I've found the grey boots sjp is wearing in Grazia boots they looked different front on, in the photo.
They would look vaguely orthopedic on me... so that's a no...

I did find these for Amber they don't look a million miles away from the yee haw boots.
So I say get them ordered Amber :o

Glad you had a good night Shop.
I've not hooped for a couple of days, because i kicked a bedside table earlier in the week and have bruised my little toe. It's swollen and very sore. I've struggled getting shoes on since.
And i've been scared of the hoop landing on it.

However... ds1 is a natural and can keep it up for ages, even though it's a weighted one. And dsd can do it by the merest flick of her hips.
Whereas I have to put slightly more effort in.

I've ordered
Jigsaw bag 1
and Jigsaw bag 2 to see what they're like.
If I keep one, or both, then that's me done for this month.
And i'll resume the grey boot search next month and also look for new skinny jeans. But i'd also like a new watch... i'd better get ebaying again then :o

Any news on your 2nd meeting Marsha?

Annianni · 12/04/2013 10:26

I've found things in Gap a bit hit and miss lately Foxy
The neon parka and short trench are nicely made, but the shrunken blazer wasn't.

Annianni · 12/04/2013 10:27

Belsize, what about jewellery?
I'll have a look on matches now. Can you put anything towards the voucher?

Annianni · 12/04/2013 10:33

Sunglasses as recommended by Amber?

carrie74 · 12/04/2013 10:38

Lovely bags Anni, I'd struggle to choose between them.

Good call on sunglasses, or jewellery, or a beautiful scarf?

Annianni · 12/04/2013 10:38

I'd probably get a pair of Havaianas and some Superga

Or the blue gigi's which I ordered recently and are fab irl.
or the pink

Annianni · 12/04/2013 10:39

There's not many scarves for that price Carrie, i've just looked.
Unless there's anything in the sale section?

Annianni · 12/04/2013 10:43

Acne scarf

Annianni · 12/04/2013 10:44

Tiger shoes

Annianni · 12/04/2013 10:46

Dvf sunglasses

Sorry, have to go now:)

Annianni · 12/04/2013 10:47

Dvf sunglasses

Sorry but i've got to go now :)

Annianni · 12/04/2013 10:52

Sorry about the double posts :o

AmberNectarine · 12/04/2013 10:54

I'd get the sunnies or maybe another Helmut tee. Or half a pair of Charles Philip flats, or half a Balenciaga wrap bracelet....

shopafrolic · 12/04/2013 11:03

Welcome Belsize - stick around - it's fun here! I'd get sunnies (then no issues re: sizing later!) My feet changed sizes too......
Great suggestions Anni - ouch for the toe! Let me know if Hula Hooping works. I tried it when I was in my twenties - but got bored v quickly (story of my life)

hi belsize. I'd get a tee tbh, which prob doesn't help you much. I love havianas and they are super comfortable, those plus superga would be a very sensible move i think. I do like gigis but wouldn't pay the matches prices for them.

anni i like that slouch cross body bag, if it was sub £50 i'd be tempted too.

foxysocks · 12/04/2013 11:44

have ordered this. £24 all in from J Crew, and they now do free returns from the UK if there are any problems. have been emailing then over the last few days with my many qus and the CS could not have been better. BIG thumbs up.

pinterest.com/pin/250231323018389031/

so that means with yellow tee + white jeans + NB trainers = me out of the shopping game for April! VERY happy with the purchases though, presuming it all fits ok Grin

shopafrolic · 12/04/2013 13:15

Woo hoo! Good shopping foxy

pickledsiblings · 12/04/2013 13:17

thanks for the tip off about J Crew doing free returns foxy, I'm off for a peruse - love the colour of that t btw

Amber. step away from the white boots, they are saying WAG to me.

QC, great that you've found a travelling buddy, hope the colour session goes well.

Have you found anything yet Belsize?

QueenCadbury · 12/04/2013 13:18

belsize I can't find a huge amount on there that I'd buy for that price but yes, you may as well use it and resell on. Do supergra go for a good price on eBay?

pickledsiblings · 12/04/2013 13:23

Belsize, how about this Kenzo t? It says coming soon but I'm sure you could call and ask about being able to use the vouchers for it.

Annianni · 12/04/2013 13:25

Nice tee Foxy

I need help...
The Whistles leni jacket that I have in grey (and love) is now available in navy. And a navy jacket is on my list.
But I can't afford to pay full price this month (i don't want to link it on here either) :o

Does any other magazine do discount for there?
I can't imagine Grazia doing another this soon.

Any suggestions?
I need it...

I know I could send the Jigsaw bags straight back if I don't like them.
But if they're nice, then i'm stuck.

Annianni · 12/04/2013 13:26

Just had a thought Belsize, could you buy a gift voucher with it, to give yourself more time?

Decameron · 12/04/2013 13:41

Onelittlelady, great news on your DH's job.

Belsize, I'd get the Gigis, I bought a pair recently . Now just need some sun so I can wear them. Congratulations on your pregnancy.

Anni, I am definitely getting that Whistles navy jacket, love it in black, thanks for the heads up!

I like cowboy boots. Amber, not sure about the white personally but you can make it work.

Liberty, a different outfit every day sounds like a better plan to me.

foxysocks · 12/04/2013 13:47

well I spoke to soon. jeans arrived and aren't even white! so they are going back, have sent an email to let them know am cancelling whole order as per distance selling regs so I should get outbound postage (£8!!!) back too.

so, slightly cropped white jeans. anyone seen any? rofl.

anni I would wait until the bags arrive and then decide whether you want the jacket or bag more.
