I love it foxy ,just the kind of bikini style I'm looking for.

queen I think it's an excellent idea! I wish more people were this straight forward! ,at the end of the day I want the receiver of the gift to enjoy it,and knowing that I gave them what they want, certainly makes it an easier task.

LinusDKD · 14/07/2013 20:35

QueenC I think it's a good idea as well and I would not be offended if a friend asked me to contribute to something he/she really wants.

Lovely bikini foxy, sadly not for me at the moment. But I hope to be able to wear my Eres bikinis (bought for my honeymoon 7 years ago) again one day.

2 kilos down, 8 more to go!

Queen why don't you ask your closest friend to co-ordinate the collection and then she could order the bag for you? That's what my friend arranged for my MK watch that I got from my friends for my 40th.....
Linus well done on the weight loss!
Gorgeous bikini - I caught sight of myself in the mirror in mine today - not good. I need a more structured top post BF!

shop that's a good idea. I could ask dh to co-ordinate it as not all my friends know each other.

HI all. Queen Cadbury suggested I drop in on you to ask if anybody has any recommendations for jersey skirts? I have Topshop tube skirts in midi and maxi and I've just bought a Whistles knee length one but I'm after something softer and fuller, knee length or just below. I absolutely love this one but would prefer it to not be 100% polyester.

Poor you shop in a car for 2 hrs...still BBQ sounds as if it made up for it!
QC collection is a great idea.......some of my friends gave me an LKBennett voucher for mine and I bought the highest,pointiest red suede stilettos .......I think of them every time I wear them Smile
linus well done on the weight loss
Decameron after nearly 2 wks my H and M blouse still hasn't arrived (grrrr) so I called up and they gave me 15% off! Hope it's nice.
Foxy classy bikini.....love it. Give us a clue....surfing instructor? Rich yacht owner? Grin

God I love love love this heat wave .....I feel as if I'm on holiday. I've been reading....YES...a book! Onto "Girl Gone" now. Town was buzzing on Saturday night when I drove through.....a real feel good factor.
( but I did conclude that jersey is not every woman's friend).

Right must concentrate on my weekly dose of medieval trashy, not-strictly-historically-accurate-but-dont-care-because-loads-of-hunks-in-armour.........

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/07/2013 21:15

Thanks Shop. :)

I'm thinking much, much more casual. The sort of thing that I imagine American Apparel might do, except a) I refuse to buy from them and b) it's pretty much all polyester anyway.

poly blend

OP posts:
RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/07/2013 21:17

Yes, exactly this sort of thing

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/07/2013 21:18

Love that but too dressy. Imagine if The White Company did skirts...

neoprene? :)

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/07/2013 21:20

Ugh, no thank you. :)

Viscose or cotton elastane jersey needed.

God! That's a toughie isn't it? All the jersey is pencil that I can see..... Will keep hunting. Stick around :)

Thanks Shop. I might give the red TS one a go anyway, despite the polyester.

Ladies, show remus your wangs. Or are they too clingy and not full enough?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/07/2013 21:38

I love the Wangs, but not what I'm after now.

LinusDKD · 15/07/2013 07:19

Morning!

Hi Remus this skirt is not pleated and quite an unusual shape but is is jersey

splendid

Today I am wearing my navy Dorothy Perkins maxi tube skirt and white M&E boyfriend tee today with my red Gigis and gold bangles and red Chan Luu bracelet. I am melting already!

Decameron · 15/07/2013 07:23

Foxy great bikini, you will look amazing. That's not good about the tops. Other clothes I have bought from Me & Em have lasted well and I am always recommending them, hopefully I was just unlucky with the dress as I buy most of my clothes there atm!

Also now wondering what Mr Foxy does.

Sorry Remus I have only seen knee length jersey skirts.

I would be happy to contribute towards something a friend really wanted QueenC but probably better coming from DH/a friend than written on the invitation. It is a lovely bag.

Good about the discount, Dry. It is a pretty blouse, I am just not agile enough to put it on. And I tried it on while very hot so was not in a good mood to begin with!

Drywhiteplease · 15/07/2013 07:59

Blimey hopefully you're looking hot on your blog www.appliedstyle.co.uk/... Love the lipstick......what is it ? feels a purchase coming on
