Foxy I'm going to return mine without even wearing them after comments here, and replace with the Me&Em version (which is cheaper anyway). I managed to buy the khaki in the wrong size [doofus icon], and the white has a hole in it from the security tag (grrr).

Sorry to answer and run. At some point hopefully my life will slow down for a second so I can properly take in everyone's comments and links and reply properly.

AmberNectarine · 02/07/2013 11:18

I sort of might have ordered a Jimmy Choo clutch from NaP.

shopafrolic · 02/07/2013 11:24

Congrats on DD's promotion Mig
Tut Amber slippy fingers? Grin

foxysocks · 02/07/2013 11:32

Amber I love your accidents! Link?

Thanks carrie and shop- have decided against replacing in ground ms I don't love love it in same way I love my Wang (bwahaha). Am sure are better cobalt tees out there e wb if I wait till next yr.

Looked at lots of whistles and unimpressed v see through materials and weak looking stitching. Tried on some Lauren knits and looked at lots of bags but nothing I love so going home empty handed.

Am on a sofa whilst DH looks at electrical stuff snore snore. Will reply more later.

Queen C just thought I should have mailed to say was coming! Sorry. X

AmberNectarine · 02/07/2013 11:32

I know shop. Shit happens.

foxysocks · 02/07/2013 11:33

Oof I am very bad at typing on phone! Sorry for typos

AmberNectarine · 02/07/2013 11:34

Here she is!

Good call foxy seam back tees are nice shape but shite quality!

santamarianovella · 02/07/2013 11:47

yay shop and foxy,and i would use the refund for something else.

turq we are fans of paige denim which one did you get?

dry you know your super stylish when a teenager compliments you on your clothesGrin i would keep an eye on nancy if i were you.

mig im not a big fan of cavalli or versace either,but if you want to attract men then you could never go wrong with them,they scream sex .but if you want to impress your girlfriends then prada is your friend.
and well done to your DD,

nice amber

shopafrolic · 02/07/2013 11:47

Nice shit that happened Amber

AmberNectarine · 02/07/2013 11:57

Trufax Shop

shopafrolic · 02/07/2013 12:25

So what would one wear if one wanted to impress girlfriends but also let your DH know that you can scream sex behind closed doors Santa Grin

shopafrolic · 02/07/2013 12:28

So the necklaces have arrived and obviously I like the 2 most expensive ones of the 3. Can you guys vote please? I love them both...
number 1 - sits v close to the neck
number 2 - sits slightly lower

QueenCadbury · 02/07/2013 12:40

shop no1 for me but depends how they sit on you and your clothes.

foxy no worries, I had a date with tesco this morning. A very expensive date. £285 to be precise (and that only included 2 bottles of wine!)

amber I love the way you sort of buy something!

mig and others, I'm very impressed with your knowledge of designers. I wouldn't know a Prada from a Versace if they hit me in the face Grin.

Thanks for all the shoe links. It's opened my mind to lots of different possibilities when I go shopping. Non black shoes are out of my comfort zone!

Hormones are going crazy again. Feeling nauseous yet eating my body weight in chocolate.

MrsRadicchio · 02/07/2013 12:43

I prefer number 1 shop

I didn't say at the time but I lurved the stella and dot one you linked to aswell!

MrsRadicchio · 02/07/2013 12:45

Amber that Charlotte Olympia clutch you blogged about is also heavily discounted now.

santamarianovella · 02/07/2013 12:54

Trashy llingerie shop Wink
I showed a picture of Emmanuel alt to DH and a couple of his friends and they all agreed that she is pretty but needs to tone down the masculinity factor a notch.
And for the record I don't own any cavalli or Versace,
Another vote for number 1, will work well with summer or winter clothing.

Sleepwhenidie · 02/07/2013 12:57

That would be an off the shoulder Prada wouldn't it Shop Wink

You make me laugh Amber-how many days of that shopping ban did you manage Hmm? Forgive me if I doubt your ability to stay the course (not that I ever could either Smile). Lovely bag!

I am running around like a fool this week, DS1 finishes school for holidays at midday tomorrow, dd has sports day Thursday and it is her school summer fair on Sunday. A couple of years ago I made the mistake of mounting a huge campaign locally to get businesses to donate stuff to the fair for auction/raffle. Changed the game completely wrt funds raised. Now of course I am expected to do it every year but no longer have the time I did then, so it's a bit of a headache!

Missed DHL with NAP order yesterday . Got a smart dinner tonight with DH that I was thinking of wearing red pinterest.com/pin/320600067193403336/ to but a few weeks ago I had a bit of a health scare (all fine now) and the stress caused my psoriasis to flare up on my back and sides, the marks are still there so not great with such a revealing dress Sad...so not sure what to go for....maybe the SBC dress in my NAP order could work if it arrives in time...

Welcome Turquoise and mrssheep, do stay!

shopafrolic · 02/07/2013 13:01

What do people where to school governors type meetings please? Can I get away with smart jeans and a blazer?

foxysocks · 02/07/2013 13:03

everytime I see that toucan clutch i think of amber

santamarianovella · 02/07/2013 13:04

That would be trashy lingerie under your prada dress shop.Grin

sleep the red dress is gorgeous and sorry to hear about your health scare, hope you get your SBC dress,it looks like it could work

McNally · 02/07/2013 13:14

Another vote for necklace number 1 shop.

That red dress is absolutely gorgeous sleep. Am very glad your health scare was ok. Enjoy your dinner. Hope the order arrives in time...

Grin at trashy lingerie under Prada.

Sleepwhenidie · 02/07/2013 13:17

DH is a governor Shop, jeans and blazer fine Smile

AmberNectarine · 02/07/2013 13:18

Oh ye of little faith sleep, my ban starts on 22 July (150 days challenge) so I am free to shop for nearly 3 weeks!

MrsR I spotted it, and it was a close call between that and the JC but I thought the toucan was pretty summer-limiting. If it happens to be reduced further, I may reconsider!

foxysocks · 02/07/2013 13:18

sorry you've been stressed sleep, I hope you get your NaP parcel. which dress did you order?

that sounds fine to me shop, the school meeting outfit I mean

queenc hug for you. I felt AWFUL last week, teaching was the hardest thing ever. it will pass. have a nice cup of tea. (so british). xx

foxysocks · 02/07/2013 13:19

yep I prefer no one too shop. the gold rather than big stones one.
