Hush A/W 18 - the one where Hush no longer wants to be our friend.....

[Nearlyadoctor]

New thread Hushita’s...

never I will bring them to my tailor and discuss with her (she is the one who shortened both pairs). No sense in leaving them unworn and could look nice with a loose navy jumper.

In my classroom I have a bag containing various cardigans (from light to heavy), scarves, hats, gloves etc. I leave a raincoat, a puffa and a light jacket hanging up for yard duty so I can cover all weather eventualities. Usually I start the day with several layers until the body heat and central heating kick in!

Adding to that the fact that I am peri-menopausal, despite being on HRT I still can't handle anything too heavy or with a too-high neck. I have some gorgeous jumpers from All Saints and Me & Em that I can wear for about 20 mins before coming out in a heat rash. Still, though, I cannot be parted from them.

Mint velvet have some nice skirts this season - a red and black leopard print one in particular. Also I just read Doesmybumlook40's latest blog and she writes about pencil skirts. I have a couple of knee-length jersey skirts somewhere in the wardrobe and I am thinking of ways to add them to my current clothes on rotation.

oh!!! My burgundy DM-alikes from M&S arrived today. I have not tried them on yet but they look gorgeous and are low sold out in my size so I am glad I did not hang on in the hopes of a UK Bank Holiday 20% offer.

Is anyone else finding orders taking forever to arrive? Ordered two Tina dresses + the leopard / black parka on the 15th and it's still showing as processing also the parka seems to have been removed from my order page and it looks like its now out of stock in my size.

On another note has anyone else noticed supermarkets are getting very hush-esque this season? I was looking back at orders from 2016 and dear god they have increased their prices massively. Don't get me wrong I still love them for things you can't find elsewhere, but its interesting to see Asda, Tesco and the likes bringing out similar products at literally a tenth of the price.

Thomlin Exactly. I think hush are taking the piss with their knitwear. I sawa a gorgeous star jumper in Tescos in dark grey stars with pale grey background. Off to look at it tomorrow. So cheap. Also next has some dupes.

Thomlin previous posters mentioned that if items are on back-order they are holding the entire order until all items are in stock. that may explain the delay? I ordered last night and already got a shipping notice but everything was in stock. I would definitely give them a call given that the parka is no longer visible in your order page :(

I have noticed the cheaper retailer supping their game the past year or two, yes. Dunnes Stores is my local supermarket chain and by golly have they raised the bar in terms of their own clothes as well as designer labels (mostly Irish designers but really lovely stuff).
i like that George sweater more than the Hush one I think!

I always pay the £6 for delivery as i like to know when my parcel comes. Its annoying though as i was a hush friend but it seems no one is anymore.

@Thomlin which parka have you ordered? I was going to order the Britt parka bit if it's not being processed I'll wait and order from JL.

never that sounds lovely, just tried to pop online to browse but noticed they've closed their online store so I'll be planning a trip this weekend to browse!

miffy thank you, it was definitely in stock when I ordered but could be their stock was wrong and that's the issue, i've filled in the contact form so will see what happens.

Ella Its in stock in all sizes. I just checked. I don't see why it wouldn't come.

Ella yep it was the britt looks like it's now oos in everything but a 6!

Look at these two from Next - love them both!

Thomlin Bit sad that F&F are not online anymore. I particularly miss buying the kids school stuff as their sizes never seem to be available in store. I think that Tesco cant be doing well.

Miffy I saw that in next the other week. Its bloody gorgeous [ the grey star one]

Take no notice of my last post i have night mode on and am clearly hallucinating 😂😂

...and its beautifully soft.

They are lovely Miffy. I'd go for it except he next line would annoy me I think. There are some good Hush style things in Next at the moment. If anyone finds a good shoe for the wide jersey top let me know!

Neck line not next line! Sorry.

Yes, Ella, I think I would have to try it out to see how the neck feels on. I have €15 off a €75 spend and I could get the two of them for €60, so way less than one Hush sweater!

A good shoe lol.... do you mean a good shop? That was so funny!!

..and sadly it took me a good few minutes to think about what you meant hee hee...Its late.

I meant dupe not shoe!
It's late.. I'm tired and had a few glasses of bubbly tonight with tea out celebrating with DS.
Got to work tomorrow so I should really go to sleep but I feel a bit hyped up still.

Ah pleased your ds got good grades :)

I'm glad I am not at work tomorrow. Going to work a bit from home though and do a bit of lounging!!! I appreciate not working every day. [although i would be much better off if i did!]

Has anyone asked about what has happened to Hush friends? I may email them if no one has..

I've placed my order. Brit Parka, petrol blue Star Biker Sweat, zebra Meg ruched skirt and the ivy green wide jersey top. Standard delivery says it'll be here by Wednesday next week. I was going to order the Amie jeans in black but then gave myself a reality check as skinny black jeans are two a penny and I definitely shouldn't pay £75 for another pair.
Unsure about the biker sweat, it's the colour I like so if the style isn't right or it's scratchy it'll be going back.

@Laska5772 I've never been a friend but I bet it has something to do with the release of the new autumn launch and the 10% discount, I suspect it'll come back once the discount expires!
