Mouret for Banana Republic

[ClaraDeLaNoche]

Did anybody snag anything? Got the email at 6am and couldn't see the collection so had a snooze. Back up at 7.15 and all gone. I really wanted the long sleeve colour block dress for work. Sniff.

It's all on eBay by now, probably with a big mark-up!

Just go into a shop, if poss. I'm standing in the Regent St one right now and there's lots of stock.

No shops in Scotland. They are saying on FB that there wasn't anything on the site today, it was all kept for the stores. Except that putrid leopard print crop top which no one will buy. The ebay sales don't seem to be going well, a lot didn't reach the asking price. Ah well. Did it look nice Belinda?

it was all a little too skintighty saucy for me

Same - it's cut to be tight and I don't like tight clothes. I was looking at it from a workwear angle, but it might work well if you are going out or for a cocktail party - it's ideal for that sort of thing. Although, even then, I wouldn't wear such a tight dress, but that's just personal preference.

Thanks. Ah well. I did think some of the stuff looked a bit Carol Vorderman which is fine if you are presenting Pride of Britain. But not so much at work.

These collaborations really piss me off; I can't be bothered with them anymore. All the hysteria, the stripping bare of shelves, the eBay opportunists.....Sometimes I'll spot something vaguely nice, but I simply don't have the energy to battle with a website at 6am or queue outside a store.

Surely this sort of thing will eventually run out of steam - I can't be the only cynic. Emperor's New Clothes?
