Thank you Kitty. I might try your code as I wanted the gold linen tee and that's still full price. I have a navy tippi and think that is the most used after the grey!

Jiya Jewellery fans - they have 50% off everything with code SummerSale

Love my metallic linen tee..... this dress has arrived. Need to try it later.......
Have had a lovely afternoon being a test body for my friend's beauty salon for the staff to learn how to do the Jane Scrivner total body polish treatment. I met Jane Scrivner - very impressive woman, fab range of products.

Great purchases Blair and Kitty and love the belt Lib. I still need to return my tan belt to MD.

Blair I did buy 2 pairs of shoes in the sale on Sat - these and these just in case you missed them Wink

I must be one of the few not to have a tippi - there are some fabulous colours but not in my size. With the best will in the world, I'm never going to get into xxxsmall which is all that is left in this gorgeous pink colourway.

PausedToTakeInTheView · 16/06/2016 19:46

Well I have to post again to sing the praises of J Crew customer service. I rang the number on the wee pop up message saying my code wasn't valid and they said the thank you/thank me combo expired yesterday. They then offered to honour it if I ordered today so happy girl here! Thanks for the kind help.

Everyonelovessparkles · 16/06/2016 19:57

Nice purchases blair and kitty.

Shame about the dune sandals blair. I hate paying for returns.

That's good of J Crew paused glad you got what you wanted.

I'm toying with purchasing a blue bag. I've got my eye on this one [www.houseoffraser.co.uk/DKNY+Sutton+blue+flap+over+cross+body+bag/227611010,default,pd.html Blue bag] but not sure if I'm just buying for the sake of buying, so am thinking about it....

Marsha where are yooooooooooo??????

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 16/06/2016 20:23

Fedup not sure how I missed the shoes, both are fab, Dune have some lovely things this season.

Paused that is great news!

I really like the DKNY bag Everyone. Good idea to sit on it for a bit though :)

It's just started chucking it down here, 2 mins after DH finished barbecuing our dinner Grin glad I didn't water the plants!

VivaVegas · 16/06/2016 21:35

Nice dress Shop and I love those red/orange shoes Fed up, are they more red or orange??

KittyHello · 16/06/2016 22:38

Glad you bought those red shoes Fedup I'm wearing my very different to yours red shoes and I love them. They really brighten up a full outfit - navy skinnies and white linen shirt

Paused great customet service from JCrew. Please stick around and tell us about your purchases.

Everyone love the navy bag.

HappyGirlNow · 17/06/2016 08:17

Love the blue bag everyone so much I've ordered it! Still another 28 in stock Grin

Just ordered these Raye sandals - what do you all think??

Waiting on this Gucci belt to get re-delivered by UPS today.. Really wanted a tan version of the slim double G one (the black is lovely) but they only do tan/brown one with multi coloured crystals on it.. Hope the cat head isn't too much!

Longislandicetee · 17/06/2016 09:00

Morning all! I haven't done much sales spending. In fact my usual Selfridges spree didn't happenShock.

I went to a fantastic black tie event last night and wore a black and white Coast dress which i last wore 8 years ago! I also wore my beautiful new Aquazzura shoes. I am normally so matchy matchy that it wouldn't have occurred to me before to wear red shoes. So big thanks to the MNVers who got numerous pictures of me in dresses at 6.30am and didn't even comment that it was odd.Grin

Blair I was thinking of you the other day as I wore my j crew Campbell trousers. They are US size 00 and are a good fit for me. I am 25" waist so looking at their size chart I ought to be a 0 (that's what 25" waist corresponds to) which sounds right but I wanted a snug fit. I do think they get their measurements right because I am an xxs in tops there which is 31.5" bust in their size chart and that's right. Hope that helps!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 17/06/2016 09:30

Thanks so much Blingy! I ordered the 6 as I am 28" waist, then read reviews saying that the cotton ones sometimes stretch. I'll just have to hope that they are either fine or that a 4 is still in stock if I need it. Your outfit last night sounds fab :)

Happy really like the sandals! And love that you bought the blue bag lol.

libertydoddle · 17/06/2016 11:28

Quick work on the bag happy!! It's lovely. Sandals look good. I can't do ankle straps at all and heels getting harder. I have weird feet. I wore heels for a meeting where I was standing and presenting for a couple of hours this week and got really bad cramp in my left foot. Luckily I had flats in my bag.

Welcome paused and well done J Crew.

shopafrolic · 17/06/2016 11:40

So the striped dress is ENORMOUS. Well done to the Outnet for claiming it is TTS Hmm. Sending back and requesting a XS (I am a size 12!)
Yes Paused and all the other lovely delurkers - do stick around.
Tempted by another Sensi Studio hats - but how many does a Voguette need (particularly when it won't stop raining!)

