I am on the hunt for a deep chestnut pair of pull on calf length boots.

Anyone seen anything decent?

Also what is up with Toast this year?

@ turquoise -
These boots can be made to your calf size www.tedandmuffy.com/womens-boots/knee-high/black-leather/huntsman/TMB11420.html?dwvar_TMB11420_color

I want a nice, plain tan leather bag - a big handbag or smaller tote - without any garish branding or gold zips (must be silver or concealed!).

I can't afford designer prices.

If anyone happens across one, please report back!

Oooh JemandScout that is exactly the right colour, if only the cut was a bit more like this one. Excellent site.

JemandScout · 08/08/2017 20:43

Oops, I see Formentra has already suggested that company. Blush

MaryLennoxsScowl · 08/08/2017 20:48

I want a rust-coloured velvet pencil skirt. I just woke up thinking about one the other day. Just past the knee, lined, with a little split in the back hem.

Come on ladies I need a summary of autumn style 😀

XiCi · 08/08/2017 21:20

tentomidnight I'm also on a quest for the exact dress you have described so please post back if you find it!!

Tentomidnight · 08/08/2017 21:24

XiCi I will do.. the closest I've seen was one I stupidly didn't buy from Phase Eight last year because I hate the brand

@34aquid www.riverisland.com/p/khaki-and-brown-suede-winged-tote-bag-702508 possible contender but might be a bit fussier than you wanted. I have a few bags from River Island and like them

Alicekeach · 08/08/2017 21:36

I already own the Huntsman boots . Can't wait for autumn so I can wear them. Smile

XiCi · 08/08/2017 21:37

tentomidnight this is the closest I've found so far. Hasn't got the 3/4 sleeves though www.mintvelvet.co.uk/product/black-cocoon-jersey-dress/9100

34AQuid · 08/08/2017 21:38

Jem - thats lovely...and I have a 50 quid River Island gift voucher sitting in my drawer. Unbelievable! Grin.

I'm still lusting after something leather, not suede, though. But I think I'll have that one, too. Thank you Grin.

JemandScout · 08/08/2017 21:43

You're welcome 34 Wink

JemandScout · 08/08/2017 22:01

I love this dress www.warehouse.co.uk/gb/new-in/stripe-twist-belt-dress/030159.html?dwvar_030159_color=75&cgid=new_in_top_nav&position=60 I imagine it with a longline chunky knit cardi and knee high boots. I think it might be a tad short though

JemandScout · 08/08/2017 22:05

www.riverisland.com/p/grey-faux-fur-collar-swing-coat-702165 I like this coat without the furry collar.

Floisme · 08/08/2017 22:10

This is the kind of coat I'd like but in tweed and in a women's size 8-10!

FlorenceLyons · 08/08/2017 22:27

I have these boots in brown leather and adore them. I've had them for years, and they were nowhere near that price when I bought them Shock I'd better make sure I look after them!

I've just bought this top and this skirt from Toast. I like a bit of Amish Smile

Tentomidnight · 08/08/2017 22:33

XiCi that dress is lovely! May have to buy try it whilst continuing the hunt for one with sleeves..

JemandScout · 08/08/2017 22:46

@floisme this is the nearest I can find www.toa.st/uk/product/womens+new+collection/c0ibh/boucle+tweed+coat.htm?categoryref=%2fcategory.aspx%3fcategoryid%3dwomens%2520new%2520collection%26seoterm%3dwomens%2520new%2520collection%26&pcat=womens+new+collection&adimage=&clr=C0IBH_BlackGrey_sw DH has one similar to your link from All Saints. Might be worth looking to see if they have one in the women's section from All Saints later in the year

LilaoftheGreenwood · 08/08/2017 22:49

Oooooh I like that coat (although it wasn't what I was originally thinking of).

I'm liking the Amish and getting a bit excited about the other your own clothes thread on here now. Surely a denim A-line is something I could do...

LilaoftheGreenwood · 08/08/2017 22:50

Other your own clothes? Confused sew your own clothes

QueenoftheAndals · 08/08/2017 22:52

A pair of calf length or ankle boots that aren't too wide at the top bad don't look like boats on my feet. Not
holding out much hope of finding them Angry
