Sorry about thread title. Hope everyone is back from holidays soon and will find us here.

amber Which JBrands did you get?

bonsoir I tried on those two tops in Cos before Easter and was tempted too. Bought a simple navy dress in Cos and shoes, which are not on the website Hmm. Will return this top. Cos is great at the moment I think.

Yes, Cath K big round here too, as are Lonchamp, though I did spot a girl with her school books in a Louis Vuitton Neverfull the other day which made me a bit Hmm. That being said, looking back I was toting my first LV at that age, though I kept my school books in a very sensible leather satchel - I was ten years ahead of trend!

MrsCampbellBlack · 12/04/2012 07:20

Blue it was this one the postman lock satchel in beige.

Slaymill · 12/04/2012 10:18

That Mulberry is on my list of possibles MrsCB I have three options. I like to try them in person so shopping beckons this weekend. My DP bought a bag & purse for Valentines in Copenhagen but lost the reciept hence having to swap and over the 28days. Though Mulberry have been helpful at HO.

I`m bored of my saga so sorry for repeat. Amber did you get the silver nail polish ?

bloss ash&dan say they send to UK. So might copy

I like navy for work outfits hopefully I used to visit here ignore dire pictures they put me in fine navy pinstripe skirt and navy jacket. You know your colouring so your going to be more pulled together than most ppl.

I can`t wear low rise jeans apart from the agnes as they were so tight. Peppermint jeans and cream sound lovely blue.

AmberNectarine · 12/04/2012 10:23

slay I have not yet, I need to pop into Harvey Nicks to pick up the fab butter one you linked to. Have gone with Chanel Nouvelle Vague on my toenails in the interim. I wish I had store credit at Mulberry!

mim 30% off code for Gap doing the rounds if you wanted the white blouse. I would size down.

Slaymill · 12/04/2012 10:25

Copy Jessica that is not you bloss I found out the blue one I liked is Theodora & Callum Blue Border Leopard Tie All Scarf.

MrsCampbellBlack · 12/04/2012 10:26

Slay - I quite fancy some mulberry store credit too Wink The beige colour is so gorgeous in that bag - showed it to DH last night and mentioned birthday and as I'd previously been talking diamonds think he was quite relieved Wink

However its a long time till August and I am fickle.

AmberNectarine · 12/04/2012 10:28

blue I seem to remember you liking this on Wendy...

Slaymill · 12/04/2012 10:29

I liked the butter one out of the two Amber I wish I could pop to Harvey Nicks and hit the juice bar is it still there ?

MidnightinMoscow · 12/04/2012 10:31

Hello.

Blue can you link to your cream blouse if it's a recent purchase?

Thanks Amber, yes I have a 30%. I thought it looked big in store, so agree for a smaller size.

Beautiful bag MrsCB, what a stunning colour.

Like all the bag chat, it's Cath K a plenty here, often with a boden spotty mac to compliment.

I am struggling with clothes. I need to lose a stone, so can't where my normal clothes. I had a few things put by that I bought after DS, i.e larger jeans etc but everything is hurting my scar so much other than leggings. I think I just need to stick it out over the next few weeks. Although might go to Primark and get a couple of tops to go with leggings, maybe tunic style....

GAHHH! leggings and tunic...I'll be ordering Fly boots next...HELP!!

AmberNectarine · 12/04/2012 10:31

MrsCB I have been hammering it into DH that he'll be springing 4 figures on a bag for my 30th. Just need to decide between Balenciaga giant city, PS1 or anything else that comes out in the interim. At least he's prepared.

MidnightinMoscow · 12/04/2012 10:32

where? I mean wear.

MrsCampbellBlack · 12/04/2012 10:35

MIM - your scar surely should not be hurting so much - is it infected?

MrsCampbellBlack · 12/04/2012 10:37

Amber - I am hoping for bag and then bit of a shopping spree.

Was going to have a diamond pendant but I just don't think I'd wear it much so a bit pointless really. Have watch, rings etc [spoilt] Wink

MidnightinMoscow · 12/04/2012 10:39

I don't think it is, I'm just really tender. I'm assuming the pain is due to the 'get her out quick' nature of my cs, and also that there was a fait bit of scar tissue from my first one.

Slaymill · 12/04/2012 10:40

I agree gorgeous colour thought the lining was lovely in that bag aswell MrsCB you should start a possible birthday list. Add/cross off as you go..

What are you doing anything special ?

I went to Gleneagles for my 40th.. took a gorgeous dress to wear and the zip broke.I rang up concierge they asked me my height/dress size and 5 minutes later a dress was delivered to our house (Glenmor) relief !

Sorry cross post sorry about your scar MiM is worth speaking to the doctor ?

MrsCampbellBlack · 12/04/2012 10:45

MIM - I know you're a medic but really think you need to get it checked. I've had 3 c-sections and really didn't have that level of pain - how old is DD now?

First - I love how you've totally seen through my strategy for my present Wink

Amber - meandem do a nice jersey maxi too.

Am annoyed that the gap code isn't working online as need to do big order as have presents to purchase for various children.

Hopefully · 12/04/2012 10:47

FLE no chance! Meeting with H to discuss numbers and look at contracts etc before we commit. Looks like all being well we'll relocate in July.

AmberNectarine · 12/04/2012 11:24

FLE ooh, that was me with the maxis and yes Kettlewell good call! Hopefully is yours quite swishy?

MrsCB you see I'm still outstanding diamond earrings, will mention when DH makes partner I had clocked that Me&Em maxi, I like, may order! pickled's Gant one turned out to be see through!

AmberNectarine · 12/04/2012 11:25

And mim poor you! Mainly because of the tunics and leggings but also the pain, I suppose Wink

AmberNectarine · 12/04/2012 11:27

Where's Decameron?

FritziGreenEyes · 12/04/2012 11:29

mim Please see a doctor about your scar. Especially now that your DH is going back to work.

slay Juice bar at HN? I only remember sipping champagne there back in the day Wink

Just bought a couple of nice things for DD at H&M.

Quick browse through Esprit, then back home.
