santa your experience pounds awful....so distressing to see your child hurt ESP when blood is involved, hope you're having a stiff drink now. Your Dd will forget all about it tomorrow, hope you can. ((((Hug))))

Since I'm still on a fashion high, ((((hug))) do for marsha too,it will be ok

MarshaBrady · 16/06/2013 21:31

Ah thanks guys I'm getting jittery thinking about how I'll feel next Sunday! Grin.

Oh yes what to wear have started thinking about it, I'm not sure on shoes, ballet flats or Kors heels (not too high). It's not very formal. Will build outfit upwards!

shopafrolic · 16/06/2013 21:35

All the best outfits are planned around shoes.
I'm catching up on the Graham Norton Show - Henry Cavill is still as lovely as ever

I think he looked amazing in The Tudors, looks so different now

santamarianovella · 16/06/2013 21:49

thanks everyone,she is much better,obviously taking advantage of the extra attention everyone is paying her!

linus the jpg birkins you mentioned are the shoulder ones.they were very popular,

shop kissing chanel is totally acceptable to me,

marsha relax im sure you will ace it,

after tucking the DCS,i started looking at pins of celebs at airports,and i think that jen aniston gets it right all the time .very relaxed and luxe style,and of course all the victoria secret models look awesome while flying.

Santa I kept leaning past my DH to catch a glimpse of the bag. It finally clicked it was 100% the real deal when she wiped the bar down before putting it on the bar, logo facing outwards and kept her hand on it ALL night! I don't think I could handle the pressure owning that bag. The thing was her outfit was so classic it bordered on dull! She had beautiful hair, but a long grey maxi skirt, white tee and black blazer. Not very structured. It was as though she'd dressed for the bag, and not that the bag enhanced her outfit IYSWIM........

santamarianovella · 16/06/2013 22:19

shop i have seen this look a lot lately,maxi +tee+blazer+chanel in an off beat color, not a huge fan of it, and i do agree there must be some pressure in owning a bag that costs well over 2 grand!

that graham norton episode was amazing, russell is hilarious and still looks so good!, i agree with dry henry looks different now,still good looking but not like the tudor days, he was soooo hot back then ! there was a particular scene that my friends and i were like WOW! we must have watched it a thousand times!

Drywhiteplease · 16/06/2013 22:45

I loved GN too. Russell is my son's hero ( big Gladiator fan) and he didnt let us down. Henry stole the show in the Tudors....DS saw Man of Steel of Sat, said it was v good,wanted to go but not cool having Mum hanging around!
Love the Chanel lady wiping the counter down before placing her bag on it....sort of thing I'd do, but I'd have an anti bac wipe!!

BrandyAlexander · 17/06/2013 03:20

Hi everyone! Am stateside now (east coast).

Santa, poor you and dd. glad she's betterThanks

QueenC, sorry was in the air! No, the Kaliko tops aren't clingy. I am a 6/8, 28E. Kaliko don't do a 6 so I buy an 8 and find them slightly loose, I think if I was a perfect 8 then they would be slightly less flappy, so should be great on you. Which one did you get?

Marsha, I will be sending you positive vibes all week.

Dry, great great bagGrin smythson nancy one of the best bags ever. I have it in red and yellow. I was v tempted by the blue when it first came out. Please give it a good stroke for me!

I always dress comfortably when I travel. Drives my mother insane who likes to dress up to the nines. She goes to the hairdressers before and has a mani and pedi before flying. Dresses like she's off to a party and in make up. I am definitely at the opposite end of the scaleGrin I also don't do make up other than tinted lip balm, moisturise mid flight and at the end too.

NaP sale has started!

McNally · 17/06/2013 06:53

Beautiful bag dry. Gorgeous colour.

libertychick · 17/06/2013 07:05

MOrning all - Thanks for the early tip off Linus I have just had a wobbly moment looking at the NAP sale - tempted by the IM Ariana and the ZK Born Wild sweater but I have resisted (save for the Burberry) Also I am suddenly fat - 2.5kg gained in last month. Trying to psyche myself up to - you know - eat less, move more, so bloody boring!

QueenCadbury · 17/06/2013 07:38

Morning. santa sorry,in the excitement t ordering tops I forgot to send a hug for you and dd.

liberty the shred is pretty amazing. I can already feel that things are firming up although I haven't lost any weightbut I eat like a pig

novice I got green, blue and purple. I won't keep them all honest and I ordered 8s and 10s. The green which I really like the look of was only available in a 10 so hoping it won't be too big.

shop love the chanel story. Maybe after buying the bag she can't afford nice clothes Grin. I don't think I really could ever own something like that as I'm too precious. Even when dd got chocolate on my new bag I was feeling annoyed and anxious and that was only £69!

MarshaBrady · 17/06/2013 07:41

Good tip off *

good one on Burberry saving Liberty.

Foxy have sent early morning pm .

MarshaBrady · 17/06/2013 07:42

Linus -where'd your name go.

MarshaBrady · 17/06/2013 07:43

In my post that is.

Sleepwhenidie · 17/06/2013 07:48

Morning everyone, thanks for NAP tip off, just jumped on there but it seems to be behaving much like Matches site the other day Hmm. Also my coveted Gucci top is NOT reduced Angry

Glad you got there safely Novice, have a good trip!

Shop I love the 2.55 too but would a) also be terribly anxious about it and b) it would irritate the hell out of me having people's starting point to think it is probably a fake Grin

shopafrolic · 17/06/2013 08:06

Aaaarrrrggggh trying to buy the Arty and it keeps crashing!

shopafrolic · 17/06/2013 08:16

I've spoken to customer services, nobody can buy anything. The whole site's down and they're trying to fix it.

They've got my number to call me back about my order, but I'm not holding my breath.

Nice man said they were swamped with calls.

Sleepwhenidie · 17/06/2013 08:18

Right, now have to get myself and DC's ready for school run [frustrated]!
