The weather would be sunny one minute and rainy the next. I must have walked 8 hours a day. My typical outfit was jeans, skinny with supportive ballet flats, or bootcuts with converse sneakers. I would have a dressy knit, cardigan and trench or layered tunic. I always wore a statement necklace, 2 brass bangles, scarf and a turquoise twill trench. i would also wear a light and small cross body bag and carry a light hobo tote for umbrella and clothes as they shed. I felt practical and fashionable although not super dressed up for the theate.<br /> There were all levels of dress for the theater,and it was particularly casual in Edinburgh at the Fringe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-london-and-edinburgh#post-87538 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 03:13:33 +0000 Anonymous 87538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back, Jean!

Mostly on young women.<br /> I did not get to Armstrongs, wish that I had. maybe next year. We go every summer which is great fun. I am sure I will get more savvy about all the places to shop. Thank you all for such a warm welcome back!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-london-and-edinburgh#post-87494 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 20:57:52 +0000 marianne 87494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back, Jean! Sounds like a dream vacation for me right now. I've only been to Edinburgh once 20 years ago, and the castle is beautiful. Did you go to any art exhibitions in London? I saw your other post about Warhorse, looks great! Thank you for the fashion report, and I am looking forward to the pictures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-london-and-edinburgh#post-87483 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 19:49:34 +0000 Patience 87483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jean, I'm so glad to hear from you again. Thanks for the summary of what sounds like a wonderful trip. Can't wait to see the goodies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-london-and-edinburgh#post-87476 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 19:39:54 +0000 Dawn 87476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back Jean, it was wonderful to read your style report! I must visit Edinburgh (well and Scotland) sometime soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-london-and-edinburgh#post-87434 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 16:08:37 +0000 judy 87434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jean, I know, that IS an expensive jacket. I was tempted by it for the NAS sale this year, it was about two hundred dollars less, but I got a black one about a year ago that I love, so I practiced restraint. ( I notice that about not coming on the forum as often, I shop much much less, both in spending and in just mere time looking online!)</p> <p>Laura, I love the combo of boots with dresses! Though these aren't cowboy boots, here's a pic of a dress with boots that captures the mood: <a href="http://www.garancedore.fr/en/2009/07/31/la-petite-robe-le-biker-amour-eternel/" rel="nofollow">http://www.garancedore.fr/en/2.....r-eternel/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-london-and-edinburgh#post-87431 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 15:55:38 +0000 Laura 87431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Kristen, you are too cute. No cowboy boots for you?? Yes, we'll add that to our September shopping list.</p> <p>Jean, I went to the Fringe once. It was amazing how many performances you could squeeze into a day! And sigh, how romantic that you were engaged in Edinburgh. It's such a gem of a city. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-london-and-edinburgh#post-87430 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 15:53:56 +0000 sinead 87430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jean, so glad you're back and I can't wait to see pictures. I am wildly jealous of your feast of plays!</p> <p>Having grown up in Texas, it's hard for me to wear my cowboy boots here in Seattle without feeling out of place. But I'll enjoy seeing what everyone comes up with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-london-and-edinburgh#post-87428 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 15:43:12 +0000 Michelle 87428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome home, Jean! Sounds like a marvellous trip in terms of both culture and fashion!<br /> Funny you mention cowboy boots. My mom recently bought a cammel leather pair for a tongue-in-cheek party she has to go to, but they're absolutely gorgeous and I could see myself wearing them! Interesting to know that perhaps she was more on trend than I thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-london-and-edinburgh#post-87360 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 13:11:05 +0000 RoseandJoan 87360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hi greenglove, I am loving hearing your take on style in my home town. You're right cowboy boots, ankle boots and shoe boots are every where. I gues they are the prefect footwear for the unpredictable British weather.</p> <p>below is one of my favourite takes on the trend.</p> <p><a href="http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/stylehunter/archive/2009/08/12/style-hunter--pinstripes-and-fringe.