foxy what colour were they???

anni if you but the jacket on your credit card can you not then pay it off next month?

pickledsiblings · 12/04/2013 14:03

foxy, you can't beat TS white Jamies, if they're good enough for Emmanuelle Alt and all that.

Decameron · 12/04/2013 14:15

Foxy, MiH?

Anni, maybe Atterley Rd will get it in stock? I have ordered. Couldn't wait and have not spent a penny in April (mostly because I was away for a week of it!).

Annianni · 12/04/2013 14:16

I don't have any credit cards QueenC, I got rid of mine a few years ago.

I'm going to list loads on ebay.
If I asked dh, he'd pay for it. But I still find it hard asking him for money... especially because we're in the middle of doing the house, which is ££££.
And I don't want to touch the savings.

Very occasionally I actually miss being at work and having more money :o

Annianni · 12/04/2013 14:17

Thanks Decam, i'd already checked AR.

foxysocks · 12/04/2013 14:19

they were a yellowy parchment colour queenc. totally not what i wanted, nor how they looked on the website! will post em back today.

yes have seen the MiH on donna ida decam, they look great but too much £££ FP pour moi

are they the ones EA wears, pickled? i did not know that. I love her look in this pin pinterest.com/pin/250231323018171623/

pickledsiblings · 12/04/2013 14:31

She has definitely said she wears Topshop jeans foxy, possibly Baxters though rather than Jamies. Jamies are a similar fit to J Brands, so not low rise. I think the Baxters are more low rise if that's what you are after. Someone like Amber will probably be better informed about these things than I am...

That is a great look though...I'm sure you could emulate it once you find the right white jeans...

Annianni · 12/04/2013 14:33

My size has sold out already
John Lewis don't have it in stock.

I might have to go to an actual shop to get one Sad

Hopefully · 12/04/2013 14:34

Oooh, I really like this ring. I only have one other ring apart from engagement/wedding rings, a pucci one which is a bit big for work really (but I wear it anyway because I love it so).

Hopefully · 12/04/2013 14:37

I have Baxters, they are v low rise and give me an annoying muffin top. I do really like them when I am less blobby than i currently am though.

MarshaBrady · 12/04/2013 14:47

Foxy they are a mid colour, I wasn't that sold on it either. The MiH are really off-white (vanilla, no where near white) or white Wel ll I think haven't tried the latter. Actually I was totally distracted with those Goldsigns, what with having paid three times, so £450 and the liquidation thing £600 for one pair then, it was like shopping hell Hmm.

Ok need to read propos.

MarshaBrady · 12/04/2013 14:48

Anni not yet! Need a date, really wish I could find out if there is a pa as the hardest thing is getting that in the diary as they are all so busy. No rec cons to do the badgering for me.

MrsRadicchio · 12/04/2013 14:51

Apologies for not being with it but was it the goldsign jeans? That's a good idea, inciting distance selling regs. I have lost £££ in postage over the years.

Meant to saw I've found j crew good.

Liberty, really old news but I love that dress too. Think it is pretty classic and not too "young".

Amber, not so sure on the boots though I do like the marant ones anni linked to.

Shop, sounds like a great night, what lovely friends you have.

Congratulations to your dh, onelittlelady, that must be a relief. Good luck to mr shop too.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 12/04/2013 14:53

Although I am having a white jeans moment pickled and EA can do no wrong, I look at those Jamies and just think 'Camel Toe'...

MrsRadicchio · 12/04/2013 14:57

Oh I meant to say I'm keen on a McQueen skull ring too hopefully. Love that pucci ring too, where did you get it? Is it antique?

AmberNectarine · 12/04/2013 15:06

I wear Jamie's and really rate them. EA wears Baxters which I don't get on with because they are so low rise.

libertychick · 12/04/2013 15:14

Shop great tip on eyeliner. Cos sizing is all over the place. On top I am a 10/12 - (usually a 10 in jackets, small in Gap, bra size 32D or 34c depending on style) and I'm 12/14 on the bottom (30 in 7FAM, 10/12 in Gap). On the Cos jersey dress the medium was the best fit but it's a fitted style so if I was buying a looser or more A-line dress I would probably order a small. I went for the medium in the linen jumper - small was ok but I wanted a more slouchy fit and I bought the t-shirt in a small - once again though it came down to fit and I prefer that style of t-shirt to be more fitted. HTH

How annoying with the jeans Foxy.

Belsize I thought sunnies or jewellery too or if you can add a bit to it how about Lily and Lionel scarf?

Anni I would love the Whistles jacket in navy but sadly I am spent out for this month too - there will be other lovely ones is what I tell myself when this happens!

MarshaBrady · 12/04/2013 15:14

Well done to your dh OneLittle and sending good vibes to your dh Shop. Your friends sound really lovely.

Anni I have that Acne scarf, it's bright. I should wear it more now. Too much with green coat. Didn't realise it was in the sale, maybe they've added more stuff.

Hopefully · 12/04/2013 15:26

MrsR Pucci ring was from NAP last year. I really like it, it feels very 'me'. It was insanely expensive (for a glass ring), but was last one left in last size, so I didn't dare wait for the sales! Am quite tempted by the McQueen one, but wondering if it's a bit pretty for me (am guessing not, what with the skull and all, but I don't normally do anything remotely girly!)

Annianni · 12/04/2013 15:35

Thanks Liberty
I've emailed whistles customer services and asked.
I could always try the smaller size because there's a bit of room in my grey one.

Annianni · 12/04/2013 15:37

Lovely rings Hopefully

foxysocks · 12/04/2013 20:23

bwahahaha I am back IN the game.

none of the trainers fit! apart from these pinterest.com/pin/250231323018383263/ which i do like but not sure I almost £50 like.

I am not having a good shopping day but at least I have more money in the bank.

foxysocks · 12/04/2013 20:24

blah link pinterest.com/pin/250231323018383263/

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 12/04/2013 21:30

I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you

Annianni · 12/04/2013 21:39

Oh no Foxy... so which trainers are next on your list?
I did like the navy NB's that were on the Grazia list.

I emailed Whistles customer services this afternoon about the navy lena jacket, and they replied within an hour, saying that they'd sent a batch of jackets out to stores and that's why they had gone out of stock.
So they have put one on hold for me and will post it from the store, to me :o

Which is fab... but i'd ordered the smaller size in the meantime online.
But at least I can compare the sizes :o

My bowies and beas sold on ebay this evening, for more than I paid for them, so i'm very happy!
