I got this lightweight hoody from Jack Wills. It's light, but very cosy, warm and soft, love it! The colour suits me too. Weirdly I paid a bit less last week than it is currently on the site for.

GHD curling wand. Love it.

Rothy's shoes. Not sure if they're in UK yet. I've had so many compliments on them every time I wear them. And they're eco friendly and you can chuck them in the washing machine.

@Lookforthestars I love those shoes!!! I will be in the US soon and will defo order some. Are they true to size? What is a uk size 4 in the US?

Bejazzled · 06/04/2018 10:23

I would love yellow shoes!

I got a cute little Jaeger wool jacket (for the office) brand new from eBay, really pleased with that, aaand I went a little £200 lot! crazy on the Mercy Delta sample sale. I'm obsessed with their scarves.

I love those yellow Airforce 1's, have been looking for some but can't find any in my size. Where did you get them dialecticalmaterialism?
(great name by the way)

Lookforthestars · 06/04/2018 12:18

@QuantumGirl you'd be a US 6.

They do run true to size. They may not fit so well on a wide foot though.

I also want the red camo and leopard print.

Thank you so much @Lookforthestars I do have my eyes on the red one too. Oh so many choices...🙈😊

MeetieVonWrinkleSqueak · 06/04/2018 13:41

dancergirl, I have those r&b boots in the oxblood and I LOVE them Smile

BusterGonad · 06/04/2018 14:02

I love the look of the Rothys!

Lookforthestars · 06/04/2018 14:48

The Rothys are made from recycled water bottles. I've thrown my pair in the wash 5 times now and they still look like new. They're also a lot more comfy than cheaper flats. The liner comes out so I'm going to try putting a more supportive liner in.

BusterGonad · 06/04/2018 15:27

I wish they sold them in the uk, I'm moving to hotter climes soon and I'm not a lover of sandals so they'd be perfect! Sad

dialecticalmaterialism · 06/04/2018 20:10

@rightknockered I found them on amazon through a third party seller-they came from Italy. I had put some in my basket on andotherstories and went back and they'd sold out. I was disproportionately distressed and then spent an embarrassing amount of time scouring the world for them. I'll try and find a link.

Doingreat · 06/04/2018 21:13

I've been searching high and low for a nice belt bag and finally found one i loved in Guess. £55. It's so much more than i was planning to spend but i love it so much and can't wait for summer so i can wear it out and about on days out. My summer wardrobe is now complete.

For my birthday I has a maxi skirt and crossover dress both from Boden.

Dancergirl · 07/04/2018 12:06

Thanks meetie Grin

Do they come up quite big?

MeetieVonWrinkleSqueak · 07/04/2018 16:36

Glad to help dancer Grin.

I think they're reasonably true to size - at least, I'm wearing my usual size 6 and they fit fine. Maybe slightly big feeling, but the 5.5 was definitely too snug feeling.

MorningsEleven · 07/04/2018 17:13

Molton Brown shower stuff. It lasts months and smells so good.

StylishMummy · 07/04/2018 17:48

Couple of very simple long sleeve tshirts from Ralph Lauren @ Bicester village. Worked out at £24 each and they're so comfy & fit well. I'm tall and they're long enough in the body so they're not like crop tops. Very happy Grin

Strawberryfield12 · 07/04/2018 19:08

Bought these in February when they had a weekend sale, the quality is stunning and for half price - amazing.

Bought before Christmas but love my Fairfax and Favor boots.

Dancergirl · 10/04/2018 17:45

I have just ordered these as an alternative to the R&B ones:

They're patent as opposed to just shiny but I'll see what they're like.

TheFirstMrsDV · 10/04/2018 19:10

I got TWO jackets from........Morrisons!
Their clothes are pretty meh but I love these jackets.
One is a boxy leopard print suit jacket, very retro styleee.
One is a black and white chevron edge to edge jacket with frayed hem and cuffs.
£20 and £18 in the sale.
I went up a couple of sizes to get the look I wanted.

They are bloody lovely. I cant find a photo of the b&w one and the way they style the leopard print in photos is awful.
Take my word for it, they are aces.

TheFirstMrsDV · 10/04/2018 19:12

Pair of black brothel creeper style shoes in a muted leopard fabric (its like a sort of jacquard) £18 from Sainsburys.

TheFirstMrsDV · 10/04/2018 19:13

Tomato red pointy ankle boots in M&S sale, £16

FlamingGoat · 10/04/2018 21:16

A pair of dark ink straight leg jeans from Very. The fit is fantastic and they are so soft and comfy. In fact, I'm going to buy another pair as I love them so much.
