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.

So the advice was buy it. So this little bag will be winging it's way to me soon. I figured for free delivery I may as well try it as it is gorgeous and that's how much birthday money I have left.

Drywhiteplease · 24/12/2013 20:31

Bloody love Christmas ! shop sounds like a very good night.must rush and be sociable.

MarshaBrady · 24/12/2013 20:45

Good one QueenC, I like your prompt decision making too Grin.

Mig I'd love a Proenza Schouler anything really. Think it's the name and NYC, fab.

Dry that is so funny re stocks and shares. Love that jumper, very cosy.

Santa I love that jumper. Good present! Always think the après ski look is excellent.

Amber love the scarf.

Shop great news on the knits. Mine are under the tree .

Ruby good work on the Me&Em.

Linus fabulous!

Chartreuse thanks, I managed to get the PD in the end. Unfortunately was a bit late but the good thing is that it's 64mm and they are made with 63mm so should be ok with my prescription. But will double check. They feel a bit better now, hopefully will settle.

Novice excellent! Be fab to see them to compare on pin. Bet they are lovely.

One I'm sure we'll help you shop.

Liberty lovely, how are you feeling?

Two choc chip cookies for Father Christmas, milk and a carrot. Dc asleep. Really fast! Four is the best age I think for the excitement and must get to sleep in a hurry. So sweet.

Big Christmas wave to Anni, Because, Turq, What. This post is too long!

It is fabulous to have you all, it puts a gorgeous vogue sparkle on everything. And thinking of you all too.

MarshaBrady · 24/12/2013 20:47

ps champagne is for tomorrow, so I'll probably expand on the compliments then Wink

OneLittleLady · 24/12/2013 21:09

There will be no champagne for me tomorrow. Gp has prescribed me oxycodone for the pain and the potential side effects from drinking with it are far from festive so it's orange juice for me. I hope one or two of you can, you know, have a glass or three for me!

Mignonette · 24/12/2013 21:45

Love to you all Flowers and absent friends - we are all thinking of you at Christmas. We know it is not the easiest time for many.

You really are the most fabulous bunch of clever, funny, warm, supportive and super cool women. You are my friends and my life has been greatly enriched by your presence. Flowers to you all. I hope tomorrow is magical and free of stress (well as much as possible).

Queen love the Coach bag. Have been to the pub and missed the pin advice session. DH is now gracing twitter wearing his Santa snowman w/ 3D carrot sweater!

Marsha I miss having wide eyed awed little ones preparing for Santa's arrival. We used to scatter tiny scraps of carrots about the room then in the morning make a big fuss about Santa being naughty and bringing his blooming reindeers in the house again, chewing carrots and spitting them everywhere. The children used to love it and side passionately with poor hard working Santa and his cold hungry reindeer Xmas Grin.

justasecond · 24/12/2013 22:13

MarshaBrady · 24/12/2013 22:16

santamarianovella · 24/12/2013 22:20

shopafrolic · 24/12/2013 22:33

Mince pie eaten, carrot out, apple juice (DS' idea) drunk. A little table and animal chairs built and stood in front of the fire with stocking and presents on it. One very excited little boy (and very excited mummy and daddy)
Raising my glass to you all - and to absent friends who I am holding tight. Lots of love and Merry Christmas. xx

Topazandpearl · 24/12/2013 22:54

Merry Christmas everyone from a mostly lurker. Haven't posted for ages but have been dipping in and out to try to keep up. You all sound such lovely supportive people. Have a wonderful, and stylish, day tomorrow WineThanks

Drywhiteplease · 24/12/2013 23:04

Oh I'm feeling the love! Happy crimbo to you all. Xxxxx

MarshaBrady · 24/12/2013 23:08

Merry Christmas Topaz!

Mignonette · 24/12/2013 23:38

My son is locked in the bathroom having an epic hissy fit because I told him to put the wrappers from his food in the bin now. Not in ten minutes. Not never. Not hoping his Mother will do it.

Am Angry and trying not to be. He does sod all around the place then gets arrogantly hissy if I dare to ask him to do one thing.

Merry Christmas all. This too shall pass....

Drywhiteplease · 24/12/2013 23:49

Oh mig I share your pain. Have petulant teen too. Ignore him,leave him in the bathroom and go to bed. He'll cheer up when he starts opening presents (put the wrapper in his stocking.....do not under any circumstances put it in the bin yourself!) you won't get anywhere continuing the argument tonight.xxxxx

BrandyAlexander · 24/12/2013 23:56

Poor you Mig.

Mince pie and chocolate biscuits eaten, milk has been drank, carrot gone and elf snow dust icing sugar is by the fire place. Dd is so sweet. She insisted we buy Santa a present to leave for him as no one gets him anything. Bless.

Sleepwhenidie · 25/12/2013 00:07

Merry Christmas to you all, love to everyone, especially the absent friends.

One so sorry you are in pain Sad.

BecauseIsaidS0 · 25/12/2013 00:25

Well, this will teach me to make public service announcements about the weather. Plane almost crashed landing in Spain so we were diverted to another airport 500km south. And then put on a coach. Six effing hours. Surrounded by obnoxious youngsters and screaming babies (I can totally forgive the babies though).

MarshaBrady · 25/12/2013 06:53

Oh no Because, you poor thing!

Merry Christmas!

And to Sleep and Grumpy.

Everyone still asleep.

LinusDKD · 25/12/2013 07:02

Merry Christmas!

because what a way to spend Christmas Eve! I am glad you are ok though!

santa that jumper is gorgeous! My DF is completely clueless about fashion, even after being married to DM for nearly 40 years!

one I really hope you have a pain free Christmas!

mig (((hugs)))

MarshaBrady · 25/12/2013 07:03

And to Decam!

I like that icing sugar idea Novice, just got time.

BecauseIsaidS0 · 25/12/2013 07:40

Merry Christmas!

In a far better mood after a lovely Christmas Eve dinner with the family (and a good dousing in Albariño). Planning to wear my Markus Lupfer/Katie Hillier jumper with jeans and wondering if I should also throw in my wedding shoes on (they are sparkly and they have some pink in them)

Mignonette · 25/12/2013 08:10

Merry Christmas everybody!

Am about to dive bomb the children to wake them up and open our stockings.

Because That sounds awful and hopefully you are now resting with family and calm.

Have a lovely day everybody and may your bling be bright.
