I have just received my Lotta from Stockholm clogs (in red) and I absolutely LOVE them! I would never have come across them if it hadn't been for MN and wonder what other gorgeous things have been bought thanks to the Style and beauty gurus and whether they were as good as you hoped?

Can I ask those of you who mentioned Saltwater sandals if they are comfortable?
The soles look quite flat rather than shaped for the sole of the foot....
Also is the leather soft?
Thanks

CoconutAmericano · 09/05/2015 17:39

trickyex I find them extremely comfortable despite their flatness. I find most sandals rub my feet somewhere. These never ever have rubbed anywhere and I can wear them all day. The leather is soft too.

trickyex · 09/05/2015 18:10

Thank you Coconut.
I think I may treat myself, I love Mumsnet recommendations.
Just need to decide on a colour.....

Parliament hairdryer and Babyliss Big Hair - I have the one which comes with interchangeable barrels, it's fab!

Ledkr · 09/05/2015 18:43

Is the liquid gold stuff worth the money?
I've been using the okay night serum which is lovely and got better reviews than the linguistic gold so I need it pitched to me if possible.

it's not just confined to style and beauty:) the LC boot camp changed my life, for a start:)

Footner
Hush and my best buy there was a tube skirt.
Rose hip oil. I'm lucky enough to have good skin anyway. This stuff makes it amazing:)
Oil cloth cleansing
Soap and glory foot file
Bra intervention

And also the realisation that it's not just me, and I'm not the only person who thinks touché éclat is over rated.

Northernexile · 09/05/2015 22:48

Footner, Babyliss Big Hair.

The Microplane foot file is the best one in the world though, honestly!

standingonlego · 09/05/2015 23:08

I appear to have just ordered a pair of rather fine blue and silver clogs Blush

Quick question about the Lotta clogs, are they really narrow? I have wider than what the average sandal seems to cater for feet. Have thought about two pairs sitting in my Amazon basket for weeks ordering some, but worried they'll be too narrow.

Also, low or high heel?
Thank you

mammmamia · 09/05/2015 23:38

I was coming on to say the Epistick - life changing!
All of you saying it was crap, you just haven't worked out how to use it, believe me.

I need to try the BBH.

CrockedPot · 10/05/2015 07:29

Runswithscissors, no they aren't narrow, I have 'normalish' width feet and they are very comfy, plus, the leather is really soft, so I think they will give across the foot. Mine are the high heeled ones, get them, they are gorgeous to wear!

strawberry what are mum boots? Need to check I'm not wearing them!

QueenBean · 10/05/2015 09:52

Fresher there's quite a discussion about it on here - this is a few years old now but all rules remain the same!
