MN Vogue Vol 11

[Decameron]

Continuing from here...

Sorry to hear about holiday woes sleep - hope it picks up for you!

I wore my HoF stripy maxi (altered so it is now higher cut, feel much better) with last years nude/neon orange Topshop sandals and a grey Demylee drapey cardi. Had my DB, DSIL and their two boys over. The kids has a wonderful time and I ate far too much! Am going to get back on Ripped in 30 this week, far too much wobble going on!

Good morning!

This morning I got woken up by DH and DS with a present for our wedding anniversary. Apparently 7 years is wool so I got a cashmere and silk cardigan and a cashmere scarf. So appropriate in this foul weather!

sleep it is such a dissapointment when your holiday accomodation isn't what you expected.

We rented a house in Provence last year and it was horrible (even though it was £££).
And then they tried to burgle us twice in as many days, so if it hadn't been for the fact that we shared the house with our friends we would have packed up and gone home. (I was heavily pregnant with DD so already feeling a bit fragile)

If you do decide to go to Barcelona you will definitely find some good shopping opportunities. You really have to go to Zara in Spain as they seem to have nicer things than in the rest of Europe.

Dd and I are the only ones up again. Feeling fragile and hoarse after an evening of karaoke!

sleep sorry to hear about your holiday. Hope you get something better sorted.

Going back to Jessie j, I read somewhere on MN so must be true that her lovely shiny bob was in fact a wig and that she always had a shaved head hence why you didn't see her shave it off properly.

Looks like it's going to be another sunny day here. Shame I will need cover up as I stupidly burnt my arm yesterday.

Morning fellow early risers! Sleep, so sorry to hear about your holiday so far. Good thing you can shift to Barcelona if it doesn't improve. Fingers crossed either way.

So.... Fessing up to my shopping frenzy yesterday .....I bought quite a few things.

Michael Kors cowl twist dress

helmut lang knitted jumper

Vivienne Westwood anglomania toga top

cropped chunky knit by T by Alexander Wang

emilio Pucci cardigan. Has been on my want list for about 3 months.

Brian Atwood Dolores leather cage sandals. I am not sure about this, but is the only caged sandals at 4" and below. If I don't like it, it's going back.

lareina pumps by kurt Geiger. Taking a punt on this too as its a size 4 and I am either a 3 or 3.5 so if don't work with insoles then back it goes.

Ummm, theres a few more, but you might think i am a complete loon if i link them all. Hiding the credit card today!

Can't see the Pucci but the rest looks fab! ESP like the helmut knit. Good work novice, I feel better about my outnet splurge now lol

Oh silly me, Foxy! I deleted the pin when i moved it off my want list. Here it is Pucci cardi

Morning, lovely sunshine.

Novice I love all of it. The colour of the wang is scrumptious. I really like the sandals.

Hope the weather improves Sleep, and you can move to Barcelona. I really need good weather on holidays too.

Gorgeous novice. Agree with marsha that wang (fnar) is beautiful

It's our 7th tomorrow Linus, happy anniversary! Good shopping from your DH

Ha I know, it's getting harder to write it

Happy anniversary Linus and to you for tomorrow Foxy.

Thanks ladies its all your fault really. I would never have looked at the wang and helmut lang without this fab thread.

I was guiltily thinking I was telling Shop last week that I dont have a sales wish list and that I had lost my shopping mojo

Morning Wang lovers
Such a beautiful day again today - BBQ and garden time for us today.
Lovely things Novice love the cage sandals and the VW top especially.
Happy anniversary Linus and to Foxy for tomorrow
I set up a Hasbeen thread last night - not too many replies so I reckon they're for people way younger than me who were out partying the night away. Will try some when I'm next out and about having a quiet shopping trip i.e. never!
Continuing the Jessie chat I loved her jumpsuit and earrings combo

Obviously our little chat got you right back on it Novice! No need for a list when you can shop like that! :)

Ooh forgot to say .....happy anniversary to Linus and Foxy.

What's everyone up to today? We are thinking of doing nothing for a change. Just chilling at home as we are always rushing around. I have a few chores to do. I spent last night booking activities for our centre parcs holiday, I felt like a school planner!

Hehe Novice great to have you on here.

Shop try the Hasbeens see how they feel. They probably go completely against my clothing personality, so I know what you mean about too boho. But you may find they work well.

What I really want are not exactly day to day wear!

They are gorgeous Shop.

The dc are at the gps so we are relaxing big time.

Marsha

Hi Shop, Thanks for the pep talk dh doesn't know yet. This is my 3rd one this year.

Those shoes you linked are lovely.

Novice that is some serious shopping, respect!

foxy happy anniversary tomorrow. We had our civil wedding 7 years ago today in London and then a church wedding a couple of weeks later in my home country. Maybe I will get another present then?

shop lovely sandals.

I remember Jessie J on the Graham Norton Show a couple of years back and when Diane Kruger (another style crush of mine) complimented her hair she said it wasn't a wig. But maybe she was fibbing because it does look too perfect almost.

So Wangettes - how / where can I find me some of these Alexander Wang safari sandals?

Hello ! I made it to the deepest part of down south after an epic journey! Am feeling a little faint, but I'm sure ill acclimatise ! Looking after poorly, elderly relatives is quite tiring but has improved considerably since they were able to get to the wine cellar even without the stenna stair lift and open some rather delicious Chateau Neuf du Pape !.....pissed....moi?
Anyway, oh joy, despit being in the veritable back and beyond I have found wifi to keep me sane!!!!
Shop i love the Atterly Rd sandals, with jeans, why not?
Novice I want everything you have bought. I ESP adore the cage sandals, the VW top, the Puccini cardi was expecting crazy swirly patterns and the Wand jumper is one of my fav colours.
Happy anniversary Linus and Foxy. Linus what a thoughtful pressie from your DH off to check what 16 yrs is so I can drop unsubtle hints
Amber I love that pic of you (on your wedding day?) on your profile.....you looked really beautiful.

Right, naps all round, I'm off down the cellar to see what I can find

Oh yes, was wearing a nice outfit but completely ruined by stripy apron I've had over it !!!!!!!!

Fab shopping novice. I utterly adore those cage sandals.

Happy anniversary linus and foxy.

Early night tonight. Am far too old for 2 nights drinking .

Dry, sounds like fun!

I will report back on the purchases especially the caged sandals. Dh will have to take me out a lot to get cpw down.

I have a basket of stuff with John Lewis and with M&S but now the horse has bolted (almost with the credit card!) i am hesitating on pressing the button (yes, I am strange)
