HappyGirl just saw your question now.
I don't like the colour - the black isn't right. I don't like the fabric, it has a synthetics papery feel, and it doesn't fit me well. I'm curvy/pear. The jacket is v straight cut and hits my hip at the wrong (widest) part. I bought a medium and it's plenty big enough, probably a bit big, but I think small would be too small. I'm delighted with the black top tho.

Have you tried the jacket yet?

Clarks Hamble Oak brogues with the tweedy bit - £30 down from £60
Clarks Hamble Maze tan boots £39.99 down from £79.99

Both just arrived and very comfortable

Also ordered the Boden navy desert boots for £29.70 and am waiting for them in anticipation.

You can never have too many shoes and boots Smile

HappyGirlNow · 30/12/2014 13:34

lurking yes just got it.. I ordered a medium and a small, the medium was too boxy and square as you say, the small fits better.. I know what you mean re fabric and colour, quite different and I'm not sure.. I'm definitely sending the medium back but I'll try the small with a few different outfit combos and see how I feel..

I've only bought Sorel boots and rag & bone skinnies so far.

trixymalixy · 30/12/2014 14:20

I have bought a down coat in the mango sale. Hasn't arrived yet so don't know what it's like.

I'm looking for a black cowl neck jumper and a flowerbomb gift set.

CeeceeBloomingdale · 30/12/2014 15:23

Philosophy Amazing Grace set for £17.50, beach feet ugg style boots to wear as slippers £21. I'm being practical and not going mad, considering a down coat though.

silversixpence · 30/12/2014 17:14

If anyone finds the laura mercier body souffle set on sale in space Nk and can buy it for me id be happy to pay postage! It's sold out online and eBay prices are too high Hmm

dexter73 · 30/12/2014 17:22

I bought 2 perfume gift sets from Harrods that were half price and a bracelet and necklace from Swarovski. Before Christmas I bought some Ugg Gershwins as I had fancied them for a while and they had 30% off.

slug · 30/12/2014 17:32

I've just come home with these. They are ex-display so I got them for less than half price. Am very chuffed

dexter73 · 30/12/2014 17:39

Wow slug they are unusual! Do they feel odd to walk in?

Namechangeyetagaintohide · 30/12/2014 19:05

Lovely boots Coconut!

CoconutAmericano · 30/12/2014 22:09

Thanks dexter i am so excited it's ridiculous Blush

Brillenbar · 30/12/2014 22:11

I got this www.meandem.com/shearling-snood-black black shearling snood. It is really lovely, although our cat is black so it does look a little like she's curled up around my neck. Some real bargains on me and em. Do wish they'd do dresses in something other than black or navy tho

dexter73 · 30/12/2014 22:18

What a bargain that snood is! I should stop looking at this thread as there are lots of temptations!

Floellabenjamin · 30/12/2014 22:21

I bought this dress
