Lovely boob shots blog photos Amber, that dress looks fabulous on you.

Hmm fringe ...years off me...Hmm

Grumpy and anyone else planning a trip to N Yorkks
amazing place
Nothing can really describe exactly what a magical place it is. If you have children it's a must, they love it. It's a garden filled by the owner, for his grandchildren originally, with grottos, mazes, wierd statues, nooks and crannies, surprise water features, under ground caves, stepping stones, tunnels etc...just an amazing garden set in beautiful countryside where adults and children can just explore ( some bits are a bit spooky) and run free ......love love love it .....I think it's only open in the summer months and best to book if you ever plan to go........

I've seen that stable place in Middleham....I think it's open to the public on Good Friday, apparently a great visit with horse swimming pool too! I'm always away at Easter so miss it........

Feeling slightly guilty about impulse leather purchase yesterday but excited to see it today ( hope a neighbour is in).....

Liberty, MrsR that'd be fab if you can make it to next one.

Dry great jacket.

Has any used a dress agency in London?

I feel a bit guilty about expensive dresses in wardrobe not being used. Not sure if I can face eBay.

MarshaBrady · 20/05/2013 09:30

Lovely bangle Linus.

AmberNectarine · 20/05/2013 10:16

Honestly, you lot make me feel like Jordan! I do look normal IRL - I promise!

Annianni · 20/05/2013 10:31

More Wang on the outnet...

Lots of vests, that twisty skirt in a nice pale stripe... And a beautiful mini rocco.

Annianni · 20/05/2013 11:15

Me again...

Is anyone a 26 in Goldsign?

shopafrolic · 20/05/2013 11:17

I wish Anni !

Hopefully · 20/05/2013 11:23

My Wang skirt came on the weekend and is gorgeous, but I'm glad the medium purple appeared on there on Friday and is on its way - the small is just a wee bit small on me! (am a large 10/small 12)

Have also got a big figleaves order waiting for a trying on session - I was down to one well fitting bra, and felt it probably deserved a friend.

Also have just bought the weirdest necklace from Etsy, and I bloody love it. It's this thing, and as a committed scarf addict, it feels nice and scarfey without being remotely hot in summer.

i always wanted to use one of those marsha,but got discouraged after reading their terms.
ebay is still your best shot,can you find someone to sell your stuff for you?i sold some bags through a friend of dh,it took some time, but they were sold at the end.

MarshaBrady · 20/05/2013 12:27

Thanks Santa. Ebay probably is the best bet. I will try and muster the energy!

Anni Goldsigns sound good, is it a good discount? Feel free to pm me! Grin

Annianni · 20/05/2013 12:43

Good timing Marsha... pm sent.

Just done the shred while ds2 napped.
It hurt.
Couldn't speak for a while.
Wobbly legs and everything.

I am so unfit.

Did it though :o

Not commenting on the jumping jacks

MarshaBrady · 20/05/2013 13:26

Thanks Anni they look great, have pm'd.

I'm still Waiting for Wang.

BrandyAlexander · 20/05/2013 13:30

I am a fantastic walking cliche today. I am at a soft play centre wearing trackie bottoms, sweater and trainers. Hair scraped back into a high ponytail. No jewelry (including my engagement and wedding rings) except for Tiffanys diamond studs which I have worn for last few days. It's like nostalgia back to my new mother days Grin

foxysocks · 20/05/2013 13:33

my Wang is here

but just ate a piece of cake and had a cup of tea so am lying down digesting, in the manner of a cobra. will try on later.

DvF shoes on way back and will despatch my new pair tomorrow, appaz. hurrah! they are totes delish, def wearing out for our anniversary meal next week. hopefully will unwrap the lovely j crew jacket that day too

6th July could work pour moi Smile, glad you all had fun at the weekend.

today am wearing grey j crew tank, half tucked into rolled up boyfriend jeans with the neon pink skinny belt. love it! also have teal fine knit cardi on in the house, wore with choc leather biker for SR.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 20/05/2013 13:37

Afternoon all. Bonkers day in the Grumpy household, so I'm just dropping by (following DH's meltdown) to enquire after decent menswear brands/shops. Our usual 'go-tos' are a bit disappointing of late and DH just threw a total hissy fit because he doesn't like any of his trousers, poor baby Wink. He is very slender of leg and hip and most trousers just bag off him. He has some gorgeous tobacco coloured very slim jeans from Jack Wills, but when I bought him the navy version, they were glued to him a la Mick Jagger (not a good look). Can anyone suggest a good, narrow trouser/jeans, not to 'suit-y'?

libertychick · 20/05/2013 13:59

Can't help with the men's trousers Grumpy DH likes them bootcut!

