Novella! I love you top in your wdywt post!

Thanks! I love it too! Unfortunately, I am gonna be returning it tomorrow. I washed it and it turned into a crazy shape. It also has really bad reviews on the website, so I'm not the only one it has happened to. Not good enough considering it cost thirty something euro! I'm so sad though, I really like it!


Unrelated, my elf order arrived today! YAY!

Ah Novella, the Pippa jeans, my ultimate favourites. My blue pair were threadbare and the crotch split, and my black ones are a weird navy colour now Haven't found a pair to top them yet. In NY I went EVERYWHERE looking for skinny jeans and just couldn't find a nice pair. On a side note though, I did discover that the Levi's 501s for girls are deadly.

They are my favourites as well! One of the belt loops on my pair is ripped and they are so faded compared to what they used to be but I still wear them to death.

I tried on a pair of Leigh jeans in Topshop a while ago and I dunno, they're just not the same. Why on earth would they get rid of Pippa?!

Need some advise please!

I am going to dinner on Saturday night and was looking through my wardrobe the past few days and am planning on wearing on this bandage dress in black.



I was planning on wearing black tight and flats with it (I can't walk in heels) and as I need to get my legs waxed, I need to keep them covered until I get them waxed lol.

I was thinking of picking up a pair of black flats to wear.

Does this sound okay or is it too much black? I don't have much colour in my wardrobe tbh.

To inject some colour I was thinking of a pink/orange bangle, I have both of these and coloured nails.



I have these shoes, but don't know that they'd go with an all black outfit?



Would appreciate any help!

I think that outfit sounds nice, if you cant wear heels and you dont want to be all in black I think those shoes would be grand. I'm going out Saturday night and wearing a black dress, black tights and black shoes so I'll probably go the same route as you and try and inject some colour with my jewellery

Bobbin. I love those braclets where did you get them from?

rainbow kirby

The miracle happened, I found skinny jeans in Marks and Spencer that actually go over my calves in my normal size 12. :eek::D

I bought mine from www.asos.com they were around €15 each I think (I got them a while ago), I bought mine in the sale cause they were way too expensive at full price.

Those colours are no longer available, but you can get it in white

The style name of them is "Karen millen tropical cuff".

My elf order and my Oasis order arrived today. So now I have new make up and clothes for the weekend! Woooooo!

Edit: Bobbin, personally I wouldn't wear light shoes with black tights and a black dress. Instead I would try inject some colour in my accessories be it jewellery, belt, cardi/wrap, bag etc.

Those bangles are lovely.

My goodness the way that eara was treated was utterly disgraceful. :eek:

I don't think I have ever heard of 'customer service' like she experienced.

I find it astonishing that a store/company would refuse to apologize for such terrible customer service.

It's fashion forward, you obviously don't get it. Jeez
What a joke of a shop! Can't believe they're like thanking her for the publicity and won't apologise! Unreal.

I saw a really nice cardigan in the window of Penneys in Newbridge yesterday. It was menswear, but I really want it. Unfortunately, it was sold out though! Hate when that happens!

I know. I asked could I have the one that was on the mannequin 'cause I actually fell in love with it but I wasn't allowed. When I worked in River Island, if a customer wanted something that was on a mannequin and it was the last in stock we gave it to them. I am gonna be on a serious hunt now for this cardigan!

I've given stuff out of the window before! It was a bag so there was no restyling involved so that might have something to do with it... We're allowed give the ones off the mannequins inside the shop though! Maybe it was just that store... Curious...

Same in Topshop!

Found myself the bra I have been hunting for on ebay for half the price as it would in shops, brand new with tags. Hurrah! When I am rich I shall set up shop with bras for big boobed ladies that are supportive, comfortable AND pretty, not like most of the flimsy range out there! Hurry up ebay person, I need a boost!

I used to work in a clothes store in Toronto, we weren't allowed to sell clothes off mannequins under any circumstances, was so tough to explain that to customers who looked at us like we were thick, but we weren't allowed!

Grrrrrrrr!

Could I get opinions on this dress please? I was looking at getting it in the purple colour, but not sure if it's suitable for a 20yo for daywear?

Is it suitable for a 20yo for daywear? It's a really nice dress, but I don't want to dress/look older than I am.

I'm so trying that!

Novella

So I'm saving and not going on huge Penneys splurges every week anymore but I need these in my life :



Topshop.

I actually do have a borderline obsession with shoes which have studs on them. I have 2 pairs of studded boots so I think it just makes sense that I have a pair of flats. I am going to invest.

Pandoras Twist

^^ Oh very very wow!

I have a complete obsession with anything studded, particularly shoes. I may also have to invest

Novella

They're sold out online and in the Topshop in Liffey Valley. A little part of me inside will die without them! :pac:

I want... so bad... drool :P
