looking fab dry loooove the tiara ! i was about 7months pregnant at that time and only wore a union jack scarf. so amber VB and I were all 7 months pregnant with girls during the royal wedding ,i feel kinda special Grin.

OneLittleLady · 05/07/2013 22:56

DP has bought me a keyboard Grin it will help with my vocal exercises though so there is a practical reason for having one other than the fact that I like to mess about and make up little tunes

GwendolynMoon · 06/07/2013 07:44

Hey everyone. Have had limited Internet access this week so haven't been able to post. Have a lot to catch up on, it's a whole new thread already!

Feeling a bit nervous this morning, have hair appt later and am getting my long ( past shoulder blades) locks chopped off to about chin length. DH is sulking about it but I really need a change, hoping I won't regret it.

Happy weekend everyone. Going to try catch up a bit now Smile

QueenCadbury · 06/07/2013 07:53

I was heavily pregnant during the royal wedding too. I remember having to have a nap in my friends bed where we were watching it. Great dress dry.

gwen my dh would be exactly the same.

one that's so cool about the keyboard. I used to have one as a kid and loved making up tunes. I would love a piano but I don't really have a musical bone in my body.

I'm wearing a dress today (a rare occasion as I can never find any to fit due to long torso). Anyway it's just a linen thing bought last year from next but for some reason dh loves it. So whilst he was getting a bit amorous over me I asked if I had permission to buy more dresses today and of course he said yes Grin Gin. Bet I don't bloody find any to fit though.

Have fun weekends in the sun!

QueenCadbury · 06/07/2013 07:54

Ha ha, that should ave been another Grin not gin!

Fedupnagging · 06/07/2013 08:16

Not been on MN for a few days and have just caught up - you're all talking AW! I need some summer first. Having said that, I have started looking for knee length boots.

Am getting some great ideas from you all.

Have fun at the mu.

shopafrolic · 06/07/2013 08:51

Gwen my DH biggest worry when I got my hair cut short was that there'd be nothing left to hold onto Blush
Waves to Fedup
Great typo QueenC my DH loves me in a dress too and I rarely wear them. I'm in one today, the red Levis M&C one with a belt and jewelled R&B sandals. Too hot not to get legs out. The dress is definitely too big on me so not my best look for the MU but am hoping everyone will ignore as it's so damn hot!
On the train, which has a minor fault! So fingers crossed I make it.

Morning, what a glorious day for a mu.

What shoes are people wearing today? Think I'll walk in flats and change like last time.

Shop you're flats I know. Good luck on train, it had better get you there!

GwendolynMoon · 06/07/2013 09:06

Lol Shop my DH just hates change, am sure he will get used to it and then love it.

I need to spend a long time this morning applying make up, I don't usually wear that much but having to look atyself in the mirror for a few hours always freaks me out so I have to try and make sure I look my best Wink

Have a good MU everyone going.

shopafrolic · 06/07/2013 09:12

Why didn't I think of that Marsha? Mind you, not sure what heels I'd wear with this dress. See you all later!

I was in hospital for the royal wedding! Had just come back from holiday where I had terrible food poisoning and was on a drip. Nurses were far more interested in the dress than me.

I always say Harper is DD's celebrity twin as they are so close in age!

Drywhiteplease · 06/07/2013 09:51

God poor you Amber..... Posh was my pregnancy twin Grin when she was expecting Brooklyn! Kept looking at how chic and tiny she was Sad

Drywhiteplease · 06/07/2013 09:52

Good luck with the hair Gwen I'm sure it will look fab.

LinusDKD · 06/07/2013 09:57

DS was born in January so I was still in a post natal haze during the Royal wedding.

I am wearing the teal M&E grecian dress for the first time today with the Stella&Dot necklaces and DH complimented me again.

I guess he's just happy I'm wearing a dress instead of jeans.

Have fun at the MU!

Drywhiteplease · 06/07/2013 10:27

My Me + Em dress just arrived. It's a no go though Sad... Such high expectations but too short even on me! Fab quality fabric and lovely design though, v flattering but I just wouldn't get enough wear out of it.

shopafrolic · 06/07/2013 10:35

That's a shame Dry, which one was it?

santamarianovella · 06/07/2013 10:49

i contacted sleep 2 days ago about the MU,as i was not sure i was gonna make it,and it seems i definitely wont be able to make it Sad

hope you all have a lovely time!

Parisisalwaysagoodidea · 06/07/2013 11:01

Happy meet up day!

I'm slightly hungover but have been to the shop and now have a pile of sugary things to perk me up. All I'm doing today is slobbing on the sofa and cheering on Sabine Lisicki in the women's final this pm.

Wore shoes like this last night. My feet swelled up in the heat so they were a bit uncomfortable! Should be ok when the weather returns to normal though.

foxysocks · 06/07/2013 11:50

Come on lisicki! Can't wait to watch with a glass of fizz later.

We are loving this weather. Last min change on outfit am wearing Celine skirt for first time got big thumbs up from DH. with grey slouchy vest and pale gold havs, denim jacket on for morning chill now discarded.

On phone and better go but have fun at mu sorry to miss it again xx

BrandyAlexander · 06/07/2013 12:00

Hi, running late for MU. Will be there about 1.30/1.45pm, order without me! Who is coming? Me, Marsha, sleep, shop, amber? Liberty? Mrs R?

MarshaBrady · 06/07/2013 12:22

On my way! Just got to negotiate south to north but shouldn't take too long.

shopafrolic · 06/07/2013 13:01

That's a real shame Santa I was looking forward to meeting you!

Just a quick little delurk again :), work and training and looking after smallies means the end of the week s always super busy here. Caught up on the last tread as we re driving to weekend away in glorious sunshine, opened this tread to see 200 replies already! Phew will try catch up but hello to all. Enjoy your MU.
Mignonette sorry to see about your little niece, thoughts are with you.
Loving all the lovely links, refusing to think of AW just yet (well ok maybe there s a little wish list evolving but not going there till next week at least).
Waiting on AR road delivery from my sale haul. Fingers x'd.

BrandyAlexander · 06/07/2013 13:17

Hello Turquoise! Don't worry I am not in the A/W camp yet! Not even on my radar no matter what dry says Grin

On way to MU. They may see more of me than they bargained for! Bloody dress strap keeps slipping down. Has never happened with this dress. Grr!

Drywhiteplease · 06/07/2013 13:48

this one Shop. Almost perfect but not enough to keep it. Lovely though.not to worry, there'll be others.

Foxy just you and me watching?
