Glad you had a great holiday. Thanks for the store names! The shopping centre in the next big town has just been expanded and there is an Ally or something along those lines there now - will have to go and have a look. I actually walked through the centre the other day and there was a store called Foxx Foe (??) and they had a ruched sleeved top in the window too - but was in a mad rush so didn't get a chance to look.... all these new stores I'd never heard of LOL anne on "Shopping trip" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trip#post-144358 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 15:32:43 +0000 anne 144358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi! I am back from my holidays. Thanks for all the comments. We had a fabulous time! The ruched top comes from a shop I had never seen before called Ally or Allie. Teresa The grey cardi was from Just Jeans (and DD is supercute!) Tam, I know what you mean about the Ezibuy longline shirt. My only concern with that is that that don't have it in my size and the Capture brand sometimes seems to run on the bigger side.

I know I'm now just being a copy-cat, but I really love the ruched sleeve top on you as well. It is super flattering and can envisage it forming the basis of many stylish outfits over this autumn and into winter. Hope you are having/had a wonderful holiday! yublocka on "Shopping trip" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trip#post-141184 Thu, 08 Apr 2010 06:20:00 +0000 yublocka 141184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Anne I think you've done really well!! Love the white cardie and the ruched sleeve top particularly. As for long tartan tunic, were you considering trying out the ezibuy one you linked to before? That caught my eye as well. Certainly doesn't give off a grungy vibe either! Theresa on "Shopping trip" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trip#post-140632 Tue, 06 Apr 2010 02:14:52 +0000 Theresa 140632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh Anne I absolutely LOVE that ruched sleeve top! Where did you find that one? Also really like the grey drapey cardi. There's one similar to that at supre that I'm looking at... Your DD looks cute as! anne on "Shopping trip" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trip#post-140582 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 23:19:45 +0000 anne 140582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Just realised I forgot to add the password which is ylfstuff. Also I am off on holidays for 10 days or so. Thanks again for your help everyone! anne on "Shopping trip" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trip#post-140443 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 12:24:22 +0000 anne 140443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Puffenstuff you have been so helpful. I am really tempted now I see those Rivers coats are in other colours too. Here are the photos. First 5 pics on <a href="http://s297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/winter%202010/" rel="nofollow">http://s297.photobucket.com/al.....er%202010/</a> Please excuse quality - am on holiday and not my house, computer etc. Picture 3 is DD6 in her new jeggings which she LOVES! puffenstuff on "Shopping trip" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trip#post-140436 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 11:47:48 +0000 puffenstuff 140436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Anne here is the link to the Rivers page with all their jackets on it <a href="http://www.rivers.com.au/catalogdb/catalog-www.asp?category=36" rel="nofollow">http://www.rivers.com.au/catal.....ategory=36</a> They have $8 flat delivery fee anywhere in Australia but might be worth checking their return policy if you're interested. anne on "Shopping trip" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trip#post-140422 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 10:29:11 +0000 anne 140422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Angie, I am geting into online shopping more, but it is nothing like the US yet, in terms of availability Puffenstuff. I _love_ that denim jacket!! The puffer jacket looks good too (and good price) though I wouldn't pick brown. We don't have DFO over here Katieipea, thanks for the empathy! BTW this is my current pleather jacket <a href="http://s297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/?action=view&current=100_7011.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s297.photobucket.com/al.....0_7011.jpg</a> Anything new has to beat that!

I feel your pain. I ran around the shops like a woman posessed on Saturday because it is the first chance I've had in four months to shop without three "assistants" in tow. I really like the stuff you've got so far and the ideas you have for other winter basics. I looked at the online Witchery website, thinking it may have some inspiration, but the prices gave me a slight shock (still recovering from palpitations at $500 jackets!). I also noticed fcuk (french connection) has an online shop as well, but once again, some of the looks are fairly pricey. I totally understand your "bogan" concern BTW and am frequently telling my husband to tell me if I ever look like "mutton"..... puffenstuff on "Shopping trip" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trip#post-140364 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 03:43:09 +0000 puffenstuff 140364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Anne what a bummer about not picking up the items you like - definately can relate to tartan tunics & bogans (picking them with black jeans and ugg boots!) Ezibuy has a nice denim jacket - I am sure that they have a 30 day return policy so if the fit is bad you can send it back for a refund <a href="http://www.ezibuy.com.au/Womens/Capture/Jackets_~_Vests/Capture_Denim_Jacket/51569.shtm" rel="nofollow">http://www.ezibuy.com.au/Women.....51569.shtm</a> They've also got some nice stuff at Rivers - I've picked out a few examples but I dont know if these are the kind of thing you're looking for.

