Calling Hushista's over here..., crabs, lobsters, kimonos and all things Summer

[Ellapaella]

Hello everyone.. new thread.. god knows what number we're on to now?

I like the check shirt on you @laska but you know what suits you colour wise. Like all your purchases :) The culottes really suit you :)
Well have sent both the blue santana and the embroidered jacket thing back and feel I have made the right decision. I have the black santana at the post office and I did order the dress with the daisies on it with the dropped waist. I really love the print [lupin dress] I am quite tempted to order the jumpsuit with the spots! [real wild card there!!!]

Ella I love your kitchen! We got ours done a few years ago and it is the best money we ever spent on the house.

Len - I think the dress is lovely, perfectly oversized!

Laska- I love all your buys but most especially the seren. It’s such a wonderful shade and suits you so well.

I still haven’t had a chance to try on everything. Tried the striped shirt dress and I like it but will it get enough wear? Not sure.

The surprise is the Moritz trousers. They are so so soft and I love them. Assuming I get the money back on the poor shrunken Corsica it’s going on them. I really didn’t think I’d like them. I know they are not Uber flattering. This was them just thrown on with what I was wearing rather than dressed. I adore.

Never - Is that the eleni? I was very tempted.

Hahaha! Some severe enabling going on here! In rhyme no less 🤣... Thanks huff (I've never been a muse before...) nink and soups. OK, I've caved and bought it in burgundy with the friend code. Odd the email didn't reach me soups and I checked junk... If you want, I can contact them so my purchase is linked to you? (if you also get a discount next time?). I would definitely recommend the kankens huff... so simple, and they can fit loads (enough for a night away), but you don't get stuff getting lost in the bottom because the front basically zips right off! I've got one with a laptop compartment too that I use for work.

ella your kitchen is fab! I love the colour of the walls, and the units are gorgeous. V jealous...

@PorpoisefullyObtuse now I want those trousers! They look really good. Dress is lovely too. What was sizing like with trousers? True to size?

Well done never. It sounds like you have thought of what you need, and I'm sure you will be able to pick up at least the jacket again in the sale!

porpoise the striped dress really suits you! I really like it (though I have liked it on everyone who has posted it, tbh!) but yes, you have to consider whether it will suit your lifestyle and get the wear it deserves. It looks like a really easy, casual shape to wear to me... though I can't talk, as I am very bad at wearing dresses that need leg preparation if I can't wear tights! So I only really do in the height of summer... And yes, the jeans look great on you too. That shape is definitely growing on me and I do think they can be flattering (esp when you've got such a good shape as you ...)

Not - The striped dress is lovely and easy but I think it will be a wrinkle fest. Does anyone have it and worn it yet? I really am a lazy ironer... I have a french connection dress which is a very similar shape, tiny bit shorter (prefer the length of the striped one). So hard to decide - I’ll wait until I’ve tried everything on and hear about the Corsica. And thanks for the compliment!

Ella the trousers - I wear a 10 usually and haven’t sized down. Think they are probably an elusive 11...

Ella I love your kitchen, the colour on the walls is stunning. We love a bit of Farrow and Ball in our house.

@Porpoisefully big fan of the stripped dress on you. Where is it from?

If you used the friend code Not and as Soups was the one who passed on your email address to Aurora then she should still get the referral benefit. It's not a link that they send through, just a code 👍 The email comes from someone called Claire rather than the company name. The burgundy is lovely, great choice 😍

Heyyyy Hushistas! Happy Wednesday, and Happy Birthday to me!

🍰🥂🍾🍸🍺🍹🍷for all (let’s call it a champagne breakfast!) but not for me because I’m on lowcarbing bootcamp. 🙄

Hope you each have a lovely day!

Hey Happy Birthday @Ninkaninus 🍾🧁 hope you have a great day

@PorpoisefullyObtuse the trousers are fab! You look amazing! Also love the striped dress on you! I ordered it as did Cherries but we both returned in the end. I would maybe reorder if it went in the sale but wasn't sure how much I'd wear it mostly because of the leg preparation thing Not mentions but also it felt slightly stiff and formal. I'll probably regret it now the weather is ramping up from 'mild' to 'actually quite warm' I also bought at full price as there was no 10% at the time

Happy birthday @Ninkaninus! ✨🥳

Yeahy happy birthday Nink have a lovely day 🎂🍾🍹😍

Happy birthdayNinka
Ella love the finished kitchen ..
And porpoise that dress looks really great, and yours also Len
I dentist today but just a check up and hopefully won't need anything done.
Wearing navy Chamonix, last year's star stripe shirt and my new Cupars today

Happy birthday nink! (low carb 🎂🍰and 🍷 for you, or at least 🎈 and 💐). Hope you have a great day. Any nice presents?!

porpoise ah, yes, ironing... I know what you mean... I'm very bad at that and tend to go for the crumpled look, and hope my hormonal heat sort of steams the creases out in wear...

laska urgh- hope your teeth are given a clean bill of health. You sound like you're very smartly dressed at least 😁.

soups I'm wondering if my email address has been "autocorrected" by your computer? The spelling of my first name is a bit unusual and spellchecks tend to assume it's wrong and default to another version, unless you train them (I have beaten my devices into submission, though has taken years of trying!). Anyway, it no longer matters as I used the code huff gave 😁, but I don't want to deprive you of the 15%benefit if you happen to want something else from there!

