Can't wait to read your full report. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edinburgh-scotland-anne-fontaine-shop#post-26937 Sun, 21 Sep 2008 16:38:24 +0000 shiny 26937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found her site confusing too - you're not alone in that!</p> <p>When we were in Paris we visited two separate AF shops, one which was closed (so all we did was window lick) and one which I got a chance to shop at. It seemed that the two stores had different inventory. So my *guess* is that even if you fall in love with something in the catalog, it may not be in the store you visit. </p> <p>Also by the time we were there, the summer sales season had just concluded, so sizing was slim pickings. Ulitmately none of them fit me anyway... but hopefully you'll have better luck!! The blouses are truly amazing and worth every penny. </p> <p>If they had fit me, I'd have splurged and bought two: one classic blouse and one statement blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edinburgh-scotland-anne-fontaine-shop#post-26882 Sat, 20 Sep 2008 22:20:52 +0000 Angie 26882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are cheapest in France and they do go on sale. You’re looking at about 150 euro as a baseline price. But the exchange rate is bad at the moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edinburgh-scotland-anne-fontaine-shop#post-26865 Sat, 20 Sep 2008 18:29:53 +0000 shell 26865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so, just out of curiosity, what is the price range for AF tops? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edinburgh-scotland-anne-fontaine-shop#post-26781 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 23:59:50 +0000 Debbie 26781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow I find her website frustrating! I must be an impatient online shopper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edinburgh-scotland-anne-fontaine-shop#post-26777 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 23:53:38 +0000 Ana 26777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AF has a "core" collection of shirts, mostly in the more "classic" button down styling, that she doesn't always feature in her catalogs. The catalogs are good for ideas and things, but I've found just going and browsing is the best way to find something good, and that will work for you. Things are usually much more beautiful and detailed in person than in the catalog, and also she layers things in the photos, so you can't see that most of them will "stand on their own" so to speak. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edinburgh-scotland-anne-fontaine-shop#post-26774 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 23:50:14 +0000 Debbie 26774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would want a classic l/s white shirt that I can wear with straight dark denim jeans, flats and a fab bag for 5-7 years! lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edinburgh-scotland-anne-fontaine-shop#post-26687 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 04:07:52 +0000 julijuli 26687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ana for posting that. My husband goes to SF a lot and he brought me back a catalog from AF. I was wondering how much the shirts actually were - so it's good to get an idea. Also, is the catalog the full collection? Or, are there more items in the store that aren't in there? I'll be down in SF in November and am planning on stopping by the store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edinburgh-scotland-anne-fontaine-shop#post-26676 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 03:04:48 +0000 Ana 26676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, I just now opened the mail and got a catalog from AF with a sheet that has the prices listed, so if you find anything that catches your eye online, I can tell you how much it is. The prices I have are in US dollars though, it might be different in the UK. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edinburgh-scotland-anne-fontaine-shop#post-26668 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 02:17:28 +0000 Ana 26668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are no prices posted on her site, but I'd probably say expect to pay $300 -$350 (USD). If you go to the site and click collection on that tree graphic, you will be able to click on a book and that has the collection (part of it) where you can see it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edinburgh-scotland-anne-fontaine-shop#post-26653 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 01:00:23 +0000 Angie 26653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Edinburgh is beautiful! My brother and his family use to live there. It will be cold so wrap up warm. You shall have a BALL. </p> <p>It’s hard to say what style you should get. Consider them all, try on as many as you see fit and think about when and how you plan to actually wear the item. That should narrow it down quite a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edinburgh-scotland-anne-fontaine-shop#post-26631 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 21:44:28 +0000 Debbie 26631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Laura! I am so excited! We first go to Ireland for business for DH then Scotland (only 3 days there though) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edinburgh-scotland-anne-fontaine-shop#post-26627 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 21:22:27 +0000 Laura 26627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although I know nothing about the Anne Fontaine shop in Edinburgh, I had to pop in to say that just the headline of your post alone had me salivating! Love Edinburgh - such a romantic gem of a city! Please take some photos for us - would love to live vicariously. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edinburgh-scotland-anne-fontaine-shop#post-26621 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 20:10:40 +0000 Debbie 26621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In October I will be in Edinburgh and may be able to go to the Anne Fontaine shop there.</p> <p>I tried to look at the collection on the AF website and must be doing something wrong because I cannot see any clothing or prices!</p> <p>I would like to buy one white blouse there. Are they known for fittings? I know the prices are high but I would like to invest in a fab white blouse.</p> <p>So if I go in without any idea of what style I want, they are well trained to help me find a style that will flatter? </p>
