A very Meryl-y Christmas to all.. Hush Christmas continued

[Ellapaella]

New thread starts here Hush-ita's

Perfect Ella. You'll get to see some hidden gems with your own personal tour guide! And by gems I obviously mean the best bars and restaurants 😆

Ooh for Rome trip Ella .. I'm still Cc- less . I could pay for sale stuff through PayPal or other bank transfer but am rather enjoying my . We are on boat,it's a lovely calm sunny morning here

Well done on your @Laska. Impressive Parcel has arrived but haven't opened yet as eating breakfast but excited!!! [also dh is in the room so want to save opening it in private lol]
So in it should be the bag, cashmere dress, wide charcoal top, zebra scarf and a watch. Not keeping all of it [although have raised a fair bit of cash selling stuff in the last few days] No sign of the toast jumper and am getting tempted just to email and cancel it as I really don't need more temptation.
A trip to Rome sounds amazing @Ella. It will come quickly too. I always think that when into January, Spring seems to just be around the corner!

Oooh my goodness, some of you have been very busy.
cherries love the leather skirt, I think you will suit it very well.
never am loving all your purchases, the dress is fab also think the jumper will really suit you.
Huff love love the embroidered jacket, am wel jel with all of your haul.
Ella yeahy Rome, Italy is my favourite place in the whole world have never managed to get to Rome though, it will be fabulous I bet.
Laska have a lovely day & enjoy the meal, it’s grey & cloudy here.
I have nominated myself for a 😇 have not bought anything.
Two report back on the whistles dresses.

Never send Dh out on an errand, so you can show us what has arrived.

never I love the look of the Hush cashmere dress, what size did you get? I suspect they come up quite big. I like the light grey one but sold out in a S.

Yip! He is going up to the local shop to get bread and milk. I will post later though. Feeling a bit shit and tired atm!

I think I ordered it in a small. I will check when my dh has gone out!

Had a peek and it is a small. It looks quite generous. Not sure about the green colour. Its just maybe a wee bit boring? We will see. Looking at it, I cannot imagine the original price tag. However, it is a lot of cashmere I suppose.

Has anyone seen a nice navy blazer? Hobbs have a few but thinking I will go out over the weekend & physically have a look in shops as I do have some cash & voucher that I can spend.

Ooh can't wait to see it @never 😊
Hoping I don't like it too much 😉

Actually had a quick try and I don't love it. Will post a picture later. Its a kind of washed out green. Its ok but at the price I have to love it and I don't think I do. I guess it could be cause I just shoved it on and look a bit shit atm.
The star bag however is gorgeous. I really really like it.

I guess I think it looks a bit ordinary. Not that I care about that but there is really nothing 'wow' about it. Jury is out.

That's a shame Never although I totally get what you mean about trying stuff on when you aren't feeling at your best

never is it quite a loose style? Bit shapeless?

Its loose enough in the body but neater on the arms - not the top but under the elbow. Its not bothersome, just something i have noticed. I am terrible for rolling up my sleeves though or putting my hands in my sleeves so it might stop me from doing that or it might stretch. It looks nice. Its not at all shapeless at all. Maybe I am not fussed for the high neck. I have a picture and will post later. Its is definitely not a dress though. More of a long jumper. I could never ever wear it with tights. Definitely a leggings/ skinny jeans jumper.

I am a 12 but have put on a few pounds over the last couple of weeks for sure and the small is fine.

I actually quite like it in the photo!

I suppose with boots it would look good. But i still feel i could get this look for cheaper?

Totally loving all the links girls.

@Huff the Toast skirt looks stunningly elegant and high quality hope it fits as it’s such a classic. Sorry the boots were a fail but hopefully it’ll make keeping other purchases you love easier love the bag and Zara coatigan too

@never wait till you’re feeling better to try again, that’s how I felt last month and kept returning the lot! I think it was in my head rather than how things actually looked on me

@ella Rome!! I have an old boarding school gf who also lives in the centre and we met up a couple of years ago. Rome is just sooo beautiful! Standing by for fashion packing advice

@laska glad you’re enjoying time out with DH and family and being sooo good with no sale spending 😇 Go You!

@melen yes if you need a blue blazer and feel inclined to always best to see in the flesh/try on. Saves an awful lot of time messing with returns.

@happy hope your beautiful bargains are a winner wait for you to report back

@cherries amazing skirt! That would also be way out of my comfort zone but it does look amazing online 😍

@never seen your pic after posting. It’s a yes from me, lovely simple longline jumper. Yes you could get something similar cheaper but sometimes it’s the cut that makes the difference. If you’re not totally in love with it see what else you can find online in the sales but I wouldn’t return and risk ooo if you like it unless you’re totally sure an alternative is easily found?
Can’t make out the green shade easily either...

It’s a kind of sludgy green no? I like the roll neck rolls right down...it’s a very sleek shape for a jumper and cashmere is always a winner but if I’m honest I think I prefer the colour of the nibbled tan cashmere...

So I got my Hush sale parcels (notice plural so @huff was right I didn’t tell all)
I’m in love with the leather leggings I think I’m keeping...super comfy and only hesitating because they really are an extortionate price...tell me they’re not worth it?

The ghost dress by the way was a keeper. I’ve never had a fitted dress fit my boobs AND the rest of my body so nicely in a long long time, it really is a summer dress so will still keep and go back to ghost in future if I want another dress. Their bias cut and quality fabrics are totally worth specially at sale price.
Well endowed ladies take note

Thanks @soyo. I know what you mean about the cut. It can be very hard to get a good fit. I love love love love love the leather leggings on you soyo - sorry!! :( Gorgeous keep keep keep.
