    Luckily, Crufts is rather more of an "event" than the Open show I'm going to, in a sports hall on the outskirts of Bristol ;)

    Will she have started shedding by then? Argh, who knows! But I have to contrast with her!

    Why are all flat black shoes that aren't trainers so bloomin' ugly?!

    I'll lend you one! Not that she's fit for showing, but she has a lovely double coat which she's very happy to share!

    You would look lovely in a pair of nice rich olive or chestnut moleskin trousers, tucked into a pair of durberrys or the like. A nice plain gamekeepers light wool gilet, matched with a cream long sleeved TShirt. Nice rich autumnal textures and colours to compliment Luna's lovely, shiny chestnut coat. Sorted! :)

    OMG, that sounds amazing!

    It also sounds expensive... hehe.

    I've been looking at Dubarrys for a while and I keep thinking "nah, I can't justify it". Maybe this will be the gentle nudge I (really don't) need ;)

    I have a lovely pair of Kanyon K dry boots, very comfy and not too expensive. I bought mine for around the £100 mark :). My fake moleskin jeans I bought from Sainsburys, in a lovely khaki, for I think £16? My gamekeeper gilet was from Crufts for £80, it's gorgeous with a lovely burnt orange contrasting lining :)

    My sister has two pairs of Dubarrys (one black, one brown), so I'm going to borrow them for the show and see how I like them :D

    You should take up dog show styling for the humans. So much better than the "mother of the bride" tailored suit with flats. :D

    Dubarry boots, moleskin trousers, Schoeffel gilet and Joules shirt are my daily uniform. I'm sure the outfit would be fine at any dog show in the gundog class. :)

    I think the "mother of the bride look" is so totally hilarious :cwl:

    Kate has much better taste. Please do ensure you pay homage to the lambies though.

    The matching earrings might be a step too far, though?
