Ok so which one of you just swiped the linen tee from out of my JL basket eh? Not nice!! 🙄😂..
So I have grabbed the red ecru check shirt ( not sure about the smock style with my norks but thought id give it a go) , the Parchment trousers that Cherries likes above ( may be small on the waist) and a replacement slate cotton linen jacket as its cheaper than the one I kept from the Toast sale last week , which can now go back ..

(Those 12 Alix trousers may have came from me as I had mine refunded yesterday having kept the 10.. )

Saurus72 · 30/07/2020 06:39

Ooh, not me - they only had M when I looked. I got the almond print shirt though.

Laska2Meryls · 30/07/2020 07:01

I am sure more will be back, I also was refunded the linen trousers in S yesterday and they haven't appeared ... I definitely want a smaller pebble shoulder gather T though if I can.. the one I have is really too big ( but fine as a pj top which I will use it for)

Laska2Meryls · 30/07/2020 07:06

goldpendant .. on ebay . I had a spectacular day yesterday made over 330 on 8 items ! But a couple of bidders went completely mad out bidding each other on one Hush top and one ended up paying 75 for something that I paid 49 for ( and as it was bnwt, it was clearly shown on the label! 🤷‍♀️). Crazy.. ( but helps with the Toast purchases!)

MaudesMum · 30/07/2020 08:44

I'm (fairly) local to Kilver Court @AFingerofFudge - and it had a lot of nice stuff in a couple of weeks ago - so, enjoy!

Saurus72 · 30/07/2020 11:37

Sorry, I can’t recall who posted about M. Hulot bags but I really like what she does. I ordered this earlier: mhulot.co.uk/products/vesu-bag-tan

A great size, perfect for wearing crossbody and I think the colour will be perfect with my A/W stuff - navy, olive green, black. V excited and thanks for the recommendation!

Freesialime · 30/07/2020 12:12

M hulot have had a couple of bargains on their instagram sample sale page this week. Beautiful stuff.

Countmeout · 30/07/2020 12:14

Well the Ashley jeans have arrived and straight back. They are definitely not an 8. Might be a 14 ?

cooldarkroom · 30/07/2020 16:35

Saurus, Hoorah, just ordered the bag too, I looked before but couldn't justify paying full price !

Saurus72 · 30/07/2020 16:41

Ooh which colour did you go for? I kind of preferred the navy tbh but it would be quite limiting in what I could wear it with. I’m hoping it will be the kind of leather that will age well. Really really need to stop buying stuff now 🙄

cooldarkroom · 30/07/2020 16:51

It was hard to decide, I bought the blue, & may end up giving it to my DD for Xmas ... on the other hand.....

AFingerofFudge · 30/07/2020 18:07

I'm back from Kilver Court! I rather thought that Kilver Court was going to be really busy, but in fact it was pretty empty. The Toast outlet is really bright and spacious, and they had 3 parts of the shop: there was the new stuff, great to get a few ideas for saving up (theres plenty of things I'd like to buy. Interestingly I was really liking the fairisle jumper but the reality is that it was quite scratchy and rough which has put me off it.
Then there was the sale stuff (set out in sizes) from this last season, so lots of stuff that we've seen cheaper on John Lewis but also the stuff that Toast had in their sale - it was all the same prices as their online sale. Then the interesting stuff was the things from previous seasons as their prices were really good. I got a checked shirt for £38, and a wrap denim dress for £45, and a Dora sleeveless dress for £35- I could have spent an awful lot more!!! I'd definitely want to return, it is an hour and half from me so I'll have to plan in a few months to go that way with DH under the guise of a day trip somewhere else (he'll know straightaway!!)

Thanks @AFingerofFudge - sounds like you got some really lovely bargains. It really really makes me want to go now! Interesting it was quiet - my main experience of outlet shopping is Bicester Village which is always ridiculously busy.

Gymntonic · 30/07/2020 18:48

Ooo @AFingerofFudge I spy the green sleeveless sundress that featured briefly in the online sale. I am a long way from Kilver Court thoughSad

Alsohuman · 30/07/2020 19:05

I had a feeling about that fairisle jumper...

My oldest friend lives just outside Llandeilo, I’m very much looking forward to our next visit.

Moominmammaatsea · 30/07/2020 20:18

A few more sale dregs now live on JL!

AuldFox · 30/07/2020 21:10

Thanks v much for your insights Afinger
Looks like it’s worth a small detour but probably not a dedicated trip from where I am.

Moominmammaatsea · 30/07/2020 21:22

We’re off to London tomorrow evening so I will be lurking in the Islington Toast shop on Saturday afternoon. I’m happy to report back on sale stock (and potentially help with any direct order requests if anyone has anything specific in mind? I’m assuming that the shops are able to post garments out to customers?)

Moominmammaatsea · 30/07/2020 21:57

I’m also glad to report that I collected my indigo pleat front trousers today and (drum roll) they are the right size! They’re actually slightly too big around the waist (my usual problem with Toast trousers) but because they’re double buttoned at the waist at the front I can cinch them in by fastening the outer button on the inner hole (if that makes sense? Or maybe it’s the other way around?) I absolutely love them and I will feel so stylish wearing them to the galleries & museums we’re booked into in London over the next week. Japan it won’t be, but London it will be!

Thank you, JL! Although someone in the warehouse clearly hates me as I ordered a pair of red Saltwaters and...received a rose gold retro pair? Although actually, they have done me a massive favour as I really like the retro style (hides a multitude of non-pedicure sins) and the rose gold has pushed me out of my style comfort zone. I like to think that JL isn’t just messing with my mind and has actually re-deployed its personal style assistants to the warehouse to veto customers’ dodgy style choices and set them straight! 😆

AuldFox · 30/07/2020 22:31

Haha I’m imagining little JL elves tutting away and correcting all your sartorial faux pas moomin

Grin

Ps please report back on the sizing of the jumpers when you pop in the shop.

paintyhands · 30/07/2020 23:30

@Moominmammaatsea I’m so glad you got the trousers! Would you post a photo of what you’re wearing them with? I’m a bit stuck beyond a tucked-in fine knit jumper so some inspiration would be good. I was debating moving the buttons on mine too as they are slightly loose now.

Laska2Meryls · 31/07/2020 07:13

Missed all the returns this morning ! Did anyone else get anything?

Railingsohno · 31/07/2020 07:31

@Moominmammaatsea Grin brilliant! I would also love to see a photo of the trousers- they sound lovely.
