Hi all. Just staggering to the end of half term and ill DC x 3. Need a holiday myself to get over it. However, have been keeping up with the thread. Lots of amazing links. Love that blue prada especially.

The other handbag thread just made me laugh really. Amazing how people feel they r in a position to judge others. Incredible!

On a more interesting note, have made a few cheeky purchases.

Although think I need to stop reading your blog Amber as I have bought several things u linked, inc the kg pony skin flats, the A jumper and the whistles animal print sweater. Thx for the tips. Non of it breaks the bank tho, thankfully, but then I found this.

I actually can't wait for it to arrive, think it is my perfect colour. Hope I am right.....

Mrsap · 23/02/2013 10:25

Eh? Think I might have missed a bit of the thread...diamond encrusted what? Will go back and c what I have missed!?

Phwoar

Make sure you clear your search history drywhite....

AmberNectarine · 23/02/2013 10:44

cute little summer clutch

I'm all about the leopard clutch today, appaz.

BrandyAlexander · 23/02/2013 11:07

Mrsap, that dress is gorgeous!

jenny99 · 23/02/2013 11:26

That green dress is absolutely gorgeous. And I love the Stella clutch too. So pleased I found this thread.

Maybe you can help me with a belt dilemma..I bought a black silk jumpsuit, and I need a gold belt. Planning to wear it with either gold strappy heels or black ones and I can't find a belt. I'm not good with belts!!

Not sure how to link to the jumpsuit. It is Surface to Air and is on their website.

Thank you in advance for any ideas :)

Mrsap · 23/02/2013 11:31

Funny that everyone likes the dress because my MIL (a lovely woman of impeccable taste normally) spent ages trying to dissuade me yesterday, saying it was boring. I just love the colour tho.

On the belt question, surely the belt can be the gold mango one on Amber's blog? Although without seeing the outfit it's hard to know?

Mrsap · 23/02/2013 11:33

Is it this one Jenny?

jenny99 · 23/02/2013 11:37

I love the green colour. And it isn't boring at all.

Yes, thank you for the link. That's it.

I have seen a gold glitter belt on Mango's website...where is Amber's blog? I sent my husband to a branch near his office yesterday and they didnt have it. But as you might expect he didnt ask when they will or if they can get it etc :)

Mrsap · 23/02/2013 11:40

Think it would work......

jenny99 · 23/02/2013 11:45

Ooh that is nice. It would def work I think unless it is quite heavy...and need to check it goes with my gold glitter valorie...such problems ;)

foxysocks · 23/02/2013 11:52

jenny i have a pale gold belt from jigsaw but it's pretty old, not sure they stock it anymore. look on ebay? mine was £11 down from over £50 in the sales and is really useful.

the goat jacket went back, my friends were appalled at the quality too. and style passport agreed that the mark made it faulty so are going to refund postage. EXCELLENT CS from them, will use again

jeans arrived with same friends last night and i am actually in love. wearing the goldsigns now, they are ridic comfortable.

has anyone see something like this but in better material? don't mind paying a bit more. i tried it last weekend and LOVED it but 100% acrylic? erm, i don't think so.

absolutely love the green dress mrsap and that ponyskin clutch amber

shopafrolic · 23/02/2013 12:26

Late morning all! Lovely links this morning. Was quite scared when I opened the Phwoar link Amber! Wasn't sure what might pop up! Grin
Had my nails painted orange this morning to match my jumper!
The new AV orange sweater is lovely - super soft and warm but at the moment it is shedding all over my indigo jeans! I hope that stops as time goes on.
Marsha that sounds like my perfect breakfast - let us know what gallery you visit. I'm not doing so well with that NY resolution yet!

Meant to say am about to do more listing on EBay. Free this weekend.....
Selling lots of Thomas Sabo jewellery that I don't wear anymore. There seems to be quite a market for it!

Love the green dress, Stella M clutch and jumpsuit.

Cute necklace Amber.

I've finally taken my Hudson baby bootcuts up by 4 inches, so I can wear the damn things tomorrow. I'd forgotten just how soft the denim is, they are lovely.

Forgot to say, lovely bag collection Novice Envy

And those Sam Edelman black baxton ballet flats arrived this week, they are very cute and incredibly comfortable [old gimmer emoticon]

Hi,

I'm a long time lurker, been meaning to say hello for a while! Really like this thread for the fashion chat and links. Though as others have said it can prove expensive! Have developed a liking for Zoe Karssen as inspired by this thread. Really want this paris jumper but it seems to be sold out everywhere.

Have also been inspired by Amber's blog...bought the H&M sweatshirt (good at the price) and also quite keen on the Whistles animal print one Mrsap mentioned upthread.

However, am currently trying to prune back my wardrobe, and make sure everything suits me. I have a tendency to buy what looks good on others but does not necessarily suit my shape.

Foxysocks I really like that jumper you linked to, but not in acrylic! Haven't seen anything similar though.

Mrsap · 23/02/2013 13:39

Hello mrs radicchio, that Zoe jumper is avail on the outnet but only in xs

www.theoutnet.com/product/331820

But worth keeping an eye in it because I always find things come back into stick there (returns I guess?).

Live that jumper too foxy, shame about the acrylic, so frustrating.

I do love that clutch amber (the Stella one) but reluctant to get a canvas one....I do like my leather bags.

Mrsap · 23/02/2013 13:40

Stock.....not stick!

shopafrolic · 23/02/2013 13:43

Welcome mrsradicchio. Love the Paris ZK.

Welcome Mrsraddichio!!

Thanks for comments re my bags :) Now you can see why I said I was a bagaholic and was asking about storage of bags. That was a peak into one part of my collection Blush.

I have been wearing this Desigual top today. Love it.
