Couldn't think of any sort of creative title, I'm afraid! Link to old thread

Lovel beach laska😍Enjoy the sun☀️☀️☀️

Cherries those sunglasses are fab! I bought some M&S ones last summer and I really rate the quality. They really suit you, not too big at all.

Never those navy trousers, the long ones, are gorgeous! Did you say Tesco? Very nice indeed

Great tees Just! Love the wolf one.

Am rather cross... I allowed myself to be bamboozled by salesperson at our Boots equivalent who talked me out of the el cheapo The Ordinary Vitamin C serum which I’ve been quite happy with, and I purchased the much more expensive La Roche Posay one. I wear it under moisturiser and sunscreen as it is supposed to make spf work better, etc.... Seems it oxidises rather brilliantly. I now resemble that horrid man from America, and my brand new “Just Say it in French” t-shirt has an orange stain around the neck. This is what happens when you go shopping on your birthday and you feel old and vulnerable!!!

ilovecherries · 12/07/2019 12:47

Happy birthday, just. You look lovely and you seem such a great person, so don’t let the number on the calendar make you feel bad! xx

justi Happy Birthday!! 🎂Wine maybe you can go back to the shop and ask for a refund? Just because the cream is not suitable for you/gave you hives and stained your t shirt. You do look lovely in all your buys, I only own 2 logo t shirts (err except my Harley Davidson biker T’s) but I do really like them on you and the dress really is gorgeous on you. So have a Fabulous day and Hope you get spoilt rotten!

whisky yes I’ll report back

laska gorgeous jumper! I totally get why it’s better to invest in Toast and when they reduce tbh not much different from Hush. I’ll have to give it a go as you all rave so much about it.
As for that beach pic I am sooo Envy I need some Med!! 😎 Have a wonderful siren day 🧜‍♀️

justilou1 · 12/07/2019 15:24

Thanks Ladies - I think I’m more horrified that I left the house looking ok, and returned looking like a Trumpista, not a Hushista!!! Retail therapy today was two hideously expensive scented candles that had been re-released just in time for my birthday yesterday. I’m not going to burn them. I’m going to keep them for ever!!!

neveradullmoment99 · 12/07/2019 17:00

Happy birthday @justilou1
So warm up here in Scotland today for a change.
@huff, yes, they are from tesco. They really are much nice in real life too. Lovely flattering fit and only £18. Only downside - no pockets but hey ho at the price you just cant be too picky.

Ellapaella · 12/07/2019 17:19

Do my stuff arrived
Love the star print culottes - these are a 10 and I’m happy with the size. They feel fine on the waist band.
The Jayne dress I absolutely love.. I was hoping I wouldn’t like one of them as I can’t really afford both but I want to keep them as both are lovely.
Also these black wide leg cropped trousers from H&M, nice but maybe a bit formal? What do you all think?

neveradullmoment99 · 12/07/2019 17:21

All look great @Ella but the dress is absolutely so lovely on you.

Ellapaella · 12/07/2019 17:23

Thanks never - I'm really pleased with the dress actually, such a flattering fit. I'm going to wear it tonight to my friends daughters 21st birthday party.

Gilbert82 · 12/07/2019 17:30

The star print culottes are beautiful! Would you say they are true to size @Ellapaella? I’m a 10ish on the bottom (probably an 11 if there was such a size!)

Ellapaella · 12/07/2019 17:42

Exactly the same as me @Gilbert82 I between sizes and these are a good fit, they are a 10. Reviews say they come up big but I find them fine.

Gilbert82 · 12/07/2019 17:51

Thank you! Just looked online and they seem to be out of stock now, will keep checking as I’m sure there will be returns (fingers crossed!)

SoyYo · 12/07/2019 17:52

Oh Ella you make everything look great! (It’s the hanger!Wink)
I think both starry culottes and H&M trousers look fab on you so couldn’t decide between the two. Both so easy to dress up or down (don’t think the H&M are so formal either but could be made to look more formal with a shirt). In any case you could wear with boots well into late autumn so I say keepers.
The dress is simplicity at its best and so flattering that you must keep too!

SoyYo · 12/07/2019 17:55

My Kensington starry dress (same fabric as culottes?) has arrived and the 10 is fine I think?
There’s a minuscule I mean minuscule you have to look really hard but I’m hyper critical boob gap in the widest part of my boobs which could easily be sorted with a clip on thingy but otherwise inclined to keep. 12 is ooo in any case.
I’m going to try my old Kensington in a 12 and post below for comparison

Mmm thinking about it maybe the 12 is better for me, this is last years Kensington
Keep or return the 10 starry Kensington?

@SoyYo I like the fit of the second one best - both are nice but the second just looks spot on perfect x

Ellapaella · 12/07/2019 18:01

You look gorgeous in it in fact.

SoyYo · 12/07/2019 18:09

Thanks Ella yes good job I have it to compare too, and the 12 is lovely cool and roomy too.
So I think I’ll return the starry 10 and keep an eye on the site for a return, love the starry fabric and it’s the only shape Hush dress (with the Greek widow and Jamie) that I’ve kept so far but if not they’ll be new versions to try in the autumn.

Are you keeping your haul? It does look amazing on you 😍

twosoups1972 · 12/07/2019 18:10

Love the dress just and I really like your trainers as well.

@SoyYo have been looking at those products with interest for dd. She currently uses Cantu shampoo which is supposed to be CG approved (although I know strictly speaking you shouldn't use any shampoo!) and the 80p Tesco conditioner which everyone seems to love. Two weeks to go until her CG cut! She has a party on Sunday and really wants it straightened. I know it's not good for her hair but she feels so meh about it I'm going to do it for her as a one off.

twosoups1972 · 12/07/2019 18:13

@Ellapaella love love love the starry culottes! Where are they from? And the dress is just lovely on you, hope you have a great time tonight.

Ellapaella · 12/07/2019 18:18

Thanks @twosoups1972 they are Hush - the new stock, selling out pretty fast so glad I got them. @SoyYo yes I'm going to keep it all as I really like it all, couldn't really choose what to send back to be honest. The dress was £40 in the sale so definitely keeping and the culottes are lovely - such a lovely material and very comfortable.

Huffthepuff · 12/07/2019 19:51

@Ellapaella that dress looks fabulous on you! Love both sets of trousers too!

FuzzyPuffling · 12/07/2019 21:09

Ella those culottes look wonderful on you.

and SoyYo I am SO ENVIOUS of your Kensington. I wish I'd bought one when I first saw them (Grrrr). Fabulous. Both of them.
