Who'd have thunk the Levi's upsizing is the thing most people would be latching onto on this thread. I actually did a mini challenge of no jeans for the past week which was quite enjoyable as it forced me to look at my own wardrobe a little differently as it has become quite jean centric. I found some great casual combos that I'd otherwise probably wouldn't have thought of. I'm going to try an all skirts and dresses challenge for the coming week.
Grumpy, I did try to spot some pregnant Parisians whilst there but I hardly saw any. The ones I did see just wore the same things as any other Parisian. I did, rather silly, finally figure out that the 1 + 1 = 3 store is actually a maternity store
This is their website : www.1et1font3.com/ they currently have an extra 10% off on the sales, maybe there's something for you there. Admittedly, I've only seen it through the store window and it pretty much looked like normal French clothing with a bit of room for a bump. I used to remember there was a brand Formes, but I think that wasn't French at all, think it got renamed.
I've been curious about the BP skincare offerings, not that it's available to me and I have heavy resistance to the membership model. Will look forward to hear your thoughts though, Sock.
banana, when you get to baggy arse stage you need to persevere and go up one more size, that's how it was with me anyhow.
Funnily enough I've been uhming and ahing over a Chantelle bra, it's really lovely and delicate lace but it's white. As mentioned before, I find white underwear a bit odd and bridal. I've found it in other colours online but the white is half price, I may just have to bite the bullet and embrace a bit of white, it actually did look quite nice against my skin tone. I also like that Irresistable push up, banana, the balcony version is terrible for me though.
cactus, I'm probably a bit useless as I pretty much use ox gall soap for everything, I have no clue if that is widely available globally but it's the best stain remover I know, especially with grease, even if it's settled in after a wash. I use the ecover version of oxi vanish for anything that needs whitening and vinegar is always a good stanby. Weetabix is just crumbs and milk though, right? Quick handwash with delicate soap (I have Dr. Bronner's or Ecover) should sort it.
Amethyst, cactus is in Australia, one of the rare places Everlane ships internationally to for reasons I do not understand
. I did plug Everlane into eBay and found some interesting bits, looking at a beautiful yellow washed silk shirt. I was yearning for a bit of yellow, the darker egg yolk/mustard suits me well (think it's a neutral dark hair thing as it's a notoriously difficult colour). Can't make up my mind on the sizing though as I like it a bit roomy but if it's like most US brands my size would probably already be roomy, how do the sizes compare to euro brands, cactus and others who own a bit of Everlane?
