Mumsnet Vogue - first edition

[FritziGreenEyes]

For everyone who wants to harp on about their new purchases, enjoys links and some chat. Here is to new beginnings!

Well I am totally new today and I say let's just talk clothes and link and just ignore everyone else who have nothing better to do
Who's with me

I love all the new wine colours this season and purple is my fave colour ever so I intend to milk the trend to the fullest

Gah slinks in sheepishly

I'm sorry. I was wrong. I did giggle a little bit at it all going tits up honestly, but I took it Too Far.

I'll go now.

No way... An apology? This is getting even more surreal !!

BAD Alaska

BAD

any last minute ideas for birthday present for DH please - am banned from cufflinks as he is well stocked up - all ideas welcome.

amber is the outnet blazer black or navy? On phone and can't make it out.

Big, huge shopping disaster here. Toddler meltdowns x a zillion, plus shopping centre evacuated. I did buy a paddling pool (polishes mummy halo) and a maternity dress from h&m - forbidden black and white stripes, but knee length t-shirt style and v clingy. Less than a tenner too .

Wallet?
Watch?
Sunglasses?

emo vouchers? (that he might forget about and you can use)

An activity like a flying lesson?

Magazine subscription

Underwear for you

Coffee table book - travel?

Sorry, I don't know your budget or DH

Giant family sized hammock Emo?

emo magazine subscriptions have been big hits here. As was the iPad.

SaP it describes itself as Anthracite, which I think is Wanky for grey?

meal out?

olympics stamps?

I hate buying for DH, he always buys things he wants, or just doesn't want them.

Hammock is an awesome ideas.

at Wanky for grey.

Mrsndmrs smith hotel vouchers?

weekend away for the two of you

Lordy.

I like clothes, I like handbags, I do not like fitflops. I like the fashion chat and have made friends with people on the A&W thread - proper friends not just internet chat friends and I think that's where its got a bit difficult.

Anyway - I hope you find a way of working things out so you all get to enjoy the fashion and the friendships

And Bloss - when you're back - please pm me details of the lovely eurocamp you've been at - thanks.

Actually my DH always wants loads of iTunes vouchers. It's our anniversary soon, so it'll be that or a nice case for his new iPad.

I believe I can do wanky grey. Marvellous. Perhaps that should appear on the Farrow and Ball colour chart too, alongside Muted Despair. (my sentiment now as the toddler will NOT nap and I'm with child so no gin).

emo how about a Moro or Locanda cookbook with a homemade voucher inside for a meal for two at said restaurant?

Oooh, good idea SaP.

I like talking fashion and enjoy looking at links for inspiration. My best buy I think was a yumi dress which I love. I to am saving up for leather leggings possible glad purples / berry colours are in.

That's a great idea SaP, shame my DH is more of a fish and chips man. Pleb.

I'm optimistic about the jacket as I love T Alexander Wang stuff. Hopefully it will fit the bill, and not make me look like an early nineties businessman.

Am I the only one who is worried about the sweaty leg implications of leather leggings?

Defo not alone in that worry amber

Flying lessons a big hit here Emo. Also even an introductory one counts towards a licence so you can keep buying them for any and every occasion.

Oasis have some really nice coated skinnies for those wary of full on leather/pleather.

I reckon leather less sweaty than pleather. But definitely not a warm weather garment

Hopefully I hear you can help on leather or leather look leggings
I have big calves but am a size 10 - tried oasis and calves too fat :-(.
Don't mind paying - where else can I try?
