Evening!

I've had such a lovely day. Today DD celebrated her first birthday and I can't believe my little girl is already one year old.

We had cake for breakfast as DH had to catch a flight to London and when we sang Happy Birthday DS started to cry.

I think he wanted some present too...

DH picked up my Jalouses in HoF (yay!) and then went to Selfridges to look for a present for me, but had to leave as there were too many people he couldn't stand it (he hates shopping malls and crowded department stores )

So I'm having a look at the shops in terminal 5 to see if he can pick up something there.

Did anyone buy any of the Anya Hindmarch clutches. I am sitting on my hands as I don't really need a clutch and I lost my heart to a red glitter Valorie

shop those jeans are definitely for the long of leg.

dry those bikers look fine but I agree, it all depends on how you style it.

turq I hope your DD feels better soon.

My bedding at the moment is a (very masculin looking) Lexington duvet cover. I really like that brand as it has a New England/preppy vibe going on but I only buy it in the sales as it is £££

I have some lovely plaid flannel bedding I can't wait to put on the bed but it isn't quite cold enough.

Linus I have just been reading through today's links and do love the Valorie in navy. I am rather partial to navy you all may have noticed. Have a wedding next month and am trying to use that to justify ordering. But have new coat and may soon have new boots so was planning on high st for a clutch- needs to be navy, gold or pewter, that's next weeks shopping project.

I used to love the cotton jersey bedding and both children had it as children along with JC Penney padded striped comforters.

I like the sound of the linen duvet cover. I have a linen sheet and pillowcase set and Frette OMG- gorgeous.

I also love Yves Delorme and Designers Guild when the latter is not too colourful. I like a more sombre bedroom w/ the odd splash of colour.

I ordered the Helmut skirt just to try and am still pondering the Carven weird one. Ponder ponder.

Decameron-nice jeans.

Oh did you Mig I meant to say that was my favourite! How exciting.

Thanks so much re mag, yes that's it. I ordered from here. Admittedly it could have been cheaper on eBay. Whoops!

Linus I feel the same as your dh and can't stay in Selfridges for very long. I can handle Liberty. I think it has fewer people and is calmer, might be the lighting and the wood.

Mentally going through wardrobe now to see what I could eBay to buy the Valorie!

The price might go up on Ebay as there's 23 hrs to go on that auction so might not be as cheap as it looks at the moment. I spend a ridiculous amount on old US Vogues pre 2003 ish to stop the gaps in my collection. The P+P is dreadful.

Will photograph the skirt if it looks okay.

I prefer Liberty although Selfridges Food dept is luscious. I have learned when to go at quieter times. After work is madness- hordes of people buying in desperation and in the run up to Christmas i stay out of department stores entirely.

Go for it ruby!

Poor DH went to Selfridges out of his own accord so when he told me I asked him to pick something up for me in the beauty hall. He didn't get it as it was just too crowded.

I like the atmosphere of Liberty but don't mind Selfridges.

What I do hate is shopping at Christmas so I have been buying presents online and in the shops for the last few weeks.

hello, and thanks for the nice welcome. All this talk of bedding is making me crave my bed. Sadly with two teenies, I don't get to spend much time in it. White Company, plain white/v simple design for me please plus a toddler, a mr tumble and god knows what else

ruby I love the valorie. Go for it... such pretty sparkles.
Sorry I can't keep up w the personals yet. Head frazzled - a week alone with the DC will do that...

yes decam, my old nn was Italianish. And queen, I'm a summer - I'd get the DVF in navy as sadly the bright blue one would make me green around the gills. As for style, I'm a romantic classic - I expected to be a 100% natural, so am still in shock . Just bought this coat - need to double check colour irl, but style is perfect.

Linus glad you got your Jalouses how exciting! Am watching part 2 of the Tunnel. Really v good. Clemence is v sexy in a weird geeky way.

Just ordered this

I just hope the red is nice as I am fussy about my reds

Boots are going back tomorrow. Just don't love them and if you don't love an item , whatever the price, you never will. Thanks for your comments. Will keep looking.
No bloody wi Fi still. The good thing is that we are watching tv as a family which is lovely teens not plugged in

shearling boots for Marsha

Lolol Shop

Just started laughing at that. Love

Just what I need.

Yeti called and he wants his legs back!

Dry I think you're right. It's good to be strict about what stays imo. Gotta love it.

Should I be concerned that I keep typing GIN instead of GRIN when I want one of these ??

Have made many mistakes over the years ...Marsha .

Good call Dry

Shop

I've made a few too. I have sent loads back. When I set up pin account and my wardrobe board I looked through my outnet purchases. Some corkers in there! Glad I sent them back.
