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.

Martin - I LURVE that coat, as well as many other gorgeous stuff you’ve claimed ladies! But the website says returns to Denmark! So what size are you/did you buy pls and is it true to size or should I size up/down! Nervous it won’t fit. Pls thx to the ladies who seem to know about facial bits, I realise I am sadly lacking in any facial knowledge so am looking up all these goodies!!!

Cargo eyeliner pencils, I picked up a set of four from TK Maxx because I liked the colours. And they do not budge! Eyeliner is something I have a hard time with because of my oily eyelids (L'Oréal infallible gel crayons and CYO setting our sights kohl gel eyeliners have also worked for me.) I was even more pleased because I got this set for £7 and they retail for $18 each! (Roughly £13.69.) Now I want all the other colours they do...

Sorry DilemmasAndDisasters had to move a cot to get into wardrobe to check size.

I'm a 12-14 and bought a 38.

I’ve got the Massimo Dutti velvet blazer.. in every colour (also just came on in grey) 😬

They’re gorgeous and only for dress wear so I fully expect to have them for a lifetime..

BUT just bought this and it’s amazing! Love it even more! 😍😍😍

Yes! Just what I've been looking for. Thank you

And....I just splashed out and bought Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation. Oh my goodness, it is lovely.

CharDeeMacDennis · 24/10/2018 12:03

Soooo boring, but three pairs of flannel PJs from Muji online. I ordered two and loved them so much I went back for another set. They're so soft and warm and fit perfectly (which, for some reason, Pjs often don't for me).

Also SIX pairs of uber-chunky cotton socks from the men's bit of TK Maxx. They're for wearing in the house and they feel sooo nice on my feet.

Loungewear-aholic over here Grin (also I WFH so feel justified in spending my clothing budget on the comfiest and cosiest loveliness I can fine!)

This knitted dress, it looks lovely on, much better than I expected and is a nicely thick fabric.

I tried a Biba dress on a few weeks ago, and I really liked it, but DH was wittering about me already having suitable dresses (we’re going to a family wedding).

I haven’t been great these last few weeks, due to a sudden bereavement, and DH knows I’m dreading being asked how I am at the wedding, so he’s just ordered the dress.

The act means so much more to me than just the dress, so I am thrilled, although technically I didn’t buy it.

twosoups1972 · 24/10/2018 15:15

I love that dress sugar never heard of that company before. How does the fit and length come up?

SugarandVinegar · 24/10/2018 16:33

I'd never heard of the company either @twosoups till perusing mn style pages a few weeks ago.
I'm 5' 2" size 12 and it comes to the middle of my kneecap.

SugarandVinegar · 24/10/2018 16:35

my memory is chronic Posted too soon. Fit is none clingy but not loose - kinda skims the body and doesn't hug the lumpy bits.

CoolCarrie · 24/10/2018 20:14

I got the Dutti velvet jacket in green, however it’s in the UK at my mum’s so won’t see it until December, mum says it’s beautiful!

Bought these boots last week. Bit pricey but I've not had a new pair for a couple of years as couldn't find anything on the high street i liked.
Found a link to this company on another thread.
The boots are really soft leather and just right.

SuzeD29 · 25/10/2018 07:44

My Infinity black leather jacket. I LOVE it so much. Also added bonus that it was on sale for £159 down from £269

TheBiscuitStrikesBack · 25/10/2018 10:01

See the sparkly new look top that was linked to (£10) what is the sizing like?

QuantumWeatherButterfly · 25/10/2018 10:15

@SugarandVinegar I'm also coveting that Roman Originals dress. Is it true to size? And is there any cling that might not flatter my mum tum?

SugarandVinegar · 25/10/2018 13:14

Yes true to size Quanrum and not clingy - I think they do free returns and there's usually a code somewhere for a bit off the price and free postage.

This skirt in mustard: www.bodenusa.com/en-us/womens-skirts/pencil/t0229-yel/womens-hot-mustard-windmill-british-tweed-pencil-skirt

I'm a sucker for Johnnie Boden's oh-so-personal emails telling me about 25% off Blush
