Ella the Topshop jumper is lovey, yy the CS & missing orders etc I’m going RL shopping in the week so will have a look for it in store.
Am also fed up with returns/PO faffing, I’m lucky Dd loves shopping so can always rely on her fro some company, Dh is not to bad as long as you give him a lunch break & little sit down😄

I can’t quite bring myself to shop anywhere in Philip Greens empire. I don’t delude myself that other places are squeaky clean, but I guess that’s where I draw my line :(. Already missing topshop jeans though :(.

Hi all. Thanks for the birthday wishes. Well the little ada bag came and its getting sent back. its seriously tiny!! Not only is it tiny but the magnetic fastening doesn't work. Its under leather wtf!!! So it has absolutely zero staying power. It just doesn't fasten it at all. Shame really. Also the gorgeous star at the front is lost because its so bloody small. Its like a purse attached to a chain. Gold/bronze dress is nice. Will keep and wear tomorrow for my birthday meal. A bit annoyed as I had ordered the double star pendant to go with it and it wasn't in the box so have emailed them. That pissed me off but not enough to spoil my day. Gave the DM's an outing today. They are very comfy. A little stiff around the ankles but that's it.

[Not dear mother btw!! Doc martens just incase anyone is wondering!!]

ilovecherries · 03/11/2018 14:44

Have a lovely day, never. I ordered a new double star and it arrived yesterday - but not in the usual black hush jewellery box - just lying loose in a little poly bag. I was a bitAngry to be honest.

ilovecherries · 03/11/2018 14:50

We def need a day out somewhere. My DH valiantly tags along if I’m shopping but keeps asking things like ‘how long will you need in this shop’. Um...

Daughter is keen enough but less enthusiastic when it’s for me rather than her!

My mum tuts at the price of everything and makes me feel guilty.

I’ve always avoided shopping with other women till now, simply as nothing in a mainstream shop fitted me, and there are only so many times you can say that you don’t like anything. So I am looking forward to this :)

Happy Birthday Never! FlowersCakeWine

Such a shame about the bag. It does look lovely and the star quilting is really unusual. But it does look tiny, and that is compared against the model's leg...goodness knows what it would look like against mine! I'm rubbish with small bags, though...if there isn't room for a purse, book, water bottle, umbrella/ emergency raincoat and spare shoes, I feel like I'm missing something.

Hope you have a great meal in the beautiful shimmery dress Smile .

Ellapaella · 03/11/2018 15:05

Happy birthday Never - have a great day and enjoy your meal out. 🎂

I saw the shimmery dress in JL, it was gorgeous. Gold isn’t really me, I regretted not buying it in silver last year.

neveradullmoment99 · 03/11/2018 16:08

Actually cherries, i went away and tried the gold on again and its a little scratchy. Tried on my silver one and its much softer in comparison Confused Its also a bit more see through. mmm...

neveradullmoment99 · 03/11/2018 16:09

Thanks @Ella. Not doing much today but going out tomorrow. Just as well as its bloody miserable and peeing it down.

Ellapaella · 03/11/2018 16:22

Which dress is this? Is it the glitter dress on Hush? The gold one?
What's the sizing like? I could do with a nice dress as I have a few parties and nights out lined up over nov/dec.

Thanks everyone for birthday wishes Grin

neveradullmoment99 · 03/11/2018 16:35

Its the glitter dress in gold. I bought it for my meal tomorrow as it isnt as sparkly as the silver one. I do like it but it isnt quite the same fabric as the silver one from last year. I ordered both the xs and the small and both were ok but i am keeping the xs. The xs small would most likely look like the small on me so it would be a bit bigger but not ridiculous.

neveradullmoment99 · 03/11/2018 16:35

Last years sizing in it was ridiculous.

Ellapaella · 03/11/2018 16:42

I might give it a try, I like the look of it.

Happy birthday @neveradullmoment99 ! Will you post a pic of the dress tomorrow? Look forward to seeing it 🎂

Happy Birthday Never.. WineCakeGlitterball

Laska5772 · 03/11/2018 17:02

Poo! my Meryl hasn't arrived so it will be Monday now.. usually they arrive the next day . Annoying as will be on mainland on Monday again so will miss the post

Laska5772 · 03/11/2018 17:13

How annoying about the Bag and the necklace never.
Last years silver Ivy was huge .. I wore it for my 60th in Florence (aah wonderful Florence, sigh...) .. got the XS and I was a stone heavier than i am now!

Looking forward to seeing the Gold dress though !

I cant bring myself to shop in Top Shop now either .. although I have in the past ..

neveradullmoment99 · 03/11/2018 17:17

Yes, will post a picure tomorrow. Thanks. Shame about the jumper @Laska. Its happened to me before that it was meant to be next day and arrives a day later. Its annoying.

neveradullmoment99 · 03/11/2018 17:24

Its definitely not as huge in the gold. The gold was a looser but in the small but not as massive as the silver one last year. They have definitely changed their sizing. The silver xs on me is like the small in the gold from this year.

neveradullmoment99 · 03/11/2018 17:26

Im a bit worried that they think i got the necklace and am just at it but it was not in the box. I was on my bed opening my presents when the post came and my boxes arrived so it couldn't have fallen anywhere.

neveradullmoment99 · 03/11/2018 17:28

Its the first time its happened. Well apart from the cashmere comb that they meant to send me. Do you know what hush said about that? They said that usually when you have a code,they omit the comb!!! Really? So why was it in my basket with my order? Nonsense.

neveradullmoment99 · 03/11/2018 17:29

Oh its like saying 'oh sorry, you have a code so i will deduct £3.99 from your order!!!! CF's! [pardon me!]
