As always I am a bit disappointed. Too many patterns. stripes and dotty-circles. The only thing that grabs me is possibly the weekend casual dress but the summer version which I have is quite low necked.

Love the look of the jersey jacquard dress and have high hopes for that. The Amy dress looks lovely too in the blue mix, but I think you might need boobs for it as there sems a lot of space to fill, and I don't have those. The Milano dress is a maybe, as is the Lindsey ponte dress, but their ponte dresses make my belly look big so I will have to reserve judgement on those.

If I looked like the model wearing the crinkle shirt in peach and navy, I would buy that, but I am a short arse.

The patterns in the long sleeve jersey wrap top are no good for me - far too fussy.

So not a huge amount for me (I only buy from their petite range, and although there looks to be a lot of stuff available, its not what I really want to buy).

Greengardenpixie · 21/07/2014 13:08

No, i dont have it yet.
Mmmm saw the preview and wasnt inspired but i do like the lila skirt in the kind of green leaf print. I think that will be an order for me.

Just back from work and it's sitting here next to my cup of tea.

victoryinthekitchen · 21/07/2014 13:24

mine has arrived but school holidays here so no chance to open it yet, however will study tonight with a cuppa, bliss!!

dontcallmemam · 21/07/2014 13:36

Had a quick flick through but not inspired by anything.
My bug bear is that I have 34" inside leg & can never buy full length trousers or jeans from Boden. Now they cater for petites they should consider their taller customers.

margaritasbythesea · 21/07/2014 14:30

I can't see anything I would try even just to see. Boden! What is it with the high necks?

IME they really don't do much for women with larger breasts.

chickydoo · 21/07/2014 14:34

Flicked through it, same old, same old.
Have chucked it in the bin

Greengardenpixie · 21/07/2014 14:46

I dont think there is that much on the website in each section. I was surprised there was very little choice in the trouser dept. I wanted a pair of wideleg cords. Hoping that they will be included when the winter stock comes in. No wideleg jeans either :(

BovrilonToast · 21/07/2014 15:13

I just had a look at the website - there's barely anything I want!

Last year's autumn/winter was lovely.

polyhymnia · 21/07/2014 18:53

Anyone got a code?

RufusTheReindeer · 21/07/2014 19:57

Not much catching my eye

But I really want the KHK boho boot!!!

Can't resist boots

marram · 21/07/2014 20:20

Interestingly, my next door neighbour got a 15% off discount code on her copy, but I only got 10%. Wonder why? Slightly irritating......

HiawathaDidntBotherTooMuch · 21/07/2014 20:43

Marram, I only got a 10% discount code as well. I never get any of the vouchers like £10 off your next purchase, that lots of other people seem to get either. I put it down to the fact that I buy so much in Boden. Johnnie must think that I'm a sure thing.

marram · 21/07/2014 21:01

Do you think so? Maybe so, my neighbour is a relatively new customer and has only ordered from them twice, so maybe still the honeymoon treatment! I haven't bought much recently from them as I find it expensive and we are a bit more skint than usual just now.

marram · 21/07/2014 21:02

That said, I am waiting for the 20% offer (if there is anything I am going to buy...) Grin

TheFirmament · 21/07/2014 21:06

Ooh I've got mine, going to have a browse later with a glass of wine, I'm looking forward to being entertained! Autumn is my favourite season though and there is usually something I actually like among the eye-watering garishness, often knitwear.

Has Johnnie included the naff "Love it!" "So me!" stickers to put on my fave picks? :o

jasmine31 · 21/07/2014 21:08

I got an email offering 15% off. Clicked the link to the Boden website which gives discount code - A92N.

marram · 21/07/2014 21:11

alas, no stickers this time. Thanks for code Smile

frames · 21/07/2014 21:15

Been on the website. The blonde model sucking her fingers is totally off putting.

PastaBow · 22/07/2014 06:38

There wasn't much I liked. I liked the grey jumper with horizontal stripes but I don't think it will be worth £59.

Pinkfrocks · 22/07/2014 08:30

some things are low stock already- including the tweedy mini which I have half an eye on.

Lonecatwithkitten · 22/07/2014 08:34

Never ever buy from the first copy, wait until Johnnie is desparate and sends you ever greater offers. I usually wait till 3 for 2 pops through my door.

MrsMaturin · 22/07/2014 08:39

I want a Catherine coat but I need to wait for a good offer. What colour would you get? I really don't know.......

EugenesAxe · 22/07/2014 08:44

What margaritas said - looked through thinking 'Mmm - that looks great on the model with neat tits but my huge knockers would entirely warp the look.'

I also thought that their patterns seemed to be a Joules/ Cath K/ Seasalt and to some extent, Little White Company, mish mash.

Pinkfrocks · 22/07/2014 08:57

The patterns- don't get me started! I wanted a long sleeve T shirt- fine if you want stripes- or white. Every bloody T is striped FGS!
