Hush! The Herald angels sing.... counting our way down to a Meryl-y Christmas

[Ellapaella]

Hello everyone
New thread

Battersea boots have arrived. Love them. Especially for £55. I think a few of us have these arriving so looking forward to seeing what you all think. Also looking forward to seeing some of these Onyx blush bikers!

@Countmeout it's a very neutral nude colour a bit like ballet slippers nail polish. I think it will go with just as much as black tbh ( though I find black too harsh for my colouring). Try it, you might be surprised.

@Ellapaella they are fab. Sadly I do not need any more boots

We need to fill this thread or we're still going to have a Christmas title at Easter at this rate!

@Ellapaella I was thinking that just yesterday! 😆

@Countmeout what colours do you tend to wear? Nude pink goes very well with burgundy, khaki, navy, dark green, possibly also deep red and rust, as long as it’s a warm pink which it sounds like it is...and black/denim (of course).

Plus also mushroom/elephant grey.

Ok so I’ve caved and bought it. Managed to think what I’d wear it with. I thought it was worth a try at that price and interested to see what the quality it like. Won’t come until Tuesday though.

I fear if I invite myself in and settle down on the sofa, it may enable me even more @ninkanink ! Leather jacket purchased and I'm hoping it is warm in colour on me. Separately, the red long Anya coat was delivered yesterday and it's lovely. I'm sure I recall getting it in my normal size last year and it was too big (and had scunnered myself with trips to the post office returning goods so didn't repurchase in the smaller size). I'm very pleased that I persevered as it's smashing.

Ohhhh I love a good coat...Photo please?

(I know exactly what you mean with the enabling. 😁 )

@ella cool boots!

Yes, great boots! I can’t really think about boots right now or I’ll want them all... 😭😭😭

@Countmeout ooh post a photo! I hope you like it. I keep getting mine out and trying it on. It looks good with jeans, black trousers and a skirt so far!

@AnotherFuckingUsername I liked that coat a lot, glad you have it, I couldn't justify a third new coat this winter or I'd have gone for it.

I'm looking forward to seeing the blush biker that so many of you have ordered... It's lovely but alas that colour is not for me I'm afraid.
@AnotherFuckingUsername the Anya coat is gorgeous. And a very good price in the sale.

It brings me joy (more so than the apparently sausage fingers!). I don't normally wear reds, but just love it.

I think the spring collection is likely to launch next Tuesday as they’re sending out invites to a launch party in Whitechapel on Thursday 6th (already sold out).

@AnotherFuckingUsername - it looks lovely

@Talisin did you have an invite to the event? If so are you near or in London? (If you don't mind me asking)

Anyone going to the sample sale?? It starts today 😊

Another lovely coat really looks good.
My battersea boots are due for delivery tomorrow & blush onyx Saturday

Sad times for me...I’m having such boot cravings!! It doesn’t help that I’ve been needing a pair of boots exactly like that for a couple of seasons (exact style, heel height in particular)... I’ve got lots of pairs of boots but they’re all mid to high heel and I just don’t always want to wear them. 😭😭😭 Never mind.

@AnotherFuckingUsername The coat is beautiful! I love red but have to actually get one. That’s on my list for Black Friday 2020!

@Ellapaella Yes I did (not going though) and yes, I’m a Londoner

@ilovebrie8 not me - I think @whiskyremorse night be going though?
@Ninkanink could you not try the boots? Are you on a no spend? If there's a gap in your wardrobe it would be rude not to try.....

@Ellapaella on checkout as we speak 😆

(I’m on an un-official no spend. But the thing is, I’d rather have a low spend in sales than have to buy at full price!)

So that brings my total clothing buying since Christmas to:

Woollen scarf x 2 - Reiss & Jigsaw
Whistles Bag (eBay)
Hush Boots
Barbour Shirt
Jigsaw Cashmere poncho
Jigsaw ‘Going out’ top

(Plus Swarovski earrings and a headband for my wedding, but those were eBay purchases so I saved a lot)

Also bought some accessories for my home to cheer up the long, dark dreary winter:

Urbania porcelain candle holders
Spinning stars candleholder
Eucalyptus in jar

Sigh. There is only one thing left on my definite ‘wish list’ - some jewellery - which I’m hoping to get in the next few weeks once I have sold some things on eBay.

Will post pics of everything later!

Rubbish photo but this is the 8 which I'm keeping

I keep looking at those flipping boots now! Grr
