And I was so sure they'd look awful...
Just tried on those grey drainpipes from DP and they actually look nice! Which as daft as it sounds, is annoying because I can't really justify buying them! I'm skint as usual and have loads of other stuff I want.
Considering I don't usually like their jeans, they weren't in the tall section and I have bigger thighs than I'd like...:mad: now I can't stop thinking about them, how sad!
:rolleyes:
Answer:
You've fallen into the skinny jeans trap:mwahaha:
They are very flattering on aren't they :) I hope you are able to get them somehow!
Answer:
It comes to us all, after confessing last week I would never wear drainpipes unless with boots I am going to wear them out with heels, brainwashing that's what it is.
Answer:
Well certain people on this site might have convinced me that I don't look an idiot in my Primark ones, and that they might actually look good :rolleyes:
I still haven't taken the tags off though, I'm not completely convinced yet!
Answer:
Goooooo on Smallgirl take the tags off.....you look sooooooooo good ;) :flirt:

where's Primark.... and anyone know if there any YSL or Clinique GWPS offers on in any stores?
Answer:
Primark is on New street. You could use the esculators in New street station to get to the palisades, do a left at the top and walk out of the palisades down the ramp - then turn a right and you should be able to see primark from there :)
There's selfridges in the Bullring so would probably worth checking there for beauty offers :)

I have a party this weekend with the theme being 1965 - it's a 40th bday party!!

What was in, in 1965 = mini-skirts, knee length boots, big hair, dark eye make-up, false eyelashes, etc..
..also the Beatles, Mary Quant dresses, the Sound of Music won best film, Malcolm X was assasinated, etc.
Now- any ideas for clothes to buy from high street stores??!! I don't have time to look around!!
Thx.
Answer:
OMG you have the perfect season for all this!
Think beatnik - topshop do a stripey dress for £40. Baker boy caps, false eyelashes and lots of black eyeliner.
So jealous i'd love to do this at the mo!
Answer:
That sounds great.. have you got any links for that dress??
Any other ideas anyone?
Answer:
What Cat said! A GREAT time to do this, I'd go for backcombed hair with a wide black headband, lots of black eyeliner and pale lips then a monochrome mini dress and some long black boots, have Edie Sedgwick as your muse!
Answer:
I can't do links to the topshop site but i bought mine off ebay :)
This dior outfit might be good for inspiration :)
Otherwise a cutesy a line dress with knee boots and a boufant up do would look nice with big earrings!

I am wanting a pair of burgundy court shoes with a low heel. Need them for in a couple of weeks.
Where is the best place to buy them from?
Been looking around but no luck yet.:(
Answer:
Have you tried www.vivaladiva.com? You can actually search by shoe style, heel height and colour, so it makes life a lot easier if you're looking for something specific.
Answer:
O/T: It's such a pain that they don't deliver to Ireland. Simplybe.ie doesn't have the same range of gorge shoes :(

I've seen ones in Clarks and Jones.
these are nice

I got my shoes at last after 2 days of shopping:( veryhard colour to get but I got them a bit darker than my dress.
How Does Primark waiting list work?

How Does Primark waiting list work?
This might seem like a really obvious question but in Trinny and Susannah's column in the Sun yesterday there was a number for the primark waiting list. Is this store specific?
Answer:
I've never heard of this:confused: and I'm a regular at primark. I'm in Ireland though, maybe it's a UK thing. Sounds ideal.
Answer:
I've never heard of it either. I don't know how it would work with their high stock turnover, they don't even have a website :confused:
Answer:
Here's the Primark website but it doesnt say much really!
http://www.primark.co.uk/index.shtml
Answer:
As they won't even hold stuff for you instore i doubt they'd have a waiting list :eek:
It's hardly chanel is it:lol:
Maybe that's the reason why you can never get what you want in there?
