so cute the grey version is nice too.

Drywhiteplease · 27/07/2013 19:47

Yes that's lovely Novice

LinusDKD · 27/07/2013 22:03

santa we've done the MOMA and the Frick Collection and tomorrow we'll do the Gugenheim and the Met.

I saw those Valentino rockstuds at Bergdorf Goodman and they did look amazing, especially the red ones.

I bought a bag today. Can anyone guess which one?

santamarianovella · 27/07/2013 22:37

is it celine nano?

Drywhiteplease · 28/07/2013 08:46

Not the Chanel?

LinusDKD · 28/07/2013 09:19

It's the Nano. In bright yellow.

It is sooo beautiful but I am getting cold feet about keeping it.

I also saw the LV Sofia Coppola in the cherry red I was lusting after and whilst it is beautiful, it is even more £££££.

Oh, and the Tom Ford Jennifer is a thing of beauty but I didn't even dare ask the price.

santa I had to think of you last night as we walked past the Santamarianovella shop on our way to dinner.

We went for cocktails first and then to this lovely Italian restaurant in Nolita. The food was a very modern take on Italian food and it was absolutely yummy. The wine we had was pretty good too...

Bleurgh, jetlag and a slight hangover don't go well together.

Will try and go back to sleep now.

Drywhiteplease · 28/07/2013 09:39

Sounds like a fantastic trip linus...... Are your eased with your outfits?

santamarianovella · 28/07/2013 10:18

thats great linus! you must take a pic and show us,ive never seen a yellow one, which color did you see the sofia? and yes im named after an ancient italian perfumery Grin,actually dh and i had our first kiss in front the SMN store in walton street! the store has a very sentimental meaning to me,dh does not even remember the place! your evening sounds amazing,enjoy the rest of your stay,and get some sleep.

dry your comments on the AW thread is hilarious.

MarshaBrady · 28/07/2013 10:56

Sounds absolutely gorgeous Linus. Perfect! Will you keep it do you think?

And how fantastic re first class.

Dry that story is so funny.

Novice love that bag.

Santa love your name, lots of lovely names on vogue, sweet story.

QueenCadbury · 28/07/2013 13:04

Ooh yes let's see it linus.

Lovely story santa. I chose my name as I love dairy milk bars!

We're entertaining all dh's colleagues and junior team later in the week (about 25 in total). I never really enjoy it and dh has offered to buy me something to wear if it'll make me enjoy it more. I've said no as I have plenty to wear. I'm mad, right?

santamarianovella · 28/07/2013 13:36

queen, I tried a dozen user names and all were taken,I was sure that this was not! ,I don't think your mad,very sensible, do you know what will you wear?

MarshaBrady · 28/07/2013 13:56

QueenC! Anything you would like? we can help you find it I'm sure.

LinusDKD · 28/07/2013 14:43

Pinned the bag. Got to run!

santamarianovella · 28/07/2013 16:09

OMG linus its beyond gorgeous.definitely a keeper!

libertychick · 28/07/2013 16:23

Beautiful bag Linus - but if you are not sure return it as it's a lot money to keep in a dustbag in the wardrobe!

QueenC bank the offer you daft woman!!! You may not want anything right now but come A/W something is sure to catch your eye Smile

Just had a lovely afternoon - thai massage followed by two uninterrupted hours on the deck with a large glass of rose and the papers

libertychick · 28/07/2013 16:24

BTW QueenC the grey version of the MJ bag that novice linked last night might be the holy grail grey bag you have been looking for??? Maybe a suitable reward for hosting all those medics!

OneLittleLady · 28/07/2013 16:33

It's a beautiful bag linus and I'm not a fan of yellow at all.

I've lost another two pounds, I'm sure it's because I've barely been eating because of the heat so I suspect it's all going to pile back on again once the weather shifts again

QueenCadbury · 28/07/2013 17:05

Who is linus on pin? Can't seem to see the bag? Have googled it nd it's lovely, such a wow statement bag. What is it you're not sure of?

liberty I only wish we were going out rather than hosting then I could definately justify the bag! No need to bank the offer as he's already been warned that I'm not buying anything now but will make up for it in London! Haven't told him yet though that I will be coming home drunk after meeting you lot Grin.

Had some lovely girly time with dd1 earlier, painting our toe nails and trying in all my clothes and shoes. She's desperate to fit into stuff! I've handed down a couple of tops to her that had been charity shop buys in my excitement of finding stuff in my colours but actually don't work at all in my wardrobe or are 'me'. I'm better off sticking to neutral top (black, grey, white, navy) and adding colour in other ways rather than wearing coloured tops. Liberty, she adores the top tht you gave to me! Tried on the lk bennett just for the hell of it and I love it still even though I haven't worn it for ages. Any dress I buy for my birthday is going to have to be pretty good to look better than it.

Not sure why I'm stressing so much about hosting dh's team. Will post outfit choices later. Now need to cook tea and try yet again to get the cat to swallow her antibiotics. I can get the bloody tablet into her mouth but she just will not swallow it and spits it out triumphantly!

happyreindeer · 28/07/2013 17:09

QueenCadbury try wrapping your cat in a towel to cover her paws and then push the tablet right down her throat and rub her throat gently.

OneLittleLady · 28/07/2013 17:11

Have you tried rubbing her throat queenC? that was how we got them into my cat

MarshaBrady · 28/07/2013 19:36

Linus love the Celine bag is gorgeous. Love the yellow. You lucky thing in NYC, love it there. Stayed at the Hudson Hotel last time we were there on the way to Aus. Actually I can't believe we flew round the world.

QueenC I don't blame you. Hosting sounds stressful. I like the odd party and get on well with the younger ones at dh's work. But just a party is enough.

Liberty well done on the 5:2!

shopafrolic · 28/07/2013 19:43

God it feels as tho I've been gone forever.
QueenC I love the Missoni you picked for me. If only it was a dress, and less £££££££ - just gorgeous.
Great weekend. The BBQ was a major success despite the thunderstorm! Lots of outdoor fun today.
Loads to catch up on link wise. Must do better!

MarshaBrady · 28/07/2013 19:45

Shop was wondering where you'd gone! Glad the BBQ was great.

shopafrolic · 28/07/2013 19:50
