Mine are:

Gucci disco bag in navy - I shamelessly copied Decameron and spent an afternoon on the phone in order to acquire it. Oh how I love it - perfect size, using it everyday.

Frame garcon jeans - have them in the distressed rinse and also the white - haven't worn the latter yet but am lookng forward to doing so.

What about you?

My best buy might be the J Crew sweatshirt I asked DH to look out for in the US. It's £68 here and he emailed me to say it was in a sale he paid $29.99!

....but I haven't actually seen it yet...

Other than that a quilted black bomber jacket from NW3. Perfect spring jacket.

My Miista boots. Also a black Hush ruched skirt courtesy of Mumsnet, and a denim pinafore from Primark.

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 09/04/2014 14:19

They're funky beeyump.Not my kinda think but I like them!

For me it's navy high heeled brogues,red suede wedge loafers/boat shoes and my print denim dress (fat face Matilda)

I did get a gorgeous blazer but it was too short for my figure Sad so if anyone sees a blue very small polka dot/pin print lol casual blazer please let me know!

MrsCB, my Disco is going, it's just too small for me (still need to lug stuff around for DD2) - I'm still avid rather than wise!

Favourites at the moment are the Gap skinny khakis Frankie linked earlier and these jeans, Stylesnob grey ballet flats, grey MBMJ Natasha and Equipment silk shirt.

The mint velvet ones are a lovely gun metal grey colour, most flattering fit ever, loads of stretch... They would be great summer and winter jeans. I'm tempted to buy more jeans from mint velvet as so impressed.. I have jeans from every high street store btw!! I'm a standard 10 and theirs was a perfect fit.

MrsCampbellBlack · 09/04/2014 19:01

Some gorgeous buys!

Santa - here - they are sooo nice.

Decameron - oh no - are you sure? I love mine but my children are older and can carry their own stuff Wink

Lovely jeans MrsCB, I need to try Frame. Yes, it's got to go. Saving madly for this (going to take a while).

MrsCampbellBlack · 09/04/2014 19:10

That's lovely - I bet it goes in the sale which is only a couple of months away

  • A forest green silk front sweatshirt top from Jigsaw
  • A gorgeous Monica Vinader ring bought at 75% off in the Christmas sale (not technically this year I guess)
  • A lovely pair of bronze metallic Superga trainers
  • A shirt dress from Toast that I keep trying on and praying for warm weather so I can wear it.
  • A grey smooth wool scarf from Cos - just lovely, everyday luxury.

I've bought too much this year already - lots of clothes for work for Spring/Summer.

Decameron · 09/04/2014 20:33

If I get it I will be truly happy and never need another bag. Wink I am not one of NaP's chose ones and never get a sale preview code ... hope it doesn't sell out!

Like the sound of your shopping, Saurus.

cloggal · 09/04/2014 22:20

Hush black ruched skirt (thanks mn!) and ash wedge trainers. Could do with some basics soon, though...

Saurus72 · 09/04/2014 22:27

Thanks Decameron - I really need to lay off buying anything for a few weeks really...

Beeyump · 09/04/2014 22:30

I love that so many were brought to the Hush ruched skirt via mumsnet!

santamarianovella · 10/04/2014 11:05

Thanks mrsCB,I'm looking for white denim jeans,and its not an easy task,really trying to avoid the liz H look,so slim boyfriends might be the answer.
I have the garçon in Berkeley ,the fit is perfect,

dexter73 · 10/04/2014 11:21

My heart necklace. I have worn it loads.

have hardly bought anything in 2014. my basics are all in place so am focusing on more funky one-off pieces and prints this year.

the pilotto skater trainers are probably my best buy, I have worn them loads already.
