Wow I'm impressed Polyhymnia. Must be really interesting.

OllieinOrange · 07/10/2011 18:45

Bloss thats so good to hear - they tried to deliver my Aigle to my sister today but she was out (and is now moaning a tiny bit about getting it from the depot etc oops). Whats the length like? Ive now seen a pic on a model and i was worried it was above the knee. Is it toasty? Tell me more! (or wait til tomorrow - you choose!)

polyhymnia · 07/10/2011 18:45

Yup, it is - though does have to be broken up by some visits to MN S and B from time to time ....

AmberNectarine · 07/10/2011 18:59

Right have asked the powers that be to change the thread title so I don't feel such a dimwit!

Yes we're a clever lot on here!

ollie, where do I start. It is so flattering it is untrue. The length is knee length, the sleeves are long. It is toasty beyond, without being bulky. Colour is amazing... Could not be happier. Oh, and plenty of room, not enough to size down to a 10, but definitely no need to size up. When will you get yours? Mine arrived in a big box! Would be costly to send over I'd imagine.

carciofi · 07/10/2011 19:11

I am sorry I didn't stick with the Aigle now. Oh well, too late.

Poly, that sounds really interesting.

Emo, gorgeous dress.

I am in pajamas already, DH was working until 3am this morning so no point in waiting up tonight!

Enjoy the meetup and have a Wine for me.

notyummy · 07/10/2011 19:17

MU outfit chosen!

Not what I thought I would end up with at all, but think it covers the day to night vibe nicely.

redllamayellowllama · 07/10/2011 19:24

Bloss it sounds amazing. Am very jealous at the mere sound of it. Thank goodness it isn't going to be horrifically cold tomorrow as I may have keeled over.

PORTIA4 · 07/10/2011 20:11

Coat sounds fab Bloss.
With the assistance of DD3, I have my outfit sorted for tomorrow,up to today I was planning on wearing a dress but now am wearing my Agnes as it is bound to be chilly when I leave in the morning.
DH out for the evening, so I too am also in PJS! just about to have Wine

blossoming · 07/10/2011 20:31

I have made the same decision as you portia and leaving davina at home. Have made my mind up now and will not change it again!

PORTIA4 · 07/10/2011 20:46

Bloss may I be so bold as to ask what shoes are you wearing?

blossoming · 07/10/2011 21:16

I'll have flats on for running around, but high heels in my handbag portia!!

CHOOGIRL · 07/10/2011 21:35

Hi Ladies. Just popping in to wish you a fabulous meet-up. Looking forward to reading the post meet-up outfit report.

FritziGreenEyes · 07/10/2011 21:41

Bag packed, passport ready, cup of tea, then bed. See you all tomorrow!

blossoming · 07/10/2011 21:46

Thanks choo!
Look forward to it fritzi!

ApuskiDusky · 07/10/2011 21:54

Evening all! Have a fabulous time and eat lots of cake! And report back on the outfits please!

IceCreamCastles · 07/10/2011 21:58

Yes, the swimming part would be lovely- it's the associated baring of flesh that's giving me the heebie jeebies! Have packed costume nevertheless incase the mood takes me Grin

Concerned about the day to night potential of my dress. Hope I can hold my own amongst the tres stylish agnes wearers. Intrigued by your final choice NY.

MarshaBrady · 07/10/2011 22:08

Hmm I am yet to decide. I hope for a flash of last minute inspiration. Or the mood-enhancing glass of champagne which will make me not mind. Either way Grin.

Safe and happy travels to those with such early starts!

redllamayellowllama · 07/10/2011 22:14

All ready to go here, although feeling strangely nervous, what with this being my first MU and all.

Delighted to hear that the agnes' will be out in force, yet to see them irl.

Wishing safe journeys to all, see you tomorow.

At the airport. Wearing black Agnes, grey VB top (+ cami as it is sooo cold), trench and Bloch flats. Will change into meet up outfit later. Have safe journeys everyone!!!

OllieinOrange · 08/10/2011 07:09

I could cry. Left house early this am in torrential downpour, got drenched waiting for tram. Ballet pumps are soaked, feet freezing, hair limp and jeans are wet and heavy! Am not happy with coat either - had to go with blue jacket that is ok for travel, shopping and outfits ie not my favourite for any of them but multi purpose.
Sure i will perk up once i get to starbucks for a hot chocolate but at the moment feel in a right old grump!

Hello ladies, it's been a while :)

Hope you're all well, I'm hopelessly out of touch so won't attempt any personal messages. Have read enough to realise I'm missing a lovely meet up though - meet up ladies wishing you a fabulous time! Really wish I could have joined you, afternoon tea is totally up my street, however, with DH now working away in Glasgow, babysitting is a bit tricky!

notyummy · 08/10/2011 07:54

Oh Ollie- hope you are feeling better!

So great to hear from you Zembo! I was wondering how you were.

Safe journeys all.
