MN Vogue Vol. 5

[shopafrolic]

A continuation of style and beauty chat. All welcome.

i'm not sure if goldsign come up big or i've just been wearing too big jeans, drywhiteplease. the donna ida assistant (who was amazing) said my paiges were too big (26) but i love them on some days. tbf the goldsigns do seem perfect for me but when i got them out of the package they looked TINY.

anni those are lovely but i'm REALLY tight for cash until march now. will ponder while i do the school runs.... would mean i can throw/ebay my gap grey skinnies which bag at the back and the knees and need constant hitching up...

I think Gwyneth Palthrow wears rag & bone jeans Drywhite, i've seen them recommended on her blog.

My Goldsign look tiny compared to my Hudsons etc. I think they are just very stretchy.

I won't encourage you then Foxy
Well, not until March anyway :o

Yep they should be on Goop thingo. I've not tried Rag&Bone jeans Drywhite. Did you want light faded blue?

Meeting friend then Liberty to check on acne jumpers and will see if the See by Chloe ballet flats are there Shop.

May have dreamt about Goldsigns.

Goldsign on Yoox for anyone who's interested.

There's quite a few white pairs in various sizes (including 24's for Foxy)

Ignore the bad photos, I ordered a pair of Jbrand 811's that gave the model a camel toe in the photo, but they are nice irl.

goodness, who knew cath kidston stuff would be such a hit on ebay?! i sometimes think my family do not know me at ALL, but if they fund another pair of goldsigns I shall dance a happy dance.

i saw those cropped white goldsigns last night anni, still tempted but am being good for another week at least

Waaahhhh, stop with all the bee-yoo-tiful jeans - we go to the US in 3 (yes THREE) weeks, and I have to hold off until there.

But I did buy the lizard H by Hudson boots, due to be delivered today - yippee!

Hello all. I do love this thread. De-lurking briefly to tell Drywhite that I bought two pairs of Rag and Bone capri jeans in the Donna Ida sale a couple of weeks back and really love them.

I usually wear James Jeans or Joe's Jeans (theme developing here) in either a 28 or 29 and so bought the Rag and Bone in both planning to return one but have actually kept both as they sort of worked in either size. A fair amount of stretch but aren't threatening to end up two sizes larger by the end of the day.

The waist is too big on both and will need altered but I have this problem often so would blame my odd body shape rather than the jeans.

Great Goldsign discounts Anni! The ones I like aren't in my size which is probably a good thing as I need to spend less in March. So if anyone wants me to hunt anything down for them let me know, it'll help me save money!
Foxy March is tomorrow . Interesting what you say about Cath Kidston, have a couple of bags which were gifts and never used so perhaps I'll sell there. My family went through a phase of buying me paperweights!!! They funded some lovely jeans a few years back.
Carrie hope you like the Hudsons, the leather is slouchy soft and I adore my tan ones. Just hope you don't need more structure for work.
Winefairy (great name) don't lurk, join the fun. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my size 32 James jeans I've ordered are going to be okay but am wearing my prune 31s today and am not so sure.......
Marsha fingers crossed for Liberty's and the Chloe's. I doubt. Can even afford them but would like to know!
The sun is trying hard to shine, come on Spring - I'm getting desperate to flash a bit of ankle!

Jealous of all the jeans shopping...I don't suit skinny jeans but like the way they look on everyone else.

Carrie, I love those hudsons as I think I mentioned already (!) so will be interested to hear how you find them irl.

I went into whistles today but didn't buy anything...nothing I tried suited me. I tried the animal print sweater lined on this thread but found it too baggy at the waist and a bit short in the body.

Though I have just bought this bag with the 25% online.

Shop, and anyone else, here is a challenge for you. I would like to find a pair of forest green trousers like this. I like the colour and the tapered shape.

Also...I have a pair of leopard print boots (a bit like these and wondered what colour trousers / skirts I can pair them with.

I took delivery of this shirt today, really like it.

I should also have a no shopping March!

Whoops, my trousers link didn't work!

try again

I should keep my mouth shut MrsR! That's a toughy.
A few with similar shape but not green........
Helmut Lang
black Sonia Rykiel
navy Carven
But none ideal.......

Will keep an eye out

I've been lurking on this thread for a while and you lot have cost me a freakin' fortune!
I'm now asking for help to find a lightweight white cotton shirt that I can wear with my All Saints shorts in the summer (assuming we get one). It must be very fine (like a lawn cotton, kind of semi sheer) and not too long in the body, little fitted with sleeves that can be rolled without bulking too much. Not much to ask, surely...

Hi Grumpy
any good? I love the back of it!

I'm sending the whole Yoox order back.
The jbrands are nice but the wrong colour for me and although the Goldsign fit beautifully, they're too bootcut for me.
When I googled the style of them, Kate Middleton came up as being seen wearing them, which isn't the look i'm going for.

The Hush jackets are nice, but i'm sending them back and want to try the jersey biker style.
If that's no good, i'll probably re-order the navy jersey blazer because it is nice.

I've just been to Tkmaxx and they had 7's and MiH!
In various styles and sizes.
I tried some roxannes which were lovely from the front, but the pocket placement made my bum look saggy

So all i've managed to acquire after my mammoth ordering session is a pair of navy superga and a red woven bracelet for a grand total of £31.

Still waiting for the Gigis though, a slouchy cardigan from Atterley Rd and 3 pairs of Hudson skinnys in various colours

where did you get the bargain supergas, anni? I really want a white pair instead of my usual converse. sorry the other bits didn't work out but hey, all the more to re-invest!

Shop I would like some Hudson bacara's but without paying silly money.

A slouchy fine knit cardigan in navy and/or pale grey.

And a couple of deep v neck slouchy tee's in white, pale grey and navy.

Thanks

It's glorious sunshine here, i've got my ankles out and sunglasses on :o

I got them off ebay Foxy, bnwt for £22 plus postage.
I've thoroughly examined them and compared them to my burgundy ones and they're fine.

I think asos and superga's own site had some pale ones in the sale. I don't think white were reduced though.

Just lost a post arghhhh- where do they go?
Loving all the bargain jeans purchases!
Well done!

Bought this today from local boutique, it's gorgeous and my colours. I hope!

My Pistols arrived and were faulty, MW weren't surprised and said they had a few problems. Arghhh.
Popped into aforementioned local boutique and they had my size, final pair in chestnut. It's fate. Despite sun coming out, I am wearing boots and will be all summer

Enjoy the sunshine.

Love 7FAM roxannes... Off to TK on way to school pickup to assess. Need back view, am worried about saggy bum now!

Hi folks, slightly relieved to have missed last night's jeans spectacular - I don't need any more temptation and would so have ordered the Goldsigns.

Grumpy welcome! What about this JCrew t-shirt? Hope you stay delurked.

Cobalt blue Sophie Hulme has sold out. I have gone on the waitlist, but still no nearer a decision!

Well that's not good news Amber!!

nooooo amber! isn't tomorrow purchase day? can you find anything like the SH but with a more substantial lining i wonder....

Annieanni I wish I had Gwineths legs
winefairy thanks for de lurking to tell me about the jeans.
I will look up GP........and then order them........maybe I won't look at GP actually, might put me off buying them.
Am,so far, sticking to my NY resolution ( I blame you all) to spend on one "quality" item a month rather than lots of crap.......
