foxy I bought a beautiful red parka from Gap in the US last christmas which doesn't appear to be waterproof but has served me well through the winter. Whilst it just felt heavy cotton canvas, it didn't let in a drop. I'd keep it if you love it and like shop says, you can buy waterproofing spray if you're worried.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 21/06/2013 21:13

foxy 90s childhood?! OK, now I feel old. I got married in 93 and had DD1 at the end of 94!

QueenCadbury · 21/06/2013 21:30

Keep it then foxy. I'll just remember never to meet you in Bristol on a rainy day as you'll be looking fabulously cool Smile

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 21/06/2013 21:35

Woops. Had a drop of Grey Goose and now drunk-ordered this.

foxysocks · 21/06/2013 21:36

well not really childhood grumpy, but my impressionable years (age10-20) spanned the 90s. I was born in dec '79 so am not super young!

haha queen. I hibernate when it rains! out for the SRs and nothing else Grin

thanks so much all, there's no massive rush to decide so i'll think about it for a few days.

foxysocks · 21/06/2013 21:37

ooo NICE grumps! you should drink more often Grin

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 21/06/2013 21:39

Thank you foxy. I've liked it from afar for a few weeks now. Should've ordered more Wink

MarshaBrady · 21/06/2013 21:46

Good one Grumpy! I couldn't see your J Crew shorts link, great hat.

Foxy love the parka, keep it. You're very slim and can run fast, you can dodge the drops Grin.

Novice I love your stuff. The painter tee, the dress, the J Crew skinnies. Shame about the H Leger, it is so lovely.

Linus USD $50! p&p Shock. Can you link to your MiH breton again? Have forgotten!

Very pretty stuff Mignon.

I just laughed a bit at this pic for some reason I felt as if Emily Blunt had taken my Sandro jumper out of my drawer, just looks so familiar.

foxysocks · 21/06/2013 21:51

oooo en brogue has my shooooes! am unfeasibly pleased.

pmsl at running fast marsha. that's me, sprinting home pushing a bugaboo.

santamarianovella · 21/06/2013 21:52

foxy you are young ,and being a 90s kid myself i totally get it,its a very nice parka, i have a similar one.

grumpy are you sure? there is a lot going on with that necklaceGrin

MarshaBrady · 21/06/2013 21:52

hahaha Grin

AmberNectarine · 21/06/2013 21:52

Have just been lovingly stroking my equipment shirt. It is just so perfect!

Am a fashion no fly zone ATM in loose fit tees and trousers due to getting dressed one handed. My Wang vests have been invaluable! Fingers look like sausages with blue knuckles - have been doing way too much. Thankfully DH off next week so he can do the donkey work, poor sod!

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 21/06/2013 21:53

mmmm Marsha that jumper is gorgeous.

Re-linking the shorts. Sorry, little bit tipsy and not completely in command of my typing skills!

MarshaBrady · 21/06/2013 21:53

That haha was to Foxy!

MarshaBrady · 21/06/2013 21:55

Love the shorts Grumpy really fresh and pretty summer ones.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 21/06/2013 21:55

'Tis a bracelet, santa. I hope!

LinusDKD · 21/06/2013 21:58

Keep the parka foxy! I am another shortarse who can't wear them so very jealous.

Lovely bracelet Grumpy! Might have to browse that website.

Marsha I Know! Ridiculous p&p, why even bother offering international delivery a that price.

MiH yellow breton

I am AngloBelge on Pinterestbut be warned, I have only been pinning for a short time so my boards are a disgrace compared to some of yours.

santamarianovella · 21/06/2013 21:59

now those are nice grumpy

amber enjoy your equipment shirt,its lovely,and there is a possibility of getting addicted to them,one is not enough!

santamarianovella · 21/06/2013 22:02

grumpy my apologies Grin.its seems im the one who had a little too much Wine

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 21/06/2013 22:06

Lovely breton Linus. I'm all over yellow this year. Wish I had a little lunch engagement on the shores of Lake Geneva - sounds perfect Envy

Santa you wouldn't be alone. I think I'm beyond tipsy now! Not much to eat this evening (home made crab cakes that everyone else ate and hardly left me any) and a hefty slug of 'The Goose'. And I'm off to Ascot again in the morning. Think I need to get me an early night.

santamarianovella · 21/06/2013 22:07

linus your celine is gorgeous!

libertychick · 21/06/2013 22:07

This sweater has arrived and it's so bloody awful on me I have had 2 glasses of wine for consolation - Novice I was tempted to pm you a pic so you could see what a real big ass (swathed in grey marl) looks like!

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 21/06/2013 22:14

Liberty don't drown your sorrows - that looks like a real hit or miss item to me. Don't take it personally. I bought a Zoe Karssen T that's a bit like that, but can't be bothered to send it back now (prob too late anyway). Sometimes going for 'butt-covering' can be most unflattering, regardless of the size of one's butt!

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 21/06/2013 22:16

Right, bed is beckoning my drunken ass. G'night all!

libertychick · 21/06/2013 22:18

Ah thanks Grumpy - enjoy Ascot tomorrow.
