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?

Your DH will be bowled over by Soy I bet.. so much so , that you may have to run very fast around the kitchen table to escape him and we may not see you any more this evening

but soy you really do HAVE to order the black one also for your holiday. You do, you do, you do.. (I'm sure everyone her agrees with me that it would look F.A.B on you )

So the man said “oh yeah, just don’t wear a bra with it and I’ll like it even more!”
I think pinning it so high in the chest was a mistake too. It needs a plunge bra or to be pinned lower then I’m not pulling the silk fabric across the boobs and the chest effect is minimised.

I’m happy I showed you and Thank You again you lovely Hushistas

Oh i love that in the black. I would wear it but to pricey for me considering all my latest expenses but OMG its gorgeous.

Laughing at your dh comments soy

just show it to DH soy an se if he wold like you to order it... & The man from Delmonte will say 'yes ,yes, yes !'!

Ok , Look I know that said I wasn't buying any more but I just bought this for my holiday too

Ooh @Laska that is a fab kaftan! Fabulousness on Hols!! And a bargain too!

@never yes he is my worst enabler ever! and don’t look at that dress bad laska posted! 🙈🤣

You are incorrigible @laska!
Yes I had to fight him off in that dress!

Why are we sooo hard on ourselves eh? Lesson Learnt

.. so you are ordering it then, Soy Yes? Remember, I will be dead cross if you dont..

..just to try on and show your DH of course.....

Just catching up, had my hair cut today it’s a lot shorter but I think it suits me.
Yy all the lovely supportive comments & 😂 at Soy Dh comments & you do look amazing, that dress is a thing of beauty, also very serious hand holding needed for my quest for trousers that bloody fit.
Laska love all the purchases & the sunnies are soo brilliant love em😍
Also everyone’s saltwaters again fab.
never flatforms are great, I saw them at the weekend.
Soups yy if you can afford them, then definitely get the trainers hope shopping wasn’t to stress inducing.
Yy at the postman, mine knows to leave stuff over the back gate now & we are on first names terms.
I got these today, blowfish sandals from office £31.00 with the 20%off OMG the most comfortable sandals ever & for once I bought sensible rather than sparkle, I’m also off to ibiza in a couple of weeks & have set aside a day for shoe shopping/esperdrilles.
Sorry if I have missed anyone, you have been very chatty.

Oops forgot pics of my very sensible sandals.

I can't keep up with you lovely chatty group and all your purchases. Amazing blue dress @Soy, keep it!
I love all the sandals but can't do the flatness of saltwaters.
I've been to pilates tonight too, although I do an Inferno class in an 80 degree room. Intense but I love it.

Hello 👋 len glad you like your haircut, it’s a great time of year to go shorter length too. The sandals are very stylish and if super comfy then perfect for your hols!

@laska I tend to agree with you that black dress is really “me” but there’s only 12 left in stock and if it’s same fit as the one I’m now keeping it would be a gamble and won’t get here on time for my hols unless I go for express delivery...which is just as well you naughty girl finding loveliness to tempt me with
As it is I’m totally happy now I have a “wow” dress for the hols and this summer.

whiskey that made me feel faint, just reading about it, crikey that must be amazing though.

Hi @whisky! Yes my instructor also asked the group if it was too hot, some nodded but for me it was perfect (but don’t think as hot as 80!). Thanks for the kind comment, once I have a tan the colour will really “pop” I hope...
I love Pilates too. It challenges me and I’m sure if it wasn’t for doing it I’d have fallen completely to pieces by now...keeps the scaffolding in working order and the stretching and breathing in between the torture feels sooo good.

Hi melen and whisky

soy so glad you posted the Jigsaw dress. Your dh sounds like mine! The black dress is very lovely too.

