Should auld, WISE and AVID acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind, as long as they continue to shop, 2011 will be of the very best kind

New thread

OHIIH, oh my! My mother came home early once to find the cleaner in the bath. Using her Chanel, which annoyed her even more!

Looby, can I be your friend too? :)

Beds - we have ordered this but it won't arrive until end of Feb. I love And So to Bed beds.

ABO, I think you will like the olive J Brands. I wore them loads last summer. Are the Blochs comfortable?

Sophable, great coat and dress.

I don't know what to wear to my brother's wedding and have no money really now because of the missing parcels. I was going to wear Bloss's dress in black with gold sandals but don't really have a bump. I'd better model it later for dh and see what he thinks. My other dresses are all casual.

Bunny, LTEC and Reine, looking forward to meeting you next Tues. I can do whatever time suits you guys.

Looby - can you add me? I need to catch up but I need to see pics

Esher - am loving us as orinoco and tobermory . Lovely bed too!

OWW - how was the warehouse dress?

LTEC - are the green snakeskin shoes different to the gold ones? Or am I going mad?

Bonsoir - so you didn't go to the marni preview?

Roma - meant to say your outfit sounded fab yesterday.

Looby - please may I be your friend too

Ooooooh - very excited about your potential birthday presents - fingers crossed its NAP.

Madam - meant also to say lovely dresses.

Hi Sophable - loving your purchases.

Grotty day here - wore anya barbour and then realised it was chucking it down so shoved on rain hat which is also barbour - looked like an explosion in a barbour factory

carciofi- I've added you. That bed you linked to is exactly the same one my sister has! I really like it :)
She bought her first flat recently and I was sending her loads of links (that was one of them)!
Of course, 'And so to Bed' beds are beautiful and the settings so glamorous!

ABO- I think I forgor to say- like your olive skinnies v much. Can anyone link to the gold blochs which also sound rather nice?

Looby can you add me too please?

Looby, what a beautiful family! Blochs

OOh, those are lovely carciofi- I love sparkly things! Sadly, they are sold out on my size but perhaps that's a good thing....

NY and roma- you are putting us to shame with your outfits!

LTEC- please you enjoying stroking your green and versatile, snakeskin shoes :)
I would love to be able to wear such heels but fear that I would fall over and look like a fool!

tracey no was joke as dexter called them green and lol'ed that I would consider green snakeskin versatile

oh yes looby very with my balding pate. Was meant as comp though, tis a line from Some Kind of wonderful (you have to insert American teen accent)'he is like, excessively easy on the eye ..' said about hottest guy at school. A seminal line, one of my faces!

fritzi and tracey- I added you too.

If anyone has any private photos, could I have a little peek too please?

tracey- was looking at my rather large home magazine stash this am. My favourites are "The English Home' and 'Period Living" for traditional/ vintage type ideas and 'Living etc' which has some gorgeous modern homes if you are looking for inspiration!

LTEC- I am sure no one would notice your tiny patch at all. I did know it was a complement, although didn't know it was from a film- I was just teasing! It's so hard to know when you have never met people- sorry :)

Sparkles have arrived!

And I am.... undecided!

They glitter like billy-o which I quite like . But black. I need a shoe for the day... possibly too black. I shall ponder some more and I have the wrong outfit on, Wang skirt, ecru tights.

Reine I feel very pleased you have a Muji bed too!

Just quickly, carciofi, what about your dkny dress?

Hello everyone...

Off to friends for coffee this morning. DS very tricky on way to school...lots of strops, but all smiles and love and kisses when I left him, thankfully because he is going to a friends after school for a play and clearly sensed that this may be off limits if he didn't amend his behaviour!!! Canny lad.

Bloss...yahhoo...baby walking...uh oh!! DD is still little wobbly, but getting there. I think its such a wonderful milestone! Ooh DD has shoes now...she loves them.

Tracey...we have a teeny television...can't abide large ones...Thanks for positive vibes on house front...

Cake - hope alls well on heakth front. Frustrating when you have to wait...but best to get things sorted...

Carciofi - love that bed too....

Zembo - welcome back!

Have lovely days all....

One of my FAVES!! Not faces

Loobylu - I have an obscene obsession with home and fashion magazines...which I have always had..even at 18 I was buying House and Garden

One of my FAVES!! Not faces

Oh goodness, don't seem to be able to spell- compliment not complement! It is a good line cake.

looby, tell me more about yourself: what's your (natural) hair colour, eye colour. Do you wear gold or silver. Do you suit cream or white best?

looby, you look a bit like the model here no?

Bloss, I thought it might be a bit casual but the shoes might jazz it up a bit.

I just rang the hospital to book a private room for after the delivery as I heard you could go NHS and then pay for a private room. The person I spoke to was very nice and tried not to laugh as she explained it was not a hotel and I could only request a private room on the day!

Ooh, my Pure jacket arrived. It is LUSH!!

I may post photos later. And my pashmina, honestly the service of Mypashmina.co.uk is fantastic.

carciofi, could you 'bling' it up with a necklace too? Or tie a scarf, jauntily round your neck?
The deputy head of the school I was at yesterday looked so stylish. She is a large woman, but boy can she dress well. She had a scarf round her neck. Looked amazing.

Glad you are happy with the jacket, Bloss, it looks lovely. I've bought from MyPashmina before, they are very good.

I will have a trying on session tonight.

It has long arms!!!!!

Hi all
DH back in the good books, has given me some more money and I am going to suggest I pay for Ocado with his card till I go back to work. Love the line about kids not remembering a tidy house. I suspect actually that given kids always do the opposite of their parents that maybe our two will be very tidy! SO I am training them up by being messy.

New cleaner is here, it's our pseudo-housekeeping arrangement where she comes 2x week and does some laundry/ironing/folding too so we'll see how that goes.

Carciofi I reckon you could totally wear that dress to a wedding. Just needs a Statement Necklace and perhaps one of the cardigans or wraps from your growing collection

ABO I like those olive skinnies a lot and also the JCrew cardi you linked to yesteray. But the skinnies looked all sold out to me?

looby can you add me? I have added you.
