Welcome back Novice and great shopping. Love the trousers and the Armani and am also a big fan of NARS...... The dresses are beautiful - v successful trip!

The cream jeans have arrived!! They are PERFECT
I tried them with black underwear which only shows slightly so they pass the test. They are described as Vanilla in colour, a lovely creamy off white. They stop just above my ankle (never happens with my legs, they normally crop a the shin!). They are looser than my prune pair but only at the back and i think if they are too snug I'll look bigger IYSWIM. Definite keepers! Absolute bargain.

winefairy I love the first anthro jacket you linked to. Just not sure about the sleeve length.i'm terribly fussy I'm afraid as those who helped on my Breton quest will testify......
Anni hope you like the Whistles tee!

Novice gorgeous shopping! Love the Armani and all the dresses, really lovely.

Shop so happy for you! Grin. I loved them too, so glad they are perfect!

BrandyAlexander · 01/03/2013 14:25

Oooh well done on the jeans! The Nars stuff is amazing. The eyeliner does not shift and the foundation is great. I had a makeover in the US in January (that was west coast) and the make up artist was amazing. He asked me to trust him and was well worth it. He gave me his business card and said he would be happy for me to consult him by email. I asked him to do subtle colours for a day look, so I am going back in may/June and he's going to do a glam night look. I can't wait!

shopafrolic · 01/03/2013 14:36

Yup Novice highly pigmented colour so good density and staying power. WHat a great make up artist! They don't offer that service in SPaceNK!

Envious of the US shopping extravaganza! What gorgeous things.

shop While searching for a cheaper price on the Day Birger Anthro jacket that QueenBOO and I both like, I found this which is similar but with full length sleeves.

shopafrolic · 01/03/2013 14:53

So assuming they fulfill the order I have managed to pick up this

Oh Anni the Atterley Rd cardi is lovely....but I love the MiH jeans in the pic a lot....damm could there be a 4th pair coming to me for my big jeans try on?

Drywhiteplease · 01/03/2013 16:36

Oh my good god......after seeing Amber looking lovely on her blog in some J Brand 901/910s(?) I had a little look and found these, which are on their way to add to the hoard for my "big try on"in my pathetic "quest for the perfect jean".

I blame the maths of whoever it was who said the net cost of a return was £2!

Drywhiteplease · 01/03/2013 16:37

J Brand jeans reduced
The link would help, duh!

winefairy · 01/03/2013 16:46

QueenBOO and anyone else who would be interested...Anthropologie have 15% off with the code JUSTFORMUM until 8th March or available instore on Sunday 9th if you attend a special Mother's Day promo event.

Annianni · 01/03/2013 16:49

Lovely shopping Novice

Well done with the cream jeans Shop and those jackets are nice.

Love the Day jacket Winefairy

The MiH Paris arrived and I look awful in them. I did ask DonaAna about them, back when I was a lurker. She said they were narrow in the thighs and they're definitely not the right shape for me.

Annianni · 01/03/2013 16:51

Oh, and the Hush jackets have just cost me over £9 to return... not impressed!

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 01/03/2013 17:42

Oh, Drywhite, I wasn't looking for more jeans - I could practically open a shop, but those J Brands are a bargain! Love them and reaching for the credit card...again. Still hunting for the perfect soft cotton white shirt, semi-sheer and casual (I imagine wearing it with denim cut offs). Anyone?

QueenBOObread · 01/03/2013 17:49

Winefairy thank you for that code, it's exactly what I need. And no inadvertent insult of the jacket - you are probably right! - just laughing at my inflated sense of fashion influence!

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 01/03/2013 17:51

Woohoo! Got the last pair of J Brands in 26. Thanks Drywhite!

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 01/03/2013 18:01

...And the GP cardigan from Atterley Rd, thanks to anni

Should I be worried that my order form on The Outnet pre-filled my delivery details with those of my 18-y-o DD1? She works for me - I think I may be paying her too much!

BrandyAlexander · 01/03/2013 18:43

Oh god have just discovered dressipi website from another thread. This.wont.end.well.Shock

QueenCadbury · 01/03/2013 19:10

Yet again I can't keep up with all the links and who bought what Grin

Shop I tried linking some jackets but I couldn't seem to add more than 1 link in a post and so I lost the will to live. Sorry.

Whoever asked about the zatchels bag-no, it hasn't arrived yet. Will report back when it does.

shopafrolic · 01/03/2013 19:14

Don't worry QueenC I've ordered a couple to try. Sad to as but I like Alex jones' jacket on the One Show tonight - not sure where it's from.
I frequently lose the will to live writing posts on here, usually I'm on my iPad and I lose the whole lot (and the will to live!) Grin

eeek just bought the anthracite goldsigns on my phone at friends house after a glass of wine! AND her husband is going to the states in two weeks so we compiling a shopbop order. which are the best slouchy tees, according to MNV??

MarshaBrady · 01/03/2013 19:56

Well done Foxy!

Amber is great for ts, and am sure others are too, but then remembered a blog post by Amber on the very thing here.

MarshaBrady · 01/03/2013 19:57

And great J Brands Drywhite and Grumpy.

And fab buys Shop!

AmberNectarine · 01/03/2013 20:01

Oh Dressipi annoys me, I spent ages liking stuff and it still recommends me stuff from Viyella.

AmberNectarine · 01/03/2013 20:02

And on the tee front, I am loving my Helmut one. Expensive but gorgeous, and washing well so far!
