is there such a thing as a decent wannabe Bayswater?
I am very poor right now - but am not sure I can wait any longer for a Bayswater - I have looked at sites like vanilla and lush but (maybe I missed them) cannae find a decent quality bayswater stylee
Any ideas?
PS - I am an ebay virgin (bit scared of it all really) so ebay reaally would be a last resort....
Answer:
Hi fluffybunbuns,
i have found Lush fantastic quality in terms of the leather workmanship.
In terms of ebay sellers, I have used the following selles, all without problem and good delivery. .

and i have just bought a Spy bag from this guy
However, I am not sure if Lush do bayswater copies..
Answer:
Lush don't do a Bayswater yet - there are a few replica sites on the net that have them, but I've not used any of them personally.
Answer:
I got mine on ioffer. The guy has a shop but he can't say Mulberry anymore as Mulberry and Gucci are on his tail (as well they should be). He does 100% mirror copies with the dustbag, tags, stamps etc but tbh you are never ever going to get anything that approximates genuine vegetable dyed Darwin leather. I also got one on ebay and I can recommend the seller as I buy Manolo Mary Jane and LV knockoffs from her too.
Answer:
Just another thought - if you want quality and are not too fussed about the mulberry stamps and so on, try HKBL as she can make copies for about £60 in whatever leather you want. Bellas one is gorgeous!

Purple Boots

Purple Boots
Has anyone seen any knee-length purple leather boots anywhere?
Like the ones Madonna was wearing on Parky at the weekend.
Ta v. much xx
Answer:
Nope, but I saw some knee length suede ones in Topshop sale for £20 a while ago (which I couldn't afford to spend on boots back then...) and have regretted my lack of purple boots ever since!
So if you do find some....get them.
Useless semi-hijack over!
Answer:
I'm still looking for purple boots myself, but I was thinking of waiting until payday because I'm overdrawn already...
Answer:
There is a flat pair of suede ones on DP's website.
Answer:
I got nice ones in Penneys (Primark to you) .. €22 so less than £20 .. they're pointy toe, fake suede and knee length .. they have little straps around the ankle and I've worn them loads .. they're also very comfortable .. so much so that I also bought them in brown and black :D

My recent buys!
Hubby's been away on business so I've been treating myself!
After searching high and low for a brown coat, I bought this one from Debenhams a few days ago - but I've just ordered it online with the 25% off, so I got it for £72 (plus £3.50 for delivery)!! So I'll take the one I bought instore back and I've saved myself £15!

And after trying for about 2 weeks to order these boots online from Next and constantly getting the 'sold out' message, I've finally ordered them, although there is a 1-2 week delay - but good things come to those who wait!!:

(Top left hand corner - brown toe loop buckle long boots £74.99)
A pair of nubuck knee length boots from New Look reduced from £65 to £30! :eek: ;
These undies:

A black pencil skirt from Warehouse;
A black beaded 3-way clutch bag from Oasis;
A cream cami from Primark - £3 - although I'm annoyed because I've worn it once and thought it was a bit roomy for a 12/14 - the hanger said it was a 12/14, but I don't know what made me look at the label, but it is in fact a 16/18! Do you reckon they'll let me exchange it?
Oh dear, that's rather a lot - but hubby did say he would buy me the coat for Christmas... :yay:
Sorry, just wanted to share as it's not often I have a blow out! Knowing me I'll probably end up taking half of it back!!
Anyone else had a good shop recently? :)
Answer:
Sounds like a good haul!
I'm sure Primark would let you exchange, they're usually good on customer service policy (even if the staff member serving you isn't!).
Answer:
Thanks Bibbitybob - although the cami is only to wear under suits at work, and it's not massive, so I may not even go to the bother of exchanging it!
Answer:
Great haul, can't get on the debs site of course! I've not bought much lately, just some cashmere from tesco!
Answer:
You've got some lovely things there Netti, very nice indeed:)
OT do you get email notifications?
NO.4. ask :
OT do you get email notifications?
For every reply to a post that you've contributed to?
I've had about 70 hotmail emails in the last couple of hours!
Is there no middle ground? It seems you can either have your inbox flooded with emails, or if you turn off the notifications, you can't see who's replied to what etc?
I tried clicking 'subscribe to this thread' on one thread I wanted to keep track of but didn't contribute to, but I didn't receive any notifications?!
Argh, anybody else have the same problem?
I think for now I'll just turn off the notifications, and I just delete them all in one go anyway! :meh:
Answer:
I've never bothered with notifications because they can just flood your inbox.
Threads that have new messages are hightlighted anyway with the envelope sign so i just check those usually :)
Answer:
I've turned them off now!
I've probably shot myself in the foot though because I sometimes post in other areas of here which I'll end up forgetting about if I don't get the email! :o
Also if I don't bag for a few days and the thread gets lost it could prove a problem, especially with the search funstion not working!
Answer:
What Cat said, all those notifications would do my bonce in :crazy:
Answer:
You can always click on your profile and then 'Find all posts by user' so you can check where you have been posting :)
O/T But is the search function gone for good?

O/T But is the search function gone for good?
It's been gone for a few weeks now and its really annoying not having it :hmmm:
Answer:
mine is still here :confused:
Answer:
If you actually type something in that you want to know about does it come up with pages of threads like it should do? Mine doesn't :mad:
Answer:
I think they are trying to aim to get it fixed this week. The cull seems to have caused some gremlins...
