Hush ‘n’ Other Stuff

[ilovecherries]

New thread.

winter woollen not wooden

whitney i don’t think so as it’s brand new in the website today

Soy that skirt is lovely really suits you, can’t believe I missed it jumper is great to & definitely should fare better with bamboo in the mix

Popped up to the side of MN and caught my eye ... think I'd prefer without fancy neckline, but love the colours and pattern!

Thanks melen the pic doesn’t do it justice as fabric has nice ribbed effect and it’s nicely hemmed and lined.
whitney it’s a great fairisle pattern and looks super cozy. Boden also used to do lovely fairisle jumpers and 100% wool, haven’t checked this year but if you’re after something similar may be worth a look on their website as they have 25% off till Thursday

My mum having surgery later today Def broken hip :(

Actually I’ve had a look whitney and they’re a bit meh this season

Past seasons patterns were much better.
Hush version is far superior at least in looks...

Not great when you are 93

Oh laska you must all be quite anxious, at her age it’s dreadful.

Soy love the skirt and jumper on you definitely winners. I'm hoping that puffa is good will have to choose between the Boden one and it though

Yes not great. Fingers crossed ..

Yes laska 🤞🤞🤞
I’ll keep distracting you with fashion...wish we’d get our leopards today to take your mind off if only for a little while.
Stay positive

Laska sorry to hear that hoping the surgery goes well, sending big hug & lots of love.

And thank you for the kind comment. I’m still carrying a pesky 1/2 stone extra weight (all in boobs and middle!) since January that I can’t be motivated for long enough to shift...that’s why I’m avoiding too much volume in clothes and another reason to hope the fur coat will not make me look like melen proverbial honey monster so I was quite pleased with the sleek qualities of the frill skirt.
I have the snow Sosander coat coming too so I’ll compare with the Boden leopard fur and share pics so we can decide together.
But if they’re not perfect and make me feel great back they’ll go.
I’d really love a new winter coat that makes me feel wow!

Soy yy a wow winter coat, makes all the difference in the cold & dark days of a long winter, also to blooming expensive for something to sit in the wardrobe just staring at you balefully, says she who has half a wardrobe full of stuff that is rarely worn.
The black lace up boots I bought from M&S are definitely being gifted to dd, they make me look like a very short, slightly demented stormtrooper.

Hope everything goes ok for your mum, laska. Poor woman.

If returning more than one order in the same package, is it normal for there to be a delay in processing one? I rarely do it as it caused a big kerfuffle the last time with something going unaccounted for, and it’s happened again. Two items from the same order refunded on Sunday, but two other items haven’t been. I feel I’ve complained so much recently, I don’t want to be chasing it up if that’s standard, although can’t think of any reason why both wouldn’t be done at the same time. Boden and Sosander always do them together.

Also pissed off that green wide top has been worn twice, very gently, not even washed yet and is so bobbly it looks crap. Tempted to send the charcoal one back as it’s unworn and tell them I don’t want it. AND, why do they offer exchanges when they don’t actually read what you want. Twice now they’ve done that. Feeling disenchanted with them.

Haha, they heard me! Just got the second refund.

Have just tried leopard jacket in H &M .it's really nice but not quite what I wanted sleeves v wide and lapels a bit big for my norkage. Comes up big ... worth a look though
You seem to be unlucky with wide tops cherries mine have worn and washed really well no bobbling as yet..

Argh link fail. It's faux fur leopard jacket from H&M £69.99 . I also bought one of their William Morris print long shirt dress es in navy

Hush free delivery code sent . Winter18 (a bit mean of them imo)
soy just had text.. Boden parcel is waiting for me at home!!

cherries how annoying! At least you got your refunds sorted
melen sorry your shoes weren’t any good but at least it looks like they found a deserving new owner

laska interesting on the H&M fur alternative to Hush and Boden.
Maybe by the time my coats arrive I’ll be past trying to channel my inner Bet Lynch or whatever she’s called (not a Coronation St fan here)
But but the colour is also important and the ratio of spots vs camel background shade (not to mention the cut, fur quality and potential fabulousness)

I did see a leopard fur coat in Zara Spain last month similar £ to the H&M but it was massive and made me look like an a try hard idiot...
I fear my hunt for the perfect fur coat will go on forever...
Bear with me! 🤣

laska exciting! (Just read you after posting)
Well no sign of my Boden parcel stamps foot

And I ordered before you too!