@dontcallmelen I had those sandals, loved them. I actually got them in about 2013 and they lasted me right up until last year. They look lovely on and are super comfy. Good choice 😉

@whiskey - please tell me that's 80' Fahrenheit. Otherwise, you're in a slow cooker. (Picturing poached kidneys now....). Am enjoying brief respite from gruesome hot weather where I live. Am sitting outside in leggings and a fleece jacket - loving it!!!
@Soy - I love the dress also, but I know when you're conscious of certain areas, and that dress is designed to highlight the boobages, you might feel a little under the spotlight. As mine are nothing to write home about - Imagine balloons that had been blown up to their maximum capacity then deflated over time - I don't wear wrap dresses as I spend my life constantly worrying that it's going to fly open. You however, give the dress something to show off!!! Personally, I prefer the black to the floral one, but that's always going to be my preference. As for the blue top - STUNNING! You look amazing in those colours. I think that it will be great with your Gudrun harems, so multifunctional.
@Soy - your sunnies are Trés Chic, and as my aunt died from ocular melanoma, I can say that they are not just a stylish purchase, but also a responsible one! (Can justify anything!). You will look like a movie star! LOVE the green ensemble, and the Monacos are very flattering. Also love the tattoo tee shirt. The olive saltwaters are gorgeous. If I could walk in flat shoes, I'd be ordering some myself. Unfortunately I need much more arch support as I have stupid feet. (Luckily it's boot season, so they're happy for now!)
Today I have been book shopping for a two year old and a newborn, who was named after my dog. (Yes, really!!! I hope they never tell her this!!!) I'm both flattered and weirded out at the same time. Ivy is a lovely name for a little baby, and Ivy Dog doesn't seem too bothered. I'm looking forward to seeing the big sister, but newborns still scare me!!! (Adorable little people, but so fragile - am much more confident when they can boss me around with words!!!).

.. hair came out a bit bright this time..its still wet , and as you see it needs a cut / re bleach under -that's for next week though.

Am off to visit DF today and we are going out to lunch . Last time I went over he said that my hair wasnt looking very Bright! (he likes my pink hair).. Well it is now!
I think ill wear my new Jigsaw crops.... not sure what with yet ..... but maybe the Hush granite green linen raw edge T and new olive saltwaters

len i love the sandals also

Hot pilates sounds like torture ( but then my idea of exercise is a gentle bike ride or walk up a hill or two.. )

lou love that a baby is named after your dog! Ivy is a great name . and great point about the sunnies ...

Love it, @Laska! You look like our very own Fairy of Happiness. I hope you and DF have a wonderful day together, and the lunch is scrumptious! X

Oh my! Laska I LOVE the hair. Absolutely fab.
Ladies have any of you tried the Madeline boho top in yellow? It’s kind of calling my name. For reference I live the sloppy joe in yellow as it’s a perfect butter shade. I fear this might be a tad too orange? And I know they have it in blue too but blue has always been my default and I’m trying to change it up a bit.

There’s 10% off right now with SUME10. Don’t know how long it will last but spotted in on Instagram.

Oh my Laska the hair fabulous love love 💕 enjoy your lunch & hope DF is doing ok.
just aww baby Ivy, enjoy shopping & visiting.
miffy no help I’m afraid, apart from I really like it as well I was thinking it might be veering towards a mustard yellow hard to tell from the pics though.
never I love the blue jacket, I may have to give in & try it.
Thank you for my sandal love, especially as they are the first sensible pair I have bought in a very long time.

@just it does feel a bit like being slow cooked lol. But the heat makes you more flexible and you sweat and detox at the same time!

Wow so much to catch up on!
@Laska love your jigsaw haul, looks fab! Those sunglasses are gorgeous too. Your hair is
fab u Lou's!
@SoyYo you mad woman! What an amazing figure! You're zoning in on the bits (or boobs) and you're not seeing the rest of you. It looks gorgeous 
Love the blue jigsaw top, great colour
Having a lovely break here in Turkey, we're just here with DS2 (17) as Ds1 (18) is at uni. I worried how he'd cope just bring on his own as it just never happens, but actually it's been great. Seen a lot more of him than we would have and he's been absolutely lovely.
Me and ds1 went for a quick walk yesterday and came back with
2 pairs Hermes sandals (me)
1 pair fancy brand trainers (him) 'They're 800 irl! According to ds2)
5 bottles of perfume/aftershave.
Ankle bracelet & a mirror compact
All Turkish knock off of course.
My sandals were £11 pair, one pair in blush one in white.
This dress got an outing last night, hush 3 years ago I think, travels well, soft n silky. Still crops up in the sale every year
Oh and @SoyYo I tried co washing, was surprised how clean it felt. My shampoo is sls free but the conditioner isn't and it dried out into a frizz bomb, but I will try my SLS free stuff once home. So big
👍🏻 for giving me the push I needed to try it
