Must have items for Summer ??
At the moment I'm hoping to get:-
A white French lace Kaftan style tunic/top
Gladiator sandles
Huge Sunglasses (although don't know who by yet)
Super large white slung leather bag
Can't bring myself to buy a waistclinching belt as I feel in a few weeks we'll be saying how common they are - just like ponchos, gypsey skirts, etc last year !!
;)
Answer:
for me, I think I'm going to be wearing lots of summer dresses and flipflops - nice and easy!
I also want a large leather bag, perhaps the lush spy? for all my cr*p, but which is a bit smarter than my current studenty bags
I already have some huge aviator sunnies, but I'll prob get a few more pairs as I'm always leaving them around somewhere or scratching :rolleyes:
also want a poppy red shawl to chuck over the above mentioned summer dressed ;) on chilly evenings!!
if I find one that suits me, I'll be buying a tan leather waist clincher as well, don't care if it'll be 'over' - I love this look!
Answer:
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii NEED!!
More long vests, All colours

Some nice sandals

bikini for me hol - gorge miss sixty one i want
some more beach shorts
summer dresses
basically your average summer essentials

Answer:
Dresses - in all shapes
Ribbon to use as a belt (can't get brave enough to get a cincher belt, but ribbon I think would be a nice subtle + girly way of buying into the trend)
Wedges - bright ones!
Flats
Sunnies - my head is too small for big ones, so I'll be out of fashion but I couldn't care less!
Floaty a line skirts
ETA: Lots and lots of COLOUR! :)
Answer:
I think this is going to be the summer of lovely skirts and dresses for me, as I live in jeans throughout the winter :) I've just ordered this skirt to wear with a plain vest, flipflops and huge sunglasses
And this dress
I already have hundreds of vest tops, 3 waist belts, loads of flip-flops, a large white leather bag and 12 pairs of sunglasses - so I think I'm pretty much sorted now :) Although no doubt I'll end up finding more stuff to buy!
shawls
NO.2. ask :
shawls
I keep on reading outfits which are topped off with shawls, which I really like the sound of, especially as an alternative to a pashmina or plain scarf, yet I've never seen any in the (highstreet) shops.
Can anyone tell me where I can have a look for one? I have a vision of one in a poppy red for some reason :confused:
thanks!

Answer:
John lewis always have a good selection of shawls but cant think of any high street shops that i've seen them in.

Answer:
Brora do them.
Answer:
just had a look on Brora - looks perfect, but out of my price limit unfortuently :( might try and angle one as an 'end of a exam' pressie though ;), but will check out JOhn Lewis too to see if they have a slightly more affordable one
thanks!
Answer:
Brora or your Grannys! ;) :lol: (I have an orange very thick lovely one given by grandmother!)
They are quite a good alternative to pashminas but more of a casual look than pashminas imho.
However, they look great with jeans and denim minis and much funkier than pashminas... (love both though!)
(have a few from mango, hm and zara...so maybe worth a try if you want a cheaper alternative to Brora).
Help me decide!
NO.3. ask :
Help me decide!
I know they are both fairly plain but in my plight to be sensible i need to pick just ONE!
Green top
or
Bow top
Or if anyone has seen them in real life and they are rubbish/nice please tell me:lol:
Answer:
Would it be cheating to suggest you order both and see which is the nicest on? ;)
Answer:
Oooh, they are both nice! I like Shiny's idea :) But if you *have* to pick only one, I love the green, lovely colour!
Answer:
yes that would be cheating cos she will end up keeping both!!!:)
i like them both but i *think* i like the first one best. i like the slightly puffy sleeves.
:angel:
Answer:
The only thing I would be worried about the first one (which ordinarily I would prefer as I don't like short sleeved knits, is that the panelling on the front might emphasise any lady-paunch you have - not saying you have one but if that worries you (I get a tummy if I eat anything:rolleyes: ) then I think the first top would emphasise it out of proportion.
Gownless evening strap
NO.4. ask :
Gownless evening strap
friend of mine is wanting to sell her ballgown on ebay cos shes moving back to Canada... wanted to get an opinion of how much she'd make for it...
its from Monsoon, size 18, floor length, satin (i think) strapless, RRP £160
i dont think shes desperate to make a huge profit, just wondering what people would be willing to pay
thanks!
Answer:
Huh? Do you mean a strapless evening gown? :p
Second hand clothes don't seem to sell very well. Students might want it for graduation balls though. I haven't really sold anything like that before so not sure :confused:
Answer:
i put a couple of my mums evening gowns on ebay, one didnt sell and the other one got a tenner
Answer:
Huh? Do you mean a strapless evening gown? :p
Well yes and no! my dads always called them that so it kinda just stuck!
Thanks for that guys, think she'll give it a whirl and if she gets anything its a bonus and if not well, nothing lost

thanks!
Answer:
Yep. NL have got the same gold pair in this year that I bought last Summer.
The pic looks ugly but they look very cute on!
They have a diamante stone by the big toe on each foot as detail too.
They were £12 - am assuming they're £12 again this year.
