I know am a riddle in a puzzle, only jokes Grin will pm.

MarshaBrady · 08/05/2013 22:41

That's nice Dry.

Welcome back Grumpy! Shopping sounds fab.

MrsRadicchio · 08/05/2013 23:36

Argh I want to see what everyone looks like . Can someone take a picture at the meet up??

Shop, I tried that maxi on in whistles. It did nothing for me as the gathered waist added inches to my hips.

I just got an American apparel tube maxi. Think its the one amber mentioned up thread. 100% cotton too.

I have seen quite a few slebs, living in London, but always forget them. Seen a lot of musicians who were big in the 90s, bobby Gillespie, Bernard butler, Louise wener, graham coxon, John power.

I'd love to see Kate moss. Was it you, anni? Bet she looks amazing.

Going to think of more now...

Most recent was Alan Davies - not too exciting!

MrsRadicchio · 08/05/2013 23:37

Have seen kirsty and Phil. She is much prettier than she looks on tv.

McNally · 08/05/2013 23:42

My most recent was Sue Pollard and the lady from Birds of a Feather. Actually, I see them all the time. I live in a very glamorous area Grin . Work near TV studios so see loads of celebs like Myleene Klass. Best was running into Bill Clinton in New York.

Topazandpearl · 08/05/2013 23:53

Ryan Tubridy was doing some cover on Radio 2 last summer (for Graham Norton, perhaps, maybe there is a rule about having to have Irish people on Grin). When back in Ireland, I like to catch up with the Late, Late, but still find it odd that it's not GB presenting (showing my age!) Agree that he seems a nice person.

shopafrolic · 09/05/2013 07:05

MrsR if you're on FB and want to connect then PM me and I'll send you my details for a friend request. You'll get bored of my incessant ramblings though. I'm addicted!
Morning all. Big retailer MD meeting today. Wish me luck. Wearing blue A&W chinos, cream silk shirt, nude LKB Floretes and Reiss scarf, Mulberry Bayswater. Hope it's smart enough. Not sure if I should be wearing a dress but the weather is lousy again.

Good luck for the meeting, shop. Outfit sounds good. I'm another one who is not on Facebook!

LinusDKD · 09/05/2013 07:38

Good luck shop

Decameron · 09/05/2013 07:51

Good luck today, Shop. The outfit sounds great. I sent you a friend request. Your hair suits you so well.

Liberty, I'm jealous, I love Dara O'Briain. Topaz, GB lived nearby and his daughter was in my class, my granny was thrilled!

I have met some members of U2. The Baldwins and Howard Stern (!) went to my gym in New York and I sat at the table beside Hugh Grant. I was in the lounge in JFK waiting for a flight and Robbie Williams was beside us. DH was mortified as I kept walking past him to have a look. Also they filmed Sex and the City near my friend's apartment so saw SJP and co a couple of times. David Schwimmer was filming a movie near where I lived and they shut down the area, which put me in a big temper. Rudolph Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg had offices in my building so took the lift with them a couple of times. I normally never recognise anyone until after they've gone by. A couple live around here, including Anneka Rice. I wish she'd wear her jumpsuit.

Agree Boden belts are good.

Drywhiteplease · 09/05/2013 07:52

Oh good luck shop sounds exciting. Outfit sounds lovely

Drywhiteplease · 09/05/2013 07:54

I'm wearing today cobalt blue and black today....not looking much like Amber though Sad

Decameron · 09/05/2013 08:15

I love that combo, Drywhite, am sure you look great.

MarshaBrady · 09/05/2013 08:30

Good luck Shop love your outfit.

Dry sure you look fab.

Day off today, dh and I no dc. Will be nice!

blondambition · 09/05/2013 09:26

Shop good luck, love the sound of your outfit, v chic. Quick Q re the A Wang ts - how is the sizing? I am tempted as need a couple of off white basics. Is the muscle tank v oversized?

Dry cobalt is one of my fave colours, though am an Autumn so not supposed to wear it

I don't get to do much sleb spotting where I live but am v good friends with a famous sportsperson. Was once on children's quiz show hosted by Darren Day though Grin.

AmberNectarine · 09/05/2013 09:35

I'm wearing cobalt and black too drywhite

Annianni · 09/05/2013 09:39

Good luck Shop

The Gap skirt is nice QueenC, the size large touches the top of my feet when on.
I'm 5'7

I'll do links in a minute, shattered after trying clothes on.

BrandyAlexander · 09/05/2013 09:42

Morning all! I have a little anecdote for you. Ds overdid it on milk last night and bless him, he puked all over my suit as I was late so didn't get the chance to change. I felt very glam wiping the puke of my Armani jacket and dressGrin straight to the dry cleaner this morning! He's absolutely fine.

Shop that outfit sounds terrific.

Annianni · 09/05/2013 09:42

I'm wearing a grey Gap tee
Navy wide leg Swetty Betty yoga pants
And gold hav's

Sodding bin men were blocking the road when we went to school... so all the waiting cars saw me looking rough :(

foxysocks · 09/05/2013 09:44

good luck shop

enjoy marsha i love those (extremely rare!) days

cleaning and packing here for hols tomorrow. DC free for the morning and have organised playdate for bigger one so only DS and I this arvo, hopefully I can get him to help. give him a duster or something.

no purchases since the cobalt scarf but have virtual baskets ready to go before we leave tomorrow morning. just waiting to see if the bits I want go into the outnet weekend shop in tomorrow

foxysocks · 09/05/2013 09:46

oh no novice! armani puke. that's a good one to wheel out on his wedding day Grin

am wearing coral zoe k 'love' tee with bleached blue skinnies (james, from outnet clearance a few years ago - £18!). had R&B biker (yep, still in love) on for school run with vejas.

am seeing lots of neon trainers on the SR, clocked two this morning, love it.

QueenCadbury · 09/05/2013 09:53

It was me that saw kate moss. She's actually fairly ordinary looking irl but I love her more for that. She was with her daughter and Jamie. What shocked me is she's short (well not short exactly but she is by supermodel standards) and has bandy legs. Dh and friends had to stop me stalking her all way round the park Grin.

Trying to have a month off new purchases as I've got a couple of hours shopping in Birmingham at the beginning of July so I want to be able to justify to dh that I can buy stuff then. I've been whingeing lately that he's working so much but as he says I can't have him at home lots and have £80 tops. Fair point.

foxysocks · 09/05/2013 10:01

queenc i've learned to time my purchases with periods when DH is super busy or away a lot. i never keep things secret but timing is everything i find Smile

am LOVING the 'sales tactics' board, spaghetti!

shopafrolic · 09/05/2013 10:04

Sorry on BB so can't see back easily. Blond I bought M in the Wang tops. I'm size 12 on top with 32E chest and they both fit well. Not too fitted, not too baggy.
Anni are you feeling better?
Novice I got puked on last night by my friend's DD, not a good look
Marsha enjoy your day
Can London meeters PM me to let me know if you're coming? I need to adjust the table booking and just want to confirm with you all. Thanks!
Sat in car in rain waiting to go in. Feet are freezing!

Meant to say Wang tees are a slub fabric, lightweight and when new the slub rubs off a bit. Not sure if I'm making sense. Basically a lovely soft but textured fabric.
