I actually sighed with relief and happiness when I finally sat down at 11am with a coffee and opened my laptop this morning. both rugrats out of my hands for first time since sunday morning.

[MrsRadicchio]

Faddy how about one of these dresses for your wedding party?

these

[santamarianovella]

the tods i have are all my size so i think you can,but if your in doubt its better to order two sizes just in case.

[FaddyPeony]

Lovely, MrsRadicchio, thank you for the link! I'd never heard of this brand. I'm loving the drop waists. I guess I'm not really sure what I'm after. I didn't wear white on my wedding day so perhaps I will end up plumping for a short white summer dress of some kind. There's a pretty Vanessa Bruno number in the Matches sale but at around five hundred quid it's well over budget. I'm also looking at a beaded, backless Reiss dress on Ebay and there is a (white!) RED Valentino shift dress on the Outnet.

There is also the little matter of my motor tax bill coming up, though, so I must keep a cool head.

In other news, the Topshop order has arrived - the bright pink skirt is a winner! I sort of thought I'd be sending it straight back, but I love it. Great shape and it has perfectly positioned pockets. I do love a skirt with pockets. The fine-knit grey sweater looks good with it, and I think maybe a skinny navy polo neck might be good for A/W.

foxy I love this

[QueenCadbury]

coral rather than raspberry

[QueenCadbury]

red

[QueenCadbury]

blue again

[libertychick]

MrsR thank you for the grey sweater link - it does look perfect! The Matches website keeps going down though and I am in meetings for rest of today (sigh) - just have to cross my fingers and hope it's still there later....

[foxysocks]

yep matches totes broken. overload after they sent the sales email is my guess.

queenc thanks so much, I love the cobalt but not keen on tassles. zara is on my boycott list after reading about their horrifically unethical practices. i like the coral BR one but not sure re: perforations. sorry i am SO fussy! I will look later once get a bit more time

I would love a raspberry rocco or a blue celine. oh for more cold hard cash in my life lol.

[QueenCadbury]

perfect !!

[santamarianovella]

liberty what are you after? i remember you liking the AH bag, its not on sale. or maybe it soldout.

foxy i think amber mentioned that her rocco is not hardwearing.

[foxysocks]

waaaah I actually just snorted laughing. naughty queenc

[libertychick]

Santa I had a look for the AH bag and saw it's not there. In reality though as I already have a black bag I like it would probably be better to buy something in a colour like blue or pink. I had put the grey sweater MrsR linked in my basket but then the site went down. Time to think though is a good thing - I had decided I would not buy in the summer sales this year (this is hard, so hard to stick to!!) so happy to wait and see later.

[LinusDKD]

I only had an AV tee in my basket and I was going to add the flats (and maybe a Marant jacket) when the site went down and it has been down since.

Will check again later.

[AmberNectarine]

Have resisted the Matches sale so far. Am bringing the kids up to town on Friday so instead to do Selfies smash and grab.

[shopafrolic]

So Matches is till broken then?
Have had a fab morning watching the Guffalo's Child at the theatre with DS and two of his little mates. He's gone for his nap clutching the mouse toy I bought him with a huge smile on his face.
I really wanted a McQ tank but by the time I decided to commit my size had sold out on Matches and Harvey Nics. I'm not sure where else I might track one down in the sale. this was the one I wanted Must stop dithering!

[shopafrolic]

*still!

[santamarianovella]

shop i have one in 8 they are big not fitted at all,they r sold out in luisa via Roma too,your best luck would be selfridges,or harrods if you have the power to endure their sales.

[santamarianovella]

I'm debating a clutch by McQueen ,always wanted one .

[McNally]

Grrrrrr at Matches site being down now I've had a chance to have a look.

Ahhhh, your DS sounds very sweet shop.

My Theory dress is going back. It was honestly so dull looking that I could barely be bothered to try it on. I'm sure it looks lovely on some people but I looked like I worked on a hotel reception or something.

Will catch up On links shortly.

Congrats on lovely comments liberty.

[shopafrolic]

So frustrating not being able to look at all the Matches links!

[libertychick]

Selfies sale with kids in tow is true dedication to the cause Amber. I'd rather chew my own arm off

[santamarianovella]

is amber really going to selfridges sale with her dcs!
