Grumpy I think you will look incredible in a tux....what a great idea for a winter wedding. What are you wearing underneath or will you be doing a Gwyneth P? Wink

Nice outfit Dry. You've made me, want to buy some more nail polishes too. Wink

Ordered the satin trousers. Thinking of styling with my Baukjen bronze glitter slippers and a much-underused olive silk pussybow blouse from Isabella Oliver (the normal one, before it became Baukjen - not the maternity section!) and Clare Vivier leopard foldover clutch. I'm a bit older/less gorgeous than Gwynnie and don't think I could pull off that look although I do have the bony chest bit.

Waves to all - I would be sharing a link to my house on Rightmove but the f2cking irritating bl@@dy lazy ar$ed estate agents are taking FOREVER.
Novice so many viewings sounds v positive
Grumpy love the tux idea
Amber hope you start to feel loads better soon.
Decam I LOVE your coat - gorgeous!
Today I am wearing navy A&W chinos, grey Whistles quilted sweat, Missoni flats and Chloe peacoat - random, but seems to work. Now that I'm home flats have changed to UGGS.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Shop nice, relaxed outfit, although I'll bet your Uggs don't look as glam as the knitted stripy Gap slippers I am currently rocking.

thanks everyone. don't know why crisis, think just totm yuckness kicking in. i actually got too hot in the green knit so switched it for a looser dull gold batwing knit. still looked ok i think.

we had to go to JL so stopped at tk maxx briefly, i got a gorgeous becksondergaard scarf for £15. coral with dark grey stars, it's massive and silk/wool mix. happy!

shop would love to see house link once it's up

thanks everyone for encouragement on here and pin. you are all so lovely Flowers

i think once the building work is finished I will need new slippers, uggs or similar are a good idea shop. current ones are the white company, slate grey booties, but the soles don't last that long. might have to get DD some too, she likes to have matching slippers with me.

Hello! love these but have seen these boots now. Aaargh!

Our house is our own again. One couple came back again this afternoon for a second view so they're certainly sound interested!

Grumpy love the tux idea. You'll look fab!

Novice both very nice, hard to decide.

I'm meant to be going out later... am waning a bit.

My UGGS are my slippers Foxy love them. I can't wear synthetic slippers, and UGGS are super cosy on our stone floors but the sole means I can wear then up the garden path etc as well. I buy a new pair every 2 years or so as I live in them every evening from Oct to the Spring.
Novice 2nd viewing definitely ace. Both boots are good. I have a v similar pair to the first ones, which came from M&S of all places with a slightly higher heel.....
Marsha don't wane - if you go out I will live my night vicariously through you! What are you up to? What will you wear?

I could definitely do with some Uggs.

Shop just drinks with a couple of friends from ds1's first school. So thinking Rag&Bone skinnies, Theyskens jumper and maybe some old Bruno navy suede shoeboots. I may be wearing this combo next week too!

Anyone else thought about outfit for next week? (you can admit it here, secret is safe with me)

Marsha pull yourself together!!!! I was waning. After a shower and a very strong espresso (double) don't think any other guests will get a word in edge ways! Channel your inner party goddess, remember the days of heroin chic? Come on .....you're past 30, not past 60! Get with it girl!!!!! said in a Gillian from biggest looser voice

stop press you know I like volume? well have just blow dried using Aveda pure abundance style prep....smells fantastic, v effective, a bit too effective appear to have mushroom hair right now, sure it will calm down.

Novice I'd go with first pair because I'm a bit fussy and matchy matchy as you know, Nd I'd feel restricted to silver/pewter accessories boring woman

No time for a proper catch-up but the Moncler store in Rome did not have the coat I wanted to buy. Sad Angry

And we had to queue to get in! What's that all about?
To be fair, it is a small shop, but it does seem silly.

Oh, the weather has changed (rainy but very hot) so now I am rocking an über frizzy hairdo combined with a shiny forehead and sweaty pits. Lovely!

Going to have some Wine!

Have finally, after spending what feels like an age growing out an inverted bob, had a haircut. Haven't lost much length but have got some shape back and with some artful back combing and salt spray, I will have texture instead of frizz! My DS visited today and spent ages stroking my hair and loudly proclaiming it 'the most purple hair I've ever seen' it isn't bright but is definitely purple.
