ok, so i have the dress, the hat and the shoes...

[Tutter]

... but i need a bag, and the wedding is on saturday!!! so - i need to find either (a) a website that delivers super-fast or (b) a shop with a branch in richmond.

the dress is \link{http://collection.hobbs.co.uk/Main/index.cfm?page=1009&element=1196&parent=1008&numdisplay=0\here} and the shoes are like \link{http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LK-BENNETT-PINK-BOW-COURT-SHOES-UNWORN-SZ-7-40_W0QQitemZ7771030666QQcategoryZ53567QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem\these} only in black suede (the lk bennett site is shite and has no pics). hat is big and ivory with a huge caramel/ivory splodgey flower.

so - am trying to find a smallish black suede bag - not clutch (need a strap otherwise it'll be lost within seconds of me downing my first glass of champagne).

god i really hope no MNers are at the wedding - you'll be able to spot me from a mile off...

[desperatehousewife]

may i just say what a gorg dress that is...and the shoes are lush too.

Isn't there a dept store in richmond? What about LK bennett - they normally do nice little bags? Or borrow one?

[compo]

or you could try Monsoon/Accessorize

[Esmummy]

Have you got an accessorize ?

[Tutter]

it's a clutch compo - no good for me - have lost bags that way in the past...

but yes, there's a monsoon and an accessorize in richmond - haven't tried them yet...

lk bennett have a huuuge suede one to match the shoes but (a) it's £100 and (b) you could fit arugby player in it - i only need it for powder, lippy and phone.

Tutter I think I have a vintage (1950's) suede handbag somewhere but is has a short handle not a long one. Big gilt starburst on front and hard gilt handle. You can borrow it if you want to but I'm leaving tomorrow morning at 10am for the weekend - so it's tonight or early tomorrow only!

love that dress

try trievr island for bags fo a ccessorixe or tk max

[tenalady]

my dh would have a heart attack if i spent money like that on a dress. Its is gorgeous though

[Tutter]

006 - you're right - about sunnies, that is - going to be hot on saturday i think. but other crap can go in ds's change bag -to be carried by dh, of course.

suej - well, if you're sure i'd be a fool to refus. i'm off out tomorrow morning at 9ish so could pop to you then? how do i get your address? i've never CATed before...

[Tutter]

or refuse, even

[Tutter]

tenalady, i thought £160 wasn't too bad i am going to 3 weddings this year though, so does that make it better?

[suejonez]

It's worth borrowing even if you decide not to use it. Email me suejonez @ aol.com (without the spaces obviously) I'm close to M&S - I'm sure you'll know it . i'm also in this evening if you want to pop around. I'll dig it out in a min.

[Tutter]

sue - i think we may live closer to each other than you think - i'm about 30 seconds from m&s!

will email you now...

[Tutter]

(god, you're not my neighbour are you - i've complained about them on here before )

[suejonez]

Oh god you're not that awful woman who complained about me are you (SJ horrified at lending her bag to Moaning Minnie...)

[Tutter]

oh god you are that awful woman whose teenage son slams doors at 3:45am

[suejonez]

Ee's a nice lad, really ee is. Just misunderstood.

[suejonez]

have just found bag - safely wrapped up. you can borrow it if you promise not to shop my lad to the cops.

[Tutter]

grand.

i promise. won't throw up in it either.

[suejonez]

It actually has a matching broach and earrings but you might find them a little ....er.... sparkly

[suejonez]

So... how was the posh wedding?
