I ordered:

grey slate classic cords
checked shirt in "blush"
Silk cotton scoop neck in green/blue
khaki straight leg crops
hotchpotch shirt in damson

Am definitely returning:
hotchpotch shirt - it's actually very nice but pattern is too overwhelming for my skin tone

Not sure about the silk cotton scoop neck. It's nice but not entirely sure I want to spend £18 on it.

The check shirt, classic cords and khaki crops are definitely staying. The shirt is a great fit - very flattering indeed.

I bought

purple cardigown
black skinny jeans for dd
brown coat with white dots for dd

they are all fab and have kept them all

FranSanDisco · 07/01/2010 15:46

For myself I bought the winter wrap cardigan in black, orange essential crew and gold belt. DD got a pair of baseball boots and DS a pair of plimsolls and a hat. Had really overspent in both last years winter sale and the summer sale so pretty restrained this time. Keeping it all

I got the pink patent slouchy bag (love it!!), the treat yourself wallet (reduced from £49 to £14.50!), printed tie top and easy winter tunic. It is all staying!

tulpe · 07/01/2010 19:01

MissWooWoo - what's the cardigown like?

Cabatach which print did you get for your Treat Yourself wallet? I was looking at those but the only colourway which caught my eye was already sold out

Am also loving the sound of pink patent slouchy bag.....am off to have another look at the site

I got the dalmation spot print wallet. Def recommend it - opened the packaging and went wow! A complete bargain at £14.50.

All the patent slouchy bags have gone now but keep checking the website as some returns do keep coming back in and it is a stunning bag! I had had my eye on the pink one all season and they went within a couple of hours of the sale starting. There are a couple on ebay at the moment.

My second tranche arrived yesterday - all keepers. So we now have:

DD1's autumn wardrobe for next year - three Tshirts and 2 pairs trousers - all in green and brown which will look fab with her red hair.

Me:
2 pairs pumps - purple and green.
Brown Urban mac

DH:
Blue chino-y type trousers.

Too much really - but lovely stuff.

largeginandtonic · 07/01/2010 19:19

Marleybone coatin green. V nice keeping it.

Zebra print bow pumps. Love them, staying.

MrsSeanBean · 07/01/2010 19:28

Vintage ruched pot bellied shift dress in moss green print

Marvellous Hideous merino dress

Both returned. V disappointing this season, and spring preview not much 'cop' either.

I got the Navy patent slouchy bag and came really close to sending it back as it was so large and stiff and wouldn't fit over my shoulder. Luckily they'd put on the delivery note that it would slouch with stuff in it. It bagged after a few days and now sits perfectly on my shoulder.

I bought the green union jack wallet at full price 3 months ago and it's fantastic so I ordered the spotty one at £14.50 too to have in the summer.

I bought 3 of the twist tops when they were £14.50 and loved them so bought four more when they were reduced to £8.50 this week.

Also the grey cardigown which is wonderful though much bigger than last years dressing gown.

The black rosette top with the gold rosettes - this is fantastic quality, really thick jersey - may be the best top I've ever bought - I paid £22.50 a couple of weeks ago, think its been reduced even further.

I've just ordered the green wrap around wool dress as it came back into stock in my size but its not here yet. Other mumsnetters have said they like it.

Cabatach · 07/01/2010 19:49

LaurieFairyCake do you use your union jack wallet with your patent slouchy bag? I ask as I was a bit unsure as thought the wallet would fit into the secure zipped pocket in the bag but it doesn't. Don't know how safe it is to have the wallet in the main part of the bag as it is a magnetic clasp close and not a zip.

LaurieFairyCake · 07/01/2010 19:51

I do carry it around in the main part as I'm not really wandering in dodgy areas and find that its all squished under my arm and there's so much 'bag' that no one could really tell there's a wallet in there

CremeDeMenthe · 07/01/2010 19:53

Denim mini skirt in black - worn pretty much continuously ever since!

DS2 got a shaggy-lined hoody and black skinny jeans, which were a big hit.
DD got a funky print skirt and a tshirt - ditto.

Thanks! It would have been a shame to have sent it back as I have several boden magnetic clasp only bags!

Earthstar · 14/01/2010 18:59

@Urban mac in black just arrived
Had a compliment on Day 1 so quite pleased about that!

Olivia101 · 14/01/2010 19:21

Hello
I bought:
Biker jacket in green.
Snappy wool jacket in black. Really nice, although the sleeves are a bit short.
Hand printed cardigan in brown.
Patent belt.
Favourite roll neck in black.

I am happy with everything, but had to send the belt back since it was too small.

SomeWhereOverTheRainbow4 · 14/01/2010 20:17

I got two mini boden tops for birthday pressies for my nieces, the Doodle top in blue and the Patchwork Applique T-shirt in purple! They're both gorgeous and not being returned at all!!! x

HarrogateMum · 14/01/2010 20:32

I ordered marvellous merino dress in purple - love it. The wrap dress in green, love it too...and also the spot print wallet, love it! Now I have gone and bought some bloody spring stuff...gaaaah step away from the computer!

wuglet · 14/01/2010 20:41

boys stripy tshirt and girls doodles tshirts for DS (well they look unisex)
