That's an instruction, not a request! S & B just isn't the same without you :(

is there a petition I can sign?

lupo · 03/01/2013 07:22

yes, why did it disappear?? Please come back!

AmberNectarine · 03/01/2013 07:56

Awww, you're too kind. I'm still floating about S&B, as are a few others. Most of us are having a no-spend January (not me) anyway so we might be a bit boring atm....

AntPants1 · 03/01/2013 14:27

Yep we are still around. Am on no spend (ok min spend) January so yes very boring!!!!

cardoon · 03/01/2013 14:31

Was about to make similar demand Grin

PeppaPrig · 03/01/2013 14:31

I quite agree! S&B isn't the same without you.

I miss links from Decameron and her codes a lot Smile

Also loved Blossoming's links and hope she's doing well.

justasecond · 03/01/2013 15:42

I miss them too, I loved the links. S&B is a bit dry atm, maybe because everyone is looking forward to the new season?

MrsCampbellBlack · 03/01/2013 15:48

Yes - I am so over winter. Am already mentally compiling new season wish list.

cardoon · 03/01/2013 15:54

POST IT MrsCB Grin.....you know you want to.....

ToastedTeacakes · 03/01/2013 16:51

I have only just found a smart winter coat so the season had better bloody stick around a bit.

But let's face it ladies, it will rain until June, and maybe then some, so discussions about stylish rainwear should suffice.

ToastedTeacakes · 03/01/2013 16:53

Rainwear for the entire family

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/01/2013 17:38

Yes, go on Mrs CB - let's see the wish list!

Mine is v boring - I want a hip length slim cowl neck black jumper, some sort of mini-ish dress or skirt and a big tan bucket type bag, I think.

ShotgunNotDoingThePans · 03/01/2013 17:59

Thanks - that is lovely but as a House of Colour former victim client, I avoid black!

cardoon · 03/01/2013 18:02

Wow, love that coat TT, how's the sizing?

lupo · 03/01/2013 18:05

ohh does this mean that the Avid and Wise thread is back? I have just bought the phase eight zoe dress in the sale -very nice fit and versatile.please link to YOUR purchases.

faustina · 03/01/2013 18:21

I love that bag Ambernectarine - the leather looks so pebbly!

ToastedTeacakes · 03/01/2013 18:22

The sizing is true for this coat, I think, so the XS actually is XS. Not vanity sized by any stretch. Most Zara coats seem big to me, although some a bit smaller in the arms.

The coat is also navy, not black! A bugger picking fluff off it though, but worth it!

TheSandstoneCat · 03/01/2013 18:23

Lovely coat Teacake but I am never confident about Zara sizes. Not sure they really do 5'9" 12/14 heffalumps like me :)
