MN Vogue Vol 7

[shopafrolic]

All welcome to talk style and beauty

Oh I am so sorry Shop. Hugs for you, dh and the dcs. x

Sorry to hear that Shop. DH was made redundant a few years ago but really it turned out well as he found a new job straight away and we had the redundancy cash, you never know sometimes these things seem awful at the time but really are for the better. Stay positive and I hope something turns up soon.

Really sorry to hear that, SHOP, too.

I decided to brave it and do my business trip today about 30 mins before the car was due to pick me up. I have just landed and run around the airport buying toothbrush and toothpaste. I didn't even remember I hadn't packed them till I went into the shop looking for lozenges. Methinks I should have stayed at home .

As an aside.... Shop, don't even think of leaving the thread as you said a couple of weeks ago. Its not just about new purchases and it wouldn't be the same without you. x

Really sorry to hear that Shop. I'm in the same boat with DP, he got made redundant three weeks ago and is desperately hunting for a new job, they are just thin on the ground at the minute. Hope things turn out ok for you.

Sorry Shop xx

Thanks all - that's very good of you and has set me off weeping. Sorry to hear you're in the same situation (and welcome?) OneLittleLady
Although this was expected it still feels totally shit and incredibly unfair. DH is a very proud man, fingers crossed he gets something quickly and it will all be for the good. He has already had a couple of interviews but the roles weren't suitable so fingers crossed it won't take too long.
It's been quite interesting to have to stop myself shopping. I still look at Outnet etc but I try and see if I can spot things you guys might like instead!
Anyway, onwards and upwards. I don't want to drag the thread down.
Amber those slippers in your blog are amazing!
And after all the cryptic messages I'm still none the wiser as to which other bloggers we have amongst us!

Thank you Shop. DP got a call about an interview a few minutes ago so things are potentially looking up. Fingers crossed he gets it as we are really going to struggle if not. Positive thoughts though, positive thoughts.

So sorry shop. Sending best wishes and good luck to you and onelittlelady and your DHs.

so sorry shop, hugs to you and onelittlelady xx

shopandonelittlelady so sorry. Redundancy is crushing.
shop I'm really famous
sleep your holiday wardrobe is so much nicer than mine
McNally those office pointy shoes are gorgeous
MrsRadiccio who are you? PM me...I'm dying to know!!!!!
these arrived today. Cheap but really nice on and look great with bf jeans. The only problem is my skin is soooooooo pale it matches the shoes and from a distance you can barely see them!!

Oh, drywhite, i fear i have made it seem more exciting than it is.

What is everyone wearing to keep warm? I have a quilted coat from gap which is ancient. I'm not keen on it but end up wearing it loads as its the warmest thing i have. So, for next winter i want to get a v warm coat i really like...am looking for inspiration. Any suggestions?

Am also keen to get a charcoal wool beanie / bobble hat, anyone seen any?

I almost bought a Zoe karrson top from the outnet today (will link later as on phone now) but have decided to hold out to see if i can find the Paris one.

I've got a Barbour padded coat MrsR. Not sure on style name but its olive, knee length, big pockets, big fur lined hood and, most importantly, SO WARM without any bulk at all. I got it in harrods and they do a yearly summer maintenance thing where you send it off and they re water proof it or something.

Thanks for White Co code Decam, constantly getting emails, but never at right time. So pleased I've actually used one!

Sleep love your summery buys.

Wine love the ballet flats.

My worst disaster would be the other week, a Stella McCartney oversized jumper that became so undersized and felted after I washed it I had to throw it away. Felt so bad for it, like I'd let it down. Sorry little Stella jumper.

Is it this one Foxy pinterest.com/pin/122230577358559622/

Evening all.
Wanted to add my commiserations, shop. A few years ago DH left a job that was dragging him down and we started up on our own with 4 weeks notice - best thing we ever did. It has been hard (especially starting a new business during a recession) but rewarding, so don't despair - you never know what's coming. Please stick around here though - style is permanent, remember?
I've been suffering a shopping disorder recently, ie ordering all sorts only to send it back. The Michael Kors watch arrived on Monday and, while it is beautiful, I felt I couldn't really justify it, so it went back. I also cancelled the order for the Gigis, but have a feeling I might get them after all as I can't find anything else I like as much. Hoping for a bit of sunshine and warmth to inspire me first.

Yes it's a bit like suspended animation waiting for the weather to improve. No point in buying winter stuff still, and still so cold.

Shop you must stay, it's lovely just to have you here, the shopping is incidental.

No min doesn't have a belt. Hang on...

It's this one pinterest.com/pin/250231323017594848/

Nice sweater for Spring

Love this

Result! Just checked the &Other Stories website (as every other day) and my lovely ballerinas are available in my size again. So I have re-bought. Hoping the 36 fits perfectly as the 37s were huge. I did love them and almost kept them in the too-big size. Glad I didn't now.

Love that grey cashmere shop. That's why we need you here

Good news Grumpy - I so wish i'd bought that yellow bag when it was available......

Nice coat Foxy - I'm living in my Land's End quilted coat at the moment. Not stylish but v warm.
