Tell me things you have bought lately that you love?

[ReflectiveGilet]

Clothes accessories cosmetics everything.

A bomber cardigan in beige. It has a zip front and gathered waist and it goes with pretty much everything. Im going to get a lot of wear out of it!

Is it the Cocoon Body Whip?

I am not sure ..the label says “&sleep” .. it smells gorgeous.

At last!!! A really supportive swim bra to wear under my swimsuit. Now I have a decent shape instead of a floppy 34b .monoboob.

I did the same in 2000 back when we actually had a local cobbler. And I’m still wearing them!

I’d be interested to know what you bought? I’ve been looking for a decent swim bra but end up using a unwired flex bra from M&S which creates a mono boob 😩

Am embracing autum vibes, so have just had this skirt delivered. Fits well and is a good maxi length- i hate the skirts that stop mid calf (very unflattering on me!)

Will wear with a brown / black/ or forest green jumper that I already have.

And waiting for these boots to arrive - will hopefully also go with this outfit

I bought a pair of Levi's ribcage straight leg ankle jeans and absolutely LOVE them!

And a Jigsaw wool cardi in a lovely dark purple.

£10 each on Vinted. New wardrobe staples!

How do the levis fit? Did you take your normal size?

Oh now that’s the thing! My waist is 35”. I buy a 30” or 31”. Which is unbelievable!

I went to a Levi’s shop and tried on loads to get my size, I wouldn’t have chanced it without doing that. Even the website size table wasn’t right, it suggested I was a 33” waist, which was too big when I put them on.

I think with the high waist it gets very confusing. I usually take a 29 in levis (my waist is 30ins). But i tried on some 501s in the US two weeks ago and couldn't get them on 😁. I may take a punt on a vinted pair and can always sell them if they don't fit. I feel like my natural waist is quite high so not sure if this makes a difference.

Levis ribcage are amazing but you have to try them on. I am a 12 and fit into a 30, so relatively true to size for me, but I really would advise going to a shop. They are jeans like no other for apples.

I am long waisted and I like the rib cage for creating the illusion of longer legs and higher waist! They really work on me!

I’m going to Superdrug in a bit and I will be ready with the list this time! Love this thread ❤️

Two beautiful embroidered cardigans from Never Fully Dressed.

I bought from them a few years ago (a blouse) and it wasn't worth the money and i sent it back - disappointed) I browse the site a lot. It looks good. The prices have gone up further still, but it seems the quality has improved!

Diptyque Eau de Sens body lotion. It's a splurge but I've just put it on fresh put of the shower and it just smells so clean and lovely. The scent lasts ages too. I'm going to ask for the body wash for Christmas 🤩

I fell in love with a ring on the Ponte Veccio in Florence. Went away to think about it overnight and when I went back in the morning the shop had closed for the summer. Ended up buying a nice Bvlgari one but couldn’t get that one out of my head it was so different. Fast forward a month and dh surprised me with it! He’d had it shipped when they reopened. Only word of advice is to be conscious of how much your fingers swell in extreme heat as you end up with wrong size!

Oh I have the perfume.. it’s amazing. I bought it in Paris so much cheaper. I think it’s a seasonal fragrance so only for this year so may have to stock up!

Rimmel natural bronzer - from some video on tiktok but it’s so subtle I love it. This and L’Oréal glowtion make me feel quite pretty just now.

Yes me too re the bronzer, I grabbed it in Boots as it was the only one I could find and it's fab!

I bought this but can't work out how to layer it with my GF Growth serum, other serum, retinoids, moisturiser etc. I keep meaning to ask AI

I was away over the summer in the UK and forgot my make up.
Went to the nearest Boots and got some basics from Rommel. The bronzer is the best I’ve ever used!

Cotton muslin pyjamas in a very dark leopard print from H & M, so soft, so comfortable, not see through….I’m actually going to buy another set in a different colour!

Is it really? Id love to have one. I have a normal wand and it is a bit rubbish
