MNVogue - Vol 28 (the Christmas edition)

[libertychick]

Calling on style and fashion fanatics, this is the space for frivolity and fun (though it gets a bit tense at sales time) . All welcome.

I'm expecting DH and I will look a bit like this by the end of the day - did I mention the jeans will have a high elastane content?

I'm planning to wear oversize jumper with 7FAM skinnies. Slippers in the house, bikers for a walk. Sparkly necklace for the bling and probably a Santa hat, all accessorised with a flute!

I didn't know you played the flute liberty

Can't get your jumper link to work...... I like the sound of it all

I am imagining a VERY happy MrShop when presented with Shop in nothing but spangly tinsel around her neck.

I am a very talented woman Shop

Oooooooo noooooo mig no tinsel in this house
Oh f@ckedy f@ck what shall I wear?!!!!
I can't do more shopping.

Not sure Great Uncle P will appreciate it mig

Lol at flute.

Not sure yet Shop, same problem I usually have, too dressy or normal every day clothes.

Try again with the jumper

Evening all...

I think I'll be wearing sweaty betty wide leg yoga pants, with a bit of cashmere.
We're having a lazy day with just one or two visitors due in the morning.

We're debating steak and chips for tea
Might do Christmas meal on Christmas eve or boxing day though instead.
I do all the cooking but I don't go mad, it's basically Sunday dinner with a few extras and pud.

Darn links to pin not working final attempt

Nope still not working liberty
That's the issue marsha I can't do dress and 6" heels on uneven stone kitchen floor in front of AGA. It's going to be the old faithful cream silk blouse AGAIN isn't it?

Shop has to be a dress day - Great Uncle P would appreciate some pins on display??

Oops - cross post

I have no idea what to wear christmas day, I have no sparkles at all and I'm not sure I'll have time to shop now

Missed a bit off my post...

What are you all planning to eat?

Oh Marsha and Amber what lovely days you've both had.

No fashion news at all today....but have just returned from late night shopping.
In Top Shop with DS and Dd buying vouchers at 8pm ish...at the till, when a girl raced in, dressed up to the nines (orange legs, impossibly high even for me platforms,false lashes, very black eyebrows, white blonde hair, dress just covering her not-terribly-pert bottom)
"Quick, the tags still on my dress, I bought it yesterday and only noticed in the taxi!!!!" ....
The sales girls had to take her behind the till and get the tag off, it was not pretty, but we all had a laugh DS eyes nearly popped out of his head off she tottered, we all chorused "have a great evening!"

Maybe this dress which I have in green with necklace?
Have you seen the news about the theatre roof collapse? Awful.......

LOL dry
Anni traditional turkey dinner for 10 here.

I never bother dressing up that much. It is a stay undressed as long as possible day.

It is usually a cool pair of pants, a sweater or top and socks! I would only put on shoes to leave the house. I like those slouchy luxe track style pants by Heimstone, Wang and McCartney (with unusual combinations of fabrics and maybe a stripe down the side) so may wear something like that with a tucked in shirt and a wool hoodie if we go for a walk. On my feet- shoe boots or my Pour La Victoire snakeskin brogues I bought last week from The Outnet.

I don't wear jewellery because it'd get slaughtered in the cooking. Copious use of perfume to mask all the scents of the kitchen is needed.

it is awful isn't it Shop lots of people wounded apparently

That looks like a perfect xmas day outfit Shop.

DH and I have just been debating food - steak, with roasties and veg and posh gravy. Something chocolately for dessert.

Off to bed Night all

Brunch-
Candied bacon, home made Pancakes with blueberry maple syrup, scrambled egg and salmon, juice and champagne.

Christmas evening meal at about 6pm onwards-
Retro Lobster and shrimp cocktail to start. Then turkey with a cornbread, pecan and cranberry stuffing, creamed swede with nutmeg, sprouts w/ chestnuts and everything else you'd expect. Christmas Pudding (Nigel Slater's recipe as we have done for ten years) Creme De Menthe Roulade, cheeses and home made crackers and oatcakes, fresh dates and nuts.
