Sorry, here is the link www.zara.com/uk/en/sale/woman/knitwear/cashmere-sweater-c436539p1983901.html

I just ordered these, as an alternative to Skinnies, but not sure if they will suit. A friend tried them on and I loved them on her, though. www.zara.com/uk/en/sale/woman/trousers/faux-leather-trousers-c436519p2045067.html

Jaeger coat is lovely but sold out in Berry Sad. I find camel hard to wear. I'm fair and a bit sallow. It is it a good neutral on everyone??

Theonlyoneiknow · 26/12/2014 15:29

Also succumbed to uniqlo sale, Mwahhhhhhh!

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 26/12/2014 15:35

Katy - I think it varies from camel to camel. I find some shades work for me (I'm blonde and fair washed out) and some just. Do. Not.

Zara sail isn't great yet. £25 down to £18 etcsnd mostly 6 or 16

HelpMeGetOutOfHere · 26/12/2014 16:10

I usually avoid the sales and we are supposed to be all devices switched off today but I have caved and shopped m&s, gap, joules, john Lewis and mulberry. I did a mass ebay clear out before Christmas and had over £600 that I transferred from paypal to my bank account. I may just as well have left it in paypal Xmas Blush did get some fab bargains though.

Redtartanshoes · 26/12/2014 16:33

Oooh what did you get from Mulberry?

I'm after Tiley Hobo in black

zinnia · 26/12/2014 16:44

Plumo is on. Nabbed myself this www.plumo.com/products/North-Raincoat.html at last - not a brilliant reduction but desperate for a proper waterproof coat...

Might also have gone a bit mad on Zara at midnight. And bought a bucketload of Mint Velvet jeans at John Lewis. Most of what I'd been stalking on Hush has sold out though

HelpMeGetOutOfHere · 26/12/2014 16:57

I brought an oak del ray. Not 100% certain but can always return. I did look at the Effie but already have that in oak and the saving not as good.

I'd love a Tilley hobo too Grin

KatyPeary · 26/12/2014 19:03

Thanks Belinda. I am also a bit colourless washed out. Hmmm. It is such a lovely coat. Might order and see

listentotheman · 26/12/2014 20:24

Half price Barbour I'd had my eye on :-)

VictorineMeurent · 27/12/2014 09:02

Toast started on line this morning, bagged a cardigan and one of the button necked jumpers I've wanted for ages. Good availability as at 8.22am.

HelpMeGetOutOfHere · 27/12/2014 09:12

I went to bed at 6 last night and woke at 3. Couldn't get back to sleep and the Zara sale got me! Mainly for dd but did get a coat and a bag for myself.

Apatite1 · 27/12/2014 09:42

I've been to toast and bagged my bag, dress and top of choice. Am rapidly reaching my max budget for the sales!

Dancergirl · 27/12/2014 09:47

I'm thinking about this cashmere knit dress from Uniqlo:

imip · 27/12/2014 09:51

I've been completely unable to check out on the uniglo site - for two days - am I missing something....

Alex and alexa sale has started. I got dds rio roller skates for £28 - half price - and have put them away for birthdays this year. I got dd a pair from Christmas with 30% or so off and they were around £40. That was the best I could find....

Greengardenpixie · 27/12/2014 10:43

The toast sale always has good stock to begin with...its not the real sale. The sale begins in a week when they further reduce the prices. I am contemplating waiting.....but may cave. The dress i want is still quite pricey..annoyingly!

Apatite1 · 27/12/2014 12:22

I spent £195 in toast on what was £370 full price and I'm happy with that. I've missed out on what I really wanted in the archive sales before.

Greengardenpixie · 27/12/2014 13:00

That is good..but ive spent quite a lot on the sales already so am limiting myself. So far i have bought:
Toast fairisle jumper dress that came back in stock..only one left in a 12. Its a little large in the body but i will make it work! £45
White stuff lovely tunic £29 and velvet skinny legging trousers £35 - great fit and very slimming! Lovely long cardi in a gorgeous vibrant plum colour £35 from white stuff. Have ordered a kimono jacket from white stuff in teal £38 and a vest to go with it for £15. A seasalt skirt and leafy tunic at £60 All very lovely :)

Greengardenpixie · 27/12/2014 13:04

Apatite..what did you buy in the toast sale?

Floellabenjamin · 27/12/2014 16:01

Too much!
Dresses for DDs upcoming birthdays
Sequin dress from phase 8 half price £75
Silk Work tops from hobbs
John Lewis tops and dress for work- collection range. Guess can return them..
Smellies- gift for family from space nk

Bought this coat from Zara. I love it, husband gave me a bit of a look when I tried it on. Thoughts?

I was going for a classic coat that won't date thwt can be dressed up or down. I buy a lot from COS, Jaeger and Zara so thought it fitted that look. Was a lot for me to spend so hope I've not made a big fashion faux pas!!
