A happy and safe place to talk fashion (from high end to high street), beauty and the arts. All welcome to bring a positive state of mind, lots of links and an eye for detail.

Hmmm, so leather trousers an epic fail but thought I would link as pretty bargainous.

These (pleather but looks good)

These

Think I may take a punt on the leggings you have Grumpy

I don't know why I have become obsessed with this, especially when I suspect this is a style that won't suit me. Does anyone else do that?

Dry sounds like you are having fun!

Turquoiseblue · 01/10/2013 15:43

Happy birthday anni hope you have a lovely day.

Hugs one - inner kylie is a good affirmation me thinks!

Amber - hope you re better, 6 attempts at LP, you poor dear!

Dry - building work sounds tolerable if the eye candy is good ;)

Umlauf - congrats Flowers enjoy this lovely time

Outbid for a house I fell in love with, gutted. Ah well there s always shopping....

Mrs R love those trousers, what was wrong?

MrsRadicchio · 01/10/2013 15:46

Sorry about the house Turq. Shape of trousers just wasn't right for me, sadly.

That is really good ebaying Sleep!

Amber Here's hoping your headache is because of the kidney infection (and the toxins that can build up from from less than 100% kidney function can cause headaches) and nothing else. Think you have enough on your plate. Flowers.

Queen Here's hoping your dental appt when okay and hurt less than you feared. Flowers to you too.

Umlauf Wonderful wonderful news my love. Welcome to baby Albert (and an excuse to pin more baby clothes!) and hoping that you enjoy this special time. Flowers and a post labour Brew. Oh sod it have a glass of Wine.

Thanks for my Stella bra linus. It is so perfectly me that I plan to make it mine! Have pinned it as a reminder.

Currently away on a two day case review trip at one of the special hospitals. Not enjoying hence mad pinning of ice cream photos- they act as therapy!

Have pinned a few bits and fashion pieces though!

Hello again! LO sleeping finally so I've been able to catch up properly, or at least on the last couple of days worth. As you can imagine I'm none too fashionable at the moment (currently sporting nursing bra and DHs PJ bottoms, phwoar!) so I haven't any contributions! I was reading last week´s Grazia (was meant to be a bumper fashion edition) in labour though and was most disappointed by it. Are the shops in the UK as uninspiring??

Happy Birthday anni !! What are your birthday plans and outfits?!

amber hope you're feeling better soon.

novice glad you are UGG proud! I have worn mine to death they are so comfy. I've got sheepskin insoles for smarter boots too so I can still feel the hug for your feet when dressed up!

mrsR ive PMed you. Love the leather trousers look and may give the M&S coated ones a go with a view to investing next year should they suit me.

turquoise so sorry to hear about the house, I have so many friends trying to get on the property ladder and are always pipped to the post by buy-to-letters, its so incredibly frustrating. You'll find a better one!

mig I had my first Wine last night, the tiniest bit and I was out like a light! Unfortunately Albert wasn't.. Hmm

linus the cobalt one is lovely, did you buy either?

Sorry I haven't mentioned everyone, he's just woken up and is soo scrumptious I just HAVE to go and have a cuddle!! xxx

mignonette · 01/10/2013 17:33

Umlauf

I'm not very impressed by next seasons fashions. The S/S shows at Milan/Paris/NYC all looked pretty samey samey. On the plus note, it means I don't have to buy much to look current as most of it seems to be variations on a well trodden theme.

I have heard that Elle McPherson nursing bra's are not too hideous. I have to confess I never bought a nursing bra-just had a normal front opening one or hoiked a back opening one up! I imagine continental European lingerie has better nursing designs than the UK. There is a blog/website by Julia Roitfeld Restion (Carinne the exFrench Vogue editors daughter) called 'Romy & The Bunnies' that specialises in Mother & baby fashions/beauty/lifestyle that you might like to follow?

AmberNectarine · 01/10/2013 17:44

Viral meningitis ladies. It's been a lovely time.

mignonette · 01/10/2013 17:49

What a shame Sad. I had it when I was PG w/ DS and it isn't the ideal way to spend your time....Glad that it isn't the more serious bacterial type although the headache can be just as awful. Be careful not to move around too much after a LP- the site needs to seal and it can trigger a post LP headache if you don't stay flat as much as you can. Flowers.

AmberNectarine · 01/10/2013 18:12

mig if you could give my two toddlers the staying still memo I'd be grateful! Laid still for 5.5 hrs post LP - will have to do :)

OneLittleLady · 01/10/2013 18:17

Oh dear amber I've had that too (when I was a teenager) and it sucked. Rest as much as you can with two toddlers, take any and all help you may get offered and just be kind to yourself. Thanks

mignonette · 01/10/2013 18:45

Oh Amber I know it is hard to do Sad. Is there anyway a family member could help out or Dad? Hopefully it will stay sealed after 5.5. Take care of yourself. Flowers

LinusDKD · 01/10/2013 18:57

Oh amber I hope that you will feel better soon. Thanks

I didn't buy any of the cardigans but I might do next week.

mig I saw that bra on a blog and immediately thought of you! Glad you like it.

DP have arrived as they will look after the DC when we leave for Rome on Thursday. DM is already getting on my nerves, even though she means well.

Drywhiteplease · 01/10/2013 19:59

Well Amber at least you know what it is. Hope you get rest and feel better soon.

Drywhiteplease · 01/10/2013 20:01

And I think I have a Novice like crush on WIT....I adore her clothes, completely what I'd wear, I'm loving the bf jeans and heels .....just think she looks fab. She's opening a WIT online shop...clever lady. Helps that she's gorgeous.

MarshaBrady · 01/10/2013 20:13

She is lovely looking it's true. Great stuff too.

Am really looking forward to the mu too, feel like I need it!

Drywhiteplease · 01/10/2013 20:23

Glad you said that Marsha I was thinking today "12 days to go" then I thought am I really sad?
Sounds as if a lot of us need a good knees up Grin

MarshaBrady · 01/10/2013 20:24

I know I was putting something in the diary today and lo the Vogue Mu was sitting there, very close. Happy days!

shopafrolic · 01/10/2013 20:26

I love her too Dry - can I join you?
Amber ouch! Poor you - I hope you get well soon. My friend's DH is recovering from the same - advised to rest for 4-6 weeks! Not sure how that's possible with little ones?!
I have problems with my knee joints and ligaments ATM - am having physio and acupuncture - gold needles today (I'm allergic otherwise - so posh you see!). So painful but it's really freed everything up which is good news.
We've chosen our estate agent - pics on Thursday. EEK!
Umlauf cuddles for your lovely bundle of joy. I love your description of hugs for your feet.
