New thread!

The fake tan is on (with requisite orange patches, naturally) and hair is done. I'm on countdown to Big Night Out, aware that will have to get ready whilst putting 2 DC to bed.

40bum lady is wearing my black suede Zara sandals today. I heartily recommend. She goes out a lot, doesn't she?! Envy. I have a wardrobe full of going out clothes but not enough occasions to wear them all!

bloss is right: coats and warm jackets are the way forward. I am stupid; I have 20 odd blazers and lightweight jackets perfect for May to September but only 1 jacket and 2 coats I like for September to April. Must rectify.

Total. Rock. n. roll.

Kaloo your boards are wonderful!

New crap tv obsession here - Hart of Dixie. Sooooo bad, but love Rachel Bilson's wardrobe. She may be my new style crush.

Russianred · 06/07/2012 20:57

Oh Bloss am just in the process of arranging my camping trip...

MarshaBrady · 06/07/2012 21:06

I know it's true. It's the only way to relax (work months away). I was musing about this very thing with a friend today.

Nothing on tonight except mindless stuff. I do have a date with a roof top and some bubbles this weekend. Oh I mean with dh. Thinking about outfit already.

I'd really love to wear my Yeojin Bae print dress with Bruno belt but fear the weather will not allow.

blossoming · 06/07/2012 21:06

Get pinning ants!
Following you kaloo.

blossoming · 06/07/2012 21:07

Sorry re double post. When are you coming red?

ApuskiMcClusky · 06/07/2012 21:08

Evening all. I haven't had as much chance to post as I thought - got a little distracted with Pinterest earlier in the week, and have spent the last two days getting deeper and deeper into stressville - nanny situation is as yet unresolved. And I start my new job on Tuesday. And no childcare as of the end of next week. . But on the plus side, I'm hopefully interviewing two possibles on Monday, after resorting to the hideously expensive agency . Cheers MiM! In two weeks I will look back on all this and laugh!

Anyhow, onwards! MiM, I am in awe of your cookery book collection! And very much enjoying seeing other pins. I am DH by the way, if anyone was wondering!

Lovely Ikea finds Red, I do appreciate being so close!

A big hello to the delurkers and joiners! Love to see a bit of new blood (and new wardrobes!).

MarshaBrady · 06/07/2012 21:08

hehe we want knew things to look at. Grin

MarshaBrady · 06/07/2012 21:08

Crap NEW and I'm not even on anything. The shame!

MarshaBrady · 06/07/2012 21:17

Oh Apuski so stressful. Hope you get someone good pronto.

blossoming · 06/07/2012 21:17

You poor thing apuski. Clinks glasses, and mim!

Russianred · 06/07/2012 21:20

Around the last weekend of August, it looks like Bloss. You about?

Apuski what a PITA. Sounds very, very stressful.

AntPants1 · 06/07/2012 21:24

So that's an hour of my life gone...

bloss cannot believe you have found me already!!!!

Have no idea how to follow...

Have used the same name if anyone wants to find me

Have added 10% of my clothes!

Decameron · 06/07/2012 21:25

Kaloo (I like those labels too) and Bretonbee, I'm following you (I'm SMcG with the freckles!).

Gorgeous dress, Bloss, it would be lovely on you.

MiM, glad you are having a good night.

I'm thinking of cutting carbs two days a week, just read this (old news so you probably all know about it).

I took my two to a barbeque at DD1's school, it was a bit stressful going without DH (guess where he is?) as DD1 kept running off and it was so crowded. I did have a glass of wine though and got to wear my J Brand leggings and new shoes.

Have a great time with your friends, Red.

blossoming · 06/07/2012 21:27

I see ants has taken to Pin like a duck to water!

MarshaBrady · 06/07/2012 21:29

Really lovely outfits Ants!

Russianred · 06/07/2012 21:29

Who couldn't Bloss?! Although I fear I have alienated myself from a woman by telling her about my uses on Pinterest. She was a bit, 'but everything you own must be very current in order to find pictures of it online?!'...

blossoming · 06/07/2012 21:31

If you mean the very last, red, then yes. Back that week.
Diet sounds interesting decam. Do love the dress, but would it work for work I wonder?

blossoming · 06/07/2012 21:32

New shoes decam?? Have you pinned Wink

MidnightinMoscow · 06/07/2012 21:34

Oh crickey, DH has put Smokey Robinson on, 'cos it used to get me in the mood.

Er..I'm not that pissed!

Russianred · 06/07/2012 21:36

LOL MiM, really genuinely so.

AntPants1 · 06/07/2012 21:39

It's a slippery slope bloss a slippery slope. Just 90% of my wardrobe to go and also my things I am lusting after board to do...am off to drink some wine with DH and pay him some attention

Oh and MIM you go girl!!!

MidnightinMoscow · 06/07/2012 21:44

Make sure he doesn't play Smokey Ants

MarshaBrady · 06/07/2012 21:45

lol MiM! Grin

Decameron · 06/07/2012 21:48

MiM, you crack me up.

Not sure about wearing it to work Bloss, (though you will be the favourite teacher if you do) but I love the neckline. Definitely a date night dress! I did indeed pin the shoes, in fact you clicked Like!

Hope you find a nanny soon, Apuski.
