Answer:
hello :wave:
I saw it!!! When I saw the feature I wondered if it would be there!
I still haven't worn it, I was going to wear it on Saturday night but I'm just terrified of getting it dirty :rolleyes: When it gets a bit colder I will definitely wear it to work though ;)

Metallic Bags- help needed
NO.2. ask :
Metallic Bags- help needed
I know I am a bit slow of the starting block but I really want a nice metallic bag. the reason I have not bought one is because I already have one of sorts, Ie a Dollagrand grey/blue metallic bag that I got from Tk Maxx (where else?). in any case I want one that is big enough to sling on my shoulder over my a/w coat and that will stand up to a/w weather condions. It's basically to brighten up my wardrobe.
Any help much appreciated.It's also got be cheapish and leather prefably.
Answer:
anyone out there to help?
Answer:
I can only say, get back to TK Maxx!
I bought this
metallic bag on Thursday evening as a birthday gift for a friend. It's a gorgeous burnished gold, which is not too bright. They also had bright gold and bright silver. It was £39.99, soft slouchy leather and she LOVED it!
Answer:
I am trying to keep away from TK Maxx as I am always spending there and I don't need another purse. I need a bigger bag. That one you bought your friend is nice just not big enuff for my everyday life.
Answer:
Topshop seem to have endless designs and styles of metallic bags. I have a fancy one but it was £60 from there - you can get much cheaper ones there too. AND today a random stranger lady told me she thought it was nice.:yay:

Answer:
In case any petite people out there are looking for a good quality coat this year, I'd just like to say that I got mine last year from Precis (at House of Fraser). I'm sure they won't have the exact same one, but I just wanted to mention it because it's such a good cut and fit, and I'm reasonably busty too and it really fits well because of the neckline. They are expensive, but they happened to be having a promotion the week I bought it so I saved £50 at the time. I know Precis can sometimes have quite an "older" image, but for coats I'd say go for it.

I'm afraid I haven't heard of Precis. I agree it's good to find something that fits really well and will last longer than a year though.
I think it's always a toss up between finding something really individual and distintive but something you'll like for the whole winter!
Answer:
Chill in the air? It's boiling!! I really like that second coat.

Mango website postage?
NO.4. ask :
Mango website postage?
Any idea how much for UK postage on an item costing 130 euros?
Sorry - find it a bit frustrating that you have to enter all your details before it will tell you how much the postage would be.
Any details much appreciated!
Answer:
I'm not sure if postage is rated according to the amount you spend, but rated according to the weight of the items?
I have had two separate orders, and the heavier (but cheaper) order cost more in postage.
Answer:
If you register it informs you of the postage costs before you checkout :)
Answer:

Yes, I was just being very lazy and wondering if I coudl find out without doing this!
It's 19 Euro which isn't too bad - I think it would still work out as a £30 saving on the catalogue price as well. I've had far too much private mail delivered to work recently though and don't want to get into trouble so I might just buy in the shop. I think I want to see th coat IRL first as well.
What have you bought more than anything else this summer?
NO.5. ask :
What have you bought more than anything else this summer?
Purses for me
Answer:
C C tshirts!
Answer:
White round-neck t-shirts - HM £3.99
i LIVE in these, they wash well, don't lose shape or go grey (well, not yet). Not see thru but thin enough so you don't get warm.
Answer:
After realising that I needed more accessories, I have been on a mad shopping spree for these over the summer...I started off with hardly anything and now have about 20 long beaded necklaces, 30 belts and god knows how many heres and pairs of earrings!
Answer:
Tops, tops and more tops! I've been stocking up big time on plain t shirts in all colours and on vests as they're something I rarely buy and are so useful for layering. Plus, they're dead cheap! :D
