A safe place to talk fashion stuff. Bring a passion for fashion (high end or high street), a positive state of mind and lots of links.
Continuing on from vol 29 here

Gah! I had that with my plimsolls and J Crew jumper. I only feel really good when the stuff sells out on sale! Grin

Bad photography by AR - it's nowhere near that shiny. Perhaps that's putting people off. For lurkers a much more realistic pic to help your purchasing decision.......

So being fashion designer ignorant have Lanvin always done these and did Whistles copy them then with these

OP posts:
MarshaBrady · 09/01/2014 13:52

Have no idea how long Lanvin have done those, but that is pretty damn close.

LinusDKD · 09/01/2014 13:52

Sorry shop didn't see the Floretes picture. They do look short with those shoes but I still like them with your missoni flats.

Maybe more of a spring/summer look?

shopafrolic · 09/01/2014 13:54

Of course, I now prefer the Lanvins...... but they are completely out of my league and will go on my Just Dreaming board.

They are lovely.

MarshaBrady · 09/01/2014 14:01

And to back it up - all the nice people reading, you're welcome to join in. We like de-lurkers.

Ok has been a blast. Back later.

Annianni · 09/01/2014 14:13

Those Lanvins are lovely Shop
I'm still sulking that I didn't get the chi chis

shopafrolic · 09/01/2014 14:15

Does anyone have the Me&em skinny 2 in 1 merino cashmere knit. The one you wear as a crew neck or add the snood for a roll neck? Any feedback?

Coming out of the woodwork for the umpteenth time to say hi and that I think you are all lovely on this thread. Am embarrassed that I lurk more than post, but you all come across as warm, kind and welcoming, and I am Confused and Sad that people could think of you as otherwise.

Will try and get involved now and then, but Happy New Year to you all in the meantime.

blondambition · 09/01/2014 14:23

Mignonette PM! Smile

shopafrolic · 09/01/2014 14:26

Yay!! Something good has come out of the yukkiness. Hi Blond how are you?! Happy New Year to you too......

All good here thanks Shop. Trying to stay away from the sales temptations and wait until I need something but it's hard. Lots of things even more reduced on Me & Em. I like the cream boyfriend knit, but sent back the forest version when it shrank loads in length after one wash…tempting though.

Have you thought about the J Brand stacked skinnies if you're after a longer length? I am tall and am thinking of ordering these.

shopafrolic · 09/01/2014 14:37

Good to know re: boyfriend knit - that was in my basket - have hit delete. I do like the skinny jumper but I have already bought a cream sweater.....Hmm. Am heading out now so will leave them in my basket and see what fate says.
Lovely J Brands - will have to try as not sure of my sizing. Thanks

Hello Blond. Smile

MarshaBrady · 09/01/2014 14:42

Hi Blond thanks that's lovely to hear Smile. Good to see you again!

And anyway I've met loads of you and I know how nice you are.

MarshaBrady · 09/01/2014 15:03

Love your pic Barbie. Brilliant!

Speaking of Chanel. Love this look. Could almost recreate with Frames, coat and check. No Chanel however.

BaileyWhite · 09/01/2014 15:07

Definitely Une Serieuse in her styling today Marsha.

LinusDKD · 09/01/2014 15:26

Just posted these on the Chanel bag thread by mistake.

Anyway, silver pointy flats for amber

Drywhiteplease · 09/01/2014 15:32

Ok....the good news;
The Gigis have arrived and Anni I love you! Smile they're gorgeous and not a colour I'd normally invest in footwear so MNV got me out of my box once again. And all for £13.70 inc postage. Bargain of the year, in fact I may have to put the first note in our "happy memories jar"!!!! Grin

The bad news;
My visa bill has arrived Sad how on earth am I going to work out what I owe after all the returns etc? It's going to take a while.

I'm wearing my new jeans...they are totally fantastic and so comfy.

Like you Shop I'd like some pointy flats, maybe in tan . Keep me posted with any you see.

Shit....DH home early......hide bill, hide MN

BaileyWhite · 09/01/2014 15:47

They look almost burnished Linus. Not Bacofoil bright, but gleaming although I sound a bit of a fashion-tool for saying that.

Love them and love these although i want to gag myself for admitting to liking anything Mary Portas 'designs'. And here are some more choos for you all.
