GOD zara is to die for at the moment

[FluffyMummy123]

maybe as i had children with me it seemed even more alluring - tempting me into speed shopping, but i LOVED the metallics and the teal green colour

just great.
and they have the down coats in..

see tulps! we KNEW

So has anyone seen this in real life? Is it hideously polyester-ey?

WTF is this???

lol! its sold out too!

i like it for xmas do

oh i LOVE that feather skirt. if i was twenty years younger etc i would kill for that. and you wore that ludicrous sequin skirt to death a couple of seasons ago, cod, so don't start.

that green dress reminds me of kiera knightley in atonement

I was looking at that dress, petitemum. I've got a 'do' in October...

what have i done to you today aitch?
you are very cross.

High five foundwanting! I have a do in September! Need to check it out...... I hope it's not that horrid static inducing type material....

and fwiw
i like a short BIG skirt. think looks better than maxi shit

I have such a love-hate relationship with Zara:

• hate most of the stores (too hot/loud/messy)
• hate the staff (surly Spanish girls)
• hate the non-existent customer service (Zara will do anything to get out of giving a refund, won't give you a discount on damaged items etc)
• hate the poor quality (wonky seams, loose buttons, cheap synthetic fabrics)
• hate the rubbish ethics (Brazilian sweatshops; regardless of where the garment you buy was made, buying ANYTHING from Zara condones this exploitation)
• love how well they "do" retailing compared to crap British chains - e.g. I was in a store the other day and heard the manager saying to an assistant "it's going to rain later, move the raincoats to the front of the store", and they let each store manager be a "buyer" and choose what pieces their store will take to suit their local clientele
• love the fast turnover of stock so there's always something new and you rarely see other people with the same thing as you
• love, love, love the designs (except for the giant exposed metal zips that they are STILL slapping onto everything)

Friend had a black feather mini skirt last winter - it looked amazing.

I like zara, from afar. The kind of shop i go ooh ooh ooh at everything but realise nothing will really suit me. And everything I have had from there has been terrible quality and gone bobbly or saggy after a few wears. Trousers are enormous, I am 5'9" and have had seams dragging on the floor which I should really have had taken up but couldn't get round to doing it.

Like the puffa though. I am tempted by that even though I know I shouldn't.

The do I'm going to may need a few sparks to help it along.

If you see it, tell us what it's like. I won't be going near the shops for a fortnight.

I have clicked every link and don't want any of it.

Apart from maybe a handbag...

i am Permanently Furious, coddy. it's my new thing. (and i thought you were bonnekerrs. )

rofl@ rogermelly re jimmy saville

anyway, re the bootcamp, cod. you up for it? or are you still sylph-like after the last one.

Aitch - go to Comptoir and Whistles - loads of lovely stuff in there . . .

i am a big comptoir fan, come sale-time. whistles not so much, but then i don't need to do smart stuff particularly.

Agree feather skirts very nice
