Take your time. You're very kind to even offer to do this for YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-128378 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 13:10:26 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 128378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - just to let you know that I haven't forgotten about taking photos of shop windows but it has been really rainy in London and I am not quite co-ordinated to manage camera and umbrella! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127967 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 20:27:57 +0000 Angie 127967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed, Cathy! I hope those clog/sandals work for your feet - even if it's just for 2 hours because they are so you I can't stand it :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127947 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 18:27:29 +0000 cciele 127947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie -- I like those Topshop ones! They're a little different than the pair I ordered, which are lower and braided. I ordered mine from Yoox; the silver was from last season so was on sale. I'm getting them on Thursday and will report back! Are you going to go for some clogs? :)</p> <p>Angie -- Yes, I think they are more sandal-like than clog like. Although the heel, being wooden and clunky reminds me for clogs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127869 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 06:18:49 +0000 RoseandJoan 127869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cathy, Topshop have just started selling the shoes you ordered but their colours are limited to black and brown. I love the silver and hope they are comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127740 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:42:28 +0000 Angie 127740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Julie. That's the subject of my blog post tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127713 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 16:10:39 +0000 RoseandJoan 127713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfortunately there is an abundance of skinny cropped trousers, the type that require a very high heel to look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127710 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 16:07:19 +0000 Angie 127710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great info, ladies! Thanks. </p> <p>Not much grey around here anymore. It's all about 90's beige. Urggghhhh. </p> <p>I see mid heels coming through here too - but there are still plenty of super high heels around at the same time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127652 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 12:42:36 +0000 Dawn 127652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I forgot to say yesterday that low heels and wedges seem to be making a return! (yay!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127641 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 09:27:01 +0000 Karianne 127641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We see a lot of the same trends here in Norway - ditsy floral prints, nude colours, coral, the maritime look (stripey tops), moto jackets in a variety of shapes, materials and colours, the leggings/jeggings/treggings still going strong, often combined with long, loose and/or draped tops. The trench is a big trend, as is pale denim. Regarding shoes, there are a lot of chunky/stacked heel gladiator-type sandals, as well as ballerinas and wedges. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127639 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 08:01:09 +0000 Ele 127639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nertz, I didn't even see this yesterday- how I could have overlooked it, I'm not sure. </p> <p>Anyway, everyone else has done such a fab job that I don't have much to add. I'm also seeing the small prints, the blush pink and navy, the stripes and polka dots. Also higher necklines (like Dawn said) but still with v. short hemlines. Stores near me have lots of dove grey too, which I don't think has been mentioned yet. It looks like a good season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127571 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 01:00:43 +0000 Angie 127571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Dawn and Inge. Splendid feedback! Blush pink is making a statement here too – but colours in America on the whole seem a little brighter than in Europe at the moment. So much coral and turquoise! Also still loads and loads and loads of new stock moto jackets, leggings, cage heels, tunics and boyfriend blazers. </p> <p>Cathy, the pretty shoes you’ve ordered are definitely sandals in my book and not clogs – don’t you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127499 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 21:51:46 +0000 Inge 127499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't been in too many shops lately, so I'm not quite up to speed at the moment. What I've seen in shop windows:</p> <p>- lots of coral, black and also a darkish pink (which I haven't seen anywhere online in international stores), not a lot of turquoise yet at the moment<br /> - cascading cardigans (yay!! glad they're still around)<br /> - beige, beige and more beige (makes me sad;-)<br /> - ditsy florals here too, very eighties (silhouettes in general too), but not in a good way in my opinion, it looks quite old-fashioned<br /> - hemlines still quite short (as a taller lass, I'm really looking forward to the longer skirts and dresses you are predicting for Autumn 2010 Angie)<br /> - boho elements everywhere<br /> - leggings are still going strong (the denim kind has finally arrived here too)<br /> - a few stripes (I need more!) and not a polka dot in sight (bummer)<br /> - I don't think I've seen a tunic button-down shirt yet either, do hope they will be around soon<br /> - some fun banded tops</p> <p>No idea about footwear yet.<br /> It's great to read everyone's take on this, but now I want to go shopping!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127474 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 20:58:07 +0000 cciele 127474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Regarding clogs, are Swedish Hasbeens big in your neck of the woods? I love their '70s retro look. Here are their super-high slip-in clogs:<br /> <a href="http://www.swedishhasbeens.com/slip-in-super-high-p-5.html?osCsid=82919479c803c9684a05555f3213bf68" rel="nofollow">http://www.swedishhasbeens.com.....5f3213bf68</a></p> <p>I broke down and ordered a pair of their silver high braided clog/sandals. We'll see how they work out </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127455 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 20:11:22 +0000 Dawn 127455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What I've been seeing lately in Ireland in Irish, British and Euro stores are:</p> <p>Lots and lots of florals- as Fiona said, they are mostly ditsy, twee floral patterns which remind me of my granny's china collection. I've seen florals in both dusky neutrals and in brights. I'll be passing on this trend though as they make me look way too young.