They'll have to make do with a stretchy skirt, Paris! I like those jackets.

Well, the shirt I was looking at was final sale, no returns, Marsha. But surely they are obliged to give you 7 days cooling off.

shopafrolic · 23/07/2013 20:16

Mmmmm - just checked on the i&I cashmere and it says you can return?

dry about bloody time! And thank goodness you love them after such a long wait Grin.

Lost track of all the links as a very large glass of wine has gone straight to my head.

Kate looked lovely and also very emotional. She must have had her hairdresser visit though. No-one'smvolunteered hair looks like that otherwise 24 h after giving birth!

Forgive my ignorance but who are Wrap? Not sure I've heard of them before......

MarshaBrady · 23/07/2013 20:44

I don't know much about Wrap except for links on here Shop.

Was there a clearance and a final sale? I missed that. I assume I would have noticed if no returns on items I got, I hope Grin

Decameron · 23/07/2013 20:47

It said no return when I added my shirt to the basket. Not everything then. Regardless, they have to accept refunds.

Decameron · 23/07/2013 20:47

returns not refunds.

MarshaBrady · 23/07/2013 20:54

Thanks Decam, I don't think I had that, good to know.

shopafrolic · 23/07/2013 21:00

Thanks Decam
I had another more leisurely look this evening - not much there this sale. For AW I could have spent £££££££££££

Wrap for Marsha and Shop

K and Wills looked thrilled...I can't believe she practically skipped down those steps......Shock

shopafrolic · 23/07/2013 22:03

Thanks Dry - I just wondered if they're new? Are they a sister company of a bigger brand? British?

OP posts:
shopafrolic · 23/07/2013 22:06

They seem to be owned by the same company that own Poetry.

Hi Shop, I have just had another little look too. Still not anything I fancied. The wallet is staying shut!

The dcs played up tonight at bed time so dh and I both exhausted and he is really grumpy. :( he's out again tomorrow night and I think he was relieved that he won't be coming home early enough to deal with bedtime. The silly thing is my last meeting was in his area I stoically walked by the shops, went to meet and asked if he wanted to stay out and he said no! (Ps, if I worked in the area dh does, we would be broke!)

shopafrolic · 23/07/2013 22:24

Poor you Novice
DS played up tonight too - I think the heat is f@cking with their tiny heads Grin

Evening O Stylish Ones. Just sitting in the hotel bar at the airport while DH buys me a nightcap. Just eaten a very late and carb-laden dinner and ready for my wake up call in FIVE HOURS Shock. Needless to say, JCrew dresses due tomorrow (ie too late) but had a message to say Boden AW parcel despatched so nice pressies to come home to anyway. Goodnight my lovelies - I'm going to get my drink on now and then pass out until I have to get up for my obscenely early flight. Mwah!

shopafrolic · 23/07/2013 23:04

Safe travels Grumpy

Sleep well and travel well Grumpy.

The earliest I've got up for a flight was 2.30am. Utterly bonkers.

Although London (around Liverpool) is still quite busy at 3.30am. Was so tired the next day.

libertychick · 23/07/2013 23:17

Have a good trip Grumpy.

Paris I will follow your knitwear quest with interest ? without wanting to put you off I find it very hard to buy knits and get stressed every time about washing them. My best buys were an APC wool jumper (NAP winter sale) and a Pure Collection cardi (TKMaxx). TKMaxx is excellent for knits IMO

Marsha I have an I&I silk top in off white ? it was something I meant to return and forgot Blush. It?s very sheer so I always need a vest underneath which annoys me ? I am thinking about dying it a different colour to see if that helps.

Great shopping today! Glad you got the Edelman?s Anni - I love them.

Hottest day clothes - an ancient chambray skirt and cotton Zara T. V boring and not at all stylish but I was at home all day recovering from a hangover. Dressing for work is such a PITA in the heat - the summer things need ironing, all that cotton and linen and it's just too hot to face it. Am afraid to wear anything silk in case I sweat on them and ruin them!!!!

Ouch One - sore toes - not nice.

OneLittleLady · 23/07/2013 23:22

Safe travels grumpy

LinusDKD · 24/07/2013 05:39

Morning!

grumpy safe travels.

one ouch, broken toes.

dry finally, you have your Gigis! I hope they were worth the wait.

I nearly melted yesterday, it was so hot. I wore one of the M&E dresses I bought in the sale and it was just too hot.

It has cooled off overnight so I might wear one of my Splendid maxi skirts with a M&E boyfriend tee today.

We are flying to NY tomorrow and I still have to pack but I only have a vague idea of what I'll take. It's probably going to be even hotter than here but at least they have air con over there.

Oh and my plane outfit! Any tips on how to be stylish and comfortable?

AmberNectarine · 24/07/2013 07:37

DH was up at 4am to catch a flight to Zurich this morning - I was a right grumpy bitch!

Day two of the no spend challenge. I'm a vision in navy leopard print today...

QueenCadbury · 24/07/2013 07:43

Morning. My dc are also playing up. I'm having 5 min of me time on the iPad before I have to deal with them properly! Last day of school so lots of emotions from the elder two.

Have a good holiday grumpy.

Catch you all laters.

Drywhiteplease · 24/07/2013 07:48

Morning!
linus jersey maxi dress, converse, fitted cardi and pashmina rolloed up in bag......I wore to travel last year, so comfy, felt as if I was wearing my nightie!
Amber it's an amazing challenge...am watching with interest and know you can do it.......when you get that bag it will be worth it !

My challenge should be......an outfit with gold Gigis every day Grin

Drywhiteplease · 24/07/2013 07:49

Oh and Grumpy have a fab time....shame the J Crew dress didn't arrive but I'm sure it won't spoil your break.
