Yay, foxy that's fab news. I'm still hoping to come round for wine though! Good news on the shoulder too.

mig they're all a bit out there for me I'm afraid. Are you thinking of buying one? If so my favourite would be the dvf.

shopafrolic · 23/10/2013 21:06

Decam you're welcome to my White Company vouchers. I get loads of them but haven't bought from there in years........

I was really happy with the fast delivery but my new WC sheets won't stay on the bed, they keep pinging off, so annoying!

shopafrolic · 23/10/2013 21:10

Ave you got a super deep mattress Marsha? That always happens on ours, we have to buy extra deep sheets.

MarshaBrady · 23/10/2013 21:12

Yes, the sheets are quite deep but I remembered we got extra deep ones from JL last time. Can't believe I forgot.

MarshaBrady · 23/10/2013 21:13

I mean they looked ok but not deep enough. Got two of them too. Darn!

shopafrolic · 23/10/2013 21:13

Yup, JL good for extra deep ones.....

hi florenceuk here under a new name. Just to say that SbC coat in red is on the yoox site here in a size 8 and 10 (not that I was looking!)

Drywhiteplease · 23/10/2013 22:44

Yey MrFoxy !
Mig.... Crazy skirts!!
Dd saidy boots look a bit granny!
I've just seen some v flexible women at C du S.... Feel slightly queezy! Amazing show

I am considering the Helmut or the Brocade Carven. I love the tiger McQ and noticed today that it is in Grazia this week so have nixed it as too many people will probably be seen in it. Also the tiger kilt and the digital photoprint Carven will likely date very fast.

The Helmut Lang will not date even though it appears very of the season.

The DVF is something La Moss might wear QueenC so am tempted. I actually think that older women look better in leopard. Or very young women. I think if you went understated,m it'd look good and of course I would expect the quality of the fabric to raise the look if it in real life.

Marsha I hate having to continually tuck in the sheets. I have a lovely Dorma set on at the moment. It is available in navy and white and deep burgundy and cream. Lovely soft cotton but the sheets are not fitted so they tuck in (hospital corners of course). I love a hospital corner! Fitted sheets never fit our bed. We have an antique wooden frame with a deep mattress. I want a new bed though- a Vi Spring box frame, sleek and uncluttered.

What colour and style bedding do all the MNvoguers have on?

Florence -Hi there. Love the Chloe coat. Lovely shade of red.

OneLittleLady · 23/10/2013 23:25

My current bedding is deep purple and cream with an embroidered pattern on the cream part which is in a silvery grey thread. DP's idea of bedding is all blue or black in stripe or check patterns (black sheets ming) Hmm

No coat pic tonight as DP got home too late to take one but I will try to get one up tomorrow

RubyLovesShopping · 24/10/2013 08:09

Mig -white, always white bed linen I am quite fussy. Am a big fan of vi spring their customer service is excellent.

RubyLovesShopping · 24/10/2013 08:11

Forgot to add think someone had already said it but jl or dapw extra deep sheets are good we have the 40cm ones and they are big enough.

shopafrolic · 24/10/2013 09:12

Ruby I love white bedding too. One Sounds lovely. Fortunately my DH doesn't have any opinions on what bedding he sleeps under other than it being cotton.

I'm not a pink and frilly girl although I will confess to a seersucker set in yellow, green, pink and white stripes! It is lovely to sleep under in hot weather but my daughter is eyeing it up.

foxysocks · 24/10/2013 09:38

yes they look like that to me shop. not sure I can pull that shape off at all. am wearing my asos patch boyfs today but HAD to roll them up a bit to make them work. am wearing with a navy l/s top layered under this grey marl sweat and high tops

worried it's quite a young look but checked with my SR friends and they gave the stamp of approval. one said the loveliest thing, 'you could wear absolutely anything and look good', bless her, made my day!

I love the brocade mig. gorgeous.

marsha how quick were TWC delivery? we are now going away for a few days on monday, if I order now do you reck I'll get it by saturday? thanks for PM, I'm not sure whether you got my reply as I was on my phone in B&Q

MarshaBrady · 24/10/2013 11:09

Hi Foxy next day I think. Checked my email and ordered on a Tuesday and I remember feeling really pleased that they turned up one day before cleaner on Thursday.

Yes thank you I meant to reply!

Gorgeous day.

MarshaBrady · 24/10/2013 11:10

I ordered at 10.30am, to be precise!

MarshaBrady · 24/10/2013 11:11

Lol my gorgeous day was a bit random there. Am sitting in the sunshine. Pretty good for October.

MarshaBrady · 24/10/2013 11:15

Shop are they not very close to ye old too short bootleg? But not quite. Oh fashion how you love to tread fine lines Grin

LinusDKD · 24/10/2013 11:21

I know it's not black nor French but this is for you dry

LinusDKD · 24/10/2013 11:22

this is black though.

LinusDKD · 24/10/2013 11:28

navy

Soooo tempted by this!

LinusDKD · 24/10/2013 11:31

shoes

Look at these babies! I am not a slipper shoe fan but these could turn me.

Only teeny tiny size left unfortunately. grumpy or novice?

QueenCadbury · 24/10/2013 11:44

Hmm, not convinced by those jeans shop. I think on mere mortals they may just look wrong and too short.

Nice bag links linus.

I could never have white bedding as it would be covered in black cat fur within seconds. We currently have a plain teal bedding set. Not my favourite but needed something to tone with the hideous green carpet in our room and the black/teal statement wallpaper. Ideally I'd like red/purple colours.
