Hushistas spring/summer Vol 2! Planning for the sunshine this way..

[Ellapaella]

Hi everyone new thread

Ella did you use your Boden voucher ?If not plse can you PM me it ? (they sometimes work when out of date).. I was wondering about some of their cropped jeans in the sale..

@Len I’d say Muubaa tend to be True to Size if you go to the Brand Alley link laska posted upthread you can click on the sizing chart for their measures. I find the sleeve length is okay on me but I’m 5’3” tall and as they tend to be quite cropped styles the length works well on shorties. They also have wire bits round the neck so you can adjust the look of the lapel to suit. My old season Muubaa jackets are all super soft leather (mid season/summer weight) and they are a bargain in BA...I’ve never paid full price as they’re ££ but usually bought directly from Muubaa sale/website so I do hope the BA are not factory rejects that didn’t make it to the Muubaa sale.

@laska I used my £15 Boden voucher last night so it should work as it had expired a few days ago 👍

I think I love the Corsica dress.
It’s really comfy & quite versatile.
The cross back was creased, so didn’t hang quite right, but nothing a good iron won’t fix.

Johnny doesn't send me stuff any more it seems Soy , I was just hoping Ella or someone else may have one still

That is gorgeous Offred , I would love to see the back..

I ordered these to go with it.

Posted to soon, my attempts at getting a photo of the back were very poor. But I can say, the back is very much the same as on the model.

offred dress looks fab on you & the wedges are great.
Thanks Soy I’m torn between the Kendl which is a bit plainer or the petrol one which has bit more detail, it’s hard to gauge the colour though on the screen, also toying with size an eight would be ok if it didn’t stretch to much or would I be better with the sixI have a two black bikers & a stone coloured one, have always wanted a blue one though but do I really need it🤔

@Laska2Meryls have PM'd you the code

@Offredismysister love the dress! Looks lovely on you.

Lovely dress offred

ella have you decided to keep the dress?

@twosoups1972 yes I'm keeping. Going to wear it out on Saturday night when I go out for a few drinks. Do you think I should wear with the black boots?

ella I like the boots with it but equally it would work with more casual shoes, flats, trainers etc. Especially paired with the denim jacket. I think it's a very versatile dress that you could dress up or down.

Yay thanks Ella it worked ! have ordered the Boden York cropped jeans in the sale ( even though I think I do like the Hush ones better) and also another vest top ( a girl can never have to many!) which i know i will keep just so get the use from your voucher anyway even if I dont like the jeans.. (if i send them back the vest will only cost me £2) canny eh?

Ella I would wear with the boots, it’s still chilly I hate cold feet.

Naw.... Ella, Why aye, Pet? You are in Newcastle arent you? Strappy sandals and no coat !! (Laska ducks...)

Speaking of sandals, just saw these being discussed in the fashion pages of the paper yesterday:

www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/shoes-430/sandals-5388227/venus-asymmetric-sandals-8533637

Now, do I NEED any more sandals??

Laska 😂😂 my Dh says I have two personalities, summer I’m lovely & happy n smiley, winter I’m a complete nightmare & my hands & feet should be classed as weapons as they are constantly like ice.

Too cold even for me for sandals at the moment! I'll the dress with sandals in the summer, just not sure if the boots look ok.

The boots look fine :)

Boots looked really good.

@offred the dress really suits you! Lovely shape on your figure, and nice wedges which reminds me to dig similar ones I bought years ago but still as good as new.

@ella yes boots (don’t listen to laska with her northern girl jokes )

@melen the Muubaa does stretch half a size with wear so if you think the 6 measurements will fit I’d go for the smallest size but tbh there’s not a huge difference between sizes as I’ve also tried size 12 before and if it weren’t for the boob squash on my 34 FF chest I could wear a size down. As it is the 14 is fine even after stretch with wear. Do you need it? Nope. I have: cream leather biker from Baukjen barely worn so not a good buy (scared of marking it), burgundy and orange suede biker jackets from Mango (again only occasional wear). What do I wear most? My Muubaa leathers in Black, brown suede and blush because they are really flattering. I also have another now ancient collarless black leather Muubaa which I wore so much it has a small tear in the sleeve and need to have repaired.
But no Blue. Blue is where it’s at! enabling words

@soups I like the barely there sandals

Quick pop in to say hi.

I really like those York jeans from Boden, I might take a punt on them for that price. No vouchers by email from them recently - anybody got a spare one they won't be using?
I like the look of the Moritz but will probably try the boden first. I had a gorgeous pair of Levi clamdiggers that I wore for years and then threw out. Boy do I regret that as they would have fit the high-waist, crop wide leg of this season perfectly.

I haven't bought the Aster skirt yet, as I really won't need it for SA. I have last year's leopard skirt and a lovely maxi skirt in black and white from Boden (old) that will both do for evenings. I may get the Aster later on in the season, would like to see more reviews first!

Lots of tshirts ordered. Some from Gap worked out well (vintage wash v neck) and I have ordered a few from Peacocks too, which should be here in a few days! I didn't buy any from Oasis in the end.
I also got a lovely pair of faded blue girlfriend jeans in Gap the other day, and a blue linen shirt. The shirt will be lovely for the holidays, with white/black shorts.
