I look just like
this!!!Wink........now I really want those jeans, absolutely the look I LOVE!!!!!

QueenBOObread · 28/02/2013 16:25

Sad Amber - but if it's any consolation, a bit of the brasswork on the front of my Sophie Hulme bag has dropped off in the last couple of days so I'm not completely convinced about workmanship...

AmberNectarine · 28/02/2013 16:31

That is a slight consolation QueenBoo. To be honest I'm not sure either of them are 'the one'.

Hi everyone - welcome delurkers, please stay!

Popped in to Allsaints this afternoon and swapped the T I bought last week..one of these in navy - Anni, could these suit you? They feel lovely and are a great cut for a white linen one that doesn't seem to be on the website but is a great basic.

Ordered the white sand Goldsigns from Austique, nice reduction at £140 but still killing me slightly that Anna has them at £60 in size 25 and 24 if anyone tiny is interested....I may go in and see if I can squeeze into the 25's but I'm not too hopeful, the 26's I tried a few weeks ago were perfect.

I am wearing my new J Brands and they feel sooo lovely, very pleased with them.

shopafrolic · 28/02/2013 17:14

Whistles have emailed to say they can't fulfil my order of
this
Which I ordered with the discount code. So I've had to order it full price from Atterley Rd. At least delivery and returns is free there!

Need to catch up and look at links, but hi Grumpy and Winefairy, stay!

Don't bother with Iris & Ink, too big, thin and generally uninspiring. Decided to for acne or Phillip Lim sweater instead. Much more Spring-like.

Sleepwhenidie · 28/02/2013 18:13

Thanks for feedback on the I&I Marsha...off my pinterest board it goes Grin

LeFreakCestChic · 28/02/2013 18:17

this

and these

LeFreakCestChic · 28/02/2013 18:18

Stupid iPad posted without me. What think you of these purchases ladies?
Love the Blochs but make my feet look wide. Think they're a bit on the big side too....but really love the colour....

Sleepwhenidie · 28/02/2013 18:21

lefreak I got a pageful of yellow sweaters from first link, which on is yours? Also 6 pairs of Blochs on second link but assume you mean the red ones which I adore. I find Bloch most comfortable ballet flats I've tried.

MarshaBrady · 28/02/2013 18:21

It's ok but I already have a navy Stella M jumper which can do the trick with the orange Celine. And if doesn't pass the double or upgrade rule back it goes.

And I think we crashed Austique's system with the order at the same time!

MarshaBrady · 28/02/2013 18:47

Theweek congrats on the pistols, fate indeed! Smile

MrsR great purchases.

Anni you've got a good Tkmaxx too. Love your cross out of more Hudson skinnies.

Amber oh no, but maybe that's ok if not the one.

Drywhite go for it.

Lefreak I like the look of bloch but can't do them.

Shop my friend and I talked too long, has been ages and she had great news, and I didn't get time to look! But am going back soon.

winefairy · 28/02/2013 19:07

Drywhite Loving Gwyneth in those R&B jeans. This is Kate Bosworth in mine although despite the fact she looks a hundred times better in hers I bet she didn't pay a bargainous £37. I mean...£37! Ignores the fact they were most likely a freebie. I also think mine look better turned up slightly. You're welcome to steal that tip, Kate, if you are reading Grin

shop That's a shame! It's gorgeous. I used the discount to order this jersey blazer as I am a total jacket addict and most of my others are patterned like this Isabel Marant that I lived in last summer.

anni Wore all my Gigi's to death last year and was overjoyed to win a pair on eBay last week for £6.50. Unworn. Was ridiculously pleased.

I seem to be all about the bargains at the moment Blush

And thanks to all those who encouraged me to stay unlurked although you may live to regret that Grin

shopafrolic · 28/02/2013 19:19

winefairy your whistles link goes to a whole page of jackets. If you mean the cobalt jersey then I saw that in store (along with the black version) and it is lovely. I bought a cream one last year which'm looking forward to wearing this Spring.
Anni please TKMaxx is coming up trumps for you. Perhaps I need to try AGAIN!!
Amber liked your blog with you and the neon Zatchel. I Collonilled my cream one today and think I made the right choice for more conservative me! Hope you get more sleep soon!
Marsha catching up is much more important than doing a shoe search for me!! No probs all, glad you had fun. If you do spot them another time let me know - my London trips are only every two months or so and I'm grateful for the scouts!
Lots of tales from you all of success at the Donna Ida store, perhaps I'd better go there on my next trip.....

Ah shop would love to return your fashion wand-ness. I thought 3 hours would be enough but we talked right up to line and had to leg it! But might go back on weekend for proper look.

winefairy · 28/02/2013 19:48

shop Drat. Whistles always does that to me. It is the cobalt jersey but in grey.

foxysocks · 28/02/2013 19:51

just popping in super quickly to do a fashion fairy moment, marsha I am about to mail you

my ash trainers arrived and I'm disappointed :-(. the colour isn't what I was expecting at all. they were FP (albeit with a code) so I have time to decide and in true S&B spirit, if they aren't perfect they will go back. but ARGH to SP and their no free returns, it's a true PITA when online shopping

MarshaBrady · 28/02/2013 19:58

Ooh Foxy exciting! Grin I agree on SP, I sent a parcel back today, huge probably cheaper to courier than track the post.

lol Winefairy exactly. Love those Rag&Bone capris, might rival the MiH Paris!

Shop that's a shame about the Whistles discount.

foxysocks · 28/02/2013 20:01

have you got it marsha? am not going to pin my new purchase till i know whether you want too!

shop if you go to donna ida I wouldn't buy unless you are sure can't get cheaper elsewhere. I saved £100 per pair by going through shopbop instead.

MarshaBrady · 28/02/2013 20:04

Foxy you are a star! I am on the case Smile. Thankfully the dc are asleep can concentrate.

MarshaBrady · 28/02/2013 20:16

Foxy was truly amazing and found Shop's American Vintage orange that I coveted so much. Just a little spend tonight, plus further discount so nothing like the other nights, so that's ok. Also am sending back I&I so this is a comparative bargain.

ps shop have inundated you with pms soz. But I went for it in the end, if I don't want it am sure I can pass it on.

foxysocks · 28/02/2013 20:19

HURRAH!

i almost PMed shop too to ask about the fit. if mine is too big it's yours to have first refusal on, marsha.

right that's enough excitement for one night, am off to read in bed

shopafrolic · 28/02/2013 20:23

Am back now!! Well done foxy you win today's style fairy crown. Top tip about DI too. I'll get lots of advice and then leave to " have a think ".
Marsha if we do ever meet we'll have to not wear the AV!!
That is a great jacket winefairy

shopafrolic · 28/02/2013 20:23

Ha ha! You bought it too foxy??

OP posts:
shopafrolic · 28/02/2013 20:25

Marsha for that price I'll have it off you if you don't like it size wise! Don't send it back without PMing. X
