Crap, I can't see the picture but it did show when I previewed my message.

Can you see it?

OneLittleLady · 04/07/2013 20:13

I can see it and it looks fab. It should fit as even though I'm norky, I'm smaller on my top half than my bottom half. Will Pm you in a sec with address Thanks

LinusDKD · 04/07/2013 20:20

Sold!

santamarianovella · 04/07/2013 20:34

Congrats sleep

linus we had sports day in the school I went to,but they are not like the one you get here,it's fun attending sports day here. I got a sticker last year for competing Grin.

I'm still working on my list, I love this iro jacket,I like the styling here,but how else would u style it or wear it with.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 04/07/2013 20:35

Woohoo! Well done on the boots Anni - about bloody time!

I'm miffed that I'm still awaiting my Equipment shirt, T&J bracelet, Toothpick jeans and All Saints Dita dress. What's taking them so long?

Missoni espadrilles arrived today and, while a fab colour etc, look a bit...weird. At first I thought I'd put them on the wrong feet, but it seems they are both the same and don't have an obvious 'left' and 'right'. I still like them, so will just have to get used to them. Have also bought DD2 some Scotch R'Belle and Scotch Shrunk bits from Secret Sales in addition to a Melissa Odabash Kids kaftan in navy with pompoms. She'll be the most stylish 9yo on the beach.

shopafrolic · 04/07/2013 20:39

Which Equipment shirt did you order Grumpy?

BrandyAlexander · 04/07/2013 21:06

Stress. I returned a whole load of stuff to Selfridges a couple of weeks ago. Including the Pucci £325 cardi (full value was £650) which arrived filthy. They haven't refunded me yet because they have sent it to a branch specialist to review and couldn't be arsed to contact me to give me an update. In the meanwhile this item has held up refunding all the other things, which is about £2k.Angry really shoddy service.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 04/07/2013 21:10

this one shop

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 04/07/2013 21:27

Just had a blip from the spending ban to buy this white belt. Couldn't help it. Sorry.

shopafrolic · 04/07/2013 22:05

Lovely Grumpy.
Novice out them on Facebook or Twitter - that'll get things moving! That's atrocious.

libertychick · 04/07/2013 22:27

That is outrageous Novice.
Grin at Grumpy's flexible ban (not that I can talk) - love the shirt - gorgeous colour.

Anni well done on the boots. I will check them out next time I am near All Saints - look a wee bit high for me.

I am so pleased with my M&S white trousers - just had a trying on session and they work with lots of different things.

Drywhiteplease · 04/07/2013 22:38

Novice that's really bad

liberty did you link the white trousers ?

shopafrolic · 04/07/2013 22:42

Can someone PM me the latest on Mignonette please? If you're around Mig then I'm thinking of you x

OP posts:
Drywhiteplease · 04/07/2013 22:43

Think pink has slightly lst the plot today! Confused

libertychick · 04/07/2013 22:54

Dry I can't find them to link. They are M&S woman range and called slim fit chinos - these are the only chinos I can find in the 'woman' section of the website, but the ones I got are a slim fit and not as flappy around the ankle. They were a bit of a random find - hanging all by themselves on a rail with various odds and ends. I now NEED a white or nude sandal to wear with them Smile

libertychick · 04/07/2013 22:56

Dry Blush I like that look - have previously pinned it - the skirt is fab.

santamarianovella · 04/07/2013 23:09

its a nice look,i love her valentino studded shoes.

QueenCadbury · 05/07/2013 06:45

santa I love that jacket and I love it with the grey and black. I'd also wear it with blue jeans and a white, navy or black top. I'm sure someone can come up with a more exciting combination though.

novice I would definately be making a nuisance of myself. They surely have no right to hold onto your money and should be refunding the other items.

LinusDKD · 05/07/2013 07:42

Morning.

I actually really like that outfit dry, that skirt is beautiful.

santa nice jacket, I like that the shoulders are a bit unusual.

novice that is outrageous! Complain!

Drywhiteplease · 05/07/2013 07:51

Just me then! Might resurrect my Union Jack spice girl dress from the dressing up box worn for the Royal wedding of course ,with tiara

LinusDKD · 05/07/2013 07:58

Piccies, please dry Grin

Annianni · 05/07/2013 08:03

I think we need a photo of that Dry :o

Morning all...

Novice, that's terrible. Get complaining.

I think we'll go to the zoo.
It's a lovely sunny day here finally.
I'll just pop into town first to return the Office boots.

Any news on Mig?

Liberty, how about the Sam Edelman sandals that some of the all worn outers have?
I think they're called 'trina'
I've seen them reduced in loads of places.

santamarianovella · 05/07/2013 10:40

morning all,

thanks queen, great tips,will have to see it in RL,to see if this shade of red suits me,

dry Grin did you wear it with platform boots?

linus i have a lovely dries van noten dress,i love his designs.

shopafrolic · 05/07/2013 10:56

I'm taking DS to the hospital this morning for a check up, DH has taken time off work to come with me so we're all going for a bite to eat afterwards.
I'm wearing the Me&em grecian dress with a brown thin belt at the waist and my Sam Edelman Gigis. Am a bit worried that I may turn into a sweaty mess as it's viscose but we'll see.

Parisisalwaysagoodidea · 05/07/2013 12:38

Dry PP outfit is pretty but I would feel like a total nob in it!

Anni Have a great day at the zoo.

Santa Lovely jacket.

Novice Can they even do that?

Shop Hope checkup is ok. Outfit sounds lovely.

Well DH has decided that I am totally bonkers. I bought a shoe stretcher from Amazon after a rec on another thread. My NBs (aka evil tiny trainers) are tight and hurty so I put the shoe stretchers in and turned the handle veeery slowly, cackling madly as I had my terrible revenge on the bastards. The instructions say to leave them for 24 hours so they are on my bedroom floor where I can see them being tortured. I have a nother pair that are too narrow so I have put them beside the NBs so they can watch as they wait their turn.

Mwahahahaha! Grin
