Evening all
Still feeling ropey myself so sympathies to LTEC and anyone else also laid low by bugs.
DH/House style - DH not really into clothes as fashion although he likes to have nice things ifyswim. He is very tall (but also very overweight - at saying that but is true) so is very difficult to buy things for him as he is too big for e.g. Zara menswear. He is a v unadventurous dresser anyway - not a hint of the metrosexual about him - so is mainly a uniform of plaid/check shirts and jeans/fine cords, 99% Polo Ralph Lauren and Gant. Luckily he loathes that public school/Hackett look so no coloured jeans or cords . For work he has to wear a suit - used to be Gieves and Hawkes but has recently invested in bespoke Savile Row tailoring - is amazing actually how much slimmer the bespoke stuff makes him look - I was as guess it is bloke's version of couture.
House - PCPlum - your old house is lovely. We are lucky enough to live in a big old period house with lots of character. It was all farrow and balled when we bought it but is looking a bit shabbier now (been here 3 years). House needs a lot of expensive external stuff (like a new roof and windows) so that seems to take all available funds. I would say I was more houseproud( in terms of tidiness etc) than into styling it. I also HATE all the getting quotes and co-ordinating tradesmen stuff.
Right, now I can't remember what everyone was linking to
Clogs - not keen on any I have seen thus far - however, like Fleecy I am extremely persuadable and am sure will be in them before the summer is out.
Where is the link to the Malene Birger cardigan - think I missed that one.
Right now what do we all think about dressed-up trackie bottoms as seen in all the Sunday supplements? Someone somewhere linked to these - what do we think. Cheap enough to take a punt no?
Some other good sweatshirt material items on that site - am thinking with black rats instead of winter wool sweater dresses as a kind of halfway house to spring.
this, thisand this
I also like these shoes - I can't really do high and vertiginous a la Louboutin/Choo - has to be chunky. I also love the shoes that the model wears in the whistles website shots (can't link, crap site) - black gladiator sandal things with gold embellishment on the cuff part?
I am still obsessing musing over leather leggings, found these in the matches sale and these in the US. My sis lives in the US. Any US knowledgeable types want to tell me about Victoria's Secret sizing - I am a topshop 8 so do you think I should go for a US 4 or 2? I sometimes am a US2 depending on brand.
