People wanted to grab it away from me - in the good way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-a-grown-up-thing#post-409517 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 19:46:43 +0000 modgrl 409517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the leather dress.

I had not heard of her but her site is now marked as a favourite! I love the dresses!! The black satin with the bees (!) is beautiful.

I like Mary Portas. My credit card is at its happiest moment in the month right now and it's free delivery and returns if you sound lots of money so I've ordered a few things to try, especially as they're clearly selling out fast. I'm quite strong willed so will probably send most of it back, but I've ordered a few pairs of tights and will probably keep at least one of those!</p> <p>Thank you for drawing my attention to this! I especially like that she's collaborating with eg Clarks for shoes and Radley for bags, so you are getting a tried and trusted quality and know-how as part of the package. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-a-grown-up-thing#post-408949 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 20:46:37 +0000 annagybe 408949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm surprised how much I like it. Love the green leopard dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-a-grown-up-thing#post-408947 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 20:37:29 +0000 Ginkgo 408947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it very much! Certainly agree with her that past the 40s it gets a bit trickier following trends; most of us need to to keep to a more sophisticated version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-a-grown-up-thing#post-408939 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 20:06:23 +0000 RoseandJoan 408939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure if Mary Portas is well known in the US, she is a retail expert credited with turning the fortunes of Harvey Nichols, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Portas" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Portas</a> and I found her TV show Mary Queen of Shops fascinating. Now after catching a glimpse of her look book I wish her every success with her clothing line aimed at the grown up women. What do you think of the line?<br /> <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/fashion/gallery/2011/aug/18/mary-portas-shop#/?picture=378000814&#038;index=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.guardian.co.uk/fash.....38;index=0</a><br /> <a href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Mary%20Portas/MaryPortas,default,pg.html?cm_mmc=google-_-Mary%20Portas-_-Mary%20Portas%20-%20HVK-_-mary%20portas&#038;gclid=CIOOr_PZ46oCFQENtAod92LU7A" rel="nofollow">http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk.....tAod92LU7A</a> </p>
