So true! Thanks for the new thread - hope the DHL man will get there on time!

Lounging in the M by MJ chambray shirt. A good buy. Chambray is a great way to transition from summer to fall.

Read Harper's Bazaar online. They and Vogue say trouser suits will be back in a big way this year. I bought the last one more than ten years ago (would look very current - slim cropped legs, fitted blazer with a small peplum).

Thanks bloss Smile

Thanks Bloss.

Back later, MIL here.

OllieinOrange · 09/08/2012 20:00

Back later too. Thanks for the new thread Bloss. Have you seen this strap for the Hermes Cape Cod watch here? Nice eh?

MrsCampbellBlack · 09/08/2012 20:02

That's gorgeous Ollie. Did you buy one in the end with your bonus?

I have spent 2 hours cutting the grass this afternoon - hard work. Paid eldest to remove 1.5 dead mice from the lawn only for cat to come running towards us with yet another dead mouse in his mouth. And these country mice are big.

MarshaBrady · 09/08/2012 20:10

Thanks Bloss.

OllieinOrange · 09/08/2012 20:19

No MrsCb I tried it on and wasnt 100% sure it suited me but also partly choked when it came to the cost - the bonus didnt cover it! I think its the sort of investment I will make 'when' i get a job.

Mice? Big mice? Shudder.

Incredible USA relay.

AntPants1 · 09/08/2012 20:33

Oh oliie I love that watch.

Thanks for new thread bloss. Am intrigued my fridge porrage. Will try on the week end.

Thanks bloss.

Ugh to mice mrscb. The necklace looks good. DH has never commented on mine. I am growing rather fond of it and DD always makes a grab for it! Have you permanently shortened yours? I am dithering as sometimes like it longer too so just clumsily knot it if I want it short.

Zara is looking great for next season.

Ooh, I have a certificate proclaiming I am trained.

Have just seen the lovely be Me & Em dress colours. Am slightly tempted to eBay my navy and order the peacock. Probably wouldn't get much on eBay though. Three colours of the same dress might start to get a bit weird...

Hopefully · 09/08/2012 20:51

Lovely new Me & Em colours.

blossoming · 09/08/2012 21:03

Well done hopefully!

The German beach volleyball guys are terribly unattractive.

MarshaBrady · 09/08/2012 21:05

Congrats Hopefully!

There's some new Drome leggings at Matches if you can be bothered giving it another try.

And well done Bolt!

MarshaBrady · 09/08/2012 21:06

Portia4 · 09/08/2012 21:14

Verity where did you try on the navy Jalouse? Will be in town on Saturday and really want to get them!

Portia4 · 09/08/2012 21:19

Well done Hopefully, I'm sure that you'll be very successful in your new careerSmile.

MrsCampbellBlack · 09/08/2012 21:22

God I love Bolt.

OllieinOrange · 09/08/2012 21:24

Well done you Hopefully.

blue2711 · 09/08/2012 21:36

Congrats hopefully! Now when can you analyse me please?!

AmberNectarine · 09/08/2012 21:45

I am considering snapping up the grey sale Me&Em - is it really good? The new colours are lovely!

DH got a decent bonus and pay increase so I have been promised a present. He is also buying a new iPad so I will get full custody of the old one. Finally a chance to bedeck it in Marc Jacobs!

AmberNectarine · 09/08/2012 21:46

And huge congrats hopefully - when do you start?

OllieinOrange · 09/08/2012 21:50

Any suggestions as to how I can remove the smug look off DHs face re GB v Netherlands the mens hockey match?
Will forgive him as he's come home from work and said he has taken tomorrow off so we can go out for the day with the boys.
