Great list Linus I love my Splendid tees but sent my Zoe K ones back too. Do stay, wold love to hear more and am Envy of the Celine.
Anni unfortunately cheap jewellery rings me out in a rash so I won't be able to join the necklace competition, sounds like fun though Wink
Apologies to those who had to Google tranny, hope the pictures weren't too scary!

Grin at anni telling me to ?just bloody buy? the dress. The credit card has been flexed and it is winging its way to me right now! Good to see the Grecian one worked out for you Shop
Glad to hear your DD is ok QueenC
Topaz I enjoy reading about the pleasure people get from looking good ? I am getting a lot of wear out of the M&S snakeskin flats too, looking down at the lovely almond shaped toe makes me smile! Gorgeous scarf ? off to see if they have it in cobalt.
Welcome Linus Envy at the Celine
I love the idea of a styling competition with Drywhites necklace Smile

Am I the only one who doesn't think that necklace is that bad?

Welcome Linus, great list. Marsha has an orange trio. It is a thing of beauty.

My Sheriff and Cherry pastel sunnies arrived (they were cheaper than liberty's DD's with various discounts) and I think I really like! Need to try them out with contacts as have only popped on over glasses so far

Drywhiteplease · 03/05/2013 22:09

Aaaaah Amber you're lovely, it's yours !Grin.... It's just not me..

Does Me+Em ever do voucher codes?

libertychick · 03/05/2013 22:18

I agree Shop doomed is the word! It's hilarious how much she loves them. She has been asking for sunglasses for about two weeks, non stop 'I want sunglasses' - our financial future is in jeopardy if this is how DH is going to deal with these demands. He justified it with a 20 min blah, blah, blah about the level of sun protection, how well they fit etc. Then this evening I caught him looking at noise cancelling headphones for toddlers - apparently she has mentioned that it's noisy in the back of the car....could be worse I guess, at least he's not replacing the car...Grin

Drywhiteplease · 03/05/2013 22:32

liberty in my experience its the parents who normally need to wear noise cancelling earphones!!

libertychick · 03/05/2013 22:45

And we are candidates for that Drywhite - her speech has taken off and she does not shut up - ever - thank god she a sleeper.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 03/05/2013 22:55

Oh Drywhite, the link to the necklace has gone! I'm so disappointed I missed it.
Just briefly checking in before my very knackered bath and bed to say thanks for all your input regarding my Ascot dresses. In the interests of covering all bases, I've ordered both navy dresses and the first white one, which I'm hoping will be good and heavy as I searched for something just like it last year. If any of them aren't right for me they'll go back, but at this point in time I'm intending to keep them all - it's not as though I won't get to wear any of them - it's a loooong racing season ahead! I also added this and these to my bag as I'm managing to slip away mid-season for 10 days in Portugal.
Loving the kimono-talk too. so pretty love it
Not a kimono, but will definitely have to have this when back in my size.

Drywhiteplease · 03/05/2013 23:02

Oh my good God
she's wearing my necklace !!!!
But in a nicer colour.

Drywhiteplease · 03/05/2013 23:02

Look down.....turquoise dress

Drywhiteplease · 03/05/2013 23:03

Still looks horrible though

santamarianovella · 03/05/2013 23:04

liberty we bought the gap dvf sunglasses for DD and i thought that 15 quids are alot for baby sunglasses ,but she loves them!she was wearing it all day yesterday,and had breakfast this morning with her sunglasses on.
i just hope it doesnt break.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 03/05/2013 23:04

BTW, following on from all the talk of red lippy last week, Marie Claire (which is only £2.50 this month) is giving away various Avon make up. I got the one with the red lipstick which is a gorgeous shade - I'm a convert now! (never having worn red lipstick in my life)

libertychick · 03/05/2013 23:06

Oh Grumpy sounds fab to have a job where you get to dress up a lot - that said I am sure there's lots of non glam days with the horses too.

That Zara jacket is great.

santamarianovella · 03/05/2013 23:10

can you return it back dry?
to be honest its not that bad,and i see alot of italian,and french women wearing similar ones

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 03/05/2013 23:11

Liberty most days I'm so scruffy, you MNVers would disown me!
Darn you, Drywhite - I know I'm supposed to be abhorring that necklace, but you've gone and introduced me to another great blog and re-ignited my desire for a Michael Kors watch (Birthday this month - may have to get DH on it)

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 03/05/2013 23:12

need it now

libertychick · 03/05/2013 23:23

Drywhite in response to your question above Me & Em often have codes but I gather they send the best ones to good customers. They also have fantastic sales but some things seem to sell out very fast. This dress is a steal but only XS left in stock. From what you have said about your size/shape it might fit you?

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 03/05/2013 23:29

now look what you made me do Drywhite

libertychick · 03/05/2013 23:30

Lovely, lovely watch Grumpy - I think Amber has said that her MK watch keeps breaking though.

libertychick · 03/05/2013 23:32

And Grumpy weren't you going to bed half an hour ago - instead you have bought a dress and mentally committed to a watch!!!

Drywhiteplease · 03/05/2013 23:34

Grumpy she has a sister
here
I think they share clothes!
You must get that watch......on all the blogs I read (loads) v lovely. Nice dress.

santamarianovella · 03/05/2013 23:37

how long does it take for j.crew orders to arrive?
