Are you looking to buy new or used? If new, you’d be best trying Bicester. You should be able to get a Vivienne Westwood within your budget. Otherwise there’s coach, Tory Burch, Kate spade. They do virtual shopping if you don’t live locally.

It will be new. Bicester is about 3 hours from me so online it will have to be 😂

It's more the style I'm struggling with!

Speaking of sunglasses, has anyone ordered from Pretavoir? I gather they’re really an online optician, but you can order sunglasses with normal non prescription lenses… it’s the only place I can find a Chanel pair I wish I bought last year, but not sure how they’d turn out lens wise, and also they’re much cheaper than normal retail, so I’m suspicious….

Are Rolex back in stores now? My friend was looking for one last year and there was 0 stock anywhere

Does anyone have any experience with Vivienne Westwood watches? I usually wear Olivia Burton day to day but I got a little bit of money for my birthday and was looking to buy something a bit more ‘high end’ (well ‘high end’ for my budget🤣). Or are there any alternative brands around £200-£300 you would recommend for watches? I’ve seen a couple of Tory Burch watches that are nice but I’m not crazy about them.

I have a few Hunza G swimsuits and I love them. Very comfortable, any other swimsuit feels very restrictive after wearing one. Super flattering cuts and beautiful colours. I don’t know how they compare with the ASOS ones but the only cons I can find is that the light colours can be see thru and you have to be quite gentle with them as the fabric isn’t massively tough. I’d def recommend though. I plan on buying another for summer.

Thank you! I think I’ll definitely get some then. I had some ASOS ones last year and I found that the material took AGES to dry and ended up making me sore on my arms where it was rubbing against damp material for so long!
I know there’s no inbuilt support, but is the material thick/fitted enough to hold boobs in place?

did anyone go to The Mall Firenze? are there good deals that worth the trip from Florence?

I’ve been wondering about this for some time, it looks pretty good from the YouTube ‘shop with me’ style vids, and I think a regular shuttle bus runs from central Florence. Would also like to know of other people’s experiences there.

I tried on the Celine Triomphe 01 Sunglasses and I was pleasantly surprised that it suited my face. Hesitant on buying them though because they're exxy. Not opposed to buying expensive sunglasses but I was more impressed with Jacques Marie Mage.

Does anyone have the YSL Rive Gauche tote? Just wondering if it gets dirty easily!

I need a big bag for just shoving things in… not sure if I like it or if it’s just a bit ‘done’ now. It’s also gone up so much in price… I think it was about £700 when I first liked it!

As someone who's visited flannels warehouse, as well as other retailers Selfridges etc, I would never buy from flannels (or any other SD shop). They treat their stock with as much care as the stock for HOF. I'd imagine that staff working there have similar working conditions to Amazon

Tell us more if you can? I’ve always wondered what the warehouses of high end online retailers look like! Are they the same as BooHoo type places where everything is stacked in boxes ready to be picked? How are garments stored? And the security must be tighter? Genuinely interested x

Can you lovely ladies recommend me some wedding shoes please? (White/ivory). I wore Manolo Hangisi pumps on my engagement and want something a little different for the wedding 🙂 so maybe some sandals?

I have the sweet Alhambra MOP necklace. It’s super pretty and the chain is really light and dainty. One thing I will say though, the chain gets tangled SO easily, it’s really annoying…I wear it a few days a week but not super often, and never in the shower. A lot of people say not to wear them in water or use lotions/sprays near them as the pearl can shrink or deteriorate over time.

i also have the MOP vintage Alhambra 5 motif bracelet, which I just wear occasionally. Tbh I’ve seen mixed reviews. Some people say you can wear them every day and in water and it’s fine, but others say you should avoid it. I might shower with mine next time and see what happens 😅

I did like the plain gold one too- that probably will hold up better.
