+1 to this.God I am so sick of shops with their vanity sizing. Was at topshop yesterday and the dresses in the "love" range (some of which are very nice) are swimming off me in the s/m size! I'm not that small...what about very skinny people! And there were a dress in the topshop own brand range that I liked which was way too big in an 8. Are clothes just getting bigger everywhere?!
In London a few weeks ago I tried on [URL=http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=2109870&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208523&parent_categoryId=203984&sort_field=Relevance&pageSize=20&refinements=Colour{1}~[grey]&noOfRefinements=]this[/URL]and looked two sizes too big on me!
It's difficult to find nice knitwear as it is then when I finally find something, it's too big!:(0 -

And everyone got rid of their size six! An 8 is like a 10 in most places now, I can never buy anything and the 8s were too big on me to begin with. 0 -

There were a few vintage shops on Rosenthal Strasse and in that area. The Mauerpark flea market is brilliant, loads of clothes, antiques, furniture, food and drink.
The Humana second hand store is huge! And really cheap. I got a camel blazer for €6. http://www.humana-second-hand.de/shops.html
Garage sells clothes by the kilo http://www.spottedbylocals.com/berlin/garage-second-hand/
The Lonely Planet guide to Berlin is excellent.
Fantastic city

It's just Sundays as far as I remember
The Hamburger Bahnhof is an amazing gallery. It's MASSIVE! Modern and Contemporary, when I was there they had some Fluxus stuff. Loads of installations and the likes. Closed on Mondays of course, but I definitely recommend it.
Edit: Have a curry wurst for me. Best fast food going.0 -

The shop is great! I got my BF at the time a little wind up robot. He loved it!
If you're looking for regular shops, there's H&M and Zara and similar in the Alexa centre at Alexanderplatz.
There's also a MAC Pro store if you're cosmetically inclined at 36 Rosenthalerstrasse
Found the staff really good in there. 0 -

I don't want to start a new thread for this, cuz I suspect there are already about 100 similiar ones.
Where is somewhere good to get my eyebrows shaped? The new updated reallyrose needs new eyebrows.
I highly recommend getting them threaded in Mandala Spa, Dawson St. There's one girl who does it, she's fantastic! But she does them quite thin, so if that's not what you're after get them waxed instead.
I love that place though; I'm fairly sure they do a student discount too. They're not open on Mondays but I've never had a problem getting an appt for the next day or so.0 -

I don't really know what I want. I always end up flail vaguely at my face and shruging.
Last time I got them waxed, and the girl almost waxed my brow bone off. I had huge unsightly dry flakey skin all over my brow line for a week or two and patches of raw skin.
I'm going for a weekend away with my boyfriend this weekend, so I'd rather not look like I have leprosy.

I'm usually just in jeans for day to day, but tonight I'm getting fancy. The work for the last two months getting the launch and venue ready is paying off with champagne and yummy nibbles Our "office" is just the bar/venue during the day, it's cold in there too so lots of layers! 0 -

At least theres something glam to look forward to at the end of it! Outfit sounds lovely. I think the last 'night out' here was a cinema trip to watch an archive film on the making of carpets in the old company :rolleyes: I didn't make it...0 -

Yea! Getting your brows professionally done makes such a difference! I usually get mine done at Estee Lauder in BT. It's €20, but that's redeeemable against products. I usually get something I'd need anyway, like mascara or eyeliner, so effectively it's freereallyrose wrote: »I went to the Benefit bar in Arnotts in the end.

I think so, yes. It'd be a lovely dress for a night out but imo, it's a bit too much skin to be showing early in the day!Stench Blossoms wrote: »So I'm actually going to buy this dress.

I would love to dress up a bit in work sometimes, but it's good I can dress casual (runner and a tshirt when in the schools, a little smarter when meeting grown ups)... bad side is when i have to wear the long skirts and cover elbows/collarbones when in religious parts but that's not often)
My work and out of work clothes tho are kinda the same 0 -

I agree the dresses are great, Also I think I could get away with a tailored shirt and short skirt with boots but I hate wearing suits as an intern I've been trying to stay on the safe side by sticking with suits thinking of changing it up next week!
I'd be wary of going too short as an intern but otherwise should be fine - you'll find when you have a good reputation in your job, you can get away with a little more in terms of your clothes (and sass!) because the quality of your work speaks for itself With a bit more cash as well you can get quirky suits that you'll like better - I have a particular love for dress suits, got a fab one with pleated sleeves in Jesire in the sale. Still a suit but not as 'ugh, boring suit' 0 -

Yeah, I think I'll keep them maintained now. I guess I can start doing more interesting things with my eye makeup now!
If only I had eyelashes...I've been clearing out my wardrobe. How the hell have I come to own four saris?
Are you sari you bought so many? *flees*
I got a whole outfit in Dunnes for 35 euro today. Dress shoes and belt.
Navy and red go together, right?0 -

Sadly I can't say it was dissapointing in sofar as it was exactly what I was expecting.
Once you get past the 'Men are satorial idiots and can't make us wimmins happy in any way shape or form' retoric the main jist of the suggestions is to dress like a child in Tommy Hilfigger clothes.
There were one or two nice pieces mentioned but they have been around forever - Church shoes, RayBan wayfarers.
It's so disheartening to see a recomendation to "Wear a suit". A bit more detail of what suit, cut, material, might not go amiss. It's the equivilant of an article recomending that women wear a dress, without telling you any of the basic information like mini, maxi, A-shapes, lightwight summer, ballgown or whatever.
As for the layout of what you should be wearing when you are in your 20'2, 30's or 40's. ****ing hell! It's like looking at the Littlewoods childrens catalogue.
I'm going to look at "The Satorialist" just to reafirm that there is a modicum of taste out there somewhere.I'm older than Minecraft goats.
