In the last 2 days, 2 people have commented on my bag and coat...."ohhh is that from Boden" .... ...<pats self on head>

Coat is a rain coat from Millets
Bag is from Lakeland.

lol

I think other savy shops are seeing the Boden effect - and getting on the bandwagon so to speak

link to the lookylikey raincoat from Millets please

here you go

sorry thats the poncho, I have a jacket in that pattern

liking the paca mac

just looked on the site and the coat version isn't on there. Its excatly the same style as the dandeloin one but in the spot design.

Boden is doing Orla Kiely this year IMO. Too similar to not notice. The stem print design, the bags and wallets are almost the same style as OK last year, the bright berets, the rain hats and even the mugs!!

I am a bit disappointed that Boden needs to copy another designer, but it is great for those of us that cannot afford the read thing.

Huh...I thought my fake boden clobber would be far more impressive then 8 posts.

I might sulk today.

tesco have boden looky-likey girls velour stripey dress (with tights) and a tshirt with a butterfly appliqué on the front and stripey sleeves.

IMO the best way to dress boden-stylie is to fake it (or get a sale bargain )

it's the way you wear 'em, obviously. You must just scream BOden

how is that baby? Haven't seen any pics lately. If my DS is 18 months ( [gulp]) yours can't be far off 2 . how did this happen?

2 people thought my £8 cardigan from Asda was from Whistles. You are right ,it is how you wear things .

The most expensive thing can look like a piece of old toot on the wrong person.

Gawd that was confusing.

You have the spot style in the dandelion print yes?

Loving the print, does the hood stay uo in the rain [hopeful]

other way around BALD.

I have the dandelion style in the spot pattern....

Ummm I think

MrsJC, he'll be 2 in january.

He is still adorable and cute and funny too now but man oh man, he's hard hard hard work.

There are some new photos on my profile from our Hols.

Maidemess - I need more info on that £8 asda cardie!

he's still yummy LTH
I thought he was much older than my DS. isn't it funny how slowly time goes when you're that pregnant.

cornsilk, Ok I will search for said cardi online to get a pic...

Can't find it, but its from the 'Moda' range, and has a lovely crinkle look to it, with a teal an dgreen stripe detail around the waist and flowers everywhere else.

And i got one exactly like this in TK MAxx for £12 that freinds thought was

whistles

this is the nearest thing to the asda one

Blimey that's really nice! Hope my asda has them in! I got an ace pair of trousers from asda half price for £7 - dead comfy and look good. Saw a really nice mac there as well. I am a convert! Used to always shop in GAP, FCUK, Coast etc. What a fool I've been all this time.

Well, have a look at this. if it was in Jigsaw or Kew it would be at least £60 I reckon.
cheap as chips

wats, for £12 I'm willing to take the risk!

I need to stop buying cardi's though. I am a cardi addict.
