Where should I go shopping in London?
I'm going on Saturday and have Oxford Street and Camden planned, but don't really know where else to go (if I'll have time....)
Any ideas?
Answer:
What are you hoping to buy or look at?
Answer:
If you have time, Covent Garden is nice.
Answer:
No idea really. Just impulse buying. Nothing too expensive though.
Will check out Covent Garden.
Just going to print off a tube map and circle things....
Answer:
Personally I couldn't cope with camden and oxford street in one day!! how about you go to Oxford Street and then wonder down Marylebone High Street and treat yourself to cakes at Paul....

InStyle magazine- is it any good?
NO.2. ask :
InStyle magazine- is it any good?
Hello
I'm planning a lazy weekend involving large fluffy dressing gown, ridiclous amount of cosmetics and a magazine.
I am continuously tempted by InStyle but being terminally skint, am usually horrified by the price and opt for cheaper alternatives.
Am now thinking i may take the plunge (!) and fork out the necessary £3 odd as i fancy lots of lovely pictures of clothes instead of interviews with Abi Titmuss and the like, but wondered whether it it considered a worthy purchase by your good selves? Or will i find it a clothes overload and find myself craving the latest news from Celebrity Love Island?! (God forbid).
So what do you all make of it?
Answer:
I like it and buy it regularly (well actually I slip it in the shopping trolley at the supermarket so technically Mr Mouse buys it :D).
It's good light weight stuff with lots of fashion and beauty and none of that boring social issues stuff that the like of Marie Claire are so keen on.
Answer:
oooh your weekend sounds heavenly!
I :throb: :throb: :throb: InStyle magazine - luckily its one of the freebies we get here at work so :great:
I am the biggest fan of crap tv but cannot force myself to look at those publicity whores rebecca loos and abi titf**k - oops, sorry! :p
Answer:
I :throb: InStyle - I've had a subscription for ages. It is probably my favourite magazine. Get it and have a lovely weekend :cmcheers:
Answer:
Thanks girls, will purchase on my way home. Am pleased to hear that beauty is also covered (although the last thing i need is to be swayed by yet another new mascara...why can't i just be happy with the 10 I've already got??)
Oh to have a glamourous job with actual perks, PV! Am literally green with envy (well, envious wearing a green top- so pretty much).
Thanks again for the recommendations- InStyle is clearly an essential purchase!

Bras for a 36AA
NO.5. ask :
Bras for a 36AA
Help! I'm getting married and want a nice bra with clear straps (or strapless) and a bit of padding as my dress has tiny straps and I don't want to look really flat chested. I've searched the internet but there doesn't seem to be anything that great - Ideally I'd love a corset thing to pull my tummy in attached to the bra but I think as finding a bra is proving so hard that would be asking too much.
Any ideas?
ps - this is why I loathe shopping at 5' 11" with a 33" inside leg, size 14/16 bottom half and size 12 top half, size 8 feet and a 36AA chest the only thing I can shop for that I know will fit seems to be a scarf! (woa is me...)
Answer:
Maybe it's not sufficiently special for your wedding, but have you tried MS? I was 36AA when i was a bit younger, and i know they def. did underwear in that size then...
Sorry can't be of more help

Answer:
New Look had some padded strapless ones in today that were also backless (well, they were supposed to be, they had a clear strap round the back), and I think they do 36AA.
Answer:
Thanks you guys - I think it might have to be MS - they seem to be the only ones to consistently cater for my size, I don't really care if it's pretty as long as it's not seen.
I might have a look in New Look too - haven't really considered them before!
Answer:
you probably already have but have you tried www.figleaves.com ? i normally find them quite useful :)
ps: swap your inside leg for mine (35.5) :D