</p> <p>Navy as the neutral of choice and lots of other shades of blue to accompany it. I love the return of navy as it's my favourite neutral</p> <p>Nautical trend + gold coloured hardware + red</p> <p>Return of the boho trend as well with loads of fringes and use of earthy colours.</p> <p>Higher necklines- these aren't up to the collarbones but there is certainly less cleavage in these tops. </p> <p>Sheer material has also made a return in shops such as AWear and New Look and have often been combined with higher necklines and hiding the waistline.</p> <p>I've seen loads of stripes and polka dots.</p> <p>The other trend which is going strong is nudes in shades of cream, beige and the lightest of pink. </p> <p>Structure is still important as Mad Men-esque dresses continue to sell, and boyfriend blazers and cropped blazers are selling like hotcakes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127443 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 19:39:54 +0000 Angie 127443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah! Julie. We might be wearing heeled clogs after all. I fancy them in white or metal. </p> <p>You rock, Fiona. Excellent information. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127434 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 19:32:53 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 127434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also strong shoulder details, not necessarily shoulder pads, but ruffles or hardwear details, especially on dresses.</p> <p>Underwear as outerwear.</p> <p>Florals - a lot of larger prints, but also some ditsy prints. </p> <p>A couple of weeks ago there were a lot of dresses featuring geometric, laser type prints, but they seem to have disappeared.</p> <p>Old school satchels - the Alexa bag by Mulberry is being heavily copied. ASOS is doing a few bags in yellow and coral.</p> <p>I did walk into Mango the other day and wondered if I had been transported back into the 1990s, but then checked and I was still 31.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127426 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 19:27:12 +0000 RoseandJoan 127426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do Angie and I laughed at the thought of heeled clogs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127423 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 19:25:18 +0000 Angie 127423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Louise. Nautical themes come out in Dec around here as they form part of resort wear collections. </p> <p>Thank you, Julie! We're seeing a few similar trends here: </p> <p>o Lots of gold<br /> o Fringe<br /> o Trench coats – as always<br /> o Beige and Fatiques<br /> o Stripes<br /> o Cascading cardigans<br /> o Ditsy florals<br /> o Pastels </p> <p>I’m waiting for the clogs to surface – do you remember that I wrote a post suspecting that they would surface for Spring? </p> <p>Rute, Zara sets the Euro street fashion scene. Period. And rightly so :0)</p> <p>Fiona - you are fab. I'd love you to do that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127416 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 19:19:52 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 127416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The spotted Macs are so cute.</p> <p>I would also add blush tones as the other big trend. Not beige so much but very light muted skin tone pinks.</p> <p>Double denim is another trend and also cullottes.</p> <p>I work about a 3 minute walk from Regent Street Angie, so I'm happy to go and take some photos of shop windows for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127406 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 19:03:34 +0000 RoseandJoan 127406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooo, interesting post</p> <p>I'm seeing cigarette jeans/ trousers everywhere<br /> Jersey blazers<br /> Denim everything, from shoes to blazers and handbags<br /> Chanel type clogs<br /> <a href="http://www.clarks.co.uk/find/newline-is-newline/product-is-20338911" rel="nofollow">http://www.clarks.co.uk/find/n.....s-20338911</a><br /> Possible fringe trend - the patterned trouser<br /> <a href="http://www.next.co.uk/shopping/women/tailoredlooks/5/5?extra=sch&#038;n=women&#038;pid=492-400&#038;exclude=00AZ00%7c00A00&#038;returnurl=%2fshop%2fgattgender%2dwomen%2dcat%2dtrousers%2d8%3fnxti%3d0%26nxtv%3d000%26isort%3dbst&#038;bct=%26quot%3bShop%20By%20Product%26quot%3b%26nbsp%3b%26gt%3b%26nbsp%3bWomen%26nbsp%3b%26gt%3b%26nbsp%3bTrousers" rel="nofollow">http://www.next.co.uk/shopping.....3bTrousers</a><br /> <a href="http://www.whistles.co.uk/fcp/categorylist/dept/shop?resetFilters=true" rel="nofollow">http://www.whistles.co.uk/fcp/.....lters=true</a><br /> Trench coats are more abundant than usual<br /> Stripes are everywhere<br /> Gold hardware replacing silver<br /> whew! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127404 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 19:01:58 +0000 Louise 127404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Navy blue, there's a real nautical theme going on here x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127400 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 18:53:53 +0000 rute 127400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) I know Angie, sometimes I think that what we wear each season is dictated by Zara, what they have is what you see in the streets! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127396 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 18:48:26 +0000 Angie 127396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Louise, what type of blue? </p> <p>Thanks Rute, Zara and H&amp;M have areas that look like just that at the moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127375 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 18:05:02 +0000 rute 127375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here in Portugal I see lots flowy, feminine dresses and blouses, in tan, beije, white, I see some prints with small flowers but no polka dots, no strong colors, everything is pastel, nude and neutral.</p> <p>As to style I see a lot of bohemian looks, long tunics, nude leather vests, long cascading cardis, silk straight dresses (hidding the waist). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127369 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 17:56:15 +0000 Louise 127369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving the polka dots and got mum in a very trendy combo of red, white and blue for the second of the 2 weddings x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/att-euro-gals#post-127362 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 17:48:11 +0000 Angie 127362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Louise.
