I was thinking about this today. I think mine is these shoes. I have worn them several times a week and still love them to bits.

Anyone else care to share?

Love that R&B biker.

MrsCampbellBlack · 13/06/2013 19:37

Love the iro and marant - santa and sleep!

Foxy - I've worn my biker lots too.

The only thing I want in the sales is the marant ariana - come on nap sale, start soon please.

Laska42 · 13/06/2013 21:07

this and this and a gorgeous orange broderie anglaise sleeveless shirt dress from tkmaxx (but cant find a picture)

Laska42 · 13/06/2013 21:15

I so want this though..

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 13/06/2013 21:15

Oooh Laska that Arana Maxi Dress is THE most gorgeous fabric pattern.

Laska42 · 13/06/2013 21:23

It is isn't It? I love it and is so flattering .. (I bought it at full price though the moment it came into Monsoon - not something I usually do - and now glad I did! )

Black leather biker jacket from River Island, a total bargain at £100, just gorgeous smooshy nappa type leather, goes with pretty much everything I own.

And my olive Primark skinnies for £7 which I love, partly because they're a size 8 not vanity sized at all, oh no and wear several times a week, can be dressed up or down and again just seem to slot seamlessly into my wardrobe.

My M&S jeggings in watermelon red - so much happier than my usual black/indigo denim...

AntPants1 · 14/06/2013 13:01

This belt from topshop has been great

Half-price cream marl jersey blazer from Zara, which I bang on about all the time, which has been soooo useful.

Amazinggg aren't leather jackets useful?! I bought one from Gap a couple of Christmases ago - it was about £120 and it's not half had some wear. Just seems to go with everything and makes everything look so much cooler!

QueenCadbury · 14/06/2013 13:37

Too many buys this year to name just one Grin but it'll be either my pink or red cardi that get worn several times a week.

My definite best buy was getting my colours done. Totally worth every penny.

Annianni · 14/06/2013 13:42

It's probably my Hudson beth baby bootcuts.
I wear them on average twice a week.
And they were a bargainous £50 in the Donna Ida sale earlier this year.

ThePortlyPinUp · 14/06/2013 13:44

Limecrime velvetine matte lipstick in red velvet, I wear it nearly every day and it cheers me up. The most expensive lippy I own but it's worth it :)

Francagoestohollywood · 14/06/2013 13:57

Citizens of Humanity jeans.

So Envy of the mini Marcie Toasted. And I love that Iro jacket!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/06/2013 16:10

Biker jackets are the bee's knees - mine was from Oasis about a year and a half ago and it is literally the best £100 I have ever spent. Love it and it's hardly ever off my back!

Sonotkylie · 14/06/2013 18:14

Shoes arrived today. They are massive! Interestingly the 6 (my usual size) is also marked 39 1/2 rather than 39 so I think they may have changed the sizing? Anyway, great on all other fronts so I will re- order. But out of a massive £184 order, I am keeping £4 worth of school daps for DS ... No VPL pants give the worst Vpl ever seen even 2 sizes too big, and the pull on jeggings which I know everyone raves about just don't work on me at all - not as nice as either leggings or jeans. Am going to pour myself a big glass of wine now.

MrsCampbellBlack · 14/06/2013 18:23

Was thinking about this more and these 2 things have been used to death

Etoile blouse perfect for fat days

And my lovely red bag. There is something very cheering about a red bag.

libertychick · 14/06/2013 21:19

Interesting on the shoes Sonotkylie. Have you narrow feet? I found them slightly long but very narrow?

I have been hankering after that Marant blouse MrsCB - 'good for fat days' may well be the deciding factor if it goes in the sale! I also really like the ariana....

That sounds simply wonderful annielaw! What was the website again?

Hmm
polyhymnia · 14/06/2013 22:17

amber love those shoes . Are they comfortable ? What's sizing like?

MrsCampbellBlack · 15/06/2013 07:46

Its in the sale on matches Liberty and it also washes incredibly well. I love it!

Sonotkylie · 15/06/2013 08:03

I didn't think I had narrow feet, although Boden shoes fit me and they have a narrow reputation. Let's see how the 5.5 work.
And the Marant blouse is gorgeous.

AmberNectarine · 15/06/2013 08:32

poly they are comfortable, they have padded soles. They're a little big on me, but I am a 5.5 really and got a 6, so I would think TTS if you were not a dodgy half size like me.
