I can't wait until they arrive. I love the schoolboy jacket too, but I have things in similar colors in the same weight so unless I was willing to give something up (not) I had to pass.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-77468504216526060162011-01-26T15:51:35.005-05:002011-01-26T15:51:35.005-05:00There were a couple of things I meant to buy befor...There were a couple of things I meant to buy before the sales, and then I meant to buy them during the sales, and now they are gone.

The quality is excellent but I did save a little of my warm-wear budget to purchase something from EB. Perhaps one of the polo styles or a cardigan - it's hard to decide as they are so relentlessly cool in silhouette.HBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-78470177428225786342011-01-25T17:51:39.714-05:002011-01-25T17:51:39.714-05:00frugal: Their mail order service is excellent and ...frugal: Their mail order service is excellent and you do not pay VAT (but might incur duties.)
