I've ordered the Kensington Never. Glad you kept it in the end! Annoyed as it's OOS now on hush so didn't get the discount and JL only had a 10, my summer one is an 8 so I'll see. Also ordered the melody floral dress, green wide jersey top and the stripe boxy tee in black with the multi stripe, pair of cuff earrings and crystal wrap bracelet.
''Tis payday after all Wink

Well. I love the silver kensington. I dont like the red. Im sure it will look great on you😀

neveradullmoment99 · 31/08/2018 22:56

I was the same. I ordered mine fron JL

neveradullmoment99 · 31/08/2018 22:57

I like the melody but not sure about it on me. Its a pretty print. Can you post a picture when it comes? Would love to see it on in R L

GinandGingerBeer · 31/08/2018 23:28

Will do!

AFingerofFudge · 01/09/2018 06:31

ginger I'll be interested to see the Melody floral too.

Early doors for me again this morning for work Hmm not something I relish after a nightshift!
Hoping my order comes today, if so will post pictures later. Have a good day all!

..and other Stories ...Look , I dont need another shopping site ! has anyone bought from them ? What is quality and sizing like?

No more things delivered from anywhere , although i have finally had an email from Gap.. i just think their notification system might just be a bit rubbish because i have checked and my jeans are in the island already .. Hush haven't answered me re the Hush friends so i think they hate me now.. M&S stuff cardis and dress is on pick up so will be next week.

Right we are off on a Naice Day Out.. meeting old friends we haven't seen in a while at a NT house heck how did i get old enough that that is what I started doing at the weekends, rather than going down the pub with mates ?

Need to decide what Hush thing to wear to look cool and casual and comfy or walking about in gardens etc and will slightly impress old friend with my style ....Grin

Laska5772 · 01/09/2018 08:01

... and so I dont look like an old duffer having a Naice Day out ....

Talisin · 01/09/2018 08:33

Laska avoid beige!

Looks like my Emanuelle(s) will be delivered today but it’s unlikely anyone will be in to receive the parcel Hmm Oh well, I was expecting to get it on Monday anyway so can’t complain too much.

starlight36 · 01/09/2018 09:00

Thanks SoyYo for the advice re:Emmanuelle fitting. I'm avoiding for now as think the 12 may be too tight across my bust and the 14 too big. I'll wait for the kids to go back to school and head to John Lewis to try it on so I can avoid a double order and save the hit to the credit card!
I've satisfied my itch for Hush purchasing instead by ordering the Alexis frill t-shirt. I've been wearing my linen star cut out top from last season quite a bit with jeans or chinos and heels when I've wanted to look a bit smarter than my usual t-shirt and shorts /dress and flip flops do am hoping this might be a suitable Autumn equivalent.

Laska5772 · 01/09/2018 09:12

Star shorts ( with jeans in car as back up ) magenta slub T and grey / blue pink stripe Brigitte jumper.. navy salties

Same old .. has been a bit of a summer uniform.. Grin

SoyYo · 01/09/2018 09:33

Morning! Not a lot planned for the weekend other than holiday preparations (flying Wed eve for 3 weeks in Spain, yeayyyy) including visit to beautician this am to get bikini ready.
laska have a fab day out
never really good call on keeping the Kensington
huff the sweat looks really great and the wide top is lovely. Loving the Other Stories coats and links

I received the ASOS leather boots wide fit and really pleased, keeping.
I can only try on the non broken foot but really roomy. Much cheaper than Hush though I’m sure the Hush version is softer leather and more luscious I’m happy with these dupes

Nearlyadoctor · 01/09/2018 09:36

Starlight I haven’t found the Emmanuel tight across the bust, I’m a 10 top everywhere except Hush and could nearly have got away with a 6 except a very slight gape. The 8 is perfect.
Thanks Never for the moon necklace link - it’s perfect to with the Emmanuel if a little bit delicate particularly the chain. I prefer Hultquist but love it just the same.

