Where can I buy a 80s style Jelly Bag?
Hi Everyone
I am really keen to get my hands on a bag we all used to have in the 80s. It was made out of plastic and looked like a basket with handles and came in all colours.
We used to call it a 'Jelly Bag' and they were in about the same time as 'Jelly Shoes'.
I have been looking for ages, I was sure Id get one on Ebay but it seems that when I type in Jelly bag all that comes up are 'Jelly Kelly'which are OK but a bit last year.
Does anybody else think these bags rule and if so WHERE CAN I GET ONE!! PS I am based in Manchester
Thanks
LOLA
Answer:
i know exactly what you mean, are you kidding, i had a white one, a pink one and a red one! But have no idea where you'd find one. have you searched it?
Why do you need one, do you just love 'em or are you going to a throwback party or something no offence intended!
Answer:
I wonder if anyone still makes them?
I had a miniature white one which matched my white shoes... I loved it so much and took it with me everywhere... even though it never carried all my school books and stuff kept falling out of it anyway.
I dunno, ebay or charity shops are probably your best bet.
Answer:
Hmmm, if I think I know what you're after, I've seen them in HM this week. Comes in lots of colours - white, black, purple and others.

moroccan disc belt

moroccan disc belt
i recently bought a brown leather moroccan disc belt like kate moss wears....i was just wondering what to wear it with without looking like one of those boho clones out there.....
thanks in advance!
Answer:
My sister wears hers over a brown wrap dress, to add a bit of interest to it, that looks nice. I wear her disc belt with a white vest and jeans, again just for something different. They seem to go with a lot of clothes, even ones you wouldn't really expect! Don't know if they make us boho clones but hope it helps!
Answer:
I wear mine with a white vest and jeans as well, and also with a knee length khaki gypsy skirt...this probably makes me a boho clone but I really like the boho look so I don't care!
ETA: PLEASE do not wear yours with a tracksuit though, as I have seen some people doing...there was a woman in New Look the other day wearing a brown velour tracksuit with a brown disc belt, I looked at her and thought nooooooo!
Answer:
thanks for the replies girls. what i meant by boho clone is when people go ott with the boho look and wear everything together. i dont think either of you, from what you've both described, fall into that category! i like the idea of wearing it witha wrap dress, i have loads so i'd love another way to wear them. i think it would look really nice with something simple, such as the jeans/white vest combo as described by you both! thanks for the ideas!..
Answer:
i certainly wont be wearing mine with a tracksuit! ive seen this on loads of people around dublin and it looks terrible!!!!

Just had a look at some of the pictures of the attendees.....
There's some here and I expect people can find other pics but what do people think of the outfits???
I thought Helena Christensen looked great - but doesn't she always?, Cat Deeley looked like an alien (well, in that picture she does) and Sienna Miller looked ridiculous!!
Any thoughts people??
(Feels like I'm posting this into thin air! Is anyone there?!)
Answer:
Yo dude i'm here but very lonely, theres noone about!
Keira - she looks fab, very pretty, like her make up
Carpice - so classy. NOT.
Helena - truly beaut. but like you say, always is. cow!
Sienna - yep what a monkey, awful dress. pink is definitely not her colour.
Yasmin LB - really digging that blouse but i'm not 'feeling' the overall look - wonder what shoes she had on.
cannot stand donna air, quickly flicked past that one, didnt look too hot though!
Jamelia - boring. dont like satin either!
Answer:
Helena is definitely the best of the lot.... deary me, Yasmin Le Bon's outfit is a bit mishmash!
Answer:
Helena Christensen's dress is absolutely stunning, Cat Deeley looks very odd, Keira looked glamorous and Sienna made a bad choice for once. yay!
Answer:
What the hell is that on Caprice's head? :sick: :crazy: and Minnie Driver should know that colour doesn't suit her, Yasmin looks like she got dressed in the dark.
However, I WANT Donna Air's dress! It's gorgeous! (though not very dressy for such an occasion) :uzzle:.
Helena Christiansen looks gorge, as does Cat (but could do with a trim!).
Sigh, the beautiful people!

My Lola Rose bracelet is broken!

My Lola Rose bracelet is broken!
I have a very lovely Lola Rose bracelet, and unfortunately I can't find a photo of it on the internet, but it's the one with beads all the way round and then three small flowers in between. Somehow one of the petals of the leaves has chipped in half, which I'm very sad about!
This is a long shot, I know, but I wondered if anyone knew of any way I could get it repaired. It was a birthday present and so if I can't sort it I'll have to buy a new one.
Answer:
As they are made from carved stone I suspect that your best bet is going to be gluing the petal back together - use a pin to smear a teensy bit of superglue on one edge of the petal break and stick it back on.
Alternatively you might be able to track down a spare flower bead and get the whole bracelet re-strung - but I think you'll be talking a lot of money for that sort of repair.
Answer:
Sadly I don't have the bit that snapped off so I can't glue it back!
I think it may have to stay broken!
