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

Urgh back atcha Amber...

I wasn't so drunk I bought anything though, not even the £1,750 rockstuds from Harrods Shock.

Swimming with the dc's this morning, not exactly what I feel like doing!

Umlauf · 18/01/2014 09:15

I quite like the rucksack thing, very practical with a baby, but I wouldnt spend loads as I think they'll be a flash in the pan. Maybe one from zatchels ??

I have decided to buy some navy gigis for the summer. I have gold ones which fit perfectly but no idea what size they are! The box is at my MILs house so I only have the shoe... Fellow gigi wearers (I think amber and anni are among you??) do you have any idea where the size is written on the shoe?!?

LinusDKD · 18/01/2014 09:15

Isn't it on the inside of the strap? Off to check.

Umlauf · 18/01/2014 09:15

That coach one is beautiful queen much classier than my zatchels pick!!

Umlauf · 18/01/2014 09:17

YES Linus thank you!! I could have sworn I looked there. 8.5. Awesome!

LinusDKD · 18/01/2014 09:18

Mine are a 7 1/2 m and a 7 m and it is on the reverse of the part that sits on the arch of your foot.

Btw I repinned those navy ones as I love mine and can always do with a navy pair.

Umlauf · 18/01/2014 09:21

I might get a 9. This baby has ruined my feet. Is there much difference between half sizes? I was going to go for black but navy is summerier I think and I´m imagining them with a tangerine pedicure!

Sleepwhenidie · 18/01/2014 09:25

Queen, lovely bags. I really like Coach. Are you sticking to no sugar? How are you finding it?

Shop, this book came up in conversation last night with my friend who works with same school as the author. She used it (was highly sceptical but so many colleagues mentioned it she decided to give it a go) and said that it was amazing, worked immediately. Your DS maybe still a bit young but I am going to give it a go, anything that reduces the level of yelling at the DC's to get ready every morning will be fantastic Smile

AmberNectarine · 18/01/2014 09:25

Mine are a 9 I think and I'm usually a 38.5/39. I think they run a little small.

MarshaBrady · 18/01/2014 09:25

Shop meant to say good work on the dresses, am sure one will be perfect.

QueenCadbury · 18/01/2014 09:26

If anyone else likes ballet flats this site has some lovely ones.

QueenCadbury · 18/01/2014 09:30

sleep apart from some biscuits last week when I was ill I haven't had any chocolate/juice/squash etc since new year. It's been surprisingly easy and I'm not missing my daily dairy milk at all. I haven't given up fruit/raisins and I'm sure there's sugar in some of the stuff I eat but I've become much more aware of hidden sugars. I'm out to dinner tonight and feel that I've broken the habit enough that it'll be ok to have some pudding. Life's too short to miss out on nice treats Smile

Turquoiseblue · 18/01/2014 09:36

Umlauf, my feet went up a 1/2 size post baby then back again when I went back to Pilates/ exercise and lost the baby weight I m odd

Sorry Queen, I m just not convinced by the rucksacks, I think they re not elegant, but then neither am I, so I m no judge

Sleep... I know it s against your philisophies but I think a slug of locozade sport is called for !

Ok off to dance and football, date with dh tonight :)

Sleepwhenidie · 18/01/2014 09:44

Ah I'm ok now I'm up Turq Smile no hangover, just weary after rubbish nights sleep-4am waking thing from sugar rush, too much prosecco!

That's great Queen well done! I agree on the pudding too, life is too short not to enjoy the 'bad' food you love now and again Grin 80:20 rule!

Annianni · 18/01/2014 09:47

I'm a uk 6 in uggs, nike and Ash
A uk 7 in Marant and All Saints.

And a us 9 in gigis and Sam Edelman ballet flats.

Shattered this morning, really disturbed night with Ds2 and that was after doing 30 miles on my bike.

Luckily I'm getting my hair colour done at 11, so i'll get a bit of peace and quiet.

AmberNectarine · 18/01/2014 09:50

30 miles Anni - flipping heck!

Annianni · 18/01/2014 09:53

Annianni · 18/01/2014 09:55

Argh...

I've done 120 miles over this week! :o
My leg muscles are going insane.

How far is it to London from here?

shopafrolic · 18/01/2014 09:57

Turquoise thanks for the tips - perhaps I'll try us getting out before all the others and see what happens.
Novice J Brand brown skinnies (not loving coloured jeans anymore though so they may have to go), Hush layering long sleeved cream top and Reiss Mitts knit with a pair of old brown biker boots and my new parka (which I love). The coat is the only bit that doesn't feel a bit dated Hmm but it'll do for today.
MORNING AMBER Grin
Foxy and Because wow! That is a small world (and a little scary but in a good way!). One of the dresses I ordered is poly but it was the cheapest one so I thought I should at least take a look....
DH has gone but has text me to say that he grabbed me my Lancome serums in Duty Free - has anyone tried DreamTone?
Love the Wang rucksack QueenC but not sure I can pull that trend off...

shopafrolic · 18/01/2014 10:00

PMSL Anni - come to the MU! We won't judge the cycling gear :)

Sleepwhenidie · 18/01/2014 10:05

...much Grin

Drywhiteplease · 18/01/2014 10:25

Anni 62miles to my house....let me know when you're setting off and I'll put the kettle on Grin
