there's nowt wrong with supermarket stuff

after going to gap, next, M&S and numerous posh jeans shops, the pair of jeans that fit me the best was the £9 value pair from Tescos

It's getting warmer now - you could probably manage in sandals from here onwards

Cappucino · 03/05/2006 09:56

sandals!!!

I'm sorry I'm not a summer person. I'm still wearing my gloves

oliveoil · 03/05/2006 09:58

I have sandals on a the moment

foxinsocks · 03/05/2006 10:03

you must have sweaty feet cappucino Wink

Cappucino · 03/05/2006 10:04

if only... they never get warm enough to sweat

Sad
foxinsocks · 03/05/2006 10:13

not even in mid-summer? poor you

there are some quite nice trainers around - I even saw some good ones in Clarks this year

schneebly · 03/05/2006 10:15

I like them but never pay more than £20 for shoes - always sale items!

Feistybird · 03/05/2006 10:15

god no, trainers with bling.

Bozza · 03/05/2006 10:27

I like those Dunlop ones you linked to olive. Unfortunately my friend has bought the green ones. Wonder if I could get away with getting the chocolate ones. Reasonable price too. But couldn't order shoes online due to odd shaped feet. So what shall I do?

foxinsocks · 03/05/2006 10:31

there's a store locator on there if you want to check if you have a store near to you

Do you have enough stuff to wear with chocolate shoes?

Frenchgirl · 03/05/2006 10:31

oliveoil I like them, to be worn with smartish trousers though, not jeans
I have rocket dogs black pumps, love them

Bozza · 03/05/2006 10:33

Well I was just thinking of wearing them with jeans really. Do you think I would be better with white/green ones?

Ledodgyherring · 03/05/2006 10:33

I love them.

foxinsocks · 03/05/2006 10:37

I think the brown ones are nicer, I just personally don't have much they would go with (though I think they would look good with jeans).

Bozza · 03/05/2006 10:38

Will have to go on the store locater then....

Nbg · 03/05/2006 10:40

I like them Oliveoil. Like the Dunlop ones too.

What do you think to \link{http://www.asos.com/Rocketdog-Cherry-Print-Pump/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=89725&cid=1433\these?} I'm mulling them over.

Seen some gorgeous Evisu ones on the Schuh site too.

oliveoil · 03/05/2006 10:40

I had a pair of the original green flash when I was about 12, lol.

I love trainers and live in them. Can't wear heels, they make me stagger about.

What is odd about your feet Bozza?

OP posts:
oliveoil · 03/05/2006 10:41

love those Nbg, very very nice

you girls & your labels, tut.

are you serious about buying those olive? really?

Bozza · 03/05/2006 10:47

Just wide and high olive. Actually trainers are generally not too bad. I struggle with things like ballet pumps because they are too low across the top.

You've really got me going now because I have been on the Schuh website looking at the Dunlops on there. I like the Dunlop Rainbow Lace but not sure. I don't think I can do links to the page on Schuh, can I?

Nbg · 03/05/2006 10:48

What size are you Olive?

I bought a pair of the Dunlop ones but they were mostly white with pink trims and being a size 7 I thought they looked huge so only wore them once.

bundle · 03/05/2006 10:48

speaking of trainers, I'm after something green & pink. does such a thing exist? nothing with swarovski crystals or graffiti though, just trainers, pref more green than pink.

oliveoil · 03/05/2006 10:49

Bundle - the first ones? They are being delivered tomorrow.

They will look fabulous with my cropped jeans and a white vest top in the summer.

No schuh links don't work.
