Totally get the tuna thing. I eat stacks of it - stock up when it's £4-5 for four.

No time to catch up properly but well done on the boots QueenC - lovely!

Am going to Bicester on Weds (with DH and his credit card). It's like I'm going to Disneyland...

shopafrolic · 16/09/2013 20:58

Liberty it's just gorgeous! Very you, I can totally see you in it - an absolute classic. Love.

Jealous Amber... I'd love to go to BV...bit far.

Shop I completely agree about photos. I think often we see our " mirror selves" all our flaws and hang ups exaggerated but somehow in a photo you see you "real self" iykwim ? I also think seeing everyone on Pin is so much better than a description on here, you really need to see the actual person in the garment.
The threads where they go " what do you think of this dress etc" have always baffled me because it's so subjective .

Lovely coat liberty - I'm looking for something very similar in Navy or even dark green. I tried a mac style wool one on in Hobbs at the weekend but it was far too long - I looked like I should have been in Allo Allo or something! I'm laughing away here at the Lakeland mania on Pinterest - I'm so sorry I missed that Grin

bloomingheather · 16/09/2013 21:02

Oh I forgot, Dry I am ElfinJ on Pinterest.

Amber glad someone else gets it! Have a fabulous time in BV.

Shop all kicks off tomorrow. Dinner out, seeing Book of Mormon and dinner on another and a play Private Lives with dh and I. A lunch and a visit to Tartine et Chocolat for the dc. My parents really live it up when they come here. They've just done a cruise around the Mediterranean, went to Dublin for a night for a reunion and Berlin to see my brother. They seriously hot foot it round Europe. I'm really pleased for them.

I really wanted to get my hair cut tomorrow before seeing them, but will have to do the oh don't notice! I'm cutting it tomorrow thing instead.

shop, can I raise a tiny tiny tiny comment? I am not sure about the black and white one?Blush Your legs look very shapely but worried it looks slightly shapeless on top. I think the red one is more "balanced" ie shapely legs and more flattering shape on top.

shopafrolic · 16/09/2013 21:25

Novice you can be diamonds and detergent, I'll be bleach and cashmere!

OP posts:
MarshaBrady · 16/09/2013 21:27

I'll be tuna and putty coloured suede.

RubyLovesShopping · 16/09/2013 21:29

In lurking once again just to say anni I love that jaeger coat will be at a place with one of their outlets tomorrow will report back if they have it. Really enjoying these coat discussions but can't see the coats on pin is it a secret board?
I have a need for a navy or grey peacoat, I'll know it when I see it, just haven't seen it yet. Off to the v big city this weekend to actually look at clothes in real life v excited as its a dc free day!

shopafrolic · 16/09/2013 21:30

Novice fair point. That's why I hoped you lovelies who'd met me cold chip in..... Tis true, it's not as tailored and I definitely suit structure.
I think I'm sucked in by the checks. If I'd paid for both myself I think I'd send it back, but since it's a gift I reckon I'll still wear it this season. And if it gets trashed, it won't matter........
I'll just be wearing the Chloe to MUs! :)

BrandyAlexander · 16/09/2013 21:36

Lovely coat liberty. Have you ever seen these bags, now they re a bit different so maybe not your thing, I got one when I Australia and I love love it. You can pick your design and I ve orðered one for my sister too - picked a pattern from archives. They re very well wearing. Mine s 8 years old now , I use it when I've to bring stuff to work laptop and papers fit easily. But they re not to everyone s taste, personally I prefer it to a backpack.
satchel bags

Sorry dec I didn't see your post earlier, my boots are 2 years old, and as they ve been already massacred adjusted I don't know if they re for rescue, I got them from an independent shoe boutique and she has been really unhelpful (the first time I wore them the right was loser than the left.

Marsha, enjoy having your folks.

Where s the Mnv Pinterest board? I haven't spotted it, but I m not the best pinner ! Apols to anyone following me, I just pinned lots of yummy recipes to try as having a few parties next month.

MarshaBrady · 16/09/2013 21:41

Oh Novice do. We'll all swoon.

Ruby hi J Crew does lovely peacoats.

Drywhiteplease · 16/09/2013 21:42

Drywhiteplease · 16/09/2013 21:44
