MN Vogue Vol. 5

[shopafrolic]

A continuation of style and beauty chat. All welcome.

shop I will tomorrow. Right now I'm too tired (yet am still on MN-this site is addictive). Have never ordered online from mango as you can't return to store and I hate paying postage costs. Also I've read bad things on here about returns taking ages. John Lewis do some mango stuff though as do asos.

Must. Go. To. Bed.

QueenC I do the same, just looking at one more thread and end up so tired. Must. Go. To. Bed. Too.

And yet I'm still here....

I am now stepping away from the iPad.

Greatly enjoying your purchases . I just got a cobalt blue neoprene mini-skirt, probably not to everyone's taste on here . it's for with tights only but, when I think about it, the number of days that one could even consider wearing a mini without tights in this country is, I wager, minuscule.

Has anyone else noticed that Stella McCartney underwear is really, really, great? The bras come up small though so need to try on.

Hi to anyone still up . Just got in from
cinema with my dad who is visiting while DH is in China (any good shopping in China ?)

pseudonimity your skirt sounds fab-linky please? Also do we have to start on underwear? My lingerie collection is woeful and used to be amazing pre DC's. Investing in that is a scary prospect though yes I have noticed the beautiful SM stuff but have closed my eyes, sang tra la la and headed back down the other end of 3rd floor of Sellies

Must go to sleep now too, night all.

I have an Iris and Ink silk tee. Will wear it on the blog next week and you can all see it.

Great idea Amber.

Do link Pseud sounds great.

My underwear collection is a mixed bag. Could be better. Wouldn't mind some Stella stuff but always get distracted by other things!

Stella Lingerie
not designed for big boobs it appears!
Would love to see the tee on your blog Amber

Morning all Voguettes! Glad to see you have been propping up the UK economy in my absence!

shop What about this from Anthro as a possible blazer. Allegedly, it's Dark Grey and not black so I sneaked it through on a technicality.

I also managed to buy myself yet another quilted jacket in the process. Whoops.

And I have a lot of love for this. I am fortunate to have such 'unusual' taste in jackets that most of them end up heavily discounted in the sales.

Morning all, that Stella underwear is divine.
I used to love nice underwear back in the olden days when I was a b cup.

Thanks for the All Saints tee recommendation Sleep, i'll have a look when i'm out next week. Shops that only go up to a size 14 scare me though at the moment, especially when I want slouchy items.
Maybe I should get that shred dvd out of it's packet...

After my moment of madness when I ordered those ZK tees, I know that things like that just aren't me anymore.
I'd like to look like that link of Gwyneth, and i love those Rag & Bone jeans.

Well done Foxy with the orange sweater, a total bargain.
Did you manage to get one Marsha?
I dropped my phone in the bath last night, whilst giggling at all your exploits and need to have another read I think.

I'm due a dhl delivery today, which I presume is the Mih paris from the outnet, and also the Atterley Road cardigan.

I've ordered the Whistles seem back tee, thanks to Shop
And the grey jersey blazer may have inadvertently fallen into my basket at the same time :o

I still want a navy jacket though, hopefully the Hush biker style will be nice.

No sign of the Gigi's although they were quick to take the money out of my bank account

Yes please to the silk tee blog Amber, hope you got some sleep last night.
And have you decided on the bag situation yet?

Blimey, that's a long post... i'll shut up now

What do we think of this for the school run?

Shall I?

Love that quilted jacket Winefairy.

Anni so pleased you got the MiH Paris I love mine, even though the off-white felt different. Is your phone ok?!

And yes I did! Thanks to the lovely Foxy. We may have to do a sizing swap around but there's two coming in and am sure they will be snapped up on here. Shop can have mine if it doesn't fit.

Welcome back Novice! . How was it?

Gwynnie looks great doesn't she.

lol yes do it

Great blazers Winefairy, think I lke the anthropologie the best.

Love that American Vintage, Marsha. What a find!

Shop and Foxy are superb shoppers! I got lucky too.

My phone seems ok-ish Marsha, it's a HTC touchscreen thingie, I think it's survived as they are quite well sealed, rather than ones with buttons where the water would get straight inside.

In all my years of having a phone, I have never dropped one in the bath before. I blame you lot for making me laugh!

I took it apart and had it on a heater overnight.
It's sort of working but keeps going a bit odd. I'll take it apart properly tonight and clean the inside of the screen etc. I've replaced a broken screen on it in the past, so I sort of know what i'm doing.

The Stella lingerie does come in bigger sizes on NAP. I'll link to my skirt later. Also spied a Raoul clutch that I loved and an Alexander McQueen bag yesterday, I'll try to link. Happy shopping!

ha this thread makes me laugh too . But hope it's ok!

Love Raoul Pseud and McQueen, ok enough from me. Got to go!

at you lot and your MNV knit!

Winefairy that last Anthropologie jacket is the one I fell in love with a couple of weeks ago. It's def on the list of things to try on during my shopathon tomorrow . While I'm there I'm also thinking of hopping on the quilted jacket bandwagon with this Floral Anthropologie number and trying these flats but they're not quite as pointy as I'd like.

And laughing at Winefairy thinking the Anthropologie jacket will end up on the sale rail while I've not been linking it in fear of it selling out!

Cos, obvs, the fashion world are on tenterhooks waiting to see my posts!

yeah me too.

Austique said they'd not ever had two orders at exact same time. I did think let's see how many systems we can crash on mnv.

Morning all. Loving looking at the links to lovely springlike items (even though I'm supposed to be invoicing customers this morning ) Well, I need a nice diversion sometimes...
So far this week, my purchases have included
this tank which looks great with the slubby, slouchy vest underneath (also bought)
wedges to go with the tank and the All Saints shorts . While on All Saints, I picked up the silk Biker T in white and the long-sleeved Stam in washed black. I also received this dress from Boden which I had forgotten I'd ordered a while back and it was surprisingly nice! I haven't ordered anything other than shoes or kids' stuff from Boden in years because it's not usually my kind of thing, but I've been looking for a neat little white dress since last summer and this fit the bill. I also got Reiss 1971 jeans and love them. The colour's great and there's lovely stretch. Whoever alerted me to the Does My Bum Look 40 blog could have alot to answer for as I also bought a new scarf and jacket and have a hit list as long as my arm. The picture of the Zara jacket doesn't do it justice - it looks far better on the blog (and RL). Sent some stuff back to Uniqlo and instead have bought this bracelet, so essentially, it's free isn't it?
