Barbie I sometimes wear mine to bed too, but only because am too lazy to take off!
Me+em order just arrived and is perfect.
I am a country girl most definitely although have lived in various cities I just need to be by the sea. Lived in Chicago and being by the lake was just as good plus shopping was excellent. Now I live in the depths of nowhere and almost everyone wears performance child friendly clothes. Occasionally get a city shopping trip but most of my shopping is online and lived out vicariously through you MNV ladies Grin

www.net-a-porter.com/product/375911 found it.

Not normally my style, but with hair up and skinny jeans it's working for me and hiding my muffin top Wink

Freya bikinis come in bra sizes, as do panache etc
Nice sweater barbie, looks v cosy. And I love navy.

MarshaBrady · 28/12/2013 11:14

Barbie I'd love a Jil S knit, looks gorgeous. Wish I'd seen that one!

QueenC shame about the colour. I like bubblegum too.

Heading to Regent St. Need to have a look.

foxysocks · 28/12/2013 11:17

hello all! have missed loads. am on new laptop, just getting used to it but so far so good.

lovely sweater barbie, and welcome back!

sales shopping has been low key yet perfectly formed Grin starry laptop case is here and is lush. also got this gorgeous dress yesterday, and some fab REN morrocan rose skincare from space nk.

ILs taken children out so am chilling with the Friends box set DH got for me, hot coffee, kindle and laptop. so quiet, is bliss.

MarshaBrady · 28/12/2013 11:46

Shop blinking tech! I think I'm getting it, there's another one left.

There's an oversized Marant coat from £825 to £250. What do you think yay or nay?

Spring stuff looks gorgeous. Which I guess is the constant lure of fashion!

MarshaBrady · 28/12/2013 11:47

Bliss indeed Foxy!

RubyLovesShopping · 28/12/2013 11:54

What colour coat Marsha?
And what are you getting?
Dragging the family up big hill in the sunshine, they're squabbling, in my mind I'm in regent st too!

santamarianovella · 28/12/2013 12:00

barbie that sweater is gorgeous,I had my eyes on this one, but after receiving a color block sweater as an Xmas gift,think I'm all set for this winter. And I agree with everyone,its not shallow to think about your appearance.

queen dh wants to live in the country at some point,he wants to live in a barn conversion. i think most people with hectic jobs dream about living in a calmer place,but I don't think they can manage to live there for long period of times,it can be lonely and boring in the winter months.

MarshaBrady · 28/12/2013 12:00

Very dark charcoal, will see if I can find it online. Low battery darn phone!

santamarianovella · 28/12/2013 12:02

marsha which coat? Can you add to pin?

MarshaBrady · 28/12/2013 12:02

Getting Filippa K cream jumper, thought of Shop so sent a text!

Santa what do you think about Marant oversize coats?

santamarianovella · 28/12/2013 12:12

Is it the charcoal collarless one? If returns are easy go for it!

AmberNectarine · 28/12/2013 12:27

Liberty have blotted their copy book with me - they have sold out of my beautiful scarf so cannot fulfil my order. I am so gutted - I REALLY wanted that. Have sent shitty email!

MarshaBrady · 28/12/2013 12:28

Big collar one, oversized peacoat. Exchange only!

Annianni · 28/12/2013 12:38

Changing room photo please Marsha

Barbie pm!

santamarianovella · 28/12/2013 12:42

I think I know it! Its very "you" and £250 is too good to miss,and if you don't like it,maybe you can keep the store credit for SS stuff?

shopafrolic · 28/12/2013 14:02

Sorry!! Trust me to go to the zoo with no phone signal when the shopping drama kicks off. Marsha did you buy both? The coat looked fab. I did try and reply...... Bargain too!

BrandyAlexander · 28/12/2013 14:10

Hi everyone! Back from pils. Is it me or are the sales totally uninspiring this year? nothing to get excited about!

OneLittleLady · 28/12/2013 14:34

Ahh, novice i was hoping you'd pop up! Dp has a bit of decent clothing he wants rid of so I wanted to ask if you'd be happy to take them for your charity along with mine when I've had a clear out? There may be a pair or two of barely worn shoes as well if you are able to take those?

QueenCadbury · 28/12/2013 14:38

I've sent the last couple of hours lying down feeling sick in a darkened room and now have sunglasses on! Bloody migraine. I often get menstrual migraines but have only had photophobia once before.

Lovely jumper barbie. I've got a bit confused with all the other shopping talk. When I return the bag, dh is saying that I should put the money into the joint account. Er, I don't think so matey. That was birthday money!

PHEW am home. God the stress of trying to negotiate social media in a changing room with low connection and fast-failing battery Grin

I bought the Filippa K cream jumper and the Isabel Marant coat. I'm very happy! I thought it was such a good reduction I couldn't help it, and I've always really wanted one (but not at fp!)

I also really loved an orange jumper and the Marant green waffle jumper we saw Shop, which was half price. But I thought I should be good and stop there.

I couldn't get onto pin to upload whilst there, have forgotten my password etc, but I will get a link and upload the shot. Hope you all like it now as too late! Grin

Mignonette · 28/12/2013 14:47

Poor Queen. That sounds awful.

Well we dragged ourselves out of the house for a lovely walk at the local wetland reserve. But I dropped DHs brand new camera on a rock and broke it Blush Sad and feel mortified. We only got to take one photo!

Oh and The Outnet have still not replied to my question about why my shoes came with NO SHOELACES. Grrrr.

Drywhiteplease · 28/12/2013 15:02

"Old baggy shit" QueenC that made me laugh.Grin
My DH has always dreamt of living in the countryside, and up here you can get a LOT for your money out of town. But I'm an urban woman at heart. I tried it for 2 years and I was lonely....I'm like a cow,like to live in a herd!Grin Views were fab,ESP when it snowed but driving the children all over the place and negotiating icy country roads nearly finished me off! I have dug my heels in to stay where we are which is kind of in between town and country, but not the big country house with land Sad Sad I feel gutted....not that DH has always wanted. he also wanted 5 children!!
Marsha missed the live shopping posts while killing myself at gym. Can you pin your purchases ?
And finally, it's Groundhog Day again, I'm doing my nails in prep for the almighty party where mum gets pissed tonight....not this year, oh no I'm being sensible Hmm. I'll probably wear my Warehouse dress and amazing shoe boots again have defo got my money's worth over the Christmas season.........does anyone else wear the same outfit to death if it's different people?

Sorry epic post!

MarshaBrady · 28/12/2013 15:03

How's the chick Mig? Seeing the photo reminded of some scatty thing we did when young. Bought a chick on holiday, realised we couldn't get it home so took it back to the shop. It grew loads in two days.

Poor you QueenC, hope you feel better.

Cream wool jumper here, happy that is is 100% lambswool and half price.

Gah can't find a link for the Marant coat. But have put a pic up instore. Hope you all like it!
