I've just had this jumper arrive which I was all set to send back (ordered a bit too much online recently Blush) but just couldn't, loved the colour, feel and fit, perfect for this time of year.

Beautiful petroleum velvet jacket. Great with, fitted long sleeve tshirt, jeans and my trainers.

A leather dress reduced from £250 to £60. It's a style that suits my shape, so I snapped it up. Haven't worn it yet.

Some Michael Kors trainer reduced from £140 to £70.

Camel wool coat. Vintage find on eBay for £15 inc postage! I Think I might get it taken up an inch or 2 but so happy with it

Barbayagar · 08/10/2018 18:32

Links if possible! Obviously excluding vintage finds. I love the velvet jacket from Massimodutti.

Lovely things!

I got a Fossil watch recently, which I'm v pleased with. Also some silver earrings, which are just straight lines. Love them!

This cotton/yak hair top from Muji inspired by the japanese style thread. It's gorgeously soft & half way between a t-shirt & jumper weight, so I'm hoping will be ideal for this time of year.

Grey 100% cashmere chester coat for £23 from Ebay. This jumper from &Other stories, its so soft and cosy. These chunky Dr Martens - had a 20% off code.

Laska5772 · 08/10/2018 19:54

these snuggly mid-weight jumpers in both the orange and the black /ivory . Believe me the web pictures do Not do them justice!

The black/ ivory is gorgeous smoky mix and the orange a lovely mottled colour, and so, so soft.. Definitely worth every penny

Tartan stiletto heeled ankle boots from M&S. They are fabulous.

I don't know what it is, must be the change in seasons, I've bought some new Tommy Hilfiger distressed skinnies, a new pair of black Hilfiger skinnies, four different Boden silky type tops, and a pair of black suede Hudson boots.

Thr tops were on account of I keep wearing the same style of long sleeve t shirts, with jeans, with work trousers, I have no idea why. So I decided time to dress better, and the tops would do me with jeans or with work trousers.

So of course then I bought new jeans. Sigh.

MinesaPinot · 08/10/2018 22:51

I had a giftcard from Rigby & Peller which I've had for ages, so went and got fitted and bought 3 bras. Absolutely fabulous, so comfortable and give me a much better shape.

Also popped into New Look at the weekend and picked up a couple of bargains in their sale - this jumpsuit www.newlook.com/uk/womens-sale/black-geometric-border-print-wrap-jumpsuit-/p/596087009?comp=Browse
which I have to say looks far smarter on that it does in the picture - it's more black/cream than black/white - looks great with black or gold strappy sandals (I've bought it for an evening party)

Also a black sequin t-shirt from New Look (link not working) which will be great for our department Christmas party with black skinnies (it's very informal). Got an extra 20% off the sale prices as well, so under £20 for the two.

Charlottesshoezzzz · 08/10/2018 22:52

@Bluejeanz ...thanks 👍🏻I don't usually do flat boots, but this year I decided I wanted some flats that were effortlessly stylish without looking to made up.

I found them for £130 from (£15 cheaper than ugg store ) .....

www.annadavies.co.uk/mobile/ugg-bonham-ii-casual-boot-in-chipmunk/p9989

Also M&M direct have them for about £85 in a dark grey colour Total bargain : ) I wanted them in brown though!

sittingonacornflake · 08/10/2018 22:56

@AhAgain I have these boots. In black too. Bought them last year when they were £58 full price. Love them.

AnneLovesGilbert · 08/10/2018 22:57

Can I share a make up one? I love mascara and it’s one of the only make up things I tart around for as I’m wedded to my other bits. On a whim I tried MUA mascara, £2 from Superdrug, it’s AMAZING. Super black, looks spikes but very soft lashes, lasts all day and night and comes off easily.

Bluejeanz · 08/10/2018 22:58

I really wish you hadn’t posted that link *Charlotte! How are you styling them? Are you doing the rolled up jeans and a flasj of bare leg look or something different. I can’t bring myself to do that bit of bare leg .... brrrrrrrrr 🙄

MorrisZapp · 08/10/2018 23:04

Yes I love the Uggs too but would love to know how jeans sit on them? I can't do a bare ankle.

Charlottesshoezzzz · 08/10/2018 23:16

@MorrisZapp I will do a pic of how they sit with my skinny jeans for you : )

@Bluejeanz I can't do bare ankles / no socks either either.... brrrr no way. I was concerned how they would sit with jeans as I've never had this style before but they sit lovely ... they look better with thicker type skinny jeans as they fill the bottom of the boot more if you get my drift, I'm going to wear them with jeans tucked in .... pic to follow for you lovelies : )
