Think this is it?

Yes that's it, wow it's so cheap! Makes you realise what the mark up on branded perfume is 😯

@happytobemrsg it was this skirt I was trying to link

Ella the window displays are lovely so Christmassy, used to take dcs when they were little to see the lights in oxford street & look at selfridges/liberty windows in the days when you drive up & park bedding sounds so luxurious, I have a thing for bedding & towels😳 the Christmas jumper is fab as well.
Yy Jo Malone perfume, very disappointing perfume parlour is excellent.
Just about to start present wrapping, then sort out some decorations have a horrible feeling the tree lights are not working & seems to be very little left in shops decs/lights, nothing in sainsburys/Waitrose shelves empty in wilkos.

Hope you are feeling a bit brighter Cherries. I have mostly been Hush shopping on ebay this month since the last sale. I have a zebra skirt, a sabrina cardie (not yet arrived) and am getting a new constellation scarf for Xmas from DH.
I need to stop now as we have just bought a new bed, had some plumbing repairs done and the car is going in for £500 of work on Tuesday. Merry Xmas indeed!

NotAnActualSheep · 08/12/2018 17:14

Oh no whisky! That's not good so near Christmas! But it sounds like you've got lots of eBay bargains.

Ella that jumper is beautiful...I love the colours. The windows look lovely and festive too. ( I particularly like the "Gregg's" reflected in one, for that festive sausage roll cheer Grin). Glad you've had a good day, and have come out with some lovely bedding and perfume. I can't believe I didn't know about perfume parlour! Off to have a quick browse now... it's so cheap...

NotAnActualSheep · 08/12/2018 17:20

Here are lots of dark coloured clothes! The first 2 are the Ceres skirt with a black jumper. You can't see clearly in the photo, but there's a lovely shimmer to the skirt. And the fab pinecone necklace from Laska!

Also the primrose dress. I'll put the back view (as much as I can!) in the next post... It's got a nice v back with a sort of bar across.

Back view of the primrose. And the red Mother Christmas skirt, for a bit of colour!

Sorry for the state of the mirror and general bedroom messiness!

I really love the ceres skirt. Could you wear it casually during the day?
Love the back of the dress but it looks a little big on the shoulders on the first one. My red dress is big on the shoulders but hoping they will calm down with wear. I am keeping the red dress in the size I have got [I have it in a medium] as I think it would be too clingy in the small.
I really like everything on you. What are you keeping?

Ellapaella · 08/12/2018 17:34

Oh Not I think you look lovely! The dress is beautiful 😍 very glam.

Ellapaella · 08/12/2018 17:34

Loving the Mother Christmas skirt too. Very festive.

Ellapaella · 08/12/2018 17:36

Not. See how the Greggs sign is reflected back the right way round? They've put the sign up back to front as so many people were taking photos of The window and posting on social media they decided to get I some cheeky advertising.

dontcallmelen · 08/12/2018 17:39

Not very nice, lol at the Mother Christmas skirt very festive.

dontcallmelen · 08/12/2018 17:43

Well tree lights are working, but...... Ds & Dh got boxes out of loft & Ds dropped the whole bloody box of decorations smashed quite a few & my lovely glass light up Christmas tree decoration that used to go on the dining room table😡
Did d manage to do mantle & bannisters, chez Len looking slightly more Christmassy.

Looks beautiful @dontcallmelen :) Very festive and pretty.

ilovecherries · 08/12/2018 18:12

Lots of lovely pictures, everyone :)

My Other Stories order arrived. Must say I’m impressed with both speed of delivery and the quality. Only downside for me would be returns as nearest DPD drop off is 30 miles away. However, think I’m keeping both these jumpers anyway. I got medium simply as the model was wearing small and my build is rather more sturdy than her’s. However, I think the small would have been fine in both, as both are very oversized. Cashmere is lovely - has a nice ‘squeezy’ texture and my new customer discount brought it in under £80 - so less than half the price of hush for similar-ish quality. I may yet got back and get the camel as well.

Evening! God I've been sorting out the spare junk room today, albeit a bit half heartedly. Several gags to charity though so some progress made Smile
Lots to catch up on but @never your hair looks amazing! I've got hair extensions in at the mo as I've been growing out my pixie for a year and was sporting a mullet , I'm aiming for your style.
They're due out soon as I've lost a few!

Love the jumper @Ellapaella very festive but still stylish as ever.
The dress is gorgeous @Not def a keeper! Skirt looks lovely too.
I didn't realise you'd ordered the H&M stuff too @Not , I'm to say I haven't even tried mine on yet!
Hope things have settled down @SoyYo & @ilovecherriesThanks

@Ellapaella how did you spot the Greggs sign! Grin

I definitely need to loose some weight too. I successfully did 5:2, 5 years ago, but this last year I've put half a stone 10lbs on and now my clothes are too tight.

New year new start I think!

Loving the Xmas decs, we got a tree from ikea. £25 and they give you a £20 voucher to spend in January. Not put it up yet.....

Sorry if I haven't mentioned everyone, hope @Laska hope you're ok, well, obv you're not ok but you know what I mean Thanks

GinandGingerBeer · 08/12/2018 18:17

App has buggered up the bold bits Confused

GinandGingerBeer · 08/12/2018 18:22

That is gorgeous @ilovecherries Envy
Love it!

neveradullmoment99 · 08/12/2018 18:42

@gin its not me that has the beautiful hair [unfortunately] but its Dave :)

neveradullmoment99 · 08/12/2018 18:44

Jumper looks great @cherries. lovely and baggy. Its very similar in colour to my hush hibiscus one.

dontcallmelen · 08/12/2018 18:45

Oooh cherries really lovely & a great price.

noodlezoodle · 08/12/2018 19:17

Cherries those jumpers look really lovely. I'll be back in London next week for a couple of weeks and will keep an eye out for them - always love going into Stories and Cos for a pootle round when I'm home.

I'm feeling quite impatient knowing that my Hush parcel is waiting for me in England and wanting to try everything on Smile

SoyYo · 08/12/2018 19:27

What a welcoming Xmas vibe on the thread this evening.
cherries beautiful red jumper and cashmere! Great price
ella snowman windows and festive jumper which looks fab as always. I think you’re on a roll!
not fantastic dress sooo elegant, fun red Xmas skirt suits you as does the beautiful shimmery Hush skirt. Wow is all I can say
melen your decorations look so twinkly and lovely, they compliment your vintage home so well.
So love love everything you’ve all posted.
Thanks for the kind wishes everybody! I should be leaving for the sequin Xmas do that never was but qué Será será so I’ve spent the afternoon doing much less glamorous ironing which has rather piled up and now about to change our bed as DH is a bit brighter this eve but still not up to much other than malingering on the sofa Wink and even though I haven’t got new Egyptian thread sheets to put on a la Ella at least he (and I) should feel we’ve chased the horrid viruses away with fresh bedding.
So as you can see just a boring homebody this cold Dec day.
My Hush parcel has arrived but with all the homebusyness no time to open and I like to savour opening my parcels...like a special chocolate or good glass of Malbec so tomorrow when I’m rested and in the daylight I shall do and report back.
Wishing you all a great evening Smile

dontcallmelen · 08/12/2018 19:31

Soy nothing better than fresh bedding, especially if been a bit poorly hope Dh feels better soon.
Just finished wrapping the presents, just a couple of small things to get hopefully tomorrow & then tree towards end of the week, feeling slightly more in control now.
