Come and join us for friendly fashion chat. Some of our glasses are empty because we're trying to loose weight, but were still happy, non judgemental, flippant and welcoming lot. We love new visitors (ESP Shop who will hug you)

Can someone explain amber post,? ,

Has anyone tried this

Not my colours but how gorgeous is this scarf ?

Just your experience shop. I wasn't groped by a chipmunk.

Guess I should count myself lucky then?

If I get cut up by a car you can bet your last fiver it will be a RR, Porsche Cayenne or X5. Every time. Obviously not everyone who has one is a bad driver, but they do seem to gravitate towards them round here. Anyway, it was a joke, hence winky face.

No chipmunk gropage here. In fact I was profoundly disappointed by the last of molestation by characters full stop.

Just waving hello as been told off by Dry. Can't say that I'm not influenced by the thought of testing out done decent high end products
I really must contribute more, the last month I've barely even read much of mn at all. My life has just taken over but things gradually improving as I adjust to working a lot more. Plus still trying to buy less so I can make better choices.

Rubbish!
Linus I meant to say earlier - loved those espadrilles you linked a pic of. Where were they?

Waves to Secret
Blimey, imagine all the lurkers who are going to join in thinking we're delivered boxes of freebies every day! How disappointed they'll be.......

My white skinnies and AV top will have to wait until tomorrow for the try on.

Sidetracked Marsha :)
Interested to hear how the jeans are in particular.
My necklace should be here tomorrow - we can have a try on day!

I'm so tired. I need to do it justice (and I want to be very spotless!)

Yep try on day sounds good.

The skinnies look really good so far, no pocket see-through. But I am not sure I can do them, will see.

shop I saw them in a shoe shop in my local shopping center. Want me to pick you up a pair?

Don't joke Linus I love an espadrille and my red ones won't last much longer. Are they bargainous?

I think they were about £15 but I'll have to double check.

Wow it's been busy here today. Maybe I should just out myself as the STS journo

Dry I love that denim Boden dress, it's in my bag

Was in Oliver Bonas today and bought this totally gorgeous T-Shirt. It's so pretty .

I also bought this chambray blouse (BTW has anyone clarified the difference between denim and chambray???). I am a bit undecided about it. Will wait until the weekend and do a proper trying on session and then decide if it's a keeper or not.

Lovely, Liberty. Very pretty.

Denim v chambray

Shop - have just pm'd you BTW

Thanks Marsha I sighed with relief at finding something I like after 2 weeks of shopping fails - wow I am a saddo!!!

QueenC saw this and thought of you today

Oh I do love a fabric clarification. I'm into my fabrics, fibres and weaves saddo

This one drives me mad.....is it silk or satin?
Well, satin can be silk because satin is a weave and silk is a fibre. You can get a polyester satin. I'm pedantic like that.

Denim is a twill weave (as it says in the link) names after the Fr town Nîmes from where it originated ....de Nîmes, see (have I just repeated the whole blog thing?)

V interesting Dry - I always wondered what satin was - what is calico do you know?

I think calico is a type of cotton weave I think.

Unbleached, very simple stuff

Thanks - it's always mentioned in old books - Little Women etc. Never knew what it was wonders why I just don't google this stuff
