• In order to improve site performance, long threads that are draining our loading time will be closed and we are going to be periodically starting new threads. This should help pages load faster. If we do not close these threads we do not have a safety margin to handle heavy traffic and tFS will crash.
• All images must have a credit (if you are the photographer, you can say so). Any images without a credit will be deleted.
• Please remember that not everyone is on a fast connection, or has a large screen, and keep your picture sizes to 800 pixels or less in the largest dimension. This will also help with page load speed.
• Please refrain from posting the same images as contained in the archived threads (eg in the old closed thread).
• Please stay on topic!
• Please do not power post ex. make empty posts with no Info/questions/Images - Empty posts cause threads to grow rapidly and is a nuisance to those who subscribe to many threads. Please take any private conversations to PMs or Profile Comments.

Ditte, it's so funny, I just bought the same shirt (grey one in the third pic) at Zara yesterday . I like the softness and shape.
Congrats on the bracelet. I always liked it.

I was after a Burberry trech coat for so long, but for some reason I never managed to like it on me, or the price tag - now I got it on sale from Burberry site - I'l just need to figure out how to post their pictures..

 

[caroulemapoule]

Verena: Thank you so much, I love it too. And I got it from the sales

 

[Hebden]

A few days ago...Apple iTouch...though I don't have it yet due to it being back-ordered/waiting for engraving...

Today, at H&M's $10 sale...

 

[lollicandy]

iLoveCouture, I like the Erin Kleinberg tank. Could you let us know how the quality of it is? I was looking at some of her tees on Barney's website but they sold out too quickly.

I really love the Bottega Veneta wallet, caroulemapoule.

Hebden, my iTouch has made such a great difference in my life it's a really great investment purchase. It replaced my calculator, my heavy and huge agenda book and my ipod. My handbags are so much lighter because of it.

 

[caroulemapoule]

Hebden: I really wanted that dress too, but it was sold out in my size. Congrats!

Lollicandy: Thank you!

 

[aris]

Hebden, Love Apple iTouch - I have it - do not drop it - I've broken mine already!

caroulemapoule, Love the BV wallet- how big is it? Zara tops are vey nice! the H&M skirt is perfect!

miumiugirl the philosophy dress is FAB! love that brand!

Here are my scores from Burberry sale - from their site I can't imagine how I forgot that they have a site!

[iLoveCouture]

Thanks rochas - they are extremely comfy!

lolli - the Kleinberg tank is good quality - I cannot stop wearing it! Its very light and airy, almost like a KaiN tank, but the chain detail gives it more pizazz. You can find it at Intermix since Barney's is sold out.
