MN Vogue - vol 13

[shopafrolic]

It might be unlucky for some but vol 13 is open to all who want to chat style, beauty and much more besides. Continued on from here

[OneLittleLady]

Jumping on the coral lipstick bandwagon, I have a great one by Dainty Doll, it's slightly frosted so it indulges my secretly longing for the 90's and my silver satin trousers side I bought two in one go as I heard the brand is being discontinued

[foxysocks]

have ordered these to try.

[foxysocks]

loads of great discounts on asos today - C/E, chinti and parker, sam edelman etc

[LinusDKD]

Shop which CC cream is it? I wanted to buy the moisture surge CC cream but they don't sell that one here, so I went for the superdefense one and I am very impressed with it.

A couple of months ago the lady at the Chanel counter tried to sell me a coral lipstick which looked good on me, but as the weather was horrible I wasn't in the mood to buy it.

Mignonette many years ago I saw a documentary about a little old lady who handmade the braiding on Chanel jackets etc. It was fascinating to watch how she braided strand after strand on this ancient machine with her gnarled old fingers, somewhere on a old farm in the French countryside.

She was a bit of a tartar from what I can remember and wasn't taking any nonsense from the interviewer.

Foxy

Those Cargo's are well...Foxy (sorry could not resist that)...

[shopafrolic]

CC is the moisture surge by Clinique - and I use the Moisture Surge cream beneath it as I have v dry skin.
If you want a sheer orangey coral that is quick to apply then this is also v good
Thanks Foxy DH has only ever apologised to me twice since we met so I'm not holding out hope but I think you're right and it's just the pressure of being pulled in all directions. And YY Mignonette your explanation as to why I can't tell RL friends is spot on!

[OneLittleLady]

I don't mind a bit of 90's nostalgia so long as I don't try and attempt a pair of camouflage, bootcut elasticated leggings/trousers with matching vest again

[foxysocks]

ooo one that outfit sounds right up my street . i think bootcut AND camo is a step too far in the 00s

coral is awful on me, i def can't join in with that chat i'm afraid

mignon they are so me, aren't they? i know DH is going to roll his eyes and send me back into topshop. I always used to get my combats from there.

shop even if you don't get the words, sometimes men (and women!) find it easier to say sorry through actions, iykwim? big hugs. x

[shopafrolic]

Maybe that's why I spent the morning taking everything to the dump then Foxy I'm such an old romantic

[shopafrolic]

Love the combats Foxy we can meet dressed as members of All Saints!

[shopafrolic]

Linus how's your little one now?

[OneLittleLady]

I swear, I was a stylish teen. bright orange bootcut jeans, lime green ones as well. Peg leg silver satin trousers paired with a peach button through short sleeve cardigan.......................Yes, I was stylish

[QueenCadbury]

You've all made me nostalgic for the 90s. How I loved my 501s, docs and long floaty laura Ashley skirts with lots of beads round my neck.

[foxysocks]

haha yep you are ON shop. and you too queenc, dig them out for our coffee date lol

not sure i'll keep them tbh, they are more than i wanted to spend (FP £265! ) but will try them on and see.

anyone watching the tennis? OMFG. amazing effort from marcis.

[shopafrolic]

Am trying to watch it Foxy
DS keeps begging me for "Thomas television"

[foxysocks]

have managed to burn full pan of rice as so was distracted by tennis. whoops.

[LinusDKD]

DS is fine shop, thanks for asking. He looks like a current bun with all his scabby spots but otherwise he's well.

DD has been having a rash on her back for the last two weeks which we thought was heat rash (it didn't seem to bother her) but tonight we noticed bigger patches so I'll call the pediatrician tomorrow.

She has been very fretful all afternoon which isn't like her. It doesn't look like chicken pox though but maybe it's something else.

I wore my beloved Jimmies today (crap weather) with the yellow breton and cobalt Gigis and I felt really stylish. I could really do with a cobalt bag but all the ones I like are £££.

And the DP navy maxi tube skirt arrived and it is lovely. I forgot who recommended it to me but thanks! I will have to wear no vpl knickers with the skirt though.

I bought two Essie nail polishes I repinned from QueenC and I love them. The colours are a very autumnal/wintry so I will have to wait to wear them. Maybe by then I will have mastered the dyi manicure...

[LinusDKD]

A rice cooker is the answer Foxy.

DH says it's the best present I've ever bought him.

[QueenCadbury]

I should know better than to enter into aibu threads. I'm having to defend myself and other parents who like to do a collection. It's like the bench thread all over again

[OneLittleLady]

I daren't go into AIBU, I've heard BAD things about that board [scared]

[LinusDKD]

I used to read AIBU and it nearly put me off MN altogether, so now I don't anymore.

Go Steve Darcis!

[QueenCadbury]

Yep one it is bad. Tbh when I typed my opinion I knew I'd get a flaming but I find it so tiresome on MN that you have to justify your spending. It sometimes feels on here that if you have money then you must also be a heartless bitch

[Drywhiteplease]

One step away from AIBU ... Unless you are very chilled and thick skinned, it's vicious.
mig good god, how are you? You poor thing, that's horrendous. Hopefully the knock on the head hasn't affected the fashion part of your brain!
Shop I'm going to have to pm you.....late in the day I know

[Drywhiteplease]

Oh and a child said to me today " Mrs Dry my granny has your scarf"!!!! Bloody hell, sodding M and S ........ Must have a v chic Granny

[QueenCadbury]

linus your outfit sounds lovely. I love your yellow Breton. And I'm very flattered that you bought my nail polishes!

I bought this mavala purple today.
