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

Lovely sounding outfit and Merry Christmas to you. I have dark grey slim leg pants from Helmut on with a Tangerine coloured sweatshirt from Uniqlo and my Pour La Victoire snakeskin grey brogues. My scarf is Marc Jacobs cotton jersey black and white doodle print and I have my grey/white/pale pink check Principles wool coat on.

Pin on mnv for Shop.

shopafrolic · 23/12/2013 10:05

I've ordered this Dagmar and this APC. Both in a large as they'd sold out of mediums but I'll only lose £5 if they don't work.

Right - back to Christmas stuff.

Drywhiteplease · 23/12/2013 10:22

Oh Shop I wanted that one and this one but too late. I'm totally rubbish Xmas Sad need a MNV tutorial on how to do sales get up early I guess, still in pjs!!!!

Right.....big pile of ironing and packing to do, but just can't be arsed Xmas Grin too chilled! I really need to get with it!!! bet you've all been to Waitrose already

Drywhiteplease · 23/12/2013 10:26

But well done, you'll wear both loads.

LinusDKD · 23/12/2013 12:19

Quickly popping in to say that I ordered the Etro scarf I pinned last week in the NaP sale. A big thank you for Talya for sending me a pm to tell me it was on sale.

I also wanted to buy the MK coatigan but my stupid bank had messed up my direct debit for my cc payments so I had to use DH's cc so I didn't want to go mad. And now it's sold out

Oh and another twist in the Decanter Saga: DMIL called me today to say that she had received a JL parcel containing a decanter (and she checked it was not broken Wink)

I am very confused as I had received a refund (already in my a/c) from them as they told me a replacement decanter would not arrive in time for Christmas. Shock

Wil try and catch up this evening!

MarshaBrady · 23/12/2013 12:21

So glad you got it Linus. Very beautiful.

santamarianovella · 23/12/2013 13:13

Dry wish id known you wanted something from the sales! I would have pm'ed you!
I read the Nap email sale at 6am! I sent a pm for linus as I knew she wanted the etro scarf!
I didn't get anything! Went back to sleep,and have been busy packing all morning ,we are supposed to go to my inlaws Later this afternoon,but it looks like we will leave earlier to avoid the storm! Will have a proper look once I reach there!

Drywhiteplease · 23/12/2013 13:19

Not to worry Santa probably better having a "good" month.
I'm panicking slightly at the amount of presents that are in the hall. Haven't even put the cases and I'm now wishing we hadn't got rid of the 4X4! Think DH will have a heart attack when he gets home Xmas Grin his present (turbo trainer ) may have to stay here mine must be small as I can't find it

BrandyAlexander · 23/12/2013 15:07

Hello! Firstly, you're all lovelyThanks

I have wavered on a couple of things on the NAP website but not bitten.

I am beginning to breathe more easily. I have been in the office but all is calm. The kids have been delivering cards and presents to the neighbours so that's one more thing off the list.

Dh called me earlier and dropped in to the conversation that he hasn't bought anything "big". I think he decided not to go down the bling route and now he's worried.Grin

The weather is awful here! My hair will look like rats tails by the time I get home.

shopafrolic · 23/12/2013 15:08

So our roof has had a bit of damage in this awful weather........ The roof to the little Tikes house that is - it blew right off Xmas Grin

Mignonette · 23/12/2013 15:13

Our aerial is hanging off and have aerial man swinging off the side of the house repairing it. Will invite him in for a bacon roll in a minute-poor soul.

It is frigid here so came back home rather swiftly to finish some editorial that came in at the last minute. Have joined a local MH campaign now I can no longer be harrassed for speaking out and will be doing some promo on local radio/TV for them at some point. Will PM you all when the time comes for sartorial advice and guidance.

Drywhiteplease · 23/12/2013 15:28

If I had £450 left I'd buy this saw it in the shop a few months ago and it was beautiful. V me.
this scarf is gorgeous too.

Mignonette · 23/12/2013 15:37

Think I saw somebody in that Stella dress Dry. Very nice.

Kate Winslet has called her new son 'Bear'.

Bear RocknRoll.
Bear Winslet.

OneLittleLady · 23/12/2013 15:48

Bear? Xmas Hmm

Mignonette · 23/12/2013 16:13

I know. part of me thinks it is really cute. The other part of me thinks Hmm. And the other little part of me says never raise an eyebrow at another parents choice of name.

Xmas Smile
OneLittleLady · 23/12/2013 16:19

I have a fairly unusual name and even though I love it now, I didn't when I was younger. I'm not exactly judging, just surprised I suppose, I would never have thought of bear as a 'proper' name IYSWIM?

Mignonette · 23/12/2013 16:24

Oh your name is beautiful One.

Bear is a little out there isn't it?

OneLittleLady · 23/12/2013 16:30

It's certainly more out there than I'd ever go Mig!

Drywhiteplease · 23/12/2013 17:54
