Aaaargh. It's snowing here today. What's that all about?
I think all the fake tan talk has lulled me into a false sense of summer security. Can I be really dim and ask how you all exfoliate? (Wet or dry? With a special scrub cream or just a cloth/loofah (sp?) or something?) I think this may be where I'm going wrong, as i don't tend to do that other than when drying myself after a shower 
I'm also going for the mitt and gloves this time...
I also didn't realise hair loss was so common as a response to illness. 
to all suffering (and family). And yy- I don't see laska as having "caused" anything, any more than weight is purely a self-discipline thing, or people addicted to something can just stop...there are all sorts of weird things going on in our heads, and sometimes they express themselves in a particular outlet, be that hair, food or whatever. (This is my amateur psychology, anyway 
) I think it is understood slightly better now, though there is still a long way to go - and having supportive family (like you all on this thread! And laska's DH) will be so helpful.
cherries I think you should take your DDs Moritz love as a compliment on your youthful style! Though you seem to all be being very sensible in sending things back. I have to say, the redoute ones do look lovely (and a bargain!), and looking forward to never's report on the jersey ones.
soups - I kind of agree with the others on the jacket. It is very much a "statement" and would look lovely styled with some things - but i think it is a bit too distinctive to be really versatile. I do like a bit of military frogging (is that the word?!) though.
Waves to soy too! Hope your journey speeds up...you do sound very stylish. (I'd forgotten I have that skirt too..need to give that another outing - and I think that will look good with bare legs too).
