(Googles Italian made blue silk culottes)

awww that is a lovely story soyo. I think its lovely that you put money back into sustaining the shop. The print reminds me of the sea or clouds. Very beautiful.

SoyYo · 14/06/2019 19:15

Oh sorry didn’t see the last comments. You’d be most welcome to borrow the little bag Huff if only you were closer. It was quite cheap (around 30 Eu) but I thought unusual while still channeling the summer basket vibe bag.

If you’re in Spain do pop into a Parfois as they have branches everywhere and totally bargainous.

never stop it! Grin I think I’ll sleep on the black dress okay? Wink

Yes the town is quite small (but only 6km from a fab Med beach so they get plenty of tourists) but small boutiques need all the help they can get.
I make a point of buying as much as I can from the local independent traders.

Good picks from the jewellery link Never. I love those shell ones

Ellapaella · 14/06/2019 19:30

I think I've been watching too much Killing Eve... with all your foreign 'work' travel and love of beautiful clothes and going off radar for a few days soyo I am starting to be suspicious that you may in fact be... an assassin? Please say you are!

its the perfect cover.

neveradullmoment99 · 14/06/2019 19:36

@Ellapaella I think you may have blown her cover!!! Grin

twosoups1972 · 14/06/2019 19:38

@SoyYo I think if you don’t love it then return. It’s really nice on you but not as stunning as the floral silk one.

twosoups1972 · 14/06/2019 19:40

@Ellapaella Grin

SoyYo · 14/06/2019 20:02

Ella Grin and I have a firearms cabinet at home Shock DH is secretary of local target shooting club 🤣🤣🤣
I only wish I could be as glamorous as our Killing Eve heroine Wink

SoyYo · 14/06/2019 20:04

Goes off to investigate never’s link never to be heard of again now her secret is out 😎

Ellapaella · 14/06/2019 20:13

I knew it! Wink

SoyYo · 14/06/2019 20:21

Wink my boss (aka handler) asked me when I was in Paris (remember I had a “days” job to do while on hols in Spain) to go do this other “project” in Bogotá end of September but it’s gettinh awkward as I’m a little unsure I actually want to go there for a week given the safety risks and dire warnings from British Embassy site (DH not impressed either).
So that really would get the MN tongues wagging! 😜 Grin

Ellapaella · 14/06/2019 20:26

Don't tell us anymore Soyo or you'll have to kill us! 😉 keep up the air of mystery..

Ellapaella · 14/06/2019 20:29

But you would laugh in the face of danger though Soyo.. risks? Danger? Pah! when you go awol end of September we'll all know where you are 😁

SoyYo · 14/06/2019 20:31

I wasn’t that worried Ella it’s DH who’s making a big fuss...men eh Wink
They can’t take life in the fast lane!Grin

Laska2Meryls · 14/06/2019 20:38

We have eaten.(it was yum ) . and I have just popped in whist DH is making bread for the morning ( yes, he is that mad baker!)..then we are to settle in to KE and a bit of gratuitous murder , we hope!

Love the silk Spanish outfit Soy BUT BUT BUT. you Simply Have to keep the black Jigsaw dress!! Right?!!!!!.. It is so you (I told you it would be, trust your best sister , Laska) & Ask your DH!!, He knows a good thing when he sees it!
So Toast checked blouse? .Shall i or not,? its Friday I am in Wine and could be about to hit the Toast button..

Not ..I love your explanation of their name.. In the presence of a True Scientist/ Grammatarian / Philosopher, I can tell... Smile

Laska2Meryls · 14/06/2019 20:40

Bogata!!.. I only get to work In small provincial Island County Hall....Sad

Laska2Meryls · 14/06/2019 20:44

I like to buy from out island shops also , luckily there are some fab independent clothes shops here selling great stuff as in the summer we get all the Down from Londons, (aka Jemimas and Tristans) the posh Yotties and the 2nd homers, ( so we wait for winter, when they have all gone home and all the lovely stuff is reduced !!)

Laska2Meryls · 14/06/2019 20:46

I Love the little bag too Soy ..Did you get any shoes this time?

NotAnActualSheep · 14/06/2019 20:48
Grin

I KNEW it...!

(and you all made me choke on my Wine )

yy to sporting the local independent traders with your ill gotten gains I agree, the culottes would make me think of wearing the Spanish sea whenever I wore them. Such a beautiful print. I think I'd be a bit nervous of going there too soy. Have you been before?

NotAnActualSheep · 14/06/2019 20:56

Go on laska - go for the toast button. Just to see. For never - it's this one?. You can always send it back if its awful. And you may as well get the dhuggie too, while you're there.

SoyYo · 14/06/2019 21:23

You’re incorrigible Laska! You already persuaded me to try the Jigsaw so I’ll think about it Smile can’t dilly dally as it arrived last week and only have a few days left to return...no in the end I didn’t get any shoes mainly because I bought the cocoon chair (‘‘tis lovely and relaxing and I miss it already).
Tbh I have to reign in my spending now I have a man of leisure to keep to the manner he’s become accustomed to (with my ill gotten gains as not hilariously pointed out Grin). And I bought the gold Gabor wedges just before I left.
It really was a total unexpected bonus finding the boutique silk fabulousness and little bag.
Now you is another matter: scratch the Toast itch I say! Wink
