So easy to do online.
Might look rubbish on me.
If it all looks fab I'm going to have to hide receipts from DP (and I NEVER do that!)

Dress 1

Dress 2

it all looks a bit 'thriller' to me!!

Ellooo Thomcat , haven't spoken for a looong time hey.

Not sure about them, but Im 5ft nowt and they're far to dramatic for my build. Id be all dress and no body. The parachute one is the sexiest though!

I am however totally in love love love with All Saints clothes. As much as I like all the embroidery anglaise and gypsy etc , its sooo refreshing to find some urban stylish clothes. I bought a leather jacket from there for my birthday last week.Something like that I never ever ever buy normally, but I twisted dh's arm in Selfridges after returning his slightly off but oh so very well meaning Satellite Jewellery!

DR - boots are fab. Look like they'll be super soft.Love em.

Melsy - hiya - which jacket did you get. Just been looking at the leather, it's all lovely.

Prefer the allsaints boots

Flamesparrow · 02/09/2008 21:49

i was eyeing up the leather last night - what you get?

melsy · 02/09/2008 22:07

I got the feathers one [excited cheeky childs face]!!!!

I wore it on Saturday for our anniversary dinner out, other than that Im terrified to wear it!!!!!

DarrellRivers · 02/09/2008 22:13

well , am tempted to buy the boots
think will order on-line, try and review
love the jacket melsey,i tried on this but in the end bought a black Zara biker jacket last week as thought I looked a bit too hoody-like in the AllSaints one

melsy · 02/09/2008 22:15

Links going to main page DR , is it the cobra one? Yer seems it would be all hood! I do love though how things are all about drapey fabrics though and sort of not quite structured but are.

expatinscotland · 02/09/2008 22:16

the boots are growing on me. but black and not chocolate or dirty white.

Thomcat · 02/09/2008 22:17

Melsy - it's bloody gorg.
I don't think that £300 odd quid is that much for a leather jacket. Esp one that beautiful!

Flamesparrow · 02/09/2008 22:20

that is the one i was looking at

DarrellRivers · 02/09/2008 22:23

seriously, I tried on a jacket in Jigsaw for 495 I think which was horrid (really quilted) and one in whistles which was similarly priced but had buttons and not as nice, the allsaints jackets were well priced
yes the black expat
cobra jacket, all hood, practical but bit bulky around the neck region

melsy · 02/09/2008 22:25

Just havent bought a luxury jacket or anything for years, feels weird!

I sooooo wasnt planning on it, I had my eye on exchnaging the satelite things for a plain silver Shaun leane bracelet or an amazing Georg jenson one, couldnt decide,dh was grumpy me taking so long, so gave up and went into the fashion bit, started drooling and ohmygawsh I just had to!!!

expatinscotland · 02/09/2008 22:26

they look really soft, DR.

i still yearn for those Bronx ones, though.

BloodySmartarse · 02/09/2008 22:28

i am after some work/rigger style boots atm...
am a pesky size 5 which rules out a lot but am loving these for eg

BloodySmartarse · 02/09/2008 22:31

theyre f'ing fur lined fgs.... {purrrrrrrrr}

BloodySmartarse · 02/09/2008 22:31

obv fake fur...

DarrellRivers · 02/09/2008 22:33

ooh I love autumn, I keep wanting it to get slightly cooler so I can wear my new jacket more

DarrellRivers · 02/09/2008 22:33

BSA, v cosy

BloodySmartarse · 02/09/2008 22:35

but they start from size 6!!

melsy · 02/09/2008 22:36

lol me too DR, bring on the polo neck , biker boots weather! I want some knee high ones?

although saying that I am sad not have seen much sun and more chance to wear strappy vest dresses here and there.

BloodySmartarse · 02/09/2008 22:36

all saits one looking more attractive all the time...

but, im lazy, and i like my shoes/boots to be taken on/off in a milisecond... all those laces look like a faff...

DarrellRivers · 02/09/2008 22:37

But not too cold, as can't fit much knitwear under said jacket (and wouldn't want to look too bulky]

expatinscotland · 02/09/2008 22:38

am so pregnant just now i have to live vicariously though boots and handbags.

am instead focusing on kitting out the girls.

DarrellRivers · 02/09/2008 22:40

Nevermind expat, you'll have a gorgeous baby soon
[have just had v early mc here]
