I hope it works out cheaper than buying JCrew off NAP.

I'm not buying anything at the moment. I'm getting really exited by all the lovely AW collections coming out to the point that it's nearly overwhelming so I've decided to wait and see what I still covet after the novelty of the new season has worn off. [wise]

For those of you who own Belstaffs - is it worth getting the soles treated in some way by a cobbler?

Mon Dieu! Am swooning over WIT's new bag.

Oh Plum, be still my beating heart!

That bag is magnificent. DH is getting weekly reminders to buy me one for my 30th... To be fair it will take me until then to make my mind up about colour (as I don't think he'll be willing to spring for two!)

Breton lovers, I was in Uniqlo yesterday and they have some lovely ones in stock, lovely and thick, good range of colours, for £14.90!

Am doing some ebaying to fund all my A/W lusts (about £3k should do it :) )

Isn't it amazing?! She knows it too. Amber we may be the same person, DH has similar instructions. I am on my last ebay items and will then have nothing left to sell! My beloved red Jaeger wrap coat has been given its marching orders to make way for the coveted Reiss number.

Amber, I have a couple of those Bretons, they are fab. Great quality, nice wide slash neck. Love 'em.

Calling MrsCB!

I seem to remember you mentioning that you have a Goat long cardi - i have seen a beautiful collarless navy one in TK Maxx today for £120. Worth the investment? Was thinking of the Boden effortless cable cardi, but for the little bit extra...

Hello - I have this one and I love it. Its flattering and I've worn it lots and it always get positive comments from people. Go for it

Bonsoir - grey bag sounds lovely! The coat is very dramatic but fear DH would fear I'd gone one step too far

And why is the tk maxx I go to not full of Goat but instead full of dodgy american tatt . . .
