Great bags Shop - for me the red leaps out, in fact I think I may buy it & get DH or DDs to give it to me for Christmas. But the only red bag i have is trashed Le Pliage and I do love red. My second choice would be green but I can see how the white would look very dramtic on a winter. I also love your Stans which either would look good with. Are the saddle bags big enough to fit a kindle in or is it strictly keys, phone & purse?

Interesting article in the Guardian yesterday about the blurring of boundaries between high street and designer prices. Well worth a read.

I was thinking red would be good but I have my mini Gracie in red. But the Zatchel fits a little more so I tend to use it more for daytime. The green is awesome but I have nothing else green in my wardrobe.
I have a small one and it fits purse (a fat Mulberry one), phone and keys - no more.
Off to read the article.

Well done on the APC blouse Kitty. It's a great buy.

Shop I think white leather might be too much - my instant thought was red for you. Gap jacket sounds great. I love hearing that you are wearing some of my stuff. I adored that sweater so snuggly. I've been wearing your A&W silk shirt a lot recently.

Linus that dress looks lovely.

Cross post re the red bag. Is it worth ordering the white and the green and then trying them out with a view to returning one???

I might go red. I do love a red bag, and I never use my Gracie during the day as it is just too small for me. I think white where I live may look less stylish, more 80s throwback :)

Ordered the red in a large

Love the red shop, my favourite!

To be fair, I did buy a TF nail varnish for DM but two samples is still pretty good.

Well done kitty on the APC shirt! Mine is in the wash but can't wait to wear it again.

For Dry

Lovely bag Shop. And your link has just led me to a possible pair of gold shoes....

How the hell did that happen Lib ?
Loads of fab stuff on the Outnet - have been pinning like a nutter for you all
Found Marsha some new pitch pants :)

Thanks for that Xmas jumper post shop - I've just ordered this. Never had an Xmas jumper before!

Great bag Shop and very versatile, I have one in tan and a small one in yellow.

Linus I hope the blouse arrives before the weekend, I'm going to try it out with a pleather A line skirt.

Stokey will take a look at that article.

Hello
I'm new on here & love reading your thread. Sorry for lurking!

I clicked on the link for the Zatchels bag that Shopafrolic ordered. I think it might be the perfect gift for my dil, but not sure what size or colour to order. She's 28 and wears mostly dresses and in neutral colours. I don't really know what I'm doing in the style and beauty section but hope one of you lovely ladies might be able to give advice.

many thanks

Welcome Dreamqueen stick around
The small is a good size for phone, purse and keys. What colour bags have you seen her with before? They had a fab charcoal grey on there, almost black. A bit more interesting than black but still classic.

Thanks for replying shopafrolic.

I think she might need the large size, she tends to carry around makeup, perfume etc with her so small sounds too little.
I love the red one that you ordered. Is the grey one the one they call graphite? That looks nice. Will choose between that and the red.

Hi dreamqueen. Difficult to say...if she wears mainly neutral then something like a red would look really good. But then again it may be best sticking to neutral if that's what she prefers. No help really am I . The saddlebags are lovely and a great size for essentials. The mini sizes are great for going out. I'm very envious of my friends small silver one which they don't do any more.
shop- I think red is the best choice for you. I had one and loved it. Only sold it as decided I didn't do red anymore. It's a bit too dramatic for me. I'm not keen on the white although the greens lovely too. I love my green bag with navy.

I got my navy party dress today from whistles. Bargain at £36. It must be last season as can't find it anywhere. It's a bit like my summer next one only dressier. Whistles had lots of nice things actually. Most wouldn't suit me style wise but some lovely pine greens. amber I loved your coat in navy. So that's me done for clothes shopping until next spring....

The navy is gorgeous isn't it BW - I found it hard to choose!

dreamqueen - welcome! Hard to go wrong with charcoal.

Lovely red bagShop hopes DH has followed instructions and hints and got me a red bag for my birthday
Queen I'm fairly classic and wear loads of neutrals, a red bag would work very well in my wardrobe and I love my red leather gloves, so MATCHY

Why oh why, when you book a rare manicure do your nails break just before? [big crying face]

And, I got a puncture on the way to work this morning......AA came in 15mins. I LOVE that man

Oh you know shop, you click on an article about autumn clothes, then on some shoes, then realise the same shop has other shoes....

dreamqueen I love the red bag. Welcome.

Good work by AA dry. Shame about the nails.

liberty love that dress and I am wearing my camel MD coat so much. Love it, goes with everything and get compliments including from DD's friends, funny how a classic style can look so fashionable

Ooooh this is nice

I'm still claiming the glory for finding that one Dry

Anyone watched Unforgotten? DH Amd I are loving it. And the theme tune is gorgeous.

And I

Gorgeous dress dry.

shop feel free to find a camel coat for me too