BerniceBobsHerHair · 17/06/2016 11:58

That is a nice bag Everyone. Love the colour.

Like your sandals purchase Happy but they would not suit me - heels plus ankle strap not a good combo like Lib.

Lovely outfit Blingy and good some MNVers were on hand to help.

Fedup are you interested in the block heel whistles ghillie sandals that I bought and linked a while back? These. As if so I have seen them in a size 4 v reduced so let me know and I can PM you!

I am thinking of jumping on the red shoe bandwagon with the office loafers - Dry are they tts? Comfy?

Let me know how you get on with the white ones Topaz

Thankme has been working for years as a J crew code, not an exaggeration. Maybe they have finally realised!

I've bought a few things pre sales with codes, just high street stuff:
Warehouse dress
Topshop sandals
I'm all set for summer with those 2, if it ever comes
Gap trousers
Monsoon dress - QueenC I think you linked this for me ages ago.

I have had a look at the NAP sale but going to wait for 70% I think. I do love most of the Madewell stuff on there.

What is everyone wearing in this dismal weather? I am wearing old denim sleeveless jumpsuit - but feeling very inappropriately dressed. Yesterday I was in long sleeved dress with sandals, and got soaked.

Stokey · 17/06/2016 12:04

We're going camping this afternoon

Storms predicted. I'm wearing Stans, cropped flares and hoody. Taking denim cut-offs, flip flops and waterproofs. Wish me luck!

Like the red ghillies Fedup, like the flat ones Shop & I have.

And welcome new posters, do stay

Everyonelovessparkles · 17/06/2016 13:09

I bought the bag! How could I not after it got the MN seal of approval Grin

Dreamqueen · 17/06/2016 14:28

My Stans have arrived, the 4.5 are a perfect fit. lately my leather converse have been really hurting my toes so these will fill the white trainer gap in my wardrobe.

i've been trying to avoid any sale shopping but did a little holiday shoe order from office:
these beach shoes
These for daytime holiday wear
and these beauties I've already got these in black & they're really comfortable.

I'm loving all the links & fab buys.

Good luck at the camping Stokey the forecast is quite good for the weekend so you might be lucky with the weather.

HappyGirlNow · 17/06/2016 16:19

Love the red loafers bernice

Despite saying I was now avoiding the sales, I have actually done some shopping other than the sandals and bag everyone linked to.. I think I'm in denial Grin

I bought these from Topshop -

black loafers

taupe loafers

Love them both! The taupe ones are a bit tight but hoping they give as sold out in next size up..

Also bought these mules and love them too!

Everyonelovessparkles · 17/06/2016 18:18

Hope the weather is better where you are stokey as we've just had 45mins of torrential rain.

You are on fire happy Grin

Just ordered this in navy and white, it's two for the price of one right? Wink
leather bracelets

FedupNagging · 17/06/2016 18:26

Lots of lovely links today and lots of purchases - keep it up ladies!

Glad you got the bag Everyone, it's really nice.

Gorgeous nude heels Happy and love the Topshop loafers too.

Dream fab purchases. I don't need anymore sandals this year but am definitely going for a birkenstock style next summer and those office one's are a great summer holiday colour.

Blingy your outfit last night sounds tres chic.

Shop shame about the dress - it's really nice so hope the size down is in stock. Sounds like you had a lovely day yesterday being pampered let me know if your friend needs a new bff to practice on Grin

Bernice thanks for the offer, I really don't need anymore shoes-size 4 would probably be a bit small anyway. Love the monsoon dress.

Stokey am keeping everything crossed that the weather is kind to you this weekend If not, drink lots of Wine and you won't care!

libertydoddle · 17/06/2016 19:40

everyone definitely 2 for 1. That's a great bracelet.

Bernice love that warehouse dress. Will look great with the topshop sandals.

happy you are going for it!! I really like those taupe loafers. Are they comfy?

I had a TK Maxx spree today. Going to see if I can find links.

MarshaBrady · 17/06/2016 19:41

hello! Have had a busy week, went out last night with a friend, was great fun. We always go to the same place in Kensington and order the same thing (pretty much). So good.

Haven't looked at the sales much yet, need to rectify!

HappyGirlNow · 17/06/2016 20:32

They are snug lib and I've only worn them to try them on for size but they're soft and think they'll be fine once they stretch a bit Grin

I need some help pls? I NEED a pair of cropped back flared jeans as channelled here by the gorgeous RHW.. I've checked Topshop, Zara.. Anyone seen them anywhere preferably for under £50?
