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

Santa good one, Lucy is a fave. Not surprised she's very pretty.

AmberNectarine · 16/01/2014 07:56

Don't be Blush fedup - I've probably got my priorities wrong having 6x as many shoes as knickers but no one sees those

It is the turn of the Comptoir wedge boots today, worn with a cobalt twist front Hobbs dress, black Calvin Klein coat, huge burgundy Helen Moore faux fur stole and crimson Pashli. Am also wearing a rose gold spider bracelet by Bill Skinner.

Nice look Amber ....I thought you bought the black pashli......got 2? Confused

Red,black and animal print on here...with boots.

Oh no, Liberty! DVF have a few in stock, do they have the colour you want?

I still haven't ordered the dress I want as checked the credit card and Matches haven't refunded me the £250 in returns. So not linking here until they do!

Good news about the dress and jeans, Shop. Good things come to those who wait!

I'm a bit in Shock. Just dropped DS off at nursery and one of the mum's did the nursery run in her dressing gown! Surely that's a no-no? At least put a coat over your pyjamas? Grin

justa the Armani luminous silk is amazing! I treated myself to a fancy make up artist for my wedding and she swore by it, I've never looked back since! after years of chopping and changing. It lasts forever too.

libertychick · 16/01/2014 09:27

DVF have it Decam but shipping and taxes make it less of a bargain. I'm debating if I have time for a quick trip into Marylebone High St today to see if it's in store in Matches.

A dressing gown on the nursery run in the Home Counties Shop Shock She's either had an absolutely shit night/morning or bigger balls than most Grin.

Liberty good luck re the bag. I bet you see some amazing SS stuff in there at the same time. Matches always looks so pretty.

Decam I love the DvF go for it.

libertychick · 16/01/2014 09:36

The fashions gods have smiled Smile. I just had a quick look at Matches before getting off line and doing some work and the bag was showing as back in stock! Have ordered it - phew.

So no trip to Matches but that's probably better for my wallet and my work!

No Dry I got the Crimson Pashli and a little black Balenciaga in the end.

MarshaBrady · 16/01/2014 09:37

Excellent Liberty!

libertychick · 16/01/2014 09:44

High fives Marsha Grin I am v happy.

Lingering in a coffee shop (drinking decaf Sleep). Fab looking woman sitting outside smoking. She's in knee length black boots, black jacquard skinny trousers, fitted black biker jacket with a long black faux fur gillet over. Mid back length tousled black hair, great skin. Like a grown up elegant goth.

Damn, spotted Grin
Liberty great news! The luck rubbed off.

libertychick · 16/01/2014 09:49

It sure did. Right MUST GO TO WORK!

AmberNectarine · 16/01/2014 09:59

Ah but she'll soon look like a crone due to smoking. Naughty.

NUFC69 · 16/01/2014 09:59

So, just dropped off DH at hospital to have an endoscopy; he took the DT to read.I had a quick look earlier. There is an article about GG and a wonderful photo of how not to dress. Has anyone seen Lady Victoria Harvey's dress - described as "she forgot to get dressed, so rolled in some tar!" Sorry, can't link, on my phone.

Annianni · 16/01/2014 10:10

That dress was rather striking NUFC :o

I need help on mnv... Will pin a couple of things in a minute, if someone can find me them cheaper then I will love you forever!

shopafrolic · 16/01/2014 10:20

Anni I'm at the physio but will look when I get home.

Annianni · 16/01/2014 10:28

Thanks Shop I should have ordered something and now it's sold out!

MarshaBrady · 16/01/2014 11:08

Oh Anni that sucks bad luck.

Two random things: so mild today, and I really do not need to see men's catwalk. I care not!

I bumped into a friend I hadn't seen for ages today and had a great chat. Love this area.

Umlauf · 16/01/2014 11:39

this jaeger boutique dress arrived this morning and it's beautiful. I'll wear it with a navy skinny belt and cardigan, and am now wondering whether I can justify buying gigis in navy too!

Annianni · 16/01/2014 12:03

I've pinned something else... Opinions please...

Umlauf · 16/01/2014 12:06

And the gap patched skinnies (I've pinned them) which I do a rather like, although I know what you mean about the pale patches anni and they are very tight! It's like Christmas with all the deliveries at mine today!!

Umlauf · 16/01/2014 12:08

I really like the frame ones anni the wash is perfect for s/s but does nothing for me and my jLo derrière Sad so a vote for the frames from me!

Annianni · 16/01/2014 12:16

But I'm a bit fat at the moment... Not sure about size 14 bottoms in pale jeans :o
