I must get the DVDs as have only seen the latter part of this series....

MrsCampbellBlack · 06/05/2011 20:52

Bremont is soooo lovely - DH laughs at how I perk up when he comes on screen Wink

Talking of Royal Wedding - did you see Serena Linley - she looked fab!

OllieWollieWoo · 06/05/2011 20:56

My sister keeps going on about her MrsCB and Lady Sarah Armstrong Jones and how amazing she looked. I've never been able to find a pic!

dolceebanana · 06/05/2011 20:58

Yes, Bremont is rather yummy. And has a good body. Surprised you haven't noticed that notyummy. Pierre is a little, erm, flabby, in contrast.

Serena Linley is v elegant. Thought Lady Helen Taylor also looked nice. And Sophie Rees Jones quietly elegant. Albeit with fascinator.

But those Windsor girls....sheesh.

Not a good look for a wedding, bless [http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/t3J8z3oKhs_/Royal+Wedding+Arrivals/rHju2yMrPVr] Grin

ReineDeSaba · 06/05/2011 21:14

Woah ladies..it's getting a bit racey on here.. Grin

I cannot find the other bits I picked up in the States as both from a surf shop Blush ..if you only knew how unsportiv I am..

but I did buy this

and I love it though picture doesn't look so great..

emo trip sounds amazing..I am drooling at the thought of the Cuban food.I really love the FC dress red came up with.

red I love that choc orange Nigella cake..had forgotten about it..another one for the list of possibilities(wedding lowkey)

every I'm still only a C..and those are somewhere around my navel Confused so hardly an asset!

ReineDeSaba · 06/05/2011 21:17

carciofi lovely way to celebrate 'back to school'

fleecy thanks for the lovely compliment,hope you're feeling well
If anyone wants the secret to said youthful looks..its a big hat and big sunglasses..works every time Grin

ReineDeSaba · 06/05/2011 21:21

by the way mrscb and fritzi another one here with bikini issues..love going away but hate 'the great reveal' and as a short pear one piece is a disaster...

MrsCampbellBlack · 06/05/2011 21:28

Reine - am in London in a few weeks for a day and think will bite the bullet and try on some heidi klein and if they work - I will spend the £££.

Loving the comments about bf for your boob's sake Grin Because bf has done my boobs so much good Hmm

NanAstley · 06/05/2011 21:39

I've just opened a new FB account with my MN name. Anyone wants to find me? The profile is completely empty at the moment (except for the profile pic of Eden Project) but will put up pics of myself over the weekend. How exciting!

redllamayellowllama · 06/05/2011 21:43

Go for it then Reine, a couple of those with grated orange zest on them would look incredibly elegant and not be too much work.

It's really a shame I have made a commitment not to buy any more dresses until AW as that FC one was rather lovely.

I did have a little browse today and bought this stunning when on DP dress and a lovely H&M jersey maxi which I can't find online - an abstract navy blue print all over, simple scoop with racer back. Lovely. But that is it now. I only popped out to get a paddling pool and babygrows from ASDA and was lured in to the outletty place nearby Blush

Have sent you a request!

OllieWollieWoo · 06/05/2011 21:46

Morning all! Thank you all so much. I feel ever so popular!

Had a late one with dh getting in at 10 and needing to unwind and talk things through. Bowling was cancelled as the machines had broken.. Had a laugh in the pub though.
Off to Chester next for hair and eyebrows.

Next month it's the Races for the group. Clothing dilemma as we're going to the open field bit so not posh. Half of them will be in maxis.

Hope you all have a lovely day.

Morning Bloss - great FB pic btw. The Kew scarf really suits you. Have fun in Chester.
Emo - Miami baby! How lovely. Agree that dresses are the way to go - do you have a maxi and embellished sandals? Or some white jeans you can add some brighter tops to? Your new CC blue jeans would also be worth taking? Like Reds butterfly dress too - that would be a good holiday dress too?
Have a good Saturday everyone.

rufus101 · 07/05/2011 10:21

Hi all. Off to a christening later. Think I will wear DVF. My failsafe option. I loved your personal shopping day NY. Those outfits were great.
I have Facebook requested you Bloss. Initials are RG. Got my hair cut and coloured yesterday. Don't like it. My own fault. It's exactly what I asked for and I allowed myself to be persuaded into a sideways fringe again. I always think "It will be different this time'. It's not. Anyway only 6 weeks till I colour it again. I'm just cross with myself as it cost 140 euro for the colour, highlights and cut. When will I learn?

blossoming · 07/05/2011 10:27

Ladies, fanfare please... I have popped my maxi cherry. this one from phase eight. I'm sure someone has it.
I'm now in the grosvenor awaiting brunch. Bliss.

That's bad about your hair rufus, but some wise lady told me that nothing bad happens in dvf! Enjoy!

Bravo Bloss, bravo!

notyummy · 07/05/2011 10:58

Well done Bloss!

I have just done L2 of 6W6P with 3 kg weights and would like to announce it is hard-,but time passes quickly!

Hi Rufus- have requested you on fb. Initials are MBL.
