Ponchos - opinions needed!
NO.2. ask :
Ponchos - opinions needed!
Okay, this is a tad embarassing, since after ranting at length on the evils of ponchos, I am now seriously considering buying one!
The one I have in mind is from Kookai (hope they still have it when I go back tomorrow) - it's quite glam, peach coloured, fairly short, very lightweight with a longish fringe and sequinned here and there. I'm not really bothered much by fashion trends so I'm not worried about things being 'in' or 'out' - I'm more concerned about what I can wear it with because it's quite eveningy. I think it could be dressed down with jeans and a nice vest in the summer, but does anyone have any other ideas? And does anyone have any views on whether I should get it? It's reduced to around ten quid - quite a lot of money at the moment!

Answer:
Sorry G_K I'm not a big fan of evening ponchos! But I think it would look okay with a white vest top, jeans and heels, with peachy make up and sparkly jewellry :)
Answer:
I could never get on with the ordinary kind because they swampe me. I like this one because it's delicate and light and doesn't make me look like a walking tent!
I'll have a look at it tomorrow and decide - any other opinions girls??
g_k
Answer:
Come on girls, 60-odd views and no more comments??
This is a radical departure for me - I'd really like some more opinions!
g_k
Answer:
have to agree with fairy-poppins, I'm not a fan of ponchos at all (any more!) but I especially hate evening ponchos, and peach is prob my least fave colour ever.
However I might be wrong and it may be gorrrg. It could be worn with jeans or over a Summery dress as long as what you're wearing underneath isn't to fussy or colour-clashing.

Just wanted to ask,
when you use your debit car dot pay fror something from a US site, in dollars obvioulsy, how much does the bank normaly charge you?
:o
Answer:
it changes by day, it's usually somewhere near the current exchange rate but a little less favourable.
Answer:
So they dont charge extra for the actual transaction?
good stuff!
Answer:
they never have for me, but the worse exchange rate makes up for it. they do get money off you somehow!
Answer:
if you buy on a *debit* card you will almost certainly be charged a handling fee - usually 2.5% of the transaction amount. and the exchange rate will, as annanas has said, also be slightly less favourable.
if you buy on a *credit* card, you usually won't have have to pay a handling fee, although the exchange rate will again be less favourable than the published rate.
note also that a credit card transaction protects you from fraud because you are automatically insured against abuse and defective purchases - but you don't have this automatic protection from your debit card.
White gypsy skirts and metallic belts
NO.4. ask :
White gypsy skirts and metallic belts
Okay guys, this is definitely my last thread for today!
I've decided to get a white gypsy skirt (quite fancy wearing it with a denim jacket in the summer). Does anyone know where I could get a full-length one cheaply? I want to wear it as a dress as well, so it needs to be fairly lightweight. Plus I'm trying to find a metallic (preferably weave) belt - any pointers for a cheap one?
Cheers!
g_k
Answer:
Hey g_k,
Not sure about the gypsy skirt (although am guessing the usual suspects would be a good place to start, and Primark is king of cheapness so look there too), but I bought a woven metallic belt in gold, silver and bronze from Oasis in the sale for just a fiver! Otherwise there are definitely some in Miss Selfridge and I've also spied some in Kookai. They're pretty much everywhere, in fact! Extremely gorgeous.

Answer:
Should've remembered Primark, duh (brain has gone liquid). I didn't see anything in my branch of Oasis, but I'll check out Miss Selfridge. Cheers!
g_k
Answer:
New Look had a really lovely long tiered skirt at the end of last summer - I am hoping that they'll do them again this coming season.
I wonder if you might be just slightly early for this kind of thing though...
Good Luck!
Love Sara x :)
Answer:
I got a nice gold/silver weave belt for £4 from Pilot of all places! Am wearing it now actually :)
Brrrr - Warm winter coat needed
NO.5. ask :
Brrrr - Warm winter coat needed
Please, ladies, can i have some help. It is sooooooo cold outside, and I am in desperate need of a warm winter coat.
I am thinking I need something about 3/4 length to keep the chill out from my waist (as i always wear hipster trousers). I quite fancy a soft sheepskin coat, but the real ones I've seen are about £500 which is over my budget. I did see a beautiful faux sheepskin coat in House of Fraser 2 years ago, and it even went down to £100 in the sale, but i didn't buy it for some reason and it's now one of my biggest fashion regrets EVER
If anyone out there has seen/bought anything recently could you let me know.
Thanks a mil
Sorry, forgot to say, I'm a size 6-8 so finding a coat that won't swamp me is kinda tough - any help SO gratefully received :-)
Answer:
Not sheepskin but I've got lovely red 3/4 length Miss Sixty coat with big buttons. I think it cost about £220 and it goes in lovely at the waist. It's also very warm!
Answer:
ah, thanks. I always see other people in Miss Sixty gear that looks great, but never have the guts to try anything out myself. I know they do small sizes too :-)
Will try to sneak out this weekend have a peep.
Answer:
Yes they do small sizes! My coat is in 'small' which is great because it's really nipped at the waist but the sleeves are still long enough.
