I love any excuse for a Pinterest search. If you lookforvstriped blazer coraltoes there's a few ideas. I like it with spots

Still waiting for my zatchels bags. Hoping the cobalt won't be too bright.

Must check those next shoes drywhite and hope they have navy. R&b out of my budget and would also get totally ruined walking 2 miles a day on the school run (if we ever get any weather to get out of boots that is )

QueenCadbury · 27/02/2013 16:58

I have many evenings that slip away on Pinterest!

Hi ladies, sorry not been around much lately, too much going on in RL. So good the thread is back up to speed/expenditure Grin.

Shop good work on the bretons, very pleased my M Dutti rec was a keeper and great that the RL one lovely also. Sorry the fluoro satchel not for you. If you haven't already been down the post office in your sunglasses to get rid of it, I'd love to buy it from you. Please pm me if you're interested.

Marsha what is the verdict on the Paris? Mine do the flappy ankle thing a bit (the red ones more than the other colours Confused) but when I've got flat pumps/sandals on I don't mind it.

Hi to everyone else, I will try and have a read back through and look at links later.

Children's tea is calling....

AmberNectarine · 27/02/2013 17:30

Funny you should say that shop, I love mine. The colour is brilliant!

shopafrolic · 27/02/2013 17:38

Oh bugger Blond I took it at half four!!!!! Thought you'd love it Amber but you have youth on your side!! Grin

amber thanks for leather protect link, i will get some for my new bag. my mulberry needs some restoration i think, it's ten years old and has been bashed around beyond belief. also has some water marks that needs attention (children's leaky beakers etc). i don't know how to fix it, really, or if it's even possible

shop that RL breton is LOVELY but more than I have to spend. I also wonder if it's a bit too structured for me? am more of a slouchy top kinda girl, as that lends itself to my very, erm, non-glam lifestyle. that was the reason i initially discounted the MD as well, although looking at it again online i do like it. maybe in the sales

marsha so glad you like both, i do too, and i actually think they do different jobs. will ponder. am a bit scared after checking my CC statement, although have a ton of ebay stuff ending at the weekend which should make a dint in it, and am rallying for a housekeeping rise from DH.... don't like my chances as we are hoping to do a kitchen extension this year but there's no harm in asking!

foxysocks · 27/02/2013 17:57

am also LOVING the white jeans links. might keep an eye out for white goldsigns as i have barely taken my dark ones off since they arrived last week. i'm a bit of a weird size, do goldsigns tend to pop up in sales??

shopafrolic · 27/02/2013 18:09

Hey Foxy if you trawl back to much earlier in this thread (or possibly the previous edition) there were loads of slouchier bretons linked and some very reasonably £££ - it was quite a quest with lots of contributors!! :)

Pleeeease ladies. Can anyone track these down anywhere for me?

I've fallen in love and can't find them anywhere.

OP posts:
MarshaBrady · 27/02/2013 20:14

Oh Shop I know, where are they?! They are lovely.

Foxy they do, they do (re Bretons).

Blond going for a re-try, swear they have more material than the ones I have Confused. Will do another go.

shopafrolic · 27/02/2013 20:18

What's with EBay at the moment, I keep getting people bidding and then not paying. V annoying. And doesn't help my fashion fund!
Where's the fashion fairy when you need her? Amber do you fancy working your magic on the Chloe flats?

MarshaBrady · 27/02/2013 20:20

Carrie they look good, if they could do a off-white vanilla version.

Drywhite congrats on the R&Bs! they are gorgeous. and lol at the pirate Grin

Coral great stripey blazer and DvF jumper, and love it with the dots a la Wendy!

MarshaBrady · 27/02/2013 20:29

And my Iris & Ink turned up at 3.38 grr. They are usually here before 3.00.

MarshaBrady · 27/02/2013 20:35

Maybe these were they, the holy grail I mean Goldsign off white. But all gone, sob.

shopafrolic · 27/02/2013 20:36

Sorry i've missed loads of links. Anni well shopped! Coral I love the blazer and that sweater is fab, and probably the only way I could wear neon. Great detail!
Boo that you missed the sweater Marsha
I'm going to have to ask my Dutch SIL if she can find the Chloe's!

OP posts:
shopafrolic · 27/02/2013 20:37

foxysocks · 27/02/2013 20:51
