    Love her! <3
    I think a sweepy side fringe would suit anybody :)

    Yeah, I can't get a side fringe though. No matter how much I try my hair won't part at the side :( Just stays in the middle. Oh well!

    I'm excited now :)

    My aunt has given me the most beautiful ring! It's opal and my birthstone :) Totally in love with it.

    Oh Twee that's beautiful! I like that kinda jewellery, elegant, not too in-your-face

    That's exactly what I love about it too, very simple :) Word got around the other aunties :p "Did you hear Ger gave Twee the opal ring?!?" I think they all had their eye on it! Seven aunts is hard work!

    Gorgeous ring Twee, very classic looking.

    Thanks to Purple Bobbin, Bobblehead Panda and Pandoras twist for the replies about Asos think I will avoid their own brand.

    Good idea.

    Looking back now, I've only kept one item of ASOS clothing, that was a blue beach dress I got about two years ago for going abroad.

    I recently got some jeans from them and they are going back tomorrow, horrible cheap looking things.

    The were meant to be cropped jeans, turns out, they are only turned up at the end. They look like they're too short for normal jeans and too long for 3/4 lengths.

    These are the jeans. The material has a kinda silver shimmer on it, which I don't like.

    That's very misleading they certainly look like 3/4 length jeans, I know you have to take the model's height into account. It sounds like Asos own brand clothing is made of very cheap material just reading the latest purchases thread and I've never seen so many disappointed customers as the people who purchased Asos clothing.

    It's weird, I buy a ton of Asos Curve stuff and the quality is always great!

    My ghd has broken :( I have a very unruly fringe without it! :(

    I am waiting for my GHD to break. I've had it for nearly 8 years!! And use it a few times a week. Don't know how it's still going!

    This is my second ghd to break. I've had this one for three years. Nothing happened to it, didn't drop it or anything... Just went to turn it on but it was dead! :( Gonna have to buy a new one, even though I could really use the money for other things! Grr!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,595 ✭✭✭The Lovely Muffin


    Can I ask peoples' opinions on this top please? I like it, but I don't know if it'd suit me or if it'd be too grown up for me? I'm 20.:confused:

    Thanks!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    I like it! It seems really versatile, it'd look great with skinny jeans. I only think those type of tops look old with gypsy skirts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 600 ✭✭✭Mollikins


    Gorgeous top! I love the style of it. It would never suit me though.

    I don't think it looks too old for you. I think it would look lovely on you and you should go for it.

    /bad influence :o

    :pac:

    I don't know if this is any help to you Novella, but ASOS and SalonSkincare both sell them. Ive bought from both websites (though not GHDs) and never had a problem with either. Salonskincare deliver via courier though so you have to be in to sign for the item when it arrives.

    Thanks guys. I think I'll get it, it works out at about £10 including postage, not bad at all. Hope it fits me, it's coming from China, no idea what their sizing is like.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,598 ✭✭✭boomkatalog


    PB I think the top is fab. I just turned 21 and its kinda come to my attention that I look a little silly in my purple skinnies and knee high cons sometimes. I still wear them, but there's a time and a place. And now I'm finishing college, I think tops like the one you posted are fabulous. Sorta sophisticated, but you can kinda play around with them. Skinny jeans for day time, shorts and funky tights for the pub, a-line skirt for job/interview. Definitely not too "old" though :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,729 ✭✭✭Acoshla


    PB the top is really lovely :)

    You should see some of the stuff I wear and I'm the grand old age of 26! On holidays a few weeks ago I wore denim shorts, a yellow my little pony t shirt, some flats with flowers on them and rainbow bangles, my mother said I looked about 5, took it as a compliment!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,713 ✭✭✭✭Novella


    I really like that top, PB! I'd wear it and I'm 21! :) And thanks for the hair straightener tips! I do wanna buy online. Going out without doing my hair is making me feel half naked! :o

    I completely understand where your coming from about feeling half naked with the hair not done. I'm the same, but as I don't always have the patience to straighten my hair I just tie it up lol.:o

    Thanks guys, I'll get the top and hope it fits. Sure for £10 you can't go wrong, right?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,375 ✭✭✭Pandoras Twist


    There's a load of tops out like that at the moment (miss selfridge, new look, topshop, awear) so I would say pop into one of them and try them on to see if you like how it sits on you. Better off having an idea before ya order.

    It's a nice style btw.

    There's none of those stores near me at all :( Only a New Look, but didn't see anything like it there. My local NL is a small store though.

    Would you by any chance have a link to any tops like it? Only I've looked but not found anything:(:o

    I saw this but I am not sure about it, I'm not mad about the detail on the sleeves :(

    image1xl.jpg

    I looked at the one on eBay again, is it 'pulled in' (elasticated?) at the bottom or is it just me? If it's elasticated I won't get it, as elasticated stuff doesn't suit me.:( It just makes me look pregnant:(

    Thanks for all the help, I appreciate it.

    Loving the weather, being able to wear summer clothes without freezing :)

    On another note, Great to see so much discussion in f&a lately, Very good for the forum :)

    I'm getting my hair done on Saturday. It cannot come quick enough. I feel rotten!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,492 ✭✭✭degausserxo


    Haven't had mine highlighted since December, and just do not have the money to get it done! Thankfully I'm going away in 3 weeks so the sun'll bleach my roots for free \o/


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,729 ✭✭✭Acoshla


    My hair was deep pink before I went on holiday, swimming in salt water, washing it every day and the sun means it is now coppery gingery brown, nice! :p

    I've only just finished icing my Will & Kate fairy cakes for my friends party tomorrow.

    That's purple glitter in case you're wondering (regal purple!), they're sloppier than I usually would make them but it was midnight and I've had an exhausting week. Can't wait to eat them!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,419 ✭✭✭✭jokettle


    On the subject of hair, would anyone know if it's better to wait until after a sun holiday to get my hair trimmed? I was about to book an appointment until I realised the sun/chlorine damage might ruin the effects of maintenance! Any opinions?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 902 ✭✭✭lainey316


    PB - Warehouse have a very similar top
    http://www.warehouse.co.uk/pleat-front-blouson-top/Jersey-Tops/warehouse/fcp-product/304275

    I tried it on and was tempted... still might get it. However, I am old, so that might put you off!

    jokettle, I prefer to get mine cut before hols for a number of reasons - it's easier and faster to wash and style when in good shape, and when it's bad I feel sun can exacerbate damage so it spreads more? Does that make sense? I'm not sure!

    Think I'm gonna invest in a nice fancy dress, considering either this
