Hi everyone. Hope everyone has safe journeys.

Lovely to hear from you zembo. How are you feeling these days? I am very excited about afternoon tea too. I've never had one out before. Come to the next one?

AntPants1 · 08/10/2011 09:27

Safe journeys to everyone. Have no idea what I am wearing!!! Help me!!! Still very excited about meeting everyone.

zembo lovely to hear from you. X

redllamayellowllama · 08/10/2011 09:29

Nice to 'see' you Zembo, hope you're well.

Settled onto train for nice relaxing journey amongst 15 Bristolians on a stag do Hmm.

Sending you warming and relaxing vibes Ollie.

Hi Zembo, was wondering where you were. Hope you are coping well being at home. When will you be heading to Glasgow yourself?
Have a great time at the MU guys. I envy you all. DH here in a real grump.
Aigle coat sounds marvellous Bloss. I have been reading the waterproof coat thread and think that is what I need. Waterproof and warm.
Bought this Sandro top the other day. DH was underwhelmed, but I LOVE it. At these times, I have to say, you just don't understand fashion.
Also tried this darling dress on I love it, but my sister who was with me put me off, saying the top was odd. I may just go back and get it though. It really is the most gorgeous grey and blue. Would suit you very well Bloss
Do you think I should buy this dress because it's called after me?!
Another purchase were these shoes They seem to go with everything.
I really am flirting with getting these Ash biker boots A friend had a similar pair by Ash a few years ago, and I loved them. Would I get away with them do you think? Are biker boots over? Are they ever over?
Anyway have a fabulous day you gals. Really envy you.

Which aigle coat is everyone so excited about?! I am in the market for a "waterproof bum covering coat".

Olly not a great start but remember that there's a cream tea waiting for you which is bound to lift spirits. Can't wait to see you!

wave to zembo hope you're doing well

petitdonkey · 08/10/2011 13:11

Have an amazing day ladies - cheers Wine

VerityBrulee · 08/10/2011 15:44

Hope you are all having a lovely time, and Ollie hope your day has improved enormously since this morning Smile

Hi everyone. On the train home leaving the other lovely ladies to a night of debauchery! Had a lovely time. Great venue, great tea (thanks ollie for organizing). There were some fabulous coloured opaques on show, amazing footwear and style and beauty by the bucket load. Very privileged to have such gorgeous witty friends.

AmberNectarine · 08/10/2011 18:51

On the off chance any of the meet up ladies are checking the thread (doubtful) tonight I am not going to make it I'm afraid. The baby had her shots on Thursday and is not herself so don't feel I can leave DH to cope alone. Very disappointed but hopefully we can arrange a mini MU soon! Hope you're all having a wonderful time!

On the train on the way home too. Had a fantastic time, lovely venue, all down to ollie. Fabulous outfits, and lots of good conversation. It was lovely to put faces to the names of people that have become such lovely friends!

Looking forward to hearing about the rest of the evening.

redllamayellowllama · 08/10/2011 20:09

Lovely afternoon in such stylish and sparkling company - thank you ollie and thank you everyone else for being so wonderful. Shame not to have been with you for longer. Enjoy the rest of the evening!

moragbellingham · 08/10/2011 20:16

I know everyone likes Corolle dolls here - I think.
Just thought I'd share - Having bought the balleinas last year and then placing them on a high shelf after much trashing, I decided to get the Vanilla dolls this year. They are a very good price at ELC and then an extra 20% off with a code from the promo board.
Happy Xmas

ApuskiDusky · 08/10/2011 20:28

So glad it went well, though having met some of you before, I knew it was always going to be lovely! Wish I had been there, especially as ds1 has been a horror today, repeatedly making his brother cry and being utterly blasé about being told off. Grrr..

DH is doing OK, thanks, feeling a bit better after a few chats with his mum - and probably going to see his mate tomorrow.

Look forward to hearing more titbits!

blossoming · 08/10/2011 21:59

wan, did you get to JL?

AntPants1 · 08/10/2011 22:03

Just got back. Really lovely afternoon/ evening with wise and avid ladies. Was very strange having to learn everyone's real names after using screen names for so long.... Some really wonderful outfits. Am particularly envious of NY's bag and pickled's dress and fritzi's fillet. bloss is absolutely right. Some great tights. Definitely need to be more adventurous there......A special thank you to Ollie for organising. Am looking forward to a Christmas meet up!?......

blossoming · 08/10/2011 22:31

Lol at fritzi's fillet!

AntPants1 · 08/10/2011 22:43

Yep was a lovely fillet!!!!

I'm assuming it was her lovely fluffy gilet njc!

wideawakenurse · 08/10/2011 22:56

No, Fritzi had a version of the Lady GaGa meat dress on notjust!

Yes I did Bloss.

I loved it!

Emo76 · 09/10/2011 07:30

Brilliant meet up! Was great to see everyone, it had it all - drama, mystery, intrigue, champagne and FIRE!

The Emo style prize goes to WAN and Icecreamcastles for their gorgeous maternity looks, but everyone looked great and most importantly were lovely on the inside too Smile

apuski amber and others - you were missed.

AmberNectarine · 09/10/2011 07:31

Oh can we have an outfit breakdown for non attendees so we can attend vicariously?
