Hi from sunny but freezing Cornwall everyone! Have had a lovely afternoon on the beach wearing most of the sweaters I own all at once, playing football and digging holes with DC's and their cousins to keep warm. People watching were probably impressed at how quickly i moved for such a chunky lass 
. At least I think I burned a few calories to make up for the Easter chocolate and the chips stolen from ds1 this evening.
It has taken me a while to catch up as the thread is moving as rapidly as usual 
. Novice I am so happy for you about your necklace, sweet relief. Was also imagining your DH this morning. Re your being impressed by s/s lists, what about foxy with a/w 
list, or do you just mean the never ending a/w we are in rather than 2013/14 foxy
Hi hopefully, nice to see you here again. Re alternatives to me&em dresses, I would look at Velvet (Graham & Spencer), Baujken, Charli and if you want a treat, Anglomania.
foxy I love that PP look but not one I could ever pull off unfortunately. Try not to get too stressed about the eBay skirt by the way, I have had two experiences recently where disputes have been raised, one where I was a buyer from blatant rip off merchant, one where I sold an item that buyer claimed was fake (it wasn't, of course). I got my money back and so did my buyer so you should at least get your £30 back at worst (shame about the skirt though 
).
lefreak let us know how you get on with the Emma Hardie stuff. EH herself was in spaceNK the other day when I popped in, giving free facials. Unfortunately I didn't have time to get one but the lady who just had seemed impressed.
I am tempted by the NB trainers too, think they look great, but not sure how well they would really work with my wardrobe/look...perhaps supergas a more sensible choice. Speaking of my summer wardrobe I tried to pin some more of it yesterday, which made me realise how old most of it is . Definitely needs an injection of a few nice things. I ordered some bits from MW to arrive here tomorrow, will link separately as I don't want to lose all my typing on stupid ipad, but quite excited about them. I am also still thinking about the duffy colour block sweater, its definitely me but the full price spend on top of what I've bought already this year is making me hesitate. How long til sales (especially DonaIda) do you all reckon 
?
I could do with some recommendations for long sleeved t's to put under loose short sleeved sweaters...have American Vintage fine knit one but the sleeves go really baggy and wrinkly if pushed up. Ideas anyone?
