Has anyone ordered from Yoox before? And/or returned things?

Weekend away sounds lovely Mara - apart from the rain! We had our first bbq of the year tonight (well if you can call cooking homemade burgers on gas bbq 6 feet from back door, then eating inside, a barbecue!).

That sounds encouraging One, I hope you hear soon. You've been waiting ages!

BrandyAlexander · 05/04/2014 21:42

Evening all, I will be back properly later, but if anyone knows where I could get this bag in the UK, I would be very grateful. I want to get it as a gift.Thanks

libertychick · 05/04/2014 21:45

Link is just going to main site page novice...

BrandyAlexander · 05/04/2014 21:47

try again?

Annianni · 05/04/2014 21:48

Yoox are fine Blair, I've ordered and returned things a few times with no problems.

I tried the next leopard shoes today.
They are lovely but too yellow for me.
I need a darker pair I think.

OneLittleLady · 05/04/2014 21:48

blair they have until the middle of July to give me an answer so I could still be waiting a while til I hear anything. I'm hoping they won't keep me waiting as long as that though!

AmberNectarine · 05/04/2014 21:52

Can I be your friend novice? Do you mean in store or online? I think Prada can only be bought from their site here (though may be wrong)

VL good for smaller ladies - I think the Domino style works well. I like it but no good for me, I have the Volpe.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 05/04/2014 21:53

Thanks Anni!

Link works for me novice, I've had a google and look on shopstyle/polyvore and it seems only Saks and Neiman Marcus have the "Bowler satchel". Couldn't see it on the Prada UK site. So not available in UK :( hope I'm wrong though.

BrandyAlexander · 05/04/2014 21:55

Gah! Second link not working either. It's one of two Prada bags - prada daino convertible satchel or Saffiano Lux Bowler Satchel. In black. I can't see it on the Prada website.Sad

BrandyAlexander · 05/04/2014 21:56

Thanks Blair.Thanks Sad

libertychick · 05/04/2014 22:03

I've had a quick hunt too and it doesn't look likes it's available in UK. Hope you can hunt it down novice - will you be in the US again soon?

BrandyAlexander · 05/04/2014 22:21

Thanks LibertyThanks. I am back in 2 months. Quick flick through my diary shows I am in 3 other countries before then but don't rate my luck. Plus I really want to gift it now. I just remembered that there's a Gucci she likes, going it look for that instead.

SecretSquirrel13 · 05/04/2014 22:25

Dry I'm thinking that's way too much for a week. Going back for another look at your list....

Drywhiteplease · 05/04/2014 23:00

You're right secretsq I have loads of time but I hate going away and wishing I'd packed something.....always want to take my latest favourite thing.

SecretSquirrel13 · 05/04/2014 23:00

Ok- I would ditch the mint sweater, the red ensemble and the turquoise silk shirt. It's top heavy. Also what will you wear under various sweaters?
Try writing all your items out on a sheet of paper and join each item to what it goes with, if an item doesn't join to 2 or more others it's out. I read this on pin last year and it worked really well. Also sticking to a few colours helps as a lot goes with a lot. Too much time on my hands, oh yes!

libertychick · 05/04/2014 23:07

You'll look like a proper runner in that gear Secretsquirrel Smile

Dry there have been a few pins tonight on packing/travel see here, here and here for inspiration. I always bring too much as I get into a flap worrying about weather possibilities or what if DD throws up on me etc. I never wear the half of what I bring.

Looking forward to seeing what SS does with your list!

Drywhiteplease · 05/04/2014 23:08

Good tip Ss. didn't want to put vest on my list in public, but will take a couple