Yes Dry it was very hot yesterday ? I didn?t buy a dress! No chance to get into the shops at all. DD got to take her tights off though for running around the park in Ilkley for what feels like the first time this year. Looks like lovely shopping in York ? lucky you! Thanks for the link to the Forbidden Garden - sounds wonderful.

After a lovely first day though it has all gone tits up. DD up all night vomiting, cannot believe a child that small could have so much in her stomach. It was awful, all her bedding covered, my pj's, the clothes I changed her in to after the first bout etc - had to drop off a huge bag full to a local laundrette today. No sleep for anyone as whenever she did doze last night it was on top of me and every time she threw up she insisted on Daddy to help out too. She's crashed out asleep now and so is DH!

OneLittleLady · 20/05/2013 14:01

Good for you anni the shred really does hurt but it works! I'm home alone again as DP is away for the night. I'm bored already so am online window shopping. Loving the Vivienne Westwood collection, sadly I'm too poor to buy any of it! Still, I've got my pinterest board for ideas for DP, he just says pin everything to give him some clues for xmas and birthdays Smile

Sleepwhenidie · 20/05/2013 14:32

Hi Anni and Marsha I would be interested in the Goldsigns too if not snapped up please!

Love the new leather jacket Dry!

Grumpy it sounds like your DH is a similar shape to mine and he (and I, I have lost the will) seems to have given up searching for those elusive trousers, he either wears smart jeans or a suit Smile. So let me know if you find anything.

Liberty Sad at DD being so ill, horrible for all involved...glad you had a good break though.

Novice after seeing how elegant and glam you are on Saturday I can't picture you out and about in trackie bottoms Shock!

I got my sale preview thing from MW this morning, so am trawling through what looks good Smile.

Thanks for thoughts on Gemma A Shop, she is stunning isn't she. With that look in mind I saw this in Style magazine yesterday and am pondering...not sure if it looks bit plasticky though, what do you guys think? Would style with white shirt/blouse and stilettos - god knows where I would then go tho Grin!

Shop - glad your leather jacket issue is getting sorted, no more than you should expect. My top on Saturday was a Zadig one, one of the very hard working items I mentioned on here last week Smile

OneLittleLady · 20/05/2013 15:09

Blood tests have all come back normal. Thyroid levels are still borderline though. Nurse says my medication is causing both the tiredness and the weight gain. She says to force myself to stay awake as long as I can and to eat healthy food and exercise as much as possible. I don't exactly mind being fat if it means I'm well, I just wasn't expecting to put quite so much weight on IYSWIM.

shopafrolic · 20/05/2013 15:26

Sleep Still a bit plasticky for my liking but you're edgier than me so could totally carry it off. Not sure what size you are (I guess smaller than this) but have you seen this I love it but am not supposed to wear black :(
Loved the Zadig top (any links?)
Glad bloods are normal One
Liberty sending hugs. Your poor DD - you're having a run of bad luck...... hope everyone feels better soon.
Anni well done on the Shred, my friend and I sat on the sofa and ate chocolate to watch it - I have no intention of actually doing it.
Grumpy My man is chunky of thigh so I'm no use either, sorry.
I did an hour of cardio this morning - first time I've managed that in about 3 years so I'm pleased. Then I walked the dogs. My legs hurt.

OneLittleLady · 20/05/2013 15:29

That skirts lovely shop shame it isn't available in a size big enough to fit me, the draping on it would have been great for disguising my tummy. Will keep an eye out for similar though, I think it's something that could really work with my body shape, colouring and general gothy look