SoyYo · 01/09/2018 09:37

Boots in case anyone with kipperfeet is lusting after a Hush dupe they were reduced to £48
Ignore the white inside one it’s just the cardboard packaging and leather is okay for the money

SoyYo · 01/09/2018 09:40

star yes best to try at JL as nearly says usually we need to size up for button styles

Btw fingers crossed I’ll get my Hush parcel today. Will report back!

SoyYo · 01/09/2018 09:42

Sorry didn’t read right...nearly you sized down in the Emmanuelle?
Must be my boobs then...but I haven’t tried this seasons so maybe different fit...

neveradullmoment99 · 01/09/2018 09:55

Well brewing a cold here for sure :( Have a ton of stuff to do for work but I need time to myself so for today, work can wait. Off to Next to see if I can pick up some reasonably priced blue skinny jeans.
Nearly I agree about the necklace being delicate. I was thinking that as I put it back into the box. Lovely with a dress though and I suppose that's the beauty of it. Soyo Those boots are gorgeous and well worth the money :) Laska I cant believe you are still in shorts!!! I was just this morning pulling those shorts from my airer thinking that they will be going away now for next summer. Its raining here. Very overcast but it is meant to dry up later. Not meant to be sunny though and definitely looks like the rain is here to stay today. The weather is meant to get better though.
Dunnes scarf came today :)

Thank you ladies for the codes/offers. I have decided to put another order on the back burner for now as I have bought way too much. As a PP said, the season has just started and I need to apply that 'don't buy a coat too early' rule to everything.

I have recently bought
2 pairs of boots
1 pair of pumps
1 pair of hush trainers (brandalley)
2 sweaters (Tesco, hush)
1 longline sweatshirt cardigan (H&M)
1 hush military jacket
1 wide jersey top
1 pair leopard leggings
1 leopard skirt (asos - may return this)

So yeah, enough for now!

Gilbert82 · 01/09/2018 10:32

My order is waiting to be collected from the post office! Excited to pick it up Smile
Hope everyone has a lovely Saturday!

miffy2 · 01/09/2018 10:33

I have lots of jumpers form & Other Stories. they seem quite generous in size so I take a medium for a slightly over-sized look. They wash so well too.
Their earrings and other accessories are fab and really original. I also have a gorgeous little leather bag and the quality is excellent.

Where I have had issues is with dresses. They simply don't cater for boobs. I have tried their biggest size at times and still struggle to get them to fit. OK I am broad-shouldered and have a 32GG chest but I can wear a small or Medium in Hush and would be a 12/14 in most shops so it is frustrating.

I find their deliveries OK but their returns are very slow (and up until recently neither were free).

neveradullmoment99 · 01/09/2018 10:58

First outing of kensington yikes

Hush A/W 18 - Can't think of anything snazzy..its all about the clothes innit!
Ellapaella · 01/09/2018 11:01

Morning all. I've just ordered the wooden hoop earrings a la Never & Huff while the 10% discount is still working. And I have money in my PayPal balance so y'know it's free really isn't it? 
@neveradullmoment99 I have to say that it's been warm and sunny here in Newcastle this week, I've been in shorts and t shirts a couple of days. But the evenings and mornings are definitely chillier now and I've all of a sudden we can't do evening dog walks on the beach because it's dark by 8.30.
I had a lovely day out with DC yesterday so it's a boring housework and odd jobs day for me today.

Ellapaella · 01/09/2018 11:02

Looking good Never

neveradullmoment99 · 01/09/2018 11:06

Well with the rain I was tempted to change. However, I cba to change and I do love it.
I didn't really want to wear my raincoat over it. But it is pissing so may have to change my coat :(
Im wearing the hush military from summer though with it.

neveradullmoment99 · 01/09/2018 11:07

...That's the thing about living here. Everything you wear is under a bloody mac!!!
