Mint Velvet anything worth ordering?

I've been having a look at the new Mint Velvet collection, lots of nice things online but not having a store nearby I can't decide if its worth ordering or not. Has anyone bought anything nice there recently? What are the boots and coats like for quality?

I've bought quite a few bits for Autumn. A couple of pairs of leggings, some long sleeved tops for layering, a fabulous little jacket. I've got my eye on a few more items. I'm happy with the quality (have bought from them before) and I like the fact that the styling is in line with latest fashions, yet still seems to suit me, and I'm in my forties. Some of the dressier evening tops appear to be a bit expensive given the fabric, but I would probably try them anyway. Sizing is true to size.

Thanks, I will give them a try. Good to know quality is ok for the price. I like the Grey Buckle Boots and also a couple of the coats/jackets. What's the knitwear like?

I like it, but wish it wasn't so Samey every season.

The boots and shoes always look lovely (sadly too small for me)....

I haven't tried the knitwear. The jeans have been good, I have two pairs of their skinny jeans as they fit me really well. I'm really keen to try one of their leather jackets.

I haven't bought anything yet but will do so. I've been sent the new mini catalogue and love everything in it, except the animal cocoon coat on the first page which makes the model look like a pregnant leopard.

There's sometimes a code floating around, I tend to buy when I get it to get 10-15% off. I feel it's worth about that, not the actual price, although I have found the quality to be good and skinny jeans work well on me.

The code at the moment is Fall. It gives 15% and free delivery until October 5th.

Yes, the leather jackets do look lovely, as do their boots. I like a lot of the stuff on the website, I'm just not sure what I like most and what's worth buying. Will try and make a small list!

Ooh thanks Phaedra, might make it a bit easier.

They have a wish list facility on the website so you can look at everything you like, together. It's a bit of a faff to access though unless you've just added something.
