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

[Ellapaella]

New thread starts here Hush-ita's

@SoyYo love all your buys! Leather leggings are super, definitely keep them!
@neveradullmoment99 I really like the forest green cashmere, think it's perfect to wear with the leather leggings. Really nice.

soups, tbh, I more or less wear trainers with everything, so mainly that, although have also worn the black ones with Fly ankle boots.

Thank you ilove in actual fact I'm also looking for some new trainers. Was it you who posted the skechers ones a few threads back?

@Soyo thanks for the heads up on boden although I've never had much luck fitting in their clothes before - either too tight or too lose. I hope the small star jumper fits a little better as it's so lovely. Even DH liked it.

@Never it's a shame about your dress. Must feel fabulous on though

@melen thanks! Do you know how I should wash cashmere? I have never hand washed before. Can it be dry cleaned??

Boden have had some great knitwear this year. I've just ordered a Muriel jumper in multi stripe. Arrghh, can't stop buying jumpers!

@soups Sketchers literally saved my life last October when I developed incredibly sore and swollen feet at a Madrid exhibition (it was the foot with the fractured ankle that was obviously not 100% right and ended up like a balloon, couldn’t even wear my flat shoes by the third day)
These are the ones I got in desperation and although I’ve worn quite a bit since then they still look brand new. They are super comfy if you have wider feet. As I bought at Corte Inglés in Spain not sure if the exact same model available here but attaching a pic of my now rather worn ones for idea on the style...
I think they’re miracle trainers and don’t care if they’re a bit “fugly”

@Ella thank you! You’re bound to like anything with “grey” in it
By the way I’m super happy you finally have your beloved DM’s on their way to you they look perfect on the pic and hope they fit and are super comfy too.

happy I always wash my cashmere on the delicate setting in machine with woolite or Waitrose delicate clothing was liquid, always been ok.

SoMany hello again I really like both jumpers, the meryl is a very pretty shade though.

Thank you @Soy they do look comfy. I have very narrow feet though. Looking for something not obviously branded and on the smart rather than sporty.

Ah okay @soup then I hope others can advice as sketchers do seem quite wide but I don’t own a huge amount of trainers... I also like some of the Hush trainers specially these

Thinking of pushing the button on the Hush cashmere leopard scarf .... just need a nudge to tell me it’s great quality and I need it :)

Twosoups did you get 20 pc off your jumper - E5F2 is the code and even works with sale stuff. (On another MN thread)

Thank you @fairies it was already very well reduced in the sale

@Soy those Hush trainers are lovely but expensive. Wonder if they'll be reduced. Since last posting I've found a couple of pairs of Mint Velvet trainers from JL:

and

Not sure what colour to go for, I thought navy blue originally but they won't work with black jeans/trousers. So maybe black or grey or burgundy!

Reporting back with Zara coatigan. I love it, but... no pockets! Wtf? Such a shame. However it is lovely and soft and thick. Definitely more solid than a cardigan. A very thick knit and gorgeous colour. Slightly too big but this allows me to wear a few layers underneath
Cat seems to like it

@Huff I like the coatigan you’re right it’s roomy on you but I do like it it’s got a very boho vibe...LOL at cat! You’ll have to hide or he’ll start pawing and tear it to bits 😻

@soup lovely MV trainers you’re right about blue, if you want them to go with everything I’d go for the grey or even the white (not practical I know but white seems to be “the” colour for trainer chic)

Do you think it's too big Soyo? I have past form with accepting things and then down the line not wearing them because the fit isn't so great. This was a small. Presumably they had an extra small at some point but I've never been an xs in Zara and they didn't have them available when I ordered so wouldn't have thought of it. I like the slouchy boho vibe but not if it adds extra pounds!

@fariesandelves thank you for the extra discount code, my 😇 halo well n truly fell off & smashed to smithereens I ordered a couple of blazers (tweed one £56.00)my thanks to Soy as well plus a cashmere jumper couple of crop cardis & more stuff for dgd 😳 oops.

Soup the trainers are really lovely I like the grey ones especially.
Huff I dunno I think it looks a bit big on the sleeves,but that maybe the photo maybe try it for a few days first, see how you feel in it.

Thanks Fairies! Just got my ds a snow suit with the Boden discount!

@dontcallmelen yes I think it's the sleeves that are the issue... so annoying as it's exactly what I've been looking for! Will hold on to the packaging then until everything else has arrived. Then I can make some decisions as I can't keep everything...

Huff those snowsuits are brilliant & a really good price, yy give it a few days & then make a decision.

Boden code was listed by purple
On thread 16 Christmas. Can't take the credit but glad to share and others benefited

Well, have Well and truly lost my . Tempted by Never and Soy I have ordered the cashmere dress and then compounded my fall from Grace by deciding to have another look at the jade tunic which I’ve already sent back once. . I’m trying to convince myself that money in PayPal isn’t real.
