Quickly before bath and bedtime:

santa I agree with you re Chanel and Oscar de la Renta. The latter showed a gorgeous dress with an Ikat print (maybe the same one AW wears a bit later in the film?)

If only I had the budget! My dream would be to own a Chanel jacket. Maybe one day...

And it is true that AW seemed a bit sad about the fact her siblings deem her job less important than theirs. And her daughter wanting to do something a bit more worthy is typical.

If AW had been a famous neurosurgeon I bet her daughter would have gone the other way into a more 'frivolous' career like fashion.

I need to order Mademoiselle C now! And ask DH to put that Bergdorf documentary on my Ipad.

Grin back from my singing lesson. tutor says I'm doing brilliantly and he says when I sing an actual song (as opposed to doing scales etc) that I am transformed and I am not the person who first walked in Grin

Hello everyone! We took dd to see the consultant allergist this afternoon. He confirmed she has a nut allergy. I am relieved we know but absolutely Angry with the doctor who tried to make me feel like an over protective mother. Before he did the tests, I talked about how this one nut lead to the huge welt within 10 minutes, and challenges with sun cream, her eczema and asthma. He said i presented a story that all knit together so he was fairly sure that he skin would react in controlled testing. Thank you so much for your support at the time.Smile

On fashion note, I used my Marcie for the first time in about 6 months todayBlush I love that bag. Definitely thinking Paraty would be lovely!

OneLittleLady · 15/11/2013 18:20

Novice that's rubbish, good that you now know for sure though and take appropriate steps in regards to care over it etc. Shame on the doctor who tried to fob you off Angry Thanks for you though

BrandyAlexander · 15/11/2013 18:33

Thanks OneSmile and WineWineWineWine for your singing achievements!

OneLittleLady · 15/11/2013 18:40

oooh, Novice I'd love some wine but I am being good and sticking to my detox. I might have a cheeky glass or two..three when it's over though!

LinusDKD · 15/11/2013 18:40

novice thank god you have a proper diagnosis now. I think you should let your GP know that he was wrong!

one well done on your singing lesson! The Power of Music!

shopafrolic · 15/11/2013 19:36

I don't think DS has ever had nuts..... Hmm glad you've got help now novice perhaps I should try him on peanut butter as he has eczema and sun lotion issues.........

shopafrolic · 15/11/2013 19:37

Dry which scarf did you get? The orange rust one or the red / green? Tempted to head to Zara tomorrow with DS....

shopafrolic · 15/11/2013 19:39

Have just nuked a beef stew that should have been in the Simmering oven but I left it in the Roasting oven for 5 hours!!! Arse.

shopafrolic · 15/11/2013 20:18

All set for London dry?

Drywhiteplease · 15/11/2013 20:23

this one Shop . Like the silk and wool mix and the colours. Free postage and returns.....no point wasting time tomorrow looking for it, nothing to loose really (apart from the cost, I'm supposed to be saving for my camel coat.....and I've just bought a scarf to go with a coat that I haven't even bought yet Hmm anyone else do mindless things like this?)

So excited about my day tomorrow. A day spent with one of my oldest friends over 20 yrs!! , former fashion work colleague, in London shopping with fab lunch too.......perfect! Smile

I'd have said when you were 1 dry Obvs.
Hmmm that's the one I like too - would be the most expensive one. I think it could look good with my Christmas parka. I'm jealous of your day tomorrow, have fun.

Drywhiteplease · 15/11/2013 20:33

Too late. Your free postage and returns was a massive enabler. Have ordered. You're right, will look awesome with the Dagmar.
