My TOAST catalogue STINKS

So much so I've had to leave it outside the bedroom door.

Its got lovely stuff in it but its making me feel quite peculiar.

Any one else?

it doesn't not have lovely stuff. it probably smells of donkey shite cos the donkey is the most attractively dressed thing in it.

DorotheaPlenticlew · 26/03/2010 19:31

Yeah, they always smell appalling but I think it may be the environmentally-sound ink, or summat like that, so probably we have to just live with it.

Not sure why I look at it anyway, it just makes me cross. Floaty waifish posers in miserable draughty buildings -- pah!

yes! i threw the first one i received away because it stank so much,

dexter73 · 26/03/2010 20:02

I chucked mine into the recycling bin as it stank so much!

Can't smell anything, but was sitting with friend leafing through, taking the piss out of how boring and expensive it was and then I started to like a few things. I could see the churidor working with some sandals and another top....HELP ME...the Toast people have stolen my soul or something...

cyb · 26/03/2010 20:27

I love the minky metallic sandals (£225!!)

smoke and mirros wahwah. you would order something and then wonder why you bought a hessian sack

wahwah · 26/03/2010 20:34

True, true, they are evil aren't they? Even though they sound like every member of my extended family and make me feel all warm and cozy, they truly are after our souls...I still think the churidor could work...

BariatricObama · 26/03/2010 20:36

friend tried those said they were very odd

satonthesofa · 26/03/2010 20:38

My last few have smelt awful too. DH looked at me like I was mad when he handed me the post and I commented, but it really does stink! Enough to have a very quick flick through and then dump outside (in the recycling, of course!) I shall have a better look on-line!
Much nicer stuff this season than last.

DebiNewberry · 26/03/2010 20:39

They do that thing of using incredibly beautiful models to model their overpriced schmutter a la boden.

wahwah · 26/03/2010 20:41

Odd how? Are they horribly baggy on bum and then mad tight on leg. That's my fear, but I seem to be a little obsessed. I need to just stop and get some khakis to to wear with heels, don't I?

BariatricObama · 26/03/2010 22:11

weirdly tight on thigh adn then flappy on leg. much as they look in teh catalogue tbh.

Barbabelle · 27/03/2010 08:39

Mine stinks too. Though I managed to cope with the smell long enough to fall for the alexa sandals - v nice in real life too and not at all smelly (yet).

The Space NK ones are even worse for stinkiness - especially ironic when they're trying to tout v exclusive perfumes. I hold my breath while I look at the pretty pics then pop them straight in the bin recycling.
