potentially buying a luella bag
Hi all
After lusting after it for about 2 years (or whenever Giselle was first snapped on the catwalk with it), I am thinking of finally caughing up the money to buy a Luella :)
I had a look on ebay and some of the sellers are saying that the black medium large bags are impossible to get hold of ... do you guys know if it's true? I don't know whether to risk buying one on ebay or whether to just go buy one in Harvey Nicks ...
Thanks
Steph:)
Answer:
thanks Puddy - sorry for the confusion, I didn't realise that there were 2 ... I meant the Mulberry Giselle by Luella Bartley (the one with the hearts).
Thanks
Steph
Answer:
I think there's too much confusion over this Luella issue isn't there? As Puddy says!
I'm sure that when anyone says Luella Gisele nowadays they mean the usual bag you see with the hearts, the one that's currently available, don't they?
The original limited edition Mulberry one is long gone now and I'm sure it's very hard to get hold of, and is probably superior, but why would you bother? I would just forget it, it's gone!
Are you sure you don't mean this current Luella version Steph?
Answer:
Harvey Nichols in london and Harrods have them in all colours and sizes, so they are definetely not hard to come by.
Answer:
yep, that's the one Sakura (the one on the top left hand corner) :)
and thanks whatever01 - I shall take a little trip to Harvey Nicks then :D :D :D
Thanks for your help guys

I can't wait!!!
I got back from my holiday and my friend asked me what I was doing on September 25th, and I said nothing, and she said great cos you're coming to London Fashion Weekend with me!
Anyone else going? Or has anyone been before? I don't really know what to expect...
...or what to wear!! tee hee :D
Answer:
I've been a few times - its quite good, lots of cheap designer clothes! And beauty and nail treatment areas. Quite a nice day.

Answer:
Cool. When you say cheap, exactly how cheap d'you mean???
*CL goes off to count her money and see how much she can afford to spend!*
Answer:
Just in case anyone else is thinking of going, an offer in this Friday's Evening Standard means you get two tickets for the price of one!! If you call the ticket hotline on 0871 222 3214 and quote 'ES Magazine' you get the discount, or you can go online to www.lastminute.com/londonfashion/standard and get it there, too!
Would love to go, but even heavily discounted designer items are out of my league - I feel I'm being risque if I buy something full-price from Primark!!!
Answer:
LOL @ happy cat. here are also running an offer on 2 for the price of 1 on tickets - unfortunately my friend didn't know about this before she booked!

Orange watches?

Orange watches?
Hello Fashionistas.
I saw a woman on the train in Greece with a watch on with bright orange strap and orange mother of pearl face. It was oversized and I loved it...stupidly didn't ask where it was from. I think it might be from a company called folie-folie but can't find a web page.
I looked on the web and found Invicta do a similar looking thing and I'd like to check it out. Does anyone know where I might find a stockist here in the UK for Invicta watches?
HELP!! I've been dreaming of this watch and MrTricks loved it and it's our anniversary coming up and... ;)
Answer:
I can't find a stockist list, sorry, but I did find a forum about Invitica watches...perhaps if you ask here someone could help you?
Answer:
Thanks very much. There's a link on that site to the Invicta website where I can call them for international stockists.
Fingers crossed!
Answer:
Hey
Folli Follie are located on the Kings road - not cheap but not too expensive either!!!
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Thanks Elizabethjane! I know they're not cheap in Greece either! :D
Next Sale Today

Next Sale Today
Did anyone else go to the Next Sale today? I didn't think there was much in there :(
Just bought:
Black combat trousers
Light blue trainers
White shoes - although im not sure if I'm going to keep them or not - they're these ones (left, in the middle). What are your opinions on them?
What did everyone else buy?
Answer:
I had a look around and everything just seemed a bit too pastel. Lots of pale blues pale pinks.Which is fine if you suit those colours but I don't.
Had at look at those shoes and I can't say I really dislike them or like them. Not much help am I?!
Answer:
I like your new shoes - were they in the sale?:)
Answer:
I like those shoes Katiya!
I popped in after work (can't believe they were open both before and after I went in...poor assistants, hope they all had short shifts!) and bought a smart white shirt with pink and black pinstripes and some pale duckeggish blue linen trousers for my holiday next summer. Both of which prove speedy gonzalez to be spot on with her pastel comment :D
Answer:
I went, didn't see anything I liked, but bought a new blouse anyway (not in the sale). :)
