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?

So many good posts here.
I love.....
My missoma Lucy Williams coin necklace. Have had it awhile now and it gets endless comments and dresses everything up. I also noticed it makes cheaper dresses look far more expensive. https://www.missoma.com/necklaces/coin-necklace/gold-roman-arc-coin-necklace/4906/?setcurrencyygoogle=GBR&gclid=CjwKCAjw1PqBRBIEiwA71rmtYEM3PB3aIASQ6i8is7njs38NcO030juZ9tX14wV07wSIsLRkED9YRoCx84QAvDDBwE

Best lipstick ever and stays on through coffee, lunch and is still on 6hours later. Flattering shade too. m.lookfantastic.com/bourjois-rouge-edition-velvet-various-shades/10948655.html

And this swimsuit which is so flattering and I swim strapless in it and the support is amazing. Such a great cut!

Vintage 70’s high waisted flares in a petrol blue, fabric is a bit heavy so I’m waiting for the weather to change. Going to wear with black ankle boots and a cream dagger collar zipped blouse

Hush knitwear in the sale. Never had so many compliments and only one return (I ordered quite a few! Blush)

managedmis · 22/08/2019 13:21

Ooh I've loads of stuff to tell you about!

A black and white short sleeve zebra shirt from H&M. Looks smart for work and is actually cool.

Got some olive green wide leg culottes that have a wide belt, they look amazing and seem to match lots of stuff.

A pencil skirt that is very lightweight, grey, plaid lined, but very fine plaid so it just looks grey from a distance. Worn it loads.

managedmis · 22/08/2019 13:23

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

^

Been after a shirt like that for a while. Bought a white silk shirt that has black splodges on it that looks good. I always get my shirts sewn up along the buttons as they do tend to ping open otherwise!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 22/08/2019 13:51

I wore the silk shirt again last night, dressed down with culottes and trainers. I'm really pleased with it and really hope it doesn't shrink, like the last silk item I bought from M&S did!

babyblackbird · 22/08/2019 14:36

@Darls3000 I love Missoma jewellery just bought this necklace and a beautiful pair of earrings ( one of which I lost whilst out the other day ConfusedConfused)

Averting my eyes from any browsing now for at least a month (probably quite a bit longer!) as I need to save up for the next thing on my wish list.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 22/08/2019 15:15

Love that yellow top, Nink.

LuxuryWoman2018 · 22/08/2019 15:28

I have that trench Ninkaminas, so gorgeous isn't it ?

Ninkaninus · 22/08/2019 15:50

I know you do, Luxury - I was enabled by your purchase on the autumn thread! Grin Grin

Yes it’s beautiful! I’ve had to resist getting a yellow bag to go with it - have had my eye on a mulberry in mustard for this whole current season but another one won over it, so now I’ve bumped that onto my wish list for the January sales. Don’t think I’ll actually be able to afford it so soon, mind, but it’s nice to dream. Smile

Ninkaninus · 22/08/2019 15:51

Thanks Remus your approval is greatly appreciated! It’s a lovely colour and ties in so nicely with my capsule wardrobe colours.

managedmis · 22/08/2019 15:59

Wow, nice trench

bert3400 · 22/08/2019 16:07

I brought these beautiful pots on our holiday in France, they are beautiful and very unusual. I love them

White patent loafers from GH Bass. I've worn them so much this summer.

Ninkaninus · 22/08/2019 16:22

Thanks managedmis!

I really like your French pots, bert.

CountFosco they sound amazing!

The £22 ASOS leather look leggings after reading about them on here.

And after watching Emma Hills You tube review, I bought some things from Glossier, and I love them all! The skin tint, the milky cleanser, the moisturiser and the balm.

franklymydearidontgivea · 22/08/2019 17:00

These boots from M & S....just like my husbands Loakes but a fraction of the price and super comfy 😊😏. https://www.marksandspencer.com/leather-block-heel-ankle-boots/p/p60193613?image=SD011T0272011SHXXEC90&color=CHOCOLATE&prevPage=plp

thepurplepenguin · 22/08/2019 18:29

@DoneAdulting What is the sizing like on the Asos leather leggings please?

Osquito · 22/08/2019 18:59

Le Labo - Another 13
I swear having a kid changed the way scents sit on my skin; all my old favourites don’t smell right or even good on me anymore! It’s been 5 years of trying and failing to find a perfume I really love on myself (I don’t have £££ for handbags & am crap at makeup so scent is my thing). I wanted to love Santal 33, but found Tom Ford’s Santal Blush smells better on me, so I thought I’d try a different one from Le Labo. Wore a little spritz out today and got 2 compliments off strangers, thought I smelt pretty nice but that’s cheered me up no end.

Stumpedasatree · 22/08/2019 19:34

@managedmis where did you get your olive culottes from, I like the sound of them!

LuxuryWoman2018 · 22/08/2019 19:44

@Ninkaninus I'm glad you love your trench too, mustard is definitely the right bag colour, or tan I guess.

DuchessOfDukeStreet · 22/08/2019 21:26

A Kemi Telford skirt which is swishy and fabulous and makes me walk with my back straight.

pieeye · 23/08/2019 06:23

@DuchessOfDukeStreet I love Kemi Telford! I have one of her 'Solid Gold' sweatshirts and it's just gorgeous.