Got my Monaco in blue and black in 12! Yay for returns :)
The black are replacements for the ones I have already. I’ve worn them so much they are starting to look shabby.
I also ordered Beatrice in blueberry and the new Nini dress on pre order. To try. :)

Happy birthday Ninkaninus My Brand Alley order will be delivered tomorrow and the new summer stuff should be there when I get home today. I'm in a very rare non Hush day today - Seasalt dress from a couple of years ago (bought by my daughter to get me out of the "sacks" that I wear - her words not mine.) and birkenstock sandals. Very boring day stuck in office doing all the little jobs that I have been putting off all month

Happy Birthday nink. Birthday calories don't count.

len that dress looks FAB. And what a lovely pair of legs you have (tee hee). You could waft all you like in that.

Happy Birthday Nink! Only 🍾 since you’re low carbing. Surely you deserve your Mulberry treat today? 💝👜

Omg you lot can chat more than all my relatives and that’s saying something! I’m having a super busy work week so will try and keep up.
Expecting BA parcel today (Yeay) and I succumbed to the broderie top that @never got with the 10% discount should also arrive today and we’ll see if I look like a broderie
Tent or not in it...love the M.Dutti top that @Huff posted but sadly can’t do a high neck - the price difference is only £4 with the Hush one inc discount so 🙏

@laska love your purchases, least favourite was the check shirt on you because I think it’s a bit boxy and hides your figure (love the colours though) so yes return. The yellow top is marvellous. Good luck with gnasher check

@not you got the handbag! Yeay! Looking Fw to seeing your new goodies

@porpoise love both stripy and wide legs on you. Amazing figure ergo it all looks great.

@Len the Miriam is “just right” it looks lovely on you, deffo not too low and there’s an advantage with being a shortie in that I totally love the length on you. Are you keeping?

Sorry not commenting on everything but finally @Ella need to join you on no spend bench. Your kitchen is amazing! And the F&B paint complements the unit colour/warm wood very harmoniously. Wish you many happy hours cooking and sharing family meals. I saw some really nice wooden high stools somewhere I’ll let you know if I remember where. Another idea would be to look for old wooden bar stools and paint them or sand back to a light wood and varnish.
I need to join you because this week there are two men working on painting our windows/fascias/front door and it’s £££££!! All to prepare to sell our family home 😢 to realise our long term downsizing plans. Our house is 1930’s and has all the original stained glass windows and doors which is why I refused to replace but need regular painting and £ thrown at it. Whereas the back extension we had built 14 years ago has modern double glazing and much easier on the maintenance front.

Right back to work, I’m rabitting now

Yes the painting is worth at least 4 Mulberry’s 😫 mustn’t think about that but hopefully will be recovered on the sale price and it needed doing...

Happy Birthday @Ninka! Dry champagne had almost no carbs!!! (I am also low carb and need to stay sane sometimes!)

@Laska- the yellow is one of the nicest things I have seen you in so far!!! I’m so happy you decided to keep it. You could never be unhappy in that springtime crocus colour! I finally checked out the drop-shoulder jumpers at Decjuba today for you. They’re okay, but not as fabulous as I’d want if I was paying Australian postage to get them to the UK. Their other jumpers are a much higher quality for the price. (I may have bought some more t-shirts, some bracelets for my niece and two pairs of trainers today...)

@Ella, your kitchen is STUNNING!!! May you christen it with any cocktails!!!

@justi hello! Hope weather is cooler now in Queensland and your assignment is going okay. You and the rest of the comments on the Hush eyes dress and avoiding women wearing Disney/Pixar made me LOL! Couldn’t agree more 🤣

As to @not calling the lace dress a Mrs Haversham look 😳! But I luvvs it and it’s the one thing of the new collection I’m really lusting after...though now worried about looking like a permanent jilted spinster. And when would I wear it? (I want it so badly)

@miffy glad you bagged the trousers! I remember last summer your Monaco recommendation made me buy the chilli version and you’re right. Lovely, light, flattering summer trousers that go with everything 👍

Soy Actually, I thought the Miss Haversham would be great for a beach wedding..
Teef done, nothing more than scale n polish with a couple of keeping an eye out notices, I have good strong ones luckily )
But still feel jangly .. Strong black coffee now to undo all that polishing work! . Looks like my Brand Alley will be tomorrow, and I'll be stuck in a poll station all day..
