My uncle bought his lucky wife a Mulberry Edie for Christmas. It is just gorgeous!

I love the hat too, but have never worn it! So I think New Years is a good hat occasion.

Oh, lucky lady! How fab! One of my pals got an Alexa from her sister. I had to tell her politely that I now hate her :pac:
You'll look fab for New Year's!

Sale shopping distresses me greatly. There are just so many loopers out there! I'm bring a cattle prod next year.

Stupid sizing also hurts my brain. I tried on about a billion coats today. One beautiful jasper conran coat fit like a glove in an 8. Then a beautiful john rocha was perfect in the 10. Then over in sisley i had to wear a 14. Is it so hard to just pick a certain number of inches and go with that??

I despise them too janeybabe. I only went cos my mother is *insisting* I get a new coat. As long as she's buying I will do what she tells me!

Never argue when someone else is buying!

I was having a look at their website earlier and I saw the S/S11 trends. It's not even January! It's still cold, really cold! I can't be looking at sandals and brightly coloured dresses. :eek:

I was doing the same its never warm enough then to wear anything summery you buy on it, I still have sandals I got last year and never got to wear:(

I think I started wearing sandals last April, and only stopped in September! I hate having warm feet though, so when it comes to time for getting back into socks and boots, I get sad. Then I get addicted to boots though, 'cause they're pretty... but thinking about it now, can't wait for sandal season!

Right, I've 130E worth of vouchers to spend in M&S.

I can't decide between getting a decent pair of shoes ~85E and a decent pair of trousers or shirt ~ 45E.

Or

Blowing it all on a new blazer ~ 130E!

If someone can decide for me now, it will save me looking like an idiot doing the whole catsup, ketchup thing

Nothing nice left in my size either I recently got measured and am a new size so would love to get loads of new undies.

There's a few on La Senza that look pretty. I usually get some nice ones from Arnotts at good prices in sales. Maybe try a department store near you.

I should get fitted again, its been about three years since I was last measured. It'd be so annoying to have to change sizes though!

I checked out the drapers near me and they're all a bit old fashioned for me. Maybe if theres anything left in John Lewis.

Thanks. Does the Jerivs store stock 30B? My local store (Mullingar) don't.

Are they 'nice' designs? (i.e; not just plain black/white/red etc)

You can order whatever they don't have in store in your size and it will be delivered to the store. You pay when it arrives so you can try whatever you order on for size first before you buy. If you go to Customer Service you can order there. You'll need the style number. It will start with a T. For example, this one has the code T818259P. (T81 is the code for collection bras.) If you find one in the shop that doesn't have your size have a look at the chart at the back and if it comes in your size just order it. Or if you see one on the site that isn't in store you can order it in store too as long as you have the code. It usually takes about 2 days depending on the shop for orders to arrive. The Galway store had a ridiculous 5 day wait last time I tried to order something there. So even if Mullingar don't have your size you could still try to order it in.
