MN Vogue - vol 30

[shopafrolic]

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

Do Post links later. It'll be a lovely thing for us all to wake up to. I hope you have the best of days

shop thank you.
After four years in the desert I pretty much needed everything. Dh has the best taste. We have been working on building a good quality basic wardrobe since last summer and I lost my baby weight.

It's all good

Happy birthday Barbie, I hope you have a wonderful day

Sleeps birthday is Sunday, same as mine. Another pair of birthday twins on MNV!

Happy birthday Barbie
live pressie thread! :o

Has anyone bought from Monier frères ? Someone linked this site a while back.

I haven't Dry but I think the site is fine.

Happy birthday Barbie! Hope you are having a great one.

Dry MrsCB has bought from Monier Freres and said they were fine on another thread.

I think Foxy and Amber got their Pashlis from there Dry

yes I'm pretty sure they did.

Happy birthday, Barbie! Great presents.

Bags, oh I love them, especially Anya Hindmarch, Prada and Bottega Veneta. Used to love Mulberry but not anymore.

Dry, I ordered from Monnier Freres before Christmas and all good, quick delivery etc.

Hope you are feeling better, QueenC and glad it is not PR. My dad had that, it was scary. He is on Warfarin ever since.

Still waiting on a shirt from Atterley Rd, didn't like what I've received so far from them and the poncho is not a good colour for me. I am very tempted to get another DVF dress while the sales are on.

Good night all. Has been lovely to have some happiness and frivolity.

Good one, just what I needed.

Barbie looking forward to your birthday links.

Quick AR order update. Same result for me as Decam with the Julie Brandt top - cream rather than white and way too big. This Baum und Pferdgarten scarf is lovely and soft but I don't love it - it's various shades of grey rather than grey and white so looks a bit 'meh' IMO. The print on this top doesn't really appeal IRL so back it goes too!

These Filippa K trousers are great. Definite keepers and would recommend for pear shapes. Feel lovely too.

Really looking forward to your links Barbie

Shame about the scarf Liberty it looks really nice

Happy Birthday Barbie!!! Have a great day and don't forget the links!!
Loving all the bag porn, I just love bags. The cobalt blue Celine that Linus linked is just stunning.

For Shop pointy but £££

bother

Happy birthday Barbie! Lucky you to have such a tasteful and generous DH - have a great day.

I am deliberately NOT opening any of the bag links. I have no money left after my sales frenzy and, as you all know, my resolve is weak (ie non-existent).

AR package arrived today and I'm fairly ambivalent. The Maison Scotch Parisienne jeans look nice, although may be on the snug side (annoyingly, as I have MS chinos one size up that are HUUUUUGE). The AV dress (yes, I bought the same one) looks lovely for Spring/summer and for my upcoming 4 days in Spain for a family party (March - v excited, just booked today). Not sure about the tops, especially the one that arrived without labels on and smells very strongly of something I suspect to be fabric softener as in worn and returned . The other is OK, although I haven't yet tried anything on so will reserve judgement. They were all v inexpensive though and with it being such a faff to return I may as well keep it all. Whatever may be no good for me can be passed onto DD1, so nothing wasted.
I'm afraid I also paid a visit to mytheresa today and my reflexes just kept clicking buttons until I'd bought that lush Isabel Marant Etoile tweed jacket. That really is enough now. I'm actually feeling a little ashamed of myself and I still have 3 JCrew orders to come. Disclaimer - I have bought everything on very substantial discounts, hence the slightly manic approach to shopping recently.
But aren't these little beauties cute?

V cute shoes Grumpy. Love that you bought the AV dress. at the IM jacket.

Quick catch up

Dry your ‘dh home, hide visa bill, hide mn’ made me roar! I can totally identify with that

Welcome overreaction and NUCF - really appreciate the nice comments. Welcome back Umlauf - so glad you and your family are all ok. How did the christening go or have you had it yet?

one I say yay to tortoiseshell glasses on a redhead.

Hope you are feeling a bit better QueenC

Anni 6lbs weightloss is fantastic – well done!

To save you opening 19 links I have made a birthday board.

I now am that girl who has 25+ pieces still tagged and unworn in her closet

I hope I don't come across as a spoilt, shallow person on here
Dh did very well, as most of the stuff was basic pieces to complete my wardrobe he got some fantastic savings.

The only ones im not too sure about are the trousers, I'm 5,3 so very short and therefore they need to be altered a fair bit. I don't like how they look on nap. Much too baggy at the ankles. I was thinking of taking them to the ankle? And thoughts?

The cream c&p jumper is shorter than I'm used too, I could later which is perfect for this weather but I'm wondering if I'll be forever trying to stretch it down.

The two LNA t's look a lot better in real life, perfect for casual days and layering

Later = layer.

I make myself look illiterate on here due to time restraints and I phone

Thank you for all the nice comments about my bag too. I'm glad it looks ok being worn casual because I'm all about casual and it wouldn't get a look in otherwise!

Barbie, your presents look wonderful - I think we all need a DH like yours! I have just shown your board to my DH and told him he has a hard act to follow for my birthday in March.

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday Barbie!

Your presents are lovely, full of great basics!

Well done MrBarbie!

Re. AR, I am not happy with them either as they sent the wrong colour Becksondergaard scarf to DMIL for Christmas and then I couldn't exchange as they had sold out the colour I wanted.

I showed DH the cobalt Céline last night and he just rolled his eyes.
