I need these in my life. Any ideas where I could get them a a lower price?

AmberNectarine · 28/05/2013 15:33

Any Whistles Lena jacket owners here? Is it really good?

QueenCadbury · 28/05/2013 15:38

novice you deffo have the best shoes. I really don't like those manolos or givenchy ones.

Have just taken dd1 to get her hair trimmed. I had never been to this particular salon before and I was Shock at all the hairdressers. They all had top knots but it obviously wasn't their own hair- it was those awful hair pieces that look really plasticky and ratty. I may be coming across as as a complete snob but surely as a hairdresser you should showcase decent hair yourself Confused

Drywhiteplease · 28/05/2013 15:39

Novice I prefer the Atwood, I think they have more oomph, edgier somehow although I wasn't able to see the Givenchy ones.

Amber yes, I suppose you're right, I'm pretty tidy ( incidentally a manic cleaner too....but don't judge me by that Grin).... Someone described Styleguile as " buttoned up" and I really could relate to that. I have to curb my matchy matchy inclinations .

Drywhiteplease · 28/05/2013 15:43

Oh and Novice I am constantly amazed at how independent little kids are. I've worked with some real littlies and sometimes they look so young, babies but they're fine. So glad things have settled down for you.

Drywhiteplease · 28/05/2013 15:44

And QueenC great hair cut, it looks v sleek and thick.glad DH likes it too

LinusDKD · 28/05/2013 18:05

jumpsuit

Very £££ buy I had to think of Marsha and her long legs when I saw this.

foxysocks · 28/05/2013 18:16

hi everyone, missed LOADS and no time to check links or pics but wanted to say thanks for all the tan sandals advice esp shop and amber - am pondering as they would get no use if weather stays so grim!

marsha did you keep your wang skirt? the grey is here and LOVELY, kind of metallicy silver so great for evening but also looks cool with slouchy tee and vejas for daytime. DH big fan, has requested I wear out for dinner tonight.

wang muscle tee also staying so shop and I are twinnies again!

unfortunately the CE jeans are no good, they are a touch big (?!?!) and there's a weird pouch of extra material under the crotch which is tres unattractive.

are the jimmy jimmy's really huge, linus and amber and shop and anyone else? if I'm a 25 in j brand will the 25s be ok or would a 24 be better? thank you!!

off to have a quick shower and pop some prosecco with my lovely husband Smile dinner not for ages so had better go slowly, have only eaten a bowl of berries today whoops.

shopafrolic · 28/05/2013 18:29

Aaaaw Foxy I like having a twin!
I wear a 30 in J Brands, 29 in Goldsign Lure (just), 30 in James and bought the 30 in the Jimmy Jimmys, they fit me nicely, slightly loose but not so they hang low on the hips, it just makes them look a little more boyfriendish (real word?). Don't think I could have got into a 29 but I know Amber says size down.......

LinusDKD · 28/05/2013 18:37

dry I had a pedicure and a bikini wax before both births! Not very tidy though, on the contrary.

foxy the 30 is actually a bit too tight on me but it was the largest size they had on Shopbop. I am a 31 in James and a 30 in my other Paige jeans and my Hudsons but they both have x% elasthane in them.

I love them so much though, that is is spurring me on to lose some weight so they fit perfectly.

Enjoy your anniversary dinner tonight!

shopafrolic · 28/05/2013 18:41

Linus how much did you pay for them in the end out of interest?

LinusDKD · 28/05/2013 18:55

I paid $ 150.44 which included an import fees deposit of $ 11.14.

santamarianovella · 28/05/2013 19:02

i bought the james foxy very similar to jimmys,they are big i ordered 25 instead of 26 and they are ok

AmberNectarine · 28/05/2013 19:17

Maybe they are true to size to be fair, as I have a 28 and am a 27 pretty much everywhere else. I asked for 28s in all the jeans I tried from the Dressing Room as I had the fear about having to go back and say they were too small!

shopafrolic · 28/05/2013 19:17

Bargain.
Can Matches shoppers share their wisdom please? if an item is showing as New Season now, is it likely to end up in the sale? And if so, when is the sale usually?
TIA

santamarianovella · 28/05/2013 19:22

amber i downsized based on your report! but they were ok very similar to CU,

santamarianovella · 28/05/2013 19:23

no shop these are AW stuff,i cant find one single flat i like in my size!

santamarianovella · 28/05/2013 19:34

i had a look through my emails and it says 12th june,shop,

shopafrolic · 28/05/2013 19:58

Thanks Santa it's these I'm after
www.matchesfashion.com/product/159932
I'm guessing they won't reduce them.......

santamarianovella · 28/05/2013 20:27

shop there is a croft cargo at shopbop but its almost half the price the matches one are these the one your after? Or is the color a bit different ?

shopafrolic · 28/05/2013 20:31

Wow! Colour looks fit Santa but they look baggier do you think? Longer in the crotch? Or is it just the model...?

shopafrolic · 28/05/2013 20:33

And I think they're shorter in the leg? That's a great price though.... What do people think? Are they the same?

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 28/05/2013 20:51

MrsR and Anni I've heard R&B have opened at Bicester. I was there briefly on Mon but I didn't see it (but it was crazy busy). I'm going back tomorrow on the way home, so I'll let you know. DH informs me my boots have arrived so I'm looking forward to trying them on. On annoying iPhone now, so I'll report tomorrow when home. Bonsoir!

santamarianovella · 28/05/2013 21:05

think its the styling.at matches it more tailored and the model is wearing her true size,while at SB,its styled in a very boho way ,cuffed and baggy .but i could be wrong!

MarshaBrady · 28/05/2013 21:08

MrsR and Anni those Rag&Bone boots looks great. The Danish wellies are really cute!

QueenC love your haircut.

Novice, you are included in the gorgeous list too! and I love the Atwood ones the most. Simple and a great shape. You're going to be fabulous.

Linus that is gorgeous, thank you! What a shame it's still quite a lot even on sale.

Foxy I think I really did want the grey one after all. I sent it back. And I thought I should be tough on it as already have a green one I really like. I bet the grey one looks amazing on you.

Shop and Santa I think they are the same! The fabric composition is the same and the colour even looks different again in the videos.
