They are full of contradictions, false promises and late arrivals, just like most men!<br />Their latest jape has been to delay my delivery by a week EACH week, dangling my new blazer in front of my eyes like a donkey's carrot. Before that it was "We don't deliver to business addresses" even though they've delivered EVERYTHING to my business address that I've ever ordered from them up until now.<br />I do love them, but they are definitely a massive frustration!<br /><br />xxx MaddieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-57362999240092401302011-05-04T23:47:17.082+01:002011-05-04T23:47:17.082+01:00Oh bloody hell I hear you girl.

I'm pretty much standard 8/10, how is that logical?! Either way, ignoring the label and looking at the fit, that shirt is so flattering, perfect for spring!

And yes, their sizing is WRONG. I have however discovered their online store makes me less depressed. If you want something in the colour they never have instore (or size for that matter), to see what else they do or what the buyers never think of, because they only seem to buy for people with the urge to *be* fashion itself. <br /><br />Anyway, sorry for the rant.
