Boots were on my list too but I indulged this week ??
My list is ongoing all the time always wanting something don't think its ever actually a need. Right now I want a ted baker wallet cant decide which one tho.

Another tube skirt (maybe whistles navy one), new running shoes (not very S&B), new scarf, which in my head will be alexander McQueen and in reality will probably be H&M.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/10/2014 16:36

I was going to buy a tartan scarf but every man and his dog is wearing them, so I don't want one anymore. Might get a huge bright pink once instead.

I want a bright pink jumper but the only nice one I've found was handwash and cba re that.

I want a casual-ish grey blazer/fabric biker but can't find one I like.

I also want another full, silk, midi skirt, maybe red.

Charitygirl1 · 19/10/2014 20:47

Wide-leg trousers (for work), must be

  • autumn colour
  • not so long they drag on the ground (obv coud be hemmed)
  • not so high waisted that I feel corseted (I love high waisters but have enough).

Long sleeve or short sleeve tees in neutral colours - current lot are starting to get a bit tatty

Short length fine knit round neck cardi in a rich gold or deep orange.

Charitygirl1 · 19/10/2014 20:48

Oh and a new bloody because last years Boden job is falling apart Angry

Charitygirl1 · 19/10/2014 20:48

Bloody bag!

Madaboutthrows · 19/10/2014 21:11

Charity I bought some long sleeved ts in primark today.

Greengardenpixie · 19/10/2014 21:14

I dont actually have anything on it tbh. Certainly nothing that i need. I like a couple of toast/seasalt tunics but apart from that nothing.

CointreauVersial · 19/10/2014 21:18

I am after a big tartan scarf (baaaaa), but I will look for one in Primark for pennies rather than spend too much.

I am toying with the idea of a coat, but I will probably make do with what I have already.

I really need some blue shoes for work. Need to be low heel. I can't find any anywhere.

BlueEyedWonder · 19/10/2014 21:52

I want some black biker boots, a petit bateau breton, a faux fur jacket and a black leather doctor style bag.

MagersfonteinLugg · 19/10/2014 22:06

I am desperate for a new pair of trainers.
Must be red and suede.
Cannot find them anywhere.

helzapoppin2 · 19/10/2014 22:43

A winter coat, possibly a pea coat because I maybe I shouldn't spend October to May as the equivalent of a walking feather duvet, again.

simpson · 20/10/2014 00:25

I want some corduroy skinny trousers/leggings and not in black (my usual colour!)

spottymoo · 20/10/2014 08:39

Dark denim skinny jeans
Black or brown cord above the knee skirt
More chunky tights
Denim dress not found any this autumn.

HolgerDanske · 20/10/2014 09:17

Black riding boots. Preferably waterproof or as close to it as possible.

Tweed blazer.

Black and blue oversized scarf.

Sweater dress in burgundy.

Camel coat. Camel fur scarf or snood.

Over the knee suede boots in taupe.

Biker jacket.

Two or three pairs of jeans.

I might get one or two of these. Everything else will have to wait Sad

BoydCrowder · 20/10/2014 10:27

Some loafers (not black and preferably with a chunky sole). I tried some from Clarks but they were horrendously uncomfortable.

Some long sleeved, long body t-shirts. I'm fed up of tugging on my regular length tops to try and hide my enormous posterior.

A handbag. I've been hunting for the perfect handbag for years. This year I WILL find it.

An above the knee cord skirt in grey or navy.

Sheepskin slippers. Must have a hard sole. I'm fed up of £5 Primark slippers that disintegrate after a couple of months, but I don't want to spend a fortune on lovely ones because my dogs have a history of 'killing' slippers. Hmm

A square silk scarf - this is probably a passing fancy because it gets far too cold where we live for a silk scarf to be a practical choice and as soon as the winter is here I'll forget all about wanting one!

GaryShitpeas · 20/10/2014 10:27

I want a mulberry bag

Specifically a mulberry mini Alexa Envy

HolgerDanske · 20/10/2014 10:29

My mulberry bag has been shunted off my winter list Sad

I will have to buy it in the summer sale instead.

ItsGotBellsOn · 20/10/2014 10:59

Still looking for the perfect winter coat. I want something bum covering, black, in a really good quality soft material, nipped in at the waist and maybe a bit 'luxe' - so some fur or leather in there somewhere. And cut to fit a 6 ft tall woman. Holy bloody grail!

I want a couple of nice blouses to wear with pencil skirts to work.

I need some ankle boots that dont look like mini wellies on my skinny ankles.

Saurus72 · 20/10/2014 11:23

I constantly have a wish list, I really like the planning/researching part of shopping Wink. Currently on my list are:

  1. Nike Liberty trainers when the new range comes out
  2. A medium sized navy handbag. I'm going to the next Ally Capellino sample sale ( they are usually in November and May) to try and find one, but will probably get one from Russell & Bromley if not.
  3. New perfume - maybe Liz Earle or Philosykus (sp?)
  4. Chanel handbag mirror
  5. Ongoing search for lovely day-evening weekend dresses. I have a good selection, but they are such a staple for me that I constantly have my eye out for others.
  6. Short A/W jacket to wear at the weekend. Just can't find one I like.
leedy · 20/10/2014 11:25

Weirdly for me, nothing much. There's an APC bag I quite like but will wait for the sales.

I suspect this is because I went on a ridiculous shopping spree when I got some tax back recently and just bought "the list" (warm coat, raincoat, few long-sleeved tops, ankle boots, nice brown bag). Now am moping around waiting for the weather to get colder so I can wear most of it, this unseasonable warmth is no good for someone with a new Arctic parka.

MarshaBrady · 20/10/2014 11:28

I still need a skirt and perhaps a jacket / short coat.

Got to do a tights order, but would much prefer a discount on Wolfords.

ApplePecanPie · 20/10/2014 11:34

Camel coat

Cashmere scalf, oversized- maybe in navy blue

Tan bag

Grey, v-neck jumper

Wellingtons

Oversized, long-sleeved tops for layering

All very much a wish list, will probably only buy the last two on my list

SuperFlyHigh · 20/10/2014 11:35

Another Mulberry bag (I have an Alexa) but I want them to drop their prices.

black leather riding boots or similar.

tweed blazer (but not really a need)

new sexy undies

libertychick · 20/10/2014 11:40

Above knee black a-line skirt with pockets (this is hard to find)

Pencil skirt in Cos that I love but am waiting to see if it gets reduced

Some long tank style t-shirts - debating if Hush ones are worth the money

Dress for Christmas nights out (or if I can't find a dress a really lovely blouse to wear with skinnies instead)
