NAP is crashing again and again. Hope that it has nothing to do with the virus detection thingy DH installed over the weekend. If it does, there will be words tonight!

mrsjuan · 20/06/2011 14:17

Hope it sorts itself out for you soon Fritzi.
I have this bag in my shopping bag - any thoughts?

notyummy · 20/06/2011 14:20

That bag is great MrsJ- sort of thing that you could get loads of use from.

FritziGreenEyes · 20/06/2011 14:22

mrsj Great bag, go for it! I am still dithering over cardis and tops and dresses and guess everything will sell out while I cannot decide...

redllamayellowllama · 20/06/2011 14:24

Lovely bag MrsJ. Do it.

Fritzi I'm also dithering over cardigans. And a Crumpet black cashmere dress - will I wear it loads or won't I? Does black actually drain me rather terribly? Etc etc.

What do you think about this dress? Could work into A/W.

mrsjuan · 20/06/2011 14:33

Gulp. I've done it! And a checked J crew shirt just because it was cheap Blush

OllieinOrange · 20/06/2011 14:46

Ooooh NAP porn! Love it. Had v quick look this morning - some lovely DK dresses on there but still exxy!
MrsJuan - bag, like, buy!
Fritzi dress, like the colour and front v much - not sure if it would be too swishy at the back - thats just me tho.

High sigh of relief here - just had the class list for next year for DS2 and they have kept all of his group of friends together for Group 3. He was starting to fret!

Ladies, I have scratched my sequin itch - with an ebay bargain (well hopefully) here - straps look a bit long but worth a punt I thought! Thought it would look ok with my white jeans/city shorts/skirt (and a tan) on hols?

Ants loved the second Reiss top too - am pondering! Wish I could try on in RL!

FritziGreenEyes · 20/06/2011 14:47

OK, I'm no longer a NAP virgin Grin.

I have just ordered:

KAIN LUCIA STRIPED MODAL-BLEND TANK

Black JBrand Agnes

Mulberry tiger-print scarf

[[http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/111865 VINCE

KNITTED V-BACK SWEATER in navy]]

[[http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/112107 JAMES PERSE

RUCHED COTTON-JERSEY TANK]]

And breathe...

mrsjuan · 20/06/2011 14:54

Wow fritzi - that's some haul!

FritziGreenEyes · 20/06/2011 14:55

ollie Thought the same about the back of the dress. Description also said that it is "semi-transparent" Hmm. Like your ebay-top. Will look great with a tan. Glad to hear that DS2 will stay with his buddies for next school year.

mrsj Hope you'll love your new bag!

red If you are not sure about black then I wouldn't go for the dress. Would dark grey or navy work better?

bloss Is your interview today? Fingers crossed!

roary Sorry, not sure about the dress, but I'm not good with florals.

OllieinOrange · 20/06/2011 14:55

NAP cherry well and truley popped Fritzi, congratulations! The scarf is especially wonderful - such fab colours. Can really see you in the sweater and tanks too. Bet you have a little NAP glow to you now and rightly so!

FritziGreenEyes · 20/06/2011 14:56

mrsj I know, but I can give you at least one reason why I "need" each piece or how it will fill a gap in my wardrobe Blush.

notyummy · 20/06/2011 14:59

I am staying away from the NAP sale but these links are v tempting!! Like the bargain sequins too Ollie. Fritzi - Agnes and lovely jumper both look like you could wear lots. Great haul.

FritziGreenEyes · 20/06/2011 15:04

I have a real post-NAP glow. And there is more on my wishlist:

DVF dress if I worked in an office

Antik Batik kaftan for holiday in truly sunny climate

Sequin dress, but I already have one

VWA Dione dress

And finally I love this Burberry biker jacket. The leather looks so soft and lush.

mrsjuan · 20/06/2011 15:04

No need to justify anything Fritzi - Grin They are all fab - enjoy.

mrsjuan · 20/06/2011 15:20

Ooh - my bag's sold out now! Glad I didn't do my usual dithering.

OllieinOrange · 20/06/2011 15:28

katy1katy - just seen your bird print dress on your blog - its gorgeous. For fellow bird print lovers, its this one Am v tempted but red really not one of my colours but....

FritziGreenEyes · 20/06/2011 15:28

And here is WIT's wedding dress

FritziGreenEyes · 20/06/2011 15:30

katy1katy has a blog, link please?

OllieinOrange · 20/06/2011 15:35

Oh she looks lovely - really love her dress. And her hair. (Glad to see she didnt go with a breton stripe wedding dress!)

mrsjuan · 20/06/2011 15:35

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. My payment didn't go through! In my excitement I put my old card details in. Oh bugger bugger bugger. I could cry!

redllamayellowllama · 20/06/2011 15:36

Amazing haul Fritzi. In fact, I was so impressed with the VINCE jumper, I may have got one too {blush}. Navy much more me, so skipped the Crumpet dress. Also, the occasions I actually wear dresses are few and far between.

Well done on the bag MrsJ.

WIT looks lovely, thanks for linking Fritzi. FWIW, that's where we got married too!

OllieinOrange · 20/06/2011 15:39

Ah Mrs Juan - nightmare. I feel your pain. Ring them up?
