New one!

Starters= starers

Live is= love is.

Portia that is amazing! So lucky. Which colour and type is it?

Bloss there is a mini mu on 17th Dec, Saturday. Your short dress and biker outfit would be perfect for it.

Aw NY my dh suffers also from love blindness. Better than the other way I'm sure. Although I'm sure your dh was right.

This is the bag, I don't think that I'd pay that for it, but who am I to complain.
That Wendy website is so addictive, I really like her style and any time I see her wearing something I own, it prompts me to look for another 10 minutes and makes me feel smug!

Nice one, Portia! I have a black Botker Trigger bag which is still my favourite bag ever and is quite similar.

There are quite a few coloured J Brands in the Harrods 30% off sale.

Ok, I now want a Balenciaga handbag, electric blue JBrands and Stuart Weitzman 5050s . Dream on...

Is carciofi designing for balenciaga?

I kove the bag Portia! Now, that is something worth winning in a raffle....

Our new BFF in bouclé jacket

I was thinking today how I love my J Brand 912s in black, and how they really are the best jeans for me ever, so I went onto shopbop and bought a new pair. I love that 'pure' colour. It really is a pure indigo. The 910s are fine tucked into boots, but I do find the short length weird (I know I'm alone here!)
Then because Jigsaw have 10% off I bought pickled's asymmetric top here. I love that neckline. Was in tweed Davina today. Gorgeous. Yes, must stop spending. (Although 912s are £200 on NAP).

Gosh - another hour spent watching Wendy.

I think for me her biggest charm is that she's short - so nice to see someone looking fab who isn't at least 5ft10.

Talking of jeans - mih oslo's are my current faves - soooo flattering.

Loving the fur gilets Blue and Amber.

Portia - oh well done on raffle prize!

Carciofi - those timberland boots can be found for cheaper in dark brown on amazon . . .

Wow Portia which raffles are you entering?! The third-rate Cava on offer at the School Fete raffle is clearly not going to cut it any longer. Gorgeous bag.

Sounds like they were a wise buy Bloss - you're building up an excellent, classic capsule wardrobe there.

Good to hear you had a lovely time Blue. My in-laws always like to tell me how slim I look, which I always interpret as 'so I looked fat last time?' I think people are just trying to be nice and compliment you on things that they think you perceive to be of value, if that makes any sense at all.

Glancing on the 17th eh, Marsha? Who are our other takers and have we any suggestions for venue of said dancing?

Oh Oh Oh, . I saw a navy boucle jacket last week (short style, no collar, round necked)- in H&M so not in the same leagueas BFF Wendy's but may be worth a try on for a cheap fix? Can't see it on their website but their sale seems to have started and they have lots of new spring stuff including these bright skinnies here

Back from celebrating Sinterklaas with DH's family. Was finally able to open my Kindle (brought it back in October) and love it! Also got 2 lots of vouchers which is a big improvment on last years magazines and teatowels (think DH may have nudged them!). DSs were very sweet - their Cars2 dvd got a bigger reaction than their new Wii console!

*Carciofi - adorable photo, thanks for posting. Both v cute!

Eeek, that's way too pink, even for me! Nice jeans and top, Bloss. I'd like the top in violet, lovely shape. Would your black DVF dress work with the leather jacket for the governors dinner?

I just snuck into my room to get something and heard a giggle, DD2 was wide awake and staring at me. She really made me jump.

Thanks for the tip MrsCB, it is the wine-red colour that I love so if you could find those on sale, I'd be most grateful. :) I have the babysitter coming tomorrow afternoon so going to try on the MIH Oslos on your recommendation.

Ollie, thanks! Glad you had a nice time.

Ahem £99

Ollie - her tweed jacket is about £75 - not that I've been researching. A lot of her clothes are cheap - its her bags and shoes that are £££

Blimey MrsCB - I thought it looked way more expensive than that!

One of us need to pluck up the courage to message her on FB - she replies to lots of messages on there. Would would we say tho without sounding like some weird Wendy cult?

here but in the navy

There's an extra 10% off the boots with the code VOGUEOFW. I like the wheat ones but not sure what Id wear them with? 88 pounds does seem a bargain tho?

MrsCB, thank you!

MrsCB love the jacket.

Also with the wendy-love - she had a very difficult start in life which makes me admire her even more

That is such a lovely jacket. Doubt it would be flattering to the, ahem, larger-breasted lady though.

Portia echoing red's sentiments, I am clearly entering the wrong raffles!

blue they are the electric blue skinnies she has on in one of her YouTube vids. I have actually been blethering on about wanting them since the summer (as documented on this thread), Wendy has just given me the push I needed. I really like her flares too, they also come in a nice deep red which I think would be very festive.

Inspired by carciofi's lovely pic, I have put a photo of DD on my profile from the slightly fraught Xmas card photoshoot I did this morning!

bloss great shopping, I had a quick browse in Jigsaw earlier and saw some lovely stuff.

ollie glad your celebrations went well and you're pleased with your pressies.

amber, nothing happens when I click on your name. Would love to see your photos.

Should be working now bloss, I won't be posting photos of myself in skimpy, glam dresses NY style - the world is not ready!

Amber, she is soooo cute!
