I was torn between Jimmy Jimmy and Ultra Skinny Amber. I voted for Jimmy in the end, but could be either.

Hopefully great ebay shopping although French C link goes to home page.

Bright yellow leggings do sound cheery Grin.

MarshaBrady · 24/04/2013 19:14

lol Foxy I missed that saying. Looks fab.

shopafrolic · 24/04/2013 19:15

Went for the skinnies - also loved the bootcuts at 34" leg with heels I'm v tempted to nip to St Albans and take a look.

Hmm, am now revising career plans and considering blogging and getting free clothes Grin. both that and nutritionist very different from old job, I was a chartered accountant turned investment banker. Banking not very compatible with seeing your children much though, won't be going back to that.

Just arrived in Soho, out to my favourite restaurant for a friend's birthday. Great atmosphere with everyone outside pubs etc, I love London in the (almost) Summer! Smile

Amber not had chance to look at jeans yet, will try later!

MrsRadicchio · 24/04/2013 19:36

Another vote for the ultra skinnies here. Thought they were all nice (

MrsRadicchio · 24/04/2013 19:42

Sorry, phone issues.

Thanks for the shoe feedback shop. I've actually decided to send them back, they were just a bit too tight. I've ordered the JV snake flats to try. The ones I have fit really well. Amber's code still works.

Sleep, I like the sound of your potential new career! Would be lots of demand for it, I would think.

It is hard to get back to work post dc. Am not yet sure what my plans will be. Will prob have to take a bit of a career break but don't really want to!

Marsha, am intrigued by your job...sounds v glamorous.

Hopefully · 24/04/2013 19:48

Yellow leggings are the gold ones here. They are quite fun and a fab colour, but I'm honestly not sure WTF I would wear them for! Alarming my nanny possibly (she is v surfer cool).

Drywhiteplease · 24/04/2013 19:55

Voted for the cropped skinny (Kyle?)....weirdly since I'm obsessed with boyfriend jeans myself. All look good though. Am booking in for facelift after seeing those pics Amber Grin
Celebrated my Whistles success with a Wine now off to tango self in prep for "do" on Friday........what a glamorous life I lead!!Grin

Travel I have been known to wear leggings for loungewear, but TBH I'm more at home in the leather version Grin

QueenCadbury · 24/04/2013 20:07

Ah, London in the summer .

amber I didn't vote as got distracted by the dc but I would go for the black ones as they just looked like they fitted best. CP is looking lovely in the sun.

hopefully I reckon you could pull off yellow leggings. Not sure wtf you'd wear them with either though.

drywhite love your dress. Am joining you on the Wine as dh is away and I need it to help me sleep .

Anyone checked out HOF? I did have a fairly full basket but then looked at the price and had to remove most of it Grin. Just ordered silver sandals as I've been wanting some for a while.

AmberNectarine · 24/04/2013 20:20

Thanks all - surprised by the love for the black! I like them, but they are v low rise, would def be 'going out' jeans, not running after sprogs jeans.

shop, if you do pop in feel free to mention how great my blog is Wink

foxy I ordered the Georgio midi dress to collect at weekend - will report back!

drywhite yay for dress success. I have had three offers of free cosmetic surgery in a week, so obviously I don't look that great!!

Blog is going well - I have some exciting things in the pipeline, including a meeting next week about something which could be fantastic if it comes off. Fingers crossed!

MarshaBrady · 24/04/2013 20:21

QueenC bravo on bright colour today and compliment. I couldn't do those sandals either. But wish I could.

MrsR any vestige of glamour disappeared when I realised it is probably the worst industry to work in post-dc. Long hours, full time or nothing, lots of competition. Was quite good back then I suppose good studio/offices in Soho / Covent Garden / Shoreditch type places, lots of going out.

But terrible post-dc! I can only do it self employed on a day rate to make it work. (I just do the thinking before the creative stuff, not that glamorous really). Agencies are full of people who don't have dc, I realise why now. The one today was ok thank goodness. Some older people still hanging around. Grin

QueenCadbury · 24/04/2013 20:22

Shock at plastic surgery offers.

shopafrolic · 24/04/2013 20:22

I will Amber already hit like on FB when they mentioned you today

Drywhite, that's great news about the dress, love it when things like that happen.

Hopefully, lol at you feeling frugally smug re:a waterfall card Grin. To be fair, it looks really good on you.

Sleep, lovely that a new baby is on your agenda.

Decam, glad DD2 is good again.

MarshaBrady · 24/04/2013 20:28

Sleep ha yes free clothes always enticing. Foxy I know I said about the mn mates thing before when you did a pic. But I should have put an OR in there. OR a blog so you get the kick backs from the views! Grin

Sounds good Amber charging ahead.

Drywhiteplease · 24/04/2013 20:30

QueenC cheers! I'm the same....leave all the lights on when DH away.

MarshaBrady · 24/04/2013 20:33

Dh is out tonight again. That's the only thing that would be great. Just leaving work and going out. Although I can imagine I'd just be in a rush to get home.

QueenCadbury · 24/04/2013 20:40

drywhite, I too leave all the lights on. Just contemplating whether a 2nd glass will make me feel totally shit tomorrow....

QueenCadbury · 24/04/2013 20:46

How many types of havs are there? Guess I 'm going to have to try some on rather than ordering from the comfort of my sofa.
