I do really want the orange, but can't find anywhere in my size for cheap enough to warrant. Figure at least I can try the yellows on and check sizing!

Hopefully · 30/04/2013 17:14

Am so perplexed by Sam Edelman sizing - they reckon an 8 is either a US10 or US11, but also that a US10 is a size 40. Sigh.

shopafrolic · 30/04/2013 17:21

Mmmm. I just saw that too. V confusing.

Let me know if the ASOS ones don't work out for you. Glad the neon green polish ticked the boxes for you!

Is so confusing. Will be peeved if US10 turns out to be right, as I could have Outnetted this morning.

just send him to j.crew shop!ohh and ask him to get you the madewell leopard flats!

Drywhiteplease · 30/04/2013 18:20

shop I love the Levi's dress, great colour, get some Johnsons on your legs and it will look fab!

Drywhiteplease · 30/04/2013 18:28

I've just been handed down(up?) some black converse trainers from DD Grin, I'm going to copy
this but with red blazer or Chanelesque cheapo......

shopafrolic · 30/04/2013 18:29

My first thought when you said that Dry was "Babywipes? Why would I put babywipes on my legs?"

I wear a 39/6.5 usually, and my Sam Edelmans are a US size 9, but I'd say they're cut slightly on the smaller side.

I bought the China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy nail varnish after seeing it on the All Worn Out blog, and it's a fantastic bright neon coral. Unfortunately, I made a right mess on my toenails with it, but it looks fabulous on my 7YO daughter's toes lol!

Hopefully, they look great!!

Banana Republic order arrived, trousers perfect for work, and the ballet flats? FANTASTIC! Very comfy, and a great basic. The Jones nude ones arrived today too, and I love them, but they're slightly uncomfortable, and seeing as they're elasticised, I'm going to change for the next size up I think. They're a great staple. V relieved that I've got some more flats sorted though.

May also have [ahem] ordered these today too. I've been eyeing them up for a while, and with a 20% off code, I thought I'd give them a try. Wsh they were real leather, not patent though, so they may be going back Boden pointy flats

shopafrolic · 30/04/2013 18:43

Right so there is a Madewell in San Francisco which is where DH will be. So am now going to scour their website and see what's what.....

Oh yes do it Shop and let us know what it's all like. Fab!

BrandyAlexander · 30/04/2013 19:07

shop the Westfield shopping centre is huge but also compact. It's where all the major shops are so I would send your dh there with a listGrin. It opens late too and has some decent eateries for sustenance.

foxysocks · 30/04/2013 19:11

Oh yes madewell! Pointy leopard flats, chambray boyfriend shirt. Also j crew tees!

Carrie let me know what they are like? am also put off a bit by the patent but like the shape and colour

shopafrolic · 30/04/2013 19:23

Oh yes - who bought J Crew tees? What's the sizing like please?
Thanks for the tip Novice he's not looking impressed at the thought of solo shopping!

OP posts:
MarshaBrady · 30/04/2013 19:30

Me! Big I think. The M is big.

MarshaBrady · 30/04/2013 19:31

Foxy how was your neon one, was it big for the size or true to size?

shopafrolic · 30/04/2013 19:32

Is that big in comparison to you Marsha :) or would it fit a 12 on top?

OP posts:
Drywhiteplease · 30/04/2013 19:32

Grin at Shop!!!!!!!

MarshaBrady · 30/04/2013 19:33

Sorry just realised that was a totally crappy answer! It is big for me. So I'd say should be fine for a 12. I am pretty um small boob-wise.

shopafrolic · 30/04/2013 19:41

I just have an impression that Marsha is tiny, fabulous and super leggy Grin and I am absolutely none of those

OP posts:
MarshaBrady · 30/04/2013 19:43

No nono nonono I have an accent and drink too much. You'll be fine Grin

Hopefully · 30/04/2013 19:45

Shop I'm afraid she is. Avoid sitting near her if you are remotely paranoid about your thighs.

Carrie I'm glad your order of workie basics was good - always essential but dull.

I am resisting the urge to parade around in my terrifyingly neon shoes. Between that and the French Connection trousers yesterday DH is starting to look alternatingly Hmm and Grin at me...

Annianni · 30/04/2013 19:51

Fab shopping for MrShop :o
There's a lovely Madewell breton on my pin somewhere.
And someone's pinned a pretty bracelet today from there.

How about new jeans Shop?

Thanks Hopefully, I'll look at that one when I go to Selfridges next.

The one I'd seen was the China Glaze that Carrie's just got... so I've ordered that one.

Also ordered some (sort of) neon-ish Nike trainers, and those Asos Daley's that Grazia Shop suggested recently.

And a Maison Scotch grey and coral scarf :o
