Marsha I have visions of you and I, champagne fuelled, searching west London for an American to steal! :)

Grin Shop I like your style. Will be fun!

We can also talk about doing next one, September maybe, so everyone has a chance to make it.

Binky is looking good on MiC (so high brow).

AmberNectarine · 13/05/2013 22:46

I don't think lace is ever over, novice. By the way, you know we'll all be bitterly disappointed if you don't come heavily embellished on Saturday... I'm looking forward to some serious bling! Wink

No idea what to wear now that shop has nicked my jeans :)

LinusDKD · 14/05/2013 07:04

hopefully is this the kind of shoe you are after?

Giuseppe Zanotti

Minus the £££ price tag of course.

LinusDKD · 14/05/2013 07:07

Or this

Kate Spade

shopafrolic · 14/05/2013 07:31

Amber you wear the jeans! I can always wear a different pair.... Especially since you recommended them.... Even if we did both wear them I bet we'd style them differently.

James Jeans are on secret sales today.

I haven't seen MiC yet (Sky +'d), I love Binky - but her outfit at the Bafta's was not a good look..... www.reveal.co.uk/fashion/news/a480761/made-in-chelseas-binky-felstead-in-pink-jumpsuit-at-baftas-picture.html

shop I'm winding you up - I'll probably wear my leather skinnies.

Colour palette for today - navy, cobalt and neon pink. Nothing like ringing the changes. Wearing my awesome Kate Spade earrings and carrying the Eurotrash bag, which is brilliant for work as it literally holds my life. Also lovely quality, don't think I'll be buying a bag above the MK, KS, Coach price point for a while - it just doesn't feel like value for money.

Sleepwhenidie · 14/05/2013 07:55

Oh love the Kate Spades Linus, also the Karolina in pink.

Grin at all the DH's altered sartorial preferences! Mine was overly fond of GAP carpenter jeans and hiking boots for a long time, he is quite slim and I think he thought the jeans made him look bigger but they actually had the opposite effect. He is also now fonder of Diesel indigo slim legs and nice boots. He has great taste in shirts and jackets, Joseph, Boss, Armani, he needs to be smart casual most of the time but looks lovely in his Richard James suits. He hates shopping though, does it out of necessity with a proper smash and grab approach as he hits his threshold after about 50 minutes Smile

I think we need to take a photo on Saturday and see if mnv'ers not there can identify those they haven't seen before (Amber, Hopefully) by their clothes Grin

BrandyAlexander · 14/05/2013 07:58

I shall try not to disappoint AmberGrin I think I already promised Marsha I would be clutching the Balenciaga bag. I will be like one of those old ladies stacked up with blingmilGrin. If its cold and raining I will be wearing a sack so be warned!!

Sleepwhenidie · 14/05/2013 07:59

Oh dear God, just clicked on Binky link...money can't buy you style can it?

Drywhiteplease · 14/05/2013 07:59

So went to the pub and we ended up buying clothes online !!!Grin....it's not just me who has a problem!

shopafrolic · 14/05/2013 08:02

I might come wearing the clothes I wore pre joining MNV instead.
Interesting article in the NY Times from Angelina Jolie
That's my bit for the articles section of MNV rather than the fashion pages.....

I had to put that in to compensate for my link to Reveal magazine :)

I definately want photos from Saturday.

You ladies should kick me off here today. I haven't had time to wash my hair this morning and if my hair's a mess I don't feel good no matter what I wear. So I put on my trusty fat face sweater Shock. It's normally reserved for I'll days/centre parcs but hey, looking at the weather forecast it's going to be cold and rain so no-one will see it anyway. I will try and shower and hair wash at lunchtime!

QueenCadbury · 14/05/2013 08:18

Oh my god, I've just heard the weather forecast man mention snow!!!!!

QueenCadbury · 14/05/2013 08:19

That should be ill days not I'll days obv. Bloody iPad.

MarshaBrady · 14/05/2013 08:23

Nobody minds if I take the photos do they and am thereby absent from them? Grin I'm not on fb am trying to see if I can avoid having photos online. A modern day experiment Wink

Binky! What are you wearing, you looked great in the MF shoot.

QueenC snow!!

shopafrolic · 14/05/2013 08:26

Hey Sleep - some of your friends know some of my friends! Small world.....

OP posts:
Sleepwhenidie · 14/05/2013 09:34

I did wonder Shop...one of my very best friends lives up your way, wouldn't surprise me if there are connections Smile. Will check it out later!

Sleepwhenidie · 14/05/2013 09:35

Marsha maybe we could chop your head off (in the photos, not literally Grin

Sleepwhenidie · 14/05/2013 09:36

QueenC I think we could forgive the unwashed hair, but a Fatface sweater Hmm...isn't that mnv heresy Grin?

Parisisalwaysagoodidea · 14/05/2013 09:56

Loving all the shoe links!

I've just dropped my dog off at the vets for a small operation. He HATES the vets and is very scared. Oh my God, his little face as I left, you could tell he felt betrayed. I haven't felt like this since DSs first day at nursery 13 years ago! I'm trying not to cry to stay busy until 2pm when I find out how the op went.

Are those of us not at the meet up going to get a full report after the event? I want to hear who, where and, most, importantly, what everyone was wearing! Grin

DH is a pretty scruffy dresser when not at work . Though I did buy him some Y3 trainers that look great. He's not into shopping so that'll have to do. At work he has to wear suits and he looks amazing in a suit, white shirt and grey tie. Simple but v effective. It even made me part with my money to buy him this tie clip. I have no idea what shoes he wears to work as he wears trainers on his commute and keeps shoes at his office.

Foxy Could I please have a link to your purse? I'm looking for one and yours sounds like it could be a contender.

Hopefully · 14/05/2013 10:43

The GZ neon green heels are beautiful. But £££££. It's always the nice ones that are hugely expensive.

Paris hope your dog is done quickly at the vets, poor thing.

I need to go to a networking lunch in about 45 mins and (a) have no idea what to wear and (b) have no idea what to say when I stand up and speak for a minute or two. V hard to wax lyrical about colour/style analysis in 60 seconds, it's so much more complex!
