Those Dune brogues look great laska 👌

FantailsFly · 10/09/2019 12:47

Has anyone tried the Hush cord boilersuit? It would be awesome if it was tailored round the waist but I think (if only the model would move her arm) it’s too gathery ...

Laska2Meryls · 10/09/2019 14:02

I may still order the Dune ones, but when I took my boots back at lunchtime, I picked up these what do you think? Plainer (and quite light weight) but nice I thought..also with 20%off so a bargain .

Laska2Meryls · 10/09/2019 14:09

I also might have bought this jacketBlush

twosoups1972 · 10/09/2019 14:12

@laska personally I like the Dune ones better. Nice jacket, lovely colour.

Just had my hair colour done and I'm not happy. Despite going to this salon for years and having the same colour, it's come out really dark Sad I phoned them and they said I could either have some hi-lights put in, or they would do it for free next time. But I've got to live with it till then. Is Head and Shoulders shampoo any good for lightening it?

Sooverthemill · 10/09/2019 14:15

Can anyone tell me what hush skirt sizes are like? I usually wear uk 8 or equivalent ( so 26 or 27in jeans). But today my Boden cord midi skirt came and it's not cord despite the description saying so ( but I ordered it on my phone which has tiny writing) and also the 8 is a little snug (and this summer I have bought 2 pairs of Boden trousers which I needed in a size 6 so I think their sizes are not not my tummy). So, I like this? But which size? I've not had a skirt from hush before

twosoups1972 · 10/09/2019 14:18

Nice skirt @soover I find Hush skirts come up quite big. Why don't you try both an 8 and a 6? I think they usually offer free returns.

Laska2Meryls · 10/09/2019 14:27

two soups yes I might like the Dune more also, and think ill order those also, but as Clarks honoured the 20% off voucher I used for the boots if I bought inthe shop ,I thought id give them a try

SoyYo · 10/09/2019 15:40

I love the mustard colour of the M&S but prefer the Dune to the plainer Clarks version laska.

soover if the Hush skirt had elasticated waistband I’d say definetely size down to a 6, and reading the only review on it appears quite generous...but it has a fixed waistband so dunno 🤷‍♀️ try both to be on the safe side. It does look great online

SoyYo · 10/09/2019 15:44

How annoying about your hair soups! I’m thinking about dying it again after nearly 2 years dye free but I think I’ll go for a semi perm colour as I’d be sooo annoyed if I ended up too dark. It just doesn’t look good anymore (even though I am naturally dark brown with silver streaks now) it would be too harsh now. But you’re a good decade younger than me so ask DD’s for their opinion before deciding as it may be not be as bad as you think?

twosoups1972 · 10/09/2019 15:48

I would do @Soy but I am denial that I colour my hair. Think they all suspect but I still deny it Grin Grin

Laska2Meryls · 10/09/2019 16:05

Its quite odd really that my hair has gone pink ,,! if people comment I always tell them that its my natural colour
🤣🤣
Ive ordered the Dune shoes.. hopefully they will be comfortable..if they are ok then I will decide which to keep..

Ellapaella · 10/09/2019 16:37

Laska I love that M&S jacket so much! And such a good price.... not fair I'm on a no spend 😥
I like the Dune shoes better than the clarks ones... but both are nice.

dontcallmelen · 10/09/2019 16:39

Just sounds like a good plan especially if having surgery hope it goes ok, Melbourne sounds as though it could be a nice escape from the weather you are having, albeit not a great reason you will be visiting if relative is giving cause for concern, but at least you will have some company & a catch up💐
Laska jacket is great & a good price, both shoes good but I think if the dune ones are comfy they look a bit more brogue like iykwim.
soover yy order both sizes, hush sizing is usually pretty bonkers like most places these days, tis lovely skirt.
Soupsthats soo annoying, maybe go back & see what they think would be best, hilights might lift it a bit which could help if it’s to dark blooming nuisance though.
Soy love love Chrissie & yy Sezane some really great stuff Ella am well jel I love her voice.

Sooverthemill · 10/09/2019 18:49

Okay so I'm going to order the skirt but I'm feeling broke. Does anyone on here have a refer a friend code that I can use ( I never ever pay attention to the pop up) and I can order it via my DDs email and just pay her back? And that way I think we both get money off?

Ellapaella · 10/09/2019 19:01

@Sooverthemill i have PM'd you

Sooverthemill · 10/09/2019 19:20

ella thanks

Laska2Meryls · 10/09/2019 20:05

Well I have tried the Clarks shoes on again at home ,and you know, they are really nice, slim fit and pretty cool looking IMO (the Clarks photo doesn't do them justice at all) .DH also really likes them (and he has a really good eye for style ) ..

The Dune ones will have to be really good (at nearly £40 more) to have me keep them .. The odd thing is I have realised that I have bought a size bigger than i would normally, a 6 instead of a 5 (I am sure my feet haven't got any bigger!)..I just tried them off the shelf and asked the guy for the other one,, thought they were a 5 ... I may go back and try the 5s on, but the shoes I have are a good fit.. .

Am now wondering whether to reorder the shiny Clarks orinoco spice boots in the 6 . they were fab, but just a bit narrow on me .

DH also likes the jacket, its a keeper and a fab price at £35.. I recommend you try it .. (its sort of an antique gold shade )

Sooverthemill · 10/09/2019 20:27

Damn it won't work as they know it's me! I will have to,log on via DHs laptop at the weekend. Annoying

dontcallmelen · 10/09/2019 20:29

Ooh that’s good Laska, is it maybe due to coming up a bit narrow?
The jacket is a real bargain & a lovely colour, thinking it might go with your trusty Chester trainers & if the dune ones aren’t perfect then forty quid saved.

Sooverthemill · 11/09/2019 08:01

So I kept thinking about the skirt and bought it anyway. But I didn't get the 'hush friend' premium post option! I think they knew I tried to trick them. Oh well that will teach me to try to break them. I do wish they would offer more frequent promo codes.

neveradullmoment99 · 11/09/2019 09:01

Theyve taken my hush friends away too just now. Maybe a sale is imminent? @Laska2Meryls have you still got yours?

Laska2Meryls · 11/09/2019 09:24

Yes , maybe they are having another rejig of the friends thing, they did that previously ( about a year ago I think); and didnt put me back on until I complained!!

Icant imagine that they are going into sale again; some of the summer sale stuff is still up there..
I have sent back much more than I have kept the last couple of seasons ,and tbh not keen on this AW offering, so I would not be that surprised to lose my friends status!!
HoweverI really Hushing it today, olive Chamonix khaki vest and granite green raw edge linen top, also my nude starry trainers from a couple of summer ago ..

Sooverthemill · 11/09/2019 09:49

It's annoying because I've spent about £200 in last 3 weeks so I think I am a good customer. I've emailed to ask them why it wasn't an option.

ilovecherries · 11/09/2019 11:21

I’ve just checked, mine has gone as well - as has the option to pay for premium delivery.
