Sorry to hear about your dd dolcee. Hope things improve soon.
Glad to hear your family were better behaved this time ollie.

I wonder what an avid and wise Christmas party would be like. Where would we have it? What would you wear? (Complete fantasy obviously!)

Thanks lovelies for all your birthday wishes! Wow, I'm impressed carciofi Wink.

Rainy day here today and have just thrown on blue jersey JB dress with opaques, Belstaffs and knitted navy coat/cardi this morning. Will get changed later for dinner. Maybe I'll take Janice out. Got A. Monroe peacock earrings, flowers, Clarins shower mousse from DH and lovely picture by DD. Had cake for breakfast and lunch ahem... Looking forward to some champagne tonight Grin. Greedy me?

Stamp - thanks Bloss.

Obviously, to the A and W imaginary Christmas party I would be wearing a Maxi Grin A blinged up maxi of some sort. With wedges perhaps.

dolcee Hope baby will recover quickly! Hope DH is back soon and you can look after yourself too.

cake Love the outfit. Just noticed now it is colder that I totally lack a decent coat to wear with dresses. I have a camel MaxMara coat from many years ago and while it was very expensive and is still nice the fit is somehow wrong. Looks too big and esp. baggy round the shoulders. Has anyone ever had a coat altered? Is it worth it?

Here are my new earrings. I have the silver ones.

Stamps with new boots just like cake's Remember back at the beginning of the last thread they were out of stock. They came back in. Hopefully they will arrive chez Choo tomorrow.

Also loving my M&S boots.

Sorry have been awol - combination of work, mini choo's birthday celebrations and general going out.

Happy birthday Frizl.

MM I have the Northface Hayden Can't do Puffa as it makes me look huge.

Agree Phase 8 is definitely having a good AW. Not sure I'm right shape for Janice - those of you who have seen me at the meet-up what do you think?

EIE Hope your session went well on Monday and that you are feeling brighter.

OWW I used to work in Houten and will be coming over next July to see Take That. Are you going on 18th July?

A&W Xmas Party I would wear Choos or Louboutin of course Smile

At an A&W Christmas party I'd wear fancy harems and a sequinned bling tastic animal print top.

Now that Bloss is the dress you should have got for your 40th Grin

Hey Choo! I think the Janice would look fab on you particularly the stripey one.

Am just doing my christmas list for DH - its funny how you think there is nothing you want and then 10 things later Blush

Happy birthday fritzi Smile The earrings are beautiful; did you choose them yourself or does somebody have fab taste?!

bloss the dress for yor DD is adorable. And the HH red is fab too!

Think I would have to Anglomania for a christmas bash; she doesn't get out much!

mm I have a Tommy Hilfiger down-filled puffa which is very warm and suitably bum-covering. Think mine must be last year's as I can't find it online and I got it at an outlet shop. This year they seem to have put a waist and the pockets are different. For torrential rain I wrap up warm under this Ilse Jacobsen which reminds me of verity every time I wear it Smile

Envious of your J Crew haul roary - looking forward to hearing how it is! The outlet trip was very rushed, and I'm sure I missed masses because of that. But we'd left DS3 with my parents to go aligator-spotting and I persuaded DH to let me stop off on the way home. felt most of the time feeling guilty, but pleased with purchases!

Thanks for suggestion for camel polo vin - think the problem is that it meeds something smart-sish and most of my bottoms are more casual Confused

If anybody else is indending to get the addictaball they had their own brand ones which looked identical, even down to the colours, at 3 for £10.

DS3 just woken up; bugger had hoped to get floors mopped before he emerged. I expect he'll want to help...

I'll be wearing this dress to the W&A party. Can we have it soon so it will still fit?!

MM, I haven't needed to wash DD's coat yet, but I will machine wash it when I do.

What is on your list, Tracey?

Lovely earrings, Fritzi. If you can't have cake for breakfast on your birthday, when can you?

traceybath · 10/11/2010 14:17

Carciofi, Alex Monroe baby bee necklace, an anya clutch gag and mulberry purse, diptyque candle - obviously won't get all of those but hopefully DH will select something nice.

Fritzi - love the ear-rings!
