Zara new stock
Ooooh I LOVE it!!!
Went in on Weds and they have finally got rid of most of the sales stock and have got some lovely lovely new things in. All lgreat spring wear which totally made me feel that the grey winter is nearly over.
Was a beautiful brown puffy skirted polka dot wrap dress that I am considering - couldn't quite decide and was meant to be just getting my lunch so didn't have time to try it properly.
Loads of other wrap dresses and some cute blouses. Got massively over-excited and cannot wait to go back and try more, more, more on!
Answer:
I agree, i brought some fab work trousers from there today :)
Answer:
Oooh, me too.
Though I would have to admit to being VERY miffed that I am apparently a LARGE in Zara :mad: even though I am a size 12, the medium dresses (that were uber lush) were too small.
But the denim skirt in the sale (that i LOVED) was a large and was too big :rolleyes:.
I saw those dresses Cathy and they were lovely. There was also a lovely black and white print one with a full skirt - a shirt dress, that would look lovely on you.

Answer:

Stella McCartny for HM in the sale
Yesterday in my local HM i saw a blue wrap dress and blue skinny jeans both in a size 10 for £19.99 each, i thought about buying them to ebay but didn't - :crazy:
do you think it would be worth it?
Should go back and see if they're still there?
Does anyone here still want them? I could pick them up for you, if they're still there x
Answer:
do it! i made over 100% profit on some of the things i sold.. if it were the jumpsuit i'd pass but jeans and a wrap dress, go for it! oh and if you see any of those taupey long cardigan dress things i'd be very grateful if you could pick one up (xs, s or m), i know two people who are desperate for one. ;)
Answer:
I would say go for it. The jeans particularly will go quickly on ebay. The sizes come up a bit small in the jeans.
Answer:
Definately! I'm still trying to get hold of one of the navy ribbon jumpers (already have the beige) one and I've seen a couple sell on ebay for about £70 in the last couple of days :eek:
Answer:
i would love the wrap dress:)

I have a party tomorrow night (:yay: for the social butterfly :rolleyes: ) and it is quite a big thing.
I have seen one pic of the party (it's an annual thing) which is a publicity pic and all the guys are wearing tuxedos and the girls wearing dresses but I highly doubt everyone will really be dressed like that and anyway, none of the friends *I'm* going with will be wearing dresses - in fact only a few will be wearing skirts.
Anyway, back to the point, I can't decide between a couple of outfits and I can' decide how to accessorise either, so I leave it to you
-my chiffon top which hasn't got sleeves, has a bow at the top of the straps, shows abit of cleavage 9 always a good thing ;) ) and is very floaty around the stomach without looking maternal. It is a baby blue base with lots of bright pinks and greens and waaaaaaay nicer than it sounds. Quite dressy also. I was thinking about wearing it with my topshop straightlegged jeans and my polka dot pumps (white with lots of different coloured spots)
OR
-a plain black vest VERY FLATTERING with my topshop brown skirt from the summer, does anyone know of it? Approximately just below midthigh with abit of pleated action and some black tights with aformentioned pumps and PERHAPS a ballet style wrap cropped cardigan in baby pink with afew sequins along the neckline bit.
WHat do you think?
Answer:
Either outfit sounds good, though I do think I'm leaning towards the first but worn with heels to dress it up a bit
Answer:
Yes I was thinking that too after abit of contemplation post-post. :)
I forgot to mention that my pumps *are* heels sort of, aproximately 2inch ones but in a pump style so I just call them pumps.
Answer:
Sort of ot but why are pumps called pumps?
Answer:
:uzzle: :meh: :hmmm:

# Light, patent leather shoe with a flat, dull-silk bow at the instep. Akin to the Albert shoe, and only worn with evening clothes or dinner clothes.

History, Trends and Styles of Classic Pumps
What are Pumps?
Pumps, in their most classic form, are lightweight, strapless shoes. Pumps have a seamless front upper that is cut closer to the toes than the top of the foot. They have need no fastening or lacing, as the foot can be slipped into them. Varying heel heights.
History of Pumps
Though the pump has been a staple in women's shoes for centuries, it was originally worn (without a heel) by men and servants in the 1500s - then they were called a "pompes."
Eventually, bows and other embellishments, as well as heels were added to pumps, making them more feminine than the flat, plain shoes from which they originated.
:lol: I'm ot sure we have an answer, but we're getting nearer. Anyone?
Wonderbras
NO.4. ask :
Wonderbras
I'm a 34C and never had a "cleavage" as such. Decided its time to try a good old wondebra. Not for everyday for sometimes, nights out etc. Do they work and if so any recs? Found this one Which is a bargin!
Answer:
I used to have a couple of bliss wonderbras - they are not very padded which makes them comfortable, and gave me good shape and cleavage. However, I do naturally have a cleavage anyway (it just depends whereabouts your boobs are on your chest - iykwim?
Answer:
Yup, mine are quite far down. Not saggy. Pert but not high up on my body :p
Answer:
Im a 36 DD and use the Originals, where you can add the padding for variable sizes. I will admit, I do heart them a bit too much!
Answer:
I haven't had one for years, but I got the variable-cleavage one for a dress I have a few weeks back. It comes with these bazooka cushions and OMG!!!! I couldn't fit my finger between them and I'm a 32A.
So I'd recommend that one. I got mine dirt cheap in a sale in Spain, but they have it in Debenhams for about 25 squid.
It comes with normal pads too if you don't want people staring too much. ;)
