Those Jimmy Choos are bee-yoo-tee-full, LetThemEatCake: if you can afford them, buy them!! (and I shall live vicariously through you)

LOL TheCrackFox!

LetThemEatCake · 01/05/2009 21:00

I am just looking for one more reason to buy them Penthesilaia ...

will they look good with the Theory skirt I linked to? With a plain white t-shirt/ tank.

If yes, then am buying.

And no, can't afford them ... but will switch to a 0% interest credit card and use my health in pregnancy grant to pay for half of them

Penthesileia · 01/05/2009 21:04

You don't need a good reason to buy art.

Yes, I think they'd look super with that lovely skirt.

Ooooh - I'm so envious! The Health in Pregnancy thing wasn't in force last year when I was pregnant: 1/2 a pair of Jimmy Choos! Right or left??

LetThemEatCake · 01/05/2009 21:08

it's bad isn't it?? Bad mummy. But I already live on fruit and veg, I'm a vegan FFS!!!

By the way, label-lovers, I am about to list a pair of strappy snakeskin Jimmy Choos on ebay on the weekend ... size 41 if any one is interested ...

LetThemEatCake · 02/05/2009 20:44

Oh Frock Enablers!!!

sadly this one is going to have to go back. Will never work on someone with hips (ie moi)

sigh.

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 05/05/2009 20:26

Oh those shoes, oh my, buy them, then lend them to me.

I did it

are you a 42? if so, you may borrow them.

francagoestohollywood · 07/05/2009 22:41

OMG, have just found this thread. Can I join in? I need a posh frock.

LetThemEatCake · 07/05/2009 22:48

Yes!! what for, how much you looking to spend, what do you look like, height, build size etc - lay it on us.

We are here to help you spend you're money

francagoestohollywood · 08/05/2009 10:28

Ok, I have 2 events:

First wedding is in the UK (we don't live in the UK anymore, have moved back to Italy). I was thinking to recycle a gorgeous DVF dress I wore only once... But I need something if it's cold.

Second wedding is in September, in Tuscany. Bride is a dear dear dear friend of mine and I'm her "testimone" (don't know how it translates in English, Penthe should know).
I was thinking.... Issa dress?
Will you be able to enable me to get an Issa dress? And shoes to go with it?

I'm 1,72 m and something in between a size 10 and 12. Small, depressed boobs. Short, 1960s hair.

francagoestohollywood · 08/05/2009 10:30

Sorry, first wedding is in the UK in July. And I'll be cold, unless there is a proper heat wave.

Penthesileia · 08/05/2009 10:44

Hey franca!

There are some Issa dresses on this dangerous new site, The Outnet... Any catch you eye?

Testimone = witness, perhaps?

Penthesileia · 08/05/2009 10:45

your

Penthesileia · 08/05/2009 10:46

Do you have a budget?

LetThemEatCake · 08/05/2009 10:47

I refuse to enable someone to buy gorgeous frocks when they have clearly stolen my life (ie the one I am supposed to be having in Italy)

having said that, if I help you, you may invite me to come and stay. So I will take the kid to toddler gym and then come back and spend your money for you.

LetThemEatCake · 08/05/2009 10:47

kids, even. Oooops.

Penthesileia · 08/05/2009 10:51

This is rather fab... But they only have a 44, which might be too big, I fear.

Penthesileia · 08/05/2009 10:51

OMG Cake! I've just read that you bought the shoes!!!

Penthesileia · 08/05/2009 10:53

A bit sober? They only have a UK 8, but it seems a generous 8, depending on your bust size.

francagoestohollywood · 08/05/2009 10:55

No, I think a 44 is fine for me, Issa dresses are small (I tried a few in the sales). Let me have a look...

at the shoes Cake.

LetThemEatCake · 08/05/2009 10:56

yes, but Penth ... scroll down the topics list for my Calling Choogirl post and see what you think - would value your opinion

francagoestohollywood · 08/05/2009 10:56

Oh no, sorry it's a chloe. Oh I love see by chloe.

Penthesileia · 08/05/2009 10:56

What about this? I like this style, but I know it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Penthesileia · 08/05/2009 10:57

I'm going for things with sleeves, btw, to accomodate potential shitty UK weather! and gentle Tuscan autumn...

Penthesileia · 08/05/2009 10:57

Off to look for your thread, Cake...
