I always love seeing and reading your posts and miss you when you’re not here . Your husband certainly doesn’t show his recent medical issues , and both of you look like you are enjoying each other’s company and having a lovely time . I’m now intrigued by these Lands End pants —and am supremely envious of your new Gucci bag ! Great score ! Love you in the pink coat too . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-some-product-reviews#post-1980297 Thu, 06 Dec 2018 23:18:57 +0000 carter 1980297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karen, I totally agree about wearable reminders of great vacations. It makes the items all the more special. Regarding the loafers, I don't normally wear a wide because my heel is narrow and my right foot is wider than the left because of a surgery a couple years ago. I just keep trying until I find a shoe that works for both feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-some-product-reviews#post-1980290 Thu, 06 Dec 2018 22:55:46 +0000 karen13 1980290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous haul and what a fun trip. Thanks for sharing. It is so nice to get wearable reminder of a memorable vacation. I hope this trip was just the medicine you DH needed.</p> <p>I'm intrigued by the Cole Haan loafer and may have to check them out. I struggle with loafer with the same wide forefoot narrow heel always causing slippage. I typically wear a Wide widths - do you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-some-product-reviews#post-1980262 Thu, 06 Dec 2018 21:56:14 +0000 carter 1980262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I knew you'd love the Furla! And you're right, this trip was extra special. Hoping there will be more while he can still manage them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-some-product-reviews#post-1980258 Thu, 06 Dec 2018 21:51:33 +0000 carter 1980258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the sweet words, Suz.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-some-product-reviews#post-1980257 Thu, 06 Dec 2018 21:50:04 +0000 Angie 1980257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a memorable trip.

I must say, the two of you <b>look </b>fantastic, and what a fun trip you must have had! You are looking your classic elegant best in these spiffy and practical new items.

So glad your DH is doing better -- I hope he continues to do better every day. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>You got some beautiful items - love the color of that warm pink coat and the handbags are also both very nice.&nbsp; I also use puffer vests in winter quite often and find them very comfortable. And belts are so easy to pack, why not add to the collection ;-).<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-spree-and-some-product-reviews#post-1980218 Thu, 06 Dec 2018 19:55:05 +0000 carter 1980218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a good thing I didn't sign up for no-shopping November. I think I bought more in last month or so than I have in the past two years combined. The good news is I found some winners.</p> <p>Cole Haan Loafers: These loafers walked 5-7 miles/day all over London last month. I had taken my Skechers for heavy walking days, but these were so much better on my hips and back that the Skechers only got worn one day. I wear my loafers sockless with a Spenco insert, so I sized up 1/2 size to accommodate the insert. I have a fairly narrow heel, but I need some room in the toe box, both horizontally and vertically to comfortably work. These are perfect. Great quality shoe.</p> <p>Down Vests: I was ordering some things for my husband and son from Lands End and threw in some things for myself on a whim. Total winners all the way around. Who knew?? I'm in love with these vests. It's so hard for me to wear a real coat when I'm wearing a sweater, because I feel like I'm wearing a straight jacket. But the vests work great for this. They're roomy enough for a bulky sweater, warm (by Atlanta standards), and long enough to cover a bit of tush. They come in several colors and they're quite inexpensive in the current sale</p> <p>Pants: I thought these two pair of Land End pants might be useful for my recent London trip. The Bi-Stretch ankle pants look and fit great. True, dark black. Very slimming. Wash well. No bagging out. The Starfish Slim Leg pants are slightly off-black, which makes them a bit less usable for me, given the number of true black tops I wear. However, I wore them back and forth to London. Felt like pajamas, yet they look great.&nbsp; They wash well too. These will be a great update to my loungewear capsule. Also super inexpensive in the current sale.</p> <p>Handbags: My husband bought me the Furla Stacy in Sabbia Beige for my birthday. Amazing color...kinda gray, kinda taupe. Great size. Both handle and crossbody straps. The Gucci Jackie was a great surprise find. There was a designer bag resale shop right across the street from our hotel in London. There's new inventory coming in everyday, so of course I stopped in every day :-). The very last day of our stay, there she was.</p> <p>Boden: The last time we were in London, I made my husband trek all the way out to the original Boden in a fairly sketchy area outside the city. Thank heavens there's now one on Kings Rd. The pink coat is fantastic. It's a warmer rather than cooler shade of pink. Fab buttons, nice pockets. Not too heavy. My normal size was perfect, even with a light sweater. I also picked up a couple new belts while I was there. I need another belt like I need a hole in my head, but I really liked the round gold buckles on these, so they came home with me.</p> <p>Pictures:<br />1--My sweet husband. He's had an extraordinarily difficult year healthwise. The trip wasn't easy on him physically, but we had a wonderful time. Here's the Boden coat in action.</p> <p>2--A basement and sub-basement level nightclub. I'm pretty sure we were the only two who weren't somehow connected to the Russian mob.&nbsp;</p> <p>3--He was so happy to be away from the daily medical stuff, that he was even smiling while I was shopping.</p> <p>4--The Furla bag in action last night.</p> <p>5--The poor man. I made him pose for pictures everywhere.</p> <p>6--The Cole Haan loafers and the LE Bi-Stretch pants</p> <p>7--Travel outfit with the LE Starfish pants</p> <p>8--Stunning handbag in Max Mara. Unfortunately (or fortunately) it was too big for my frame. Someone tall needs this bag. I couldn't do a find for it, but here's the link.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://us.maxmara.com/p-4516028306002-jane1h-tobacco">https://us.maxmara.com/p-45160.....1h-tobacco</a></p> <p>Hope that was helpful!</p> </p>
