Love the blogs amber and hopefully!

Thank you to whoever recommended TKMaxx for premium denim (amber?). Got a pair of 7 FAM Roxanne's yesterday for £50! Love the look and the quality. I am wearing them today with my new shirt and jumper.

In fact, yesterday turned into quite a spree as I also got this dress. You can see the shape better here. Then I found this so-soft leather jacket which will go with lots. The dress and jacket are for a get together with some old friends, but should also get lots of other use.

Hope you get your order novice!

Hi Topaz, I have that Whistles dress in this colourway, it's just so flattering.

Gorgeous leather jacket by the way.

shopafrolic · 10/02/2013 17:50

Fab shopping Topaz I have the Bella in this colourway

MarshaBrady · 10/02/2013 18:06

Ooh funny.....I've been looking at the Bella dress, now seen all of your links, really tempted........bad bad influence you lot!
Sorry but I can't find the link to hopefully's blog, could someone link it please?

Topazandpearl · 10/02/2013 22:14

It's so flattering on Drywhite, you must try it!

Hopefully's blog is here.

Drywhiteplease · 10/02/2013 22:27

this is the one I like.
Thanks for the link topaz

Drywhiteplease · 10/02/2013 22:33

Oh hopefully I love the blog. The 11th I'm following! (Slight addiction)

Topazandpearl · 10/02/2013 22:37

Dithered about that one as well Drywhite.

Go on go on go on go on (channeling Mrs Doyle for fans of Fr Ted) Grin.

Love Father Ted.........love the dress too.youre awful !

Evening all! Success! Thanks to QueenBoo, I managed to get my cardigan. Yippee! I was out the whole day and came back convinced that I had lost the chance as there were only two left when QueenBoo sent it to me. She managed to find it in LA of all places and in my size too. Here is the link Madison Los Angeles. If you register first there is a 10% discount, taking off $50, which you will need as the FedEx charge is $45! I am trying not to think about the fact that i was there 4 weeks ago on a business trip. Shock this is so sad but i put it onto my own credit card rather than the usual joint credit card to save dh even more stress when he opens this months statement BlushWink

Now back to the Breton hunt again...!

MarshaBrady · 10/02/2013 23:09

Excellent!! Grin

McNally ? the C+P cable knit is gorgeous ? Brora have a lovely cotton version in their latest catalogue ? less ££

Ginger ? the C&P sale is dangerous! I didn?t get anything but was sorely tempted ? you got a good deal on those skirts

Amber ? fashion fairy is a great idea

Great shopping Topaz really like the leather jacket. I will have to try a Bella dress given how many of you rate it

Well done on Helmut Lang cardi novice and QueenBooBread for finding it

My contribution to Shop?s Breton hunt

Think I have caught up now Smile.

BrandyAlexander · 10/02/2013 23:29

Thanks MarshaGrin

Shop, you did start off looking at navy Breton, I thin. Is this commes des garçons any good?

I looked at the Bella and definitely falls in the beautiful but I would look horrid in it category! The benefit of age is definitely the ability to admire from afarGrin

BrandyAlexander · 10/02/2013 23:33

Oooh Shop if the commes des garçon one takes your fancy they do it in red! red Breton

QueenBOObread · 11/02/2013 00:06

Hurray Novice, that's great news. The way I see it, you've turned a $5 profit?

Shop I think we have the same Bella. She looks great with a pale grey belt.

I could do with some jeans advice. Specifically white jeans, which I've never owned before. Annoyingly I tried on the perfect pair in Liberty in 2011 but we were TTC and I did a deal with myself that I'd POAS before buying anything with a waistband.

Needless to say, I was pregnant and of course I can't remember the brand of the jeans I loved. Gah, should have bought them anyway.

What I need is something pretty high-waisted, completely opaque (can't be doing with my knicks on display) but with a bit of stretch. And which will make me look a size smaller

Does anyone have any tried and tested to fit the bill?

shopafrolic · 11/02/2013 07:40

I actually love you all for your efforts on the Breton front. Someone else linked to the SeaSalt one on another thread too Liberty and I might actually try that as it is a) cheaper! And b) cream rather than white based. I also like the CdG one thanks Novice and I'm so pleased you got your cardigan! I am still trying to track down Amber's RL one in a medium though if anyone spots it.
Great sourcing QueenBoo! You should become Amber's deputy fairy!

AmberNectarine · 11/02/2013 09:09

Yes if anyone can answer Queen's white jean questions if be very interested in the answers too!

Thanks for all your support on the blog ladies. A new feature, the Monday morning lust list has just gone up if anyone is interested... :)

MarshaBrady · 11/02/2013 09:12

Queen I'm going to try MiH as they typically have thicker denim. But cropped probably isn't what you're after. Will have a look around.

OP posts:
MarshaBrady · 11/02/2013 09:17

Amber love it! Love the reformatting too, great stuff.

OP posts:
noddyholder · 11/02/2013 09:20

That comme de garçon is not a Breton it looks like a baby's top. Must do better

QueenBOObread · 11/02/2013 09:21

Actually cropped is probably better as I'm only 5ft 1. And a bit.

So do report back, please!
