Random thoughts:

Every time you see a model on h.com with her hand at the back of her dress, shirt or top. You know she's holding it to make the silhouette look more fitted. I wish H wouldn't do this. The point of having models show the items online is to see how the actual garment is cut and will look on the human body.

I must say I like the new(?) kimono beach 'dresses' although these are very beach.

The "Tatersales" short beach windbreaker would be great for Summer, beach, mountain or street, but no way am I wearing 100% polyamide on a warm summer's day, why couldn't they make it in cotton?
I tried the Tatersales windbreaker this weekend, the bright yellow color was fantastic but the sleeves are RIDICULOUSLY puffy. They looked completely unproportional on me so I didn't get it. And as you said, it's way too synthetic - more like a raincoat than anything you would want to wear in warm weather.

I also so glad you posted this because I was about to ask my SA about it , I knew she would have to transfer it for me to try it on.
Everything you described about that windbreaker would drive me nuts.
Much appreciated!
 
Has anyone seen this dress in US boutique? My home store didn’t order.View attachment 5327551
I think I tried a size 40 on at FSH. It ran large and somewhat loose (And I have a thickish mid section for my size). I’m 5’2” and neither the SA nor DH liked it on me. DH said the print overwhelmed. IMO I much prefer the dior techo short hoodie dresses (they also run large and I take. Size 38). Also gathered at the waist, but more flattering, but YMMV. I did not ask the price or get the style code.

this new pattern they have for the SS2022 is very busy and overwhelming as you said, I was disappointed as well.
Your bag is so nice, the colour is stunning :)

@Winiebean, I like the cream dress on you. I bought the black one - the only color in the store. It was very soft and comfortable.
@880, maybe you size down to 38 so look more fitted? I like the flowers pattern but never had a chance to see it or try on - none in the store. Did you try any other colors? I saw there are 3 colors available on UK site.

You'd have to be 8' tall and slimmer than Twiggy to look good in that pattern
 
I am not a good photographer at all but I picked up two more pieces. The first is a cashmere coat with medor detailing. I took a second picture to show the leather detailing as you would never know this piece would have it by looking at it on the website.

I also picked up another twillaine cardigan. But this one is quite different from what I have seen in that the sleeves are cut shorter. It was described to me as sleeveless, but it personally fits on me like a short sleeve. It is really unique and a great layering piece that I will be able to use almost year round I think since I am in a warmer climate.

Can you let me know how is the sizing for the cashmere coat, my SA said she will order foe me, but I am not sure of the sizing, is it true to size. thanks in advance…

FSH SA only brought me dark neutrals as per my request. I think I needed a 40 for the shoulders
@lvmon, I have the medor cashmere coat in a size 40 in navy. Agree with @corgimom11 that it is true to size
