Will do laska I only really swear when I lose my temper, which though explosive doesn’t happen often, I used to be a thrower of things which was pretty costly & not a nice thing to do😳

Len I saw some lovely navy trousers today in Phase 8.
@AFingerofFudge re the Cos jumper I'm not sure as I just picked it up off the hanger in store, they had a few in a similar cut but this wasn't wool it was more a felt like material (bloody gorgeous!)
I was in JL - Oasis have a beautiful faux leather biker jacket like @neveradullmoment99's for £54, really lovely in the same burgundy colour.
Hush was disappointing in the JL B'ham, not a great selection at all and hardly any sizes in anything.

@ella I would love you to be my personal shopper! You have such a good eye for things.

EachandEveryone · 10/10/2018 11:07

Well, im back in work this week just six hours a shift and, guess what? On Friday i have to wear clothes! Not blue scrubs. Oh, im in the office all day. Ive never worked in the office and tbh i would be happy if i did it for the rest of my life. No more nights. So, i wonder what i should wear? Its itu so gets warm.

Laska5772 · 10/10/2018 11:29

I'm never quite sure about Cos but have never seen it in real life. Musthave a look next time I am in That London..

Laska5772 · 10/10/2018 11:33

Wearing burgundy Ivy today , with leopard leggings ( dyed burgundy) and boots. Bit overdressed tbh summer seems to have returned here these last few days. ( Bet it won't last until the weekend)

Ellapaella · 10/10/2018 11:53

@zippyswife it would be my dream job Smile
That looks the right Cos jumper. It's 20 odd degrees here in B'ham today, can't keep up with all the wardrobe swapping! Back to the summer stuff again...

Topsyturvey10 · 10/10/2018 13:42

Do any of you Hush experts know of any jeans that are similar to the Holly? I asked and they are no longer available and Brandalley doesn't have my size.

I wish I had got 2 pairs now🤦🏼‍♀️ I could do with black, inky blue and a pale blue.

AFingerofFudge · 10/10/2018 15:18

zippy thank you!! Think I might be taking a closer look at that one!

ilovecherries · 10/10/2018 15:40

I’m a bit Hmm. I finally bit the bullet and sold all my plus size cashmere, as it had gone way past anything that could be called a slouchy fit. Got a reasonable amount for it, ordered two v neck jumpers from Boden. It was on its way back within the hour. It was SO stiff and scratchy, I actually checked I hadn’t ordered some sort of wool mix by mistake. The Boden ones I sold were maybe 5 years old, and so soft and sort of ‘bouncy’ to touch.

@ilovecherries try Woolovers for cashmere, I have two jumpers from there that I've had for years and the quality is excellent.

Laska5772 · 10/10/2018 18:33

cherries I thought the relaxed v cashmeres from Boden were not as good last year . I have 2 from the year before and they are so soft and have worn and washed so well ,then I bought a black one last year and it is nice but has never got as soft as the original ones .. Luckily as i have yo yo'd all mine seem to fit me still every winter !

i wandered into a local 'naice' independent shop this lunch time (always a £££ danger zone!). came out with some lovely Tamaris Vanni ankle boots only mine a black suede which I cant find on line £60 which i thought was fine (although I do really like those black and plum ones shown). and a gorgeous over-the top Ted Baker wrap which will go with everything and esp will be great for our Danish niece's a wedding we are going to next spring .. Its not silk btw , TB website is a bit misleading there Hmm

Missbobbins · 10/10/2018 18:34

Ladies - since when did strapless pants become a thing? I was looking for hush on eBay and this came up... WTAF?

What have I missed? 😂

neveradullmoment99 · 10/10/2018 18:52

Lovely little boots @laska and the wrap is very nice too.

neveradullmoment99 · 10/10/2018 18:53

I got an all saints pair of biker boots from brand alley for £60 odd quid including postage. They were very hard to put on but have been wearing them for two days and have softened. they were nearly £200 originally!

GinandGingerBeer · 10/10/2018 18:56

What fresh hell is that for round your nether regions @Missbobbins Grinyikes!
I'm so skint st the moment & it's 3 eeeks to pay day. Boo Sad So I'm trying not to spend.

zippyswife · 10/10/2018 19:19

@never which boots did you get? I’ve just seen the most beautiful all saints pair on brand alley bu it says out of stock... do you think it’s worth me obsessively checking for returns??

neveradullmoment99 · 10/10/2018 19:48

I got these but they dont seem to have them any more.

zippyswife · 10/10/2018 19:54

Oh never they are beautiful. These are the ones I’ve just fallen for

www.brandalley.co.uk/16005768.html
But out of stock! I’ve found them here

www.pleuroservices.co.uk/Discounted-AllSaints-DONITA-Laceup-boots-oxblood-red-Leather-Womens-Shoes-A0Q11N00DG11/p_2190/

But not sure if it’s a legit site? I’ve never heard of it. Not sure whether to risk it?

Laska5772 · 10/10/2018 19:54

Ilikes the these OOs ones
Also Brand alley have my [[https://www.brandalley.co.uk/15698121.html Ash boots ]], like Ziggy boots. Much cheaper than I paid

Do you think my Tamaris are a bit boring never TBH?. I liked them (but I am old , and having a bit of an 'old lady' day perhaps? ..

dontcallmelen · 10/10/2018 20:03

Laska sorry no luck with the vests😢
I did get a couple of things from Zara though, a leopard print & lace edged silky vest, which is lined as well for 19.99 & a black silky top with a cowl neck really nice weight also 19.99 will post pics tomorrow.
Topshop also had a short fur jacket, in a beautiful sea green for 69.00 ‘twas a thing of beauty.
never those boots are fab also like your boots Laska & scarf is very pretty.
