If you have the body for this its lovelysnake

Went into esprit never been in there and bought atop.these were very nice lovely colour. In fact I liked everything Nearly bought a denim dress and then thought maybe not!

I love Esprit...we have a concession in the local posh department store. Bought loads in the xmas sales there.

The window display in our one is always dreadful I went in to look at a jacket which wasn't there and had a quick nose! Liked a lot of it and quality seemed nice

Just tried on virtually every pair of heels in both Clarks and M&S and NOTHING fits.

These were gorgeous, but stupid M&S only do them in a wide fit.

These are lovely but are flat and I want heels. Think I'll get them anyway.

Stupid people in Clarks kept bringing me wide fitting, even when I told them not to - so I gave up there but I think I might order these.

stumbles back in with NEWS
right

1.Bobbi Brown counters - get more staff fgs. getting served is like winning the lottery so I didn't get the gel eyeliner that i pawed at for about ten minutes.

1. Oasis - you are one step away from Wallis with your shop fitting - where polyester goes to die.
2. Gap I love you but SNOOZEVILLE
3. Zara - take some care of your stock, fraying jackets, make up covered white tops.

ANYHOO. I tried on some sparkly pointed flats in zara, lovely but i don't need them and they weren't in my size anyway. I have a pic on my phone I will upload later.
I got these blue trews in zara

• am a 12 in trousers and got a M. They are almost a sugar almond blue. AH here they are - with that well known complimentary colour to pale blue - maroon

Also tried on some white ones that did up at the side ( or not - the 12 was too small) and the front seam gave me the suggestion of camel toe. Not much else that interested apart from this dress for Finbars wedding thing www.zara.com/uk/en/woman/dresses/party/drop-sleeved-shift-dress-c400010p1938021.html

also RESULT on the lace top. I found a 14. It had definitely shrunk lengthwise so DONT TUMBLE IT anyone!

plus tom ford grey vetevier - YUM

LOVE the espirit top - did you get the blue Nod?

here are sparkly shoes

tis odd remus how they do some shoes ONLY in fatfoot isnt it? You would think they would do both

oh and i noticed that Marks had a wannabe BR moment although the thigh looked too big on them ( marks trews never fit me anyway)

I tweeted M&S re stupid fat feet shoes and their reply was that they have OTHER shoes in non fat feet. Didn't seem to understand that I wanted THOSE shoes. Silly people.

I failed dismally. Crazy Warehouse trews nowhere to be found; 4 branches of Boots failed to have the concealer I wanted; shoe hunt a disaster. All I managed to buy was lunch.

Grey V is lovely. Once again, I am now covered in Tuscan Leather. I keep surreptitiously sniffing myself.

"M&S in poor response on Twitter" shocker

John Lewis dont have Tuscan Leather
Neroli not right I though.
Patchouli - so so

VETEVIER mmmm

linkt o Warehouse trews
OOH i meant to say , that marks blazer. I tried on the white one and it is VERY nice
here think she is proud of her assets

Would do for your work wear issues

hmm that says linen - dont think it was linen...

I have the vetiver too love it. I got the blue shirt so flattering Took one back to cos as a bit see through. The esprit trousers are lovely I might get next month.

have they lost their MINDS? 200 quid?

plus i forgot to paw those Autograph shoes again

No, no, no to white jackets - on me at least. I'd look like a dinner lady.

I linked the crazy trews earlier, I think - insane flowery ones. None to be found in four concessions in Birmingham.

i cant see it.

Oh I saw that White pencil skirt Belinda - only two left in Marks. looked VERY expensive. too long for me though

Ah the CHINTZY ones?

Yes - crazy chintzy ones. They are about as far from my comfort zone as I could get, but I love the print and I'm sick of living in black. Would rather have 'loud' bottom than top!

Blue Jack Wills lace top was gorgeous but only in an 8.

This lovely but short and too similar to my Whistles ones to bother getting.

This is beautiful if anybody can wear white and isn't too norky.

Sleeved version too but open back so needs a cami under.
