Nice Amber.....waiting for a pic of David G in your blog!
Migonette who is Tat-Phoebe?

Off to put vest on....bit chilly up here today. Lots of comments about the Clarks snakeskin sandals today.....well pleased ( as my teenaged DS would say...when did "very" disappear from the English language?!)

mignonette · 11/06/2013 15:07

Sorry Drywhite

Tat-Phoebe is the Tatler employee on Made In Chelsea. There are so many Phoebes it feels, that I have to give them a handle.

I love the name of the MiC character called 'Sophia Money-Coutts.I'm having great fun thinking of some equivalents where I double barrel a company name with the product or image (irreverently) associated with it....

How about

Richard Hymen-Virgin

Drywhiteplease · 11/06/2013 15:34

MiC is one of the few reality shows I haven't become hooked on....after my Real Housewives of Beverly Hills addiction, I have decided to cut down and I have Mad Men season 5 to catch up on.......ooooh Don....

shoes

For hopefully

mignonette · 11/06/2013 15:59

I love RHoA. Outrageous behaviour and bling that is so alien to how I dress. But I love it anyway.
Where is Sherie?

I [heart] those shoes, Linus. They are such happy shoes. I think I would be twirling my ankle to catch a glimpse all day. I wore yellow multi patterned shoes one day to work and a patient said they lifted her spirits. Shoe therapy in mental health?

santamarianovella · 11/06/2013 16:11

I ordered these , i wanted these originally but can't see them going with anything in my closet,

mignonette · 11/06/2013 16:54

They seem quite versatile as a style and colour, Santa. They would look good with pretty much any style of pants except maybe bootleg/flares.

As for dresses, very versatile from shift dress to 1950's style fit and flare. They would suit most skirt styles too.

As for colours, apart from matchy matchy rose, pinks or greige shades they seem pretty flexible.
What do you have in mind?

mignonette · 11/06/2013 16:58

Sorry Santa got it wrong. I didn't see the second pair as being the less suitable ones.

I'd go for something quite out there I think. A pale sky blue dress or skirt, a print dress or skirt that tones or contrasts or good old jeans/pants with a contrasting top. White would look good too-a white modern shirtwaister dress or full white midi skirt.

shopafrolic · 11/06/2013 17:21

Lots of DvF shoes on Cocosa

Hello lovely Voguettes! Just waiting for my flight home. Big work thing all went really wellGrin i have had lots of compliments which was great. i was also complimented in how great my dresses wereGrin am bloomin knackered though! I have to share this as its so cool.....I had breakfast yesterday with the politician. He was lovely and told me not to be nervous about the speech. It was just us two and we had a really good chat. He complimented me after my speech.

mignonette · 11/06/2013 17:38

Well done Novice. Truly well done.

BrandyAlexander · 11/06/2013 17:46

Thank you mignonette. everyone here was so supportive to me when I was super stressed about the whole thing.Smile

Drywhiteplease · 11/06/2013 17:47

Hey Novice and welcome home, nearly.

MarshaBrady · 11/06/2013 17:49

Novice well done! I am so happy for you! really excellent.

santamarianovella · 11/06/2013 17:52

thanks mignonette the first flats are a safe choice but i feel they can go with pretty much anything.

novice wow,thats amazing ,you worked really hard for it.safe trip home Smile.

MarshaBrady · 11/06/2013 17:57

Love those Lanvins Santa. Gawd hope there are some left in the sales when I get paid .

shopafrolic · 11/06/2013 18:00

Yay Novice!! I knew you'd ace it. And how lovely was Mr Politician? That's really fab. I knew someone who'd done as much prep as you could never fail, and I bet the outfits boosted your confidence? Really well done. Wine (why is there not a champagne glass?!)

MarshaBrady · 11/06/2013 18:01

MiC is the fluff watched here, oh and the Apprentice. I looove Mad Men of course. Don is fab but gets bit of a bloat in Season 6. But still fabulous.

Linus those orange heels are gorgeous.

shopafrolic · 11/06/2013 18:02

And Prada shoes on Secret Sales

LinusDKD · 11/06/2013 18:47

Well done Novice! I bet you are so proud of what you have achieved!

santa loooove those Lanvins. I would have to go for the other pair as the colours suit the items in my wardrobe better. Oh, and would you look at that, they still have my size

I have ordered the DP maxi skirt dry linked and I might order the Splendid as well. Any UK sites that sell it? Otherwise I will have to order from Shopbop.

mignonette · 11/06/2013 18:56

Looking forward to 'The Secret Life Of Cats' on terrrestrial TV tomorrow night. So miss my cat who died last November and this prog will be bitter sweet reminder of all that has gone.

Here he is -