Theresa on "Shopping trip" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trip#post-140310 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 00:49:33 +0000 Theresa 140310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh Anne, as frustrating as it must be to come home with a longer "didn't get" list than "did get", I really like what you did get. I can't wait to see the dark blue ruched long sleeve top - it sounds fabulous. Angie on "Shopping trip" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trip#post-140170 Sun, 04 Apr 2010 15:26:39 +0000 Angie 140170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ah. That is annoying. Do you have luck shopping online in Australia? anne on "Shopping trip" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trip#post-140156 Sun, 04 Apr 2010 14:39:46 +0000 anne 140156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Will get to pics eventually Angie. I guess I am just annoyed beause as you know I don't get to do big city shopping very often. One year I did it in July and felt like the winter stock was already gone. So I tried to go early this year and it was too early! Angie on "Shopping trip" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trip#post-140155 Sun, 04 Apr 2010 14:37:18 +0000 Angie 140155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ One shopping trip at a time, I guess! The stock is slow to come out. It was like that in Europe with the Spring stock too. Still lots of Winter around. I like your stash so far though. Lets see it! anne on "Shopping trip" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trip#post-140154 Sun, 04 Apr 2010 14:32:20 +0000 anne 140154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Taylor, I have seen some pleather but not much denim. I guess I have been reluctant to order online because it is so much of a fit issue, but now that I have checked out the shops and have been dissapointed I am more likely to try it. The jackets I have are adequate so I only want to replace if I can get something better. taylor on "Shopping trip" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trip#post-140041 Sun, 04 Apr 2010 02:32:19 +0000 taylor 140041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, it sounds like you scored some good buys...but have some shopping left to do. Can you order a pleather and denim jacket on line, or none to be found there either? anne on "Shopping trip" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trip#post-140032 Sun, 04 Apr 2010 01:14:54 +0000 anne 140032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ okay so that safely went through - I'll continue I was in general really disappointed. Mostly still summer stock, and not much of good quality. What I didn't get (from my list) Pleather jacket - plenty of these around but none as good as the worn out one I already own from 8 years ago. Pleather quality not good and whenever I thought I liked the look of a jacket it turned out to be real leather! (and thus too pricy) Denim jacket - hardly any around and none in dark wash Longline tartan tunic - didn't see any and the tartan shirts that were around were faded looking or such loose weave they looked like they'd catch on anything. I am going off tartan shirts having seen then on teennyboppers all day. They are reminiscent of the bogan look (Aussies will know what I mean) Padded jacket - liked this one <a href="http://www.jacquie.com.au/asp/product.asp?category=Jackets&line=518858" rel="nofollow">http://www.jacquie.com.au/asp/.....ine=518858</a> but not the colour or price. Again not much to choose from here Sweater - didn't get one - not much around longsleeve tees - not many that weren't just plain ruched sleeve top - I did get one (see above) but most were short sleeve. Also many in tee shirt material when I would have preferred knit anne on "Shopping trip" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-trip#post-140030 Sun, 04 Apr 2010 01:06:05 +0000 anne 140030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well I have already lost a huge post on my shopping trip yesterday so will keep this brief. I bought these shoes <a href="http://www.kumfs.co.nz/product-details/product-details.aspx?prname=SAFFY&prstyle=SAFFY&proid=181355&prcol=NAVY&pr=Casuals" rel="nofollow">http://www.kumfs.co.nz/product.....pr=Casuals</a> A dark blue l/s ruched sleeve tee a white s/s cardi a new watch a lightweight grey drapy cardi and leggings for each daughter and jeggings for the oldest
