You're living my fantasy life, shopping Mayfair. Yummy yummy! How can I remind my mum subtly that her idea of a family trip back to England was brilliant?! Lol.

But I WILL be trying that trick on my husband, for sure!</p> <p>Thanks for introducing me to the Hobbs website, I was most thrilled to see a lot of the sleeveless sheath dresses styled on the models with sleeved UNDERlayers: blouses, turtlenecks, tees. You rarely see this type of styling, normally you're expected to go bare-armed (not at my age) or top with a jacket or sweater (but I don't want to hide the dress!). </p> <p>So you've influenced me in a way you surely weren't thinking about, but thank you!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobbs-my-new-favorite-dress-store-and-bonus-precious/page/2#post-1768597 Fri, 13 Jan 2017 20:56:09 +0000 Anonymous 1768597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm living vicariously through you, I hope you realize. First, a trip to London . Then, new dresses. Then Burberry . (I must try the whispering trick, maybe it's better than my shouting ) . And then the woman cave. The bas is perfection - and I hope you love it. Will look lovely with your new dresses. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobbs-my-new-favorite-dress-store-and-bonus-precious/page/2#post-1768456 Fri, 13 Jan 2017 12:56:49 +0000 lyn67 1768456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you are a lucky girl- surely deserved all your gift from DH!

Plus I have a knockoff version that I bought for $5 on a riverbank in Cambodia! ;)</p> <p>All the major shops were open and it was crazy busy! So many people you could barely make your way down the sidewalk -- er, pavement! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobbs-my-new-favorite-dress-store-and-bonus-precious#post-1768003 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 01:33:04 +0000 Karie 1768003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you had a great time in London!

I was going to ask why no scarf from Burberry and then I remembered it's probably too warm for your climate. Were many shops open when you were there? I saw a photo of a deserted Trafalgar Square somewhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobbs-my-new-favorite-dress-store-and-bonus-precious#post-1767969 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 00:22:45 +0000 Alexandra 1767969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How exciting!

Burberry bags like what you have will last a long long time. And the dresses are beautiful and every time you put them on, the wonderful energy of your trip will give you a little boost. Way to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobbs-my-new-favorite-dress-store-and-bonus-precious#post-1767946 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 23:30:03 +0000 MsMaven 1767946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great trip--sounds like it was so much fun. I can't wait to see you in the dresses. I suspect that bag will last and last. Great choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobbs-my-new-favorite-dress-store-and-bonus-precious#post-1767906 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 22:05:39 +0000 MsMary 1767906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, April, the Woman Cave is my new dressing room/closet/office at the new Marital Residence (formerly LH's house). Can't wait for it to be installed because I'm still living out of boxes after four months! And YES, it will be filled with light!</p> <p>Funny you should mention that: When we got married, the minister asked us each to privately email her three things we loved about each other, and one thing we each found challenging about the other. My "challenge" was "it's too dark in his (now our) house." &nbsp;And his "challenge" was "she keeps turning on all the lights and I have to follow her around turning them off!"
