Do you...

  • love fashion (high and low end), style, beauty?
  • spend way more time than is healthy for anyone thinking about the contents of your wardrobe?
  • wish you had the nerve to apply for Mastermind with your specialist subject being the history of H&M collaborations?

If so come and chat! Hugs and kisses allowed

Hello All

Some fab pins.

Amber great haircut, really suits you.

Dry I need a clear out too, is your DD on loan? Wink

Novice your new PA sounds tremaze, it would take me ages to dither sort that lot out.

Shop hope the Lures work out. I have to say mine are really too big now, which is a shame. I got a 29, which felt gorgeous on (I'm a 10/12 on bottom), but in hindsight I really should have sized down further.

Have just taken deliver of Sam Edelman Posey boots from Brand Alley (no problems - only ordered at the weekend!), they're keepers! Might be an option Marsha?

carrie74 · 15/01/2014 18:14

Posey boots

And welcome delivers and newbies (sorry, v rude of me!).

carrie74 · 15/01/2014 18:14

Delurkers! Not delivers

Annianni · 15/01/2014 18:20

Pin on mnv for Amber and Marsha.
I know you both like these...

shopafrolic · 15/01/2014 18:23

Carrie if your 29s are in good condition and you're thinking of selling could you PM me? Thanks

LinusDKD · 15/01/2014 19:22

shop I sent the parcel this afternoon, so hopefully you'll get it soon. I also added some Paige Skinnies that are too big for me. They are a size 28 but they were perfect when the Jimmies fitted me.

They won't replace your Lures but maybe they will do in the mean time.

Fedupnagging · 15/01/2014 19:26

Umlauf & One, hope you feel better soon.
Amber, found your blog-your hair is lovely. 100 pairs of knickers Shock
Darkness that disco bag is lush.
Dry sounds like you are having a v successful clear out. I am down to 30 pairs of shoes/sandals and 6 pairs of boots. Well, 31 as have just purchased a pair!

Hi to newbies and delurkers. Am making an effort to post more often instead of lurking.

Am about to pick up ds2 (can't wait for him to pass his driving test) then will post some pics.

shopafrolic · 15/01/2014 19:30

linus I actually love you. I really do. Please let me know if there is anything I can do in return. And drinks on me when we finally meet. Thanks
Off to Pilates. Wish me luck.

santamarianovella · 15/01/2014 19:40

blair and umlauf I have the MIH Marrakech,and being 5'5 I had to shorten them,they still look good,but can only wear them with heels.

dry that's a lot of shoes!

shop yay!

mrsR so great to have you back.

darkness gorgeous bag.

Did you lot ignore my MIC sighting? Shock

MarshaBrady · 15/01/2014 19:45

Santa I love a good MiC sighting! But I can't find your post. Who did you see?

Carrie thanks, that's really good to know re Brand Alley. I had tipped the emails into trash because I thought they were no good. But have reinstated incase some pettys come up (I'm sure they'll be pleased).

Drywhiteplease · 15/01/2014 19:46

Well after 4hrs I have a very tidy wardrobe, 5 1/2 bin bags and an Ebay pile.......phew! GrinWhen you said you had 6 bin bags shop I was Shock like "as if" but I'm shocked to find how quickly mine filled up!Blush I don't feel upset now it's all bagged and honestly think I should revisit because there are at least 20 more items I could get rid of Confused
Linus you are so lovely...lucky Shop you're having a great day hope you survive Pilates

MarshaBrady · 15/01/2014 19:47

Well done Dry, good work.

Linus that is so lovely of you.

Drywhiteplease · 15/01/2014 19:48

You know what I think I've got another half hour in me....I'm going back in, I'm on a roll..........

santamarianovella · 15/01/2014 19:57

marsha i think i may have posted it on the mnv,
I saw Lucy,she is even more prettier IRL , I'm not a huge fan of MIC,but I thought of you and shop

LinusDKD · 15/01/2014 20:00

Hahaha dry! I am impressed! Fancy coming over and doing my wardrobe?

LinusDKD · 15/01/2014 20:05

What does MNV think of this

I love the colours but it's still £££ and I am trying to be good. if they still have it in my size when I get 'paid' I might go for it though

I think mig and queenc would be the only one who likes this colour combination but maybe I'm wrong.

santamarianovella · 15/01/2014 20:09

I don't know linus ,its too bright?

Drywhiteplease · 15/01/2014 20:10

linus I like it a lot. Like bold colour combos but have never dared do it....I'd wear that sweater though.

We were talking about Johnny Logan last night.....what the heck has happened to Michael Ball ( on the bake off now) used to quite fancy him Sad

santamarianovella · 15/01/2014 20:14

dry I googled him, really? He looks a bit like Elle McPherson former partner.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 15/01/2014 20:15

Linus I love the shape of it and the purple, what would you wear it with?

Dry 4 hours well spent, have you got lots of room to fill with new purchases now? Wink

santa good to know re the marrakech, I will have to get quite a bit chopped so was slightly worried it might ruin the shape. I'm 5'6 but with little legs.

Don't watch MIC, but my boss told me I am like Lucy (personality not looks!) but I have no idea if that's a good thing or not!

Remembered earlier I have a code for 25% off J crew, THANKME, lasts until 31st Jan. Just a bit of enabling in case anyone was thinking of getting anything!

QueenCadbury · 15/01/2014 20:17

I really like that linus (you know me well!) but it's one of those things that needs trying on as it depends on your boobs and where the squares sit I guess.

dry I'm impressed with your work.

Do all of you have as many shoes as amber and dry? Just doing a quick mental count of mine and I have 3 pairs boots, 3 sandals, 4 converse, 4 pairs of heels and 3 flats. Oh, that's actually more than I thought Grin

LinusDKD · 15/01/2014 20:17

I know it's bright but magenta really suits me. Wink

Never fancied M. Ball but I do think he's funny.

I really shouldn't be watching baking programmes on fast days.

Drywhiteplease · 15/01/2014 20:18

Blair actually my wardrobe doesn't look a lot different Confused...... Sure I can squeeze some bits in though Wink

QueenCadbury · 15/01/2014 20:21

I've just remembered someone else mentioned skinny flares (can't remember who?). It's a look I love but I'm not convinced it works on me anymore. I've worked out that I had the jeans when I lived in London so they're at least 5 years old if not more and I wore them a lot for going out in with my shoe boots so maybe that's why they feel so wrong now? I've also gone off denim with black boots so maybe if I could finally find the perfect navy pair they'd look better with those?

LinusDKD · 15/01/2014 20:23

You are right queenc, it depends on where the squares sit on your chest. And as NaP don't do free returns I probably won't risk it.

Blair I would wear it with black wide leg trousers like on the website or the black wide skirt I bought today. It does look quite short so I don't think it would work with skinnies.