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/s.....fringe.htm</a></p> <p>Did you manage to look at Armstongs on the Grassmarket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-london-and-edinburgh#post-87358 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 12:18:05 +0000 Kristen 87358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not to worry, Laura. We will find flowery, flowy dresses for your cowboy boots.<br /> *rubs hands in anticipation* I want to enjoy the look vicariously through you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-london-and-edinburgh#post-87356 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 12:05:17 +0000 greenglove 87356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, have you been to the fringe?<br /> I did not go into the castle. I was engaged in front of the castle 3 years ago! Such a beautiful city.</p> <p>You could wear your boots with jeans and tunic and probably many more things! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-london-and-edinburgh#post-87354 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 12:00:44 +0000 Laura 87354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, jealous! Love the fringe. Love Edinburgh. Did you go to the castle?</p> <p>Thanks for your description of the cowboy boots look -- I am dying to try that! I don't think I have much to wear with cowboy boots, except my blue boho-style tunic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-london-and-edinburgh#post-87350 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 11:50:44 +0000 greenglove 87350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura,<br /> Dresses with cowboy boots were printed and flowy, light material. I also saw them with jean skirts. the boots were mostly tan colored and very worn looking with leggings. A very Drew Barrymore look if you know what I mean. I was at the Fringe, it was so much fun, so many types of theater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-london-and-edinburgh#post-87347 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 11:46:30 +0000 Kristen 87347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jean, welcome back! Glad you had a great trip, and thanks for your observations. I confess, I am becoming intrigued by the idea of cowboy boots this year...which is so not me, I don't even know what to think! I like the idea of wearing them with dresses, though. Hmmm...</p> <p>Laura, you will look TERRIFIC in that look. I can already picture it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-london-and-edinburgh#post-87344 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 11:38:32 +0000 Laura 87344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back, Jean! You were missed. Were you there for the fringe festival? </p> <p>You have me intrigued with the dress/cowboy boot combo. What kind of dresses? Boho-style? Flowy? </p> <p>I am hoping to make use of my newly stretched and hopefully wearable cowboy boots this fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-london-and-edinburgh#post-87324 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 07:30:40 +0000 rute 87324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back, we can't wait to see the pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-london-and-edinburgh#post-87323 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 07:13:37 +0000 Louise 87323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back glad you had a good time hope our british weather behaved for you x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-london-and-edinburgh#post-87314 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 04:09:42 +0000 shana 87314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back Jean!

Welcome home! I hear from my relatives there that Boston is having a heat wave right now. That elusive moto jacket has been keeping you busy. You'll find it I am sure, just like how the thrifted things seem to come your way easily. Did you ever see this one in person? I thought it had you written all over it:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3034620?Category=&#038;Search=True&#038;SearchType=keywordsearch&#038;keyword=Doma+leather+jacket+in+All+Categories&#038;origin=searchresults" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....rchresults</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-london-and-edinburgh#post-87278 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 22:49:00 +0000 greenglove 87278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello all,<br /> I am back from a very exhilarating trip to the Uk, saw 18 plays in about 12 days, Amazing stuff. Thanks to all for shopping suggestions. I think I peeped into many of the stores that were recommended, although did not have a great amount of time to shop. Never found my moto jacket, still on a search. I stopped into a Karen Millen store in Edinburgh- I could picture Angie wearing everything in the store. The in color is definitely jade green-rich and beautiful!</p> <p>Fashion on the streets was much the same in both Edinburgh and London:<br /> lots of black<br /> leggings<br /> slouchy boots, cowboy boots with dresses<br /> skinnies<br /> stirrup leggins<br /> scarves on everyone<br /> banded tops<br /> moto jackets<br /> The style was not that different however it seemed as if everyone was fashionable which makes it seem as if the cities are overall more fashionable than here in Boston. There did not seem to be much classic clothing.<br /> I bought a few things, will post later. </p>
