I always love reading these type of threads for enabling inspiration.

I bought three basic t shirts from H&M recently - red and white stripe, mustard and grey. I love them ALL. They have slightly rounded hems which are more flattering on my shape (size 12 apple). And they were only a few quid each. I've been wearing them with denim shorts.

I'm also loving the No 7 Hydraluminous foundation which I tried and bought after seeing it mentioned on here.

I'm in the market for a longline, light grey cardigan for autumn if anyone has bought one recently?

I bought this skirt from Other Stories. Had to size up. I haven’t worn it yet but it’s a lovely fit, nice heavyweight fabric and I think very useful for the winter. With a shirt, a knit etc. I really like it.

Nioxin shampoo, conditioner and treatment--really thickens up my fine hair, will repurchase forever.

This denim jacket which looks nicer on than that photo.

Things I've bought over summer and worn to death are Birkenstock Bali sandals, Havaiana flipflops, a white lace trimmed T shirt from superdry, a jumper from Toast and most recently some boyfriend jeans from Jigsaw that are amazingly soft denim and a great fit.
Also love the L'Oréal extraordinary hair oil and Clarins body oil that I bought recently and my Best Buy this year has been my Roka London backpack, I love it.

@Eustasiavye it’s from Oliver Bonas. It’s current season.

Eustasiavye · 19/08/2019 13:06

Missclare thank you I might take a peak, I love dresses.

LuxuryWoman2018 · 19/08/2019 17:55

proffessionalnomad I loved your post, those culottes you linked are gorgeous.

My new Mulberry bag, for which I paid the princely sum of £4.99 on eBay! It's been authenticated, too (though as a Mulberry fan of old who had to sell my whole collection years ago, I knew it was genuine as soon as I saw it).

I was looking for a small baguette style bag for ages (I'm so glad they're back, I always loved them). So chuffed!

This summer dress which is surprisingly flattering on my chunky apple shaped body.

And these brogues

Beauty pie translucent powder

DM Chelsea boots, roll on autumn so I can wear them!

elizabethreallyismissing · 21/08/2019 07:13

Next coated jeggings in khaki - saw them mentioned on another thread on here, they are fantastic!

ZaZathecat · 21/08/2019 09:01

elizabeth do you have a link? Can't find these on their website.

ItsLeviOsanotLeviosA · 21/08/2019 09:28

Aveeno bodywash, has improved my skin condition so much. I don’t need to moisturise afterwards and my skin is really soft and less flaky! 😬

Clothes wise - I bought this recently www.marksandspencer.com/oversized-satin-3-4-sleeve-shirt/p/p60264298?quickView=true#lightbox-quick which works well as a casual shirt but also paired with smarter trousers for work. I am on the search for a perfect slouchy roll neck black jumper with short sleeves, no luck so far.

KatharinaRosalie · 21/08/2019 09:34

MAC Kajal in brown. I love it so much. I'm very blonde and look a bit like a bunny without make up. One quick swipe with this, and I have eyes. And it looks natural, not like I have a ton of eyeliner on.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 21/08/2019 10:14

I bought a black silk shirt in the M&S sale, which dp seems very taken with!

A black floral oriental print top in Fatface, which I've been wearing loads. Pretty enough to feel dressed up with jeans but loose and comfortable.

Some jersey culottes from Next

AlbertWinestein · 21/08/2019 10:25

A pair of Ugg Kaylee clogs for the fall that were a whole $20 from Poshmark. I figured I’d chance them at that price and then they arrived and they’re completely unworn and oh so comfortable. Look great with my Madewell cropped jeans.

elizabethreallyismissing · 21/08/2019 13:23

Zazathecat here's a photo - might help - pull on coated jeggings!

Really comfy, quite generous sizing, very flattering! I had a black pair as well I was so impressed!

Actually that doesn't help at all does it!
And they are leggings not jeggings but do have bottom pockets.

moonpiggle · 21/08/2019 14:40

My two belts i cant decide which i love the most. One was 99p on ebay with free delivery and the other was £13 on sale from PLT 😊

babyblackbird · 21/08/2019 15:10

A Chloe clutch on a chain in black ( 20th wedding anniversary present from Dh) and a Markus Lupfur jumper in the sale from net a porter.

Topshop “Mom” jeans

www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/jeans-6877054/bleach-mom-jeans-8311167

I feel like they’ve really updated my look and I’ve thrown out my low rise skinny jeans which looked rubbish after I had a baby

pieeye · 21/08/2019 19:48

@Fazednotc0nfused I love those but worried that they will accentuate my c-section shelf. I've just ordered some boyfriend jeans.
