Non Chav Male Trackpants??
Hi girlies, hope you can help
It's my boyfriend's birthday in 2 weeks and I've booked us a fab spa day (he's always said he'd like to go get pampered - it's not a girlie pamper day). Anyway the brochure for the place says that dress is very relaxed and informal for hanging around during the day between treatments or when we are not using the pool etc. I have been looking for casual kind of jogging pant type things as he doesn't really own anything like that, always wears shorts to the gym. But I can't find any that don't scream chav or athlete. He's quite short in the leg too so the ones I've found that look ok are way to long for him!
Anyone help or think of something else I could get him to wear? I just don't think he'll want to hang out in shorts all day. Maybe I'm wrong, have never been to a health farm type place before.

Answer:
I wouldn't be bothered if I were you, at the end of the day, they're just trackkie B's and it's only a spa.
Try somewhere like sports soccer... they have looooads of choice in there and very good value too.
Answer:
Will have a wee look in there then. I've seen loads of what I want but they are all for girls! LOL!! I'll get him a nice pink pair!:p

Do you have to be skinny to wear skinny jeans?

Do you have to be skinny to wear skinny jeans?
Help!
I love the look of the new skinny jeans as worn by the fabulous Kate Moss and her legions of imitators, but when I try them on (e.g. Top Shop Bobbi jeans) I look like a heifer. I'm not fat (am 5'8 and size 10, or 12 on a bad day) but I am curvy with a j-lo style bottom, generous thighs and a small waist. The skinny jeans don't work on me! they gape at the waist and cling unflatteringly around my thighs. :(
Have any other voluptuous types cracked the skinny jeans thing, or should I admit defeat on this one? I am so tired of bootcut! I keep seeing skinny girls in skinny jeans in all the trashy celeb fashion magazines and wishing it was me... boo :(
Answer:
re: Do you have to be skinny to wear skinny jeans?
IMHO yes you do.
ETA: fashion suicide.
Answer:
Erm ..yeah you do! Ample thighs just won't do in those jeans!! They'd be so unflattering!
Answer:
bugger! was hoping that someone would have found a flattering brand that make skinny jeans for fat birds. :D Maybe I should persevere - after all, I can't wear ANY style of Top Shop jeans as they're always too tight on the thighs and too small on the waist.

Me neither! Me and Topshop jeans just don't go at all!

Some nice linen type skirts in, esp the aqua green one £8.

Nice purchase CX! I expecially like the bag :) Don't you just love it when you get an ebay bargain :yay:
Answer:
You better believe I love it!:) I don't need that bag though but I saw the same one sold about 2 months ago and it went for over £60, probably what it sold for instore. I got this one for £30 so I'm happy!
I got the trainers for £31 aswell so very happy! They look wicked with combats. I'm more excited over the trainers than the bag actually :lol:
Answer:
Ooh I like both of them - spesh the bag (natch!:p ). You restore my faith in ebay CaramelX - you always manage to find great stuff at good prices! I am totally crap at it!

Miss Selfridge faulty bikini - returns?

Miss Selfridge faulty bikini - returns?
I've just got back from cuba and a bikini I bought from Miss Selfridge for my hols broke while I was away, the back clasp snapped while I was just lying there!!
I was just wondering if they'll give me a refund or exchange on this, as its been worn etc,
does anyone have any experience of this happening?
thanks!
Answer:
If it genuinely broke through no fault of your own and its within 3 months of you buying it Id say its reasonable to take it back, obviously not for them to resell but to send to head office or whatever it is they do. It could be that there was a dodgy batch made or something and if you've only worn it a few times then it shouldnt be breaking.
