Those Gap leopard shoes come up really small. I am a 38.5 and had to try on a 40.

Shop, Christie Brinkley - I'll take that.

Oh my god QueenC I have pinned that skirt....will buy ASAP as the other red a line I pinned from Cos sold out ...the curse of Pinterest! It's perfect and the blue is tempting too.

Interesting spirited defence of Kate Moss in this weeks Grazia by Polly Vernon. There's an outfit of Kate's in there that i haven't seen her in before, a grandad collar cheesecloth cream shirt, Khaki shorts, K Jaques sandals and an Alaia bag. She looks great.

Go Kate! I'd be having loads of holidays if I earned 11 mill last year. Probably wouldn't invite professional freeloader Sarah Ferguson and her daughters but never mind.....

Shop I finally tried some Chi Chi's today and the 6 was fine on my ankle.
I fastened them on the 3rd hole and they were lovely...

I did think that on the smaller sizes they had out, the straps looked smaller... so maybe your pair has the wrong size straps on!?

shopafrolic · 20/08/2013 17:48

Oh no Anni I feel terrible now! That means you missed that bargain! I'm SO sorry! The straps on mine are tiny though. Perhaps I should call their customer services?? WWYD?

I think Oasis leather is great....my jacket is from there and I'm v pleased with the quality.lovely skirt Grumpy thinks about resurrecting old knee length leather skirt from graveyard wardrobe

Annianni · 20/08/2013 17:51

Don't be silly!

I'd want to try a 7 to compare anyway.
The front strap felt a bit snug/stiff, so I'm glad I didn't buy the ebay ones.

OneLittleLady · 20/08/2013 17:54

Today I have bought : a forest green cardi, a silver cardi, a black denim skirt with leather effect waistband, emerald green opaque tights, a pair of flannel pjs, a cream mesh and satin mid length flouncy skirt, a canvas tote bag for use for music lessons, two pairs of ankle socks with lace trim in grey and black, and a pair of purple 'velvet touch' tights. Oh and two nail polishes in clear and Peach Melba Grin

shopafrolic · 20/08/2013 18:23

I think I'm on the 2nd hole - will have to go and check. But the holes are really close to the end of the strap IYSWIM? They do feel very short.......Will put on again when I go up for bath time.......

that leather skirt is lovely grumpy

I REALLY wish I'd seen this fab VW tartan skirt before it sold out. it's divine.

Drywhiteplease · 20/08/2013 18:40

Shop couldn't you exchange them if you haven't worn them?

Opinions on this skirt please? Worn with brown brogues? Im thinking with bright pink merino crew neck from Boden.
Looks v Jean Brodie to me tbh but are brogues the way to go? Think they would go with everything and appropriately school ma'am for my job. Or will I just look a knob?

foxysocks · 20/08/2013 18:43

I really like that dry

love how we are all onto tartan skirts. it's like synching totm

I like this too

Drywhiteplease · 20/08/2013 18:44

Good haul one and Grumpy I'm v impressed by the quality of Oasis leather, my jacket looks lovely.
VW skirt is lovely foxy, shame, I'm sure more will come on though

foxysocks · 20/08/2013 18:44

foxysocks · 20/08/2013 18:50

marant version - but maybe a bit too short

foxysocks · 20/08/2013 18:51

this colour would be better for me

Drywhiteplease · 20/08/2013 18:52

Foxy I think this could be a good season for VW......I'm over my VW psychological trauma (long story...already told once on MNV) enough to admit that as fashionistas I think we should all have at least one piece of the doyenne's designs in our wardrobes Grin

foxysocks · 20/08/2013 18:52

foxysocks · 20/08/2013 18:53

MarshaBrady · 20/08/2013 18:53

Am weeping at Foxy's first VW one. Crying Grin

MarshaBrady · 20/08/2013 18:55
