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

OMG (as my namesake might say)... thanks so much for the welcome :)

Here's my pin (changed the screen name to match)

shop I did find some lures and I'll try to pm... not sure if they'll be right though. I will report back on the dress when I get it, interesting that you found it tricky!

Thanks for the licks (i think)...!

Drywhiteplease · 14/01/2014 22:28

Blair we should all be honoured that you chose to do your first post on MNV ! Nice links, love the dress.....good god if you manage to get shop some replacement lures I think she'll be your BFF !

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 14/01/2014 22:31

I just gained 11 pinterest followers in 5 minutes Shock That's just about doubled my total!

shopafrolic · 14/01/2014 22:33

One of them was me Blair

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 14/01/2014 22:38

It won't let me see who all of them were separately but I've followed some people back, hopefully I will get you all eventually!

Drywhiteplease · 14/01/2014 22:43

Well DH is happy with me. I've knocked 5k off our extension quote looked like we would have to scrap the project Sad my wardrobes Shock by shopping around and getting an incredible quote for a huge amount of scaffolding ("are you MrsDry who taught my son?") yey!!!!Smile now I need to save another 5k and we're on....D Day with builder on Saturday. Fashion/scaffolding/project management oh my skills know no bounds Grin

libertychick · 14/01/2014 22:49

Well done Dry
Welcome Blair I am following you now on pin...
Just had a riveting evening with self assessment tax and working out 8 months worth of expenses (yawn)...
Back tomorrow with some fashion stuff (I hope)

Novice (((hugs))) the treatment process is a bitch - nothing is ever straightforward. Fingers crossed all goes well.

Nice one Dry - anyone around to look on MNV and advise
Linus hope you're doing okay tonight

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 14/01/2014 23:19

Sounds very exciting Dry!

thanks liberty

shop thanks for pm, sorry for ridiculous links, I wasn't sure if you could shorten them in a message.

Off to bed, thanks again for the welcome and back tomorrow :)

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 14/01/2014 23:26

Like your style Blair. I still have that pea coat (in the brighter blue) sitting in my bag at J Crew (along with some studded tartan slippers). Budget already well & truly blown already though for now.

Hope DSis gets some positive news Novice. The waiting bits are horrible, I know.

Amber your hair is beautiful. V Envy at anyone who can rock a look like that.

shopafrolic · 14/01/2014 23:36

Am going to bed to sleep on it.
Blair the distressed ones may be contenders. Thanks
I have a couple of parcels arriving tomorrow - Hush and AR. Once I see what i'm keeping I'll decide what to do. Night all.......

LinusDKD · 15/01/2014 07:41

Morning!

Brr -2 here this morning so no ballet flats for me! Grin

Welcome Blair! As you can tell, we like newbies!

The night was ok. DH is on his way from one cold place (-17 Shock ) to an even colder place (-25 )

Today will be spent shopping and preparing for DS's birthday party at the weekend. Oh joy!

Have a great day everyone!

Drywhiteplease · 15/01/2014 07:48

Right today, after work, I'm emptying my wardrobe, sorting and de cluttering. Shock It's pretty organized but there's a lot if stuff I don't wear and I'm feeling ruthless .Grin
I'm constantly obsessively looking at THE bag online to keep me focused .
Wish me luck, it could be upsetting, especially the evening dresses that I'll never wear again Sad.....

Morning! Dry, I keep my evening and cocktail dresses in their own section in the dressing room, convinced I will wear them one day Hmm

In case you haven't seen my Pin update, my home PA started on Monday. Just 2 days in has made a world of difference! So far she has worked with my other PA to book all our theatre tickets for the next 6 months, booked days out with the kids, sorted out dd's Peppa Pig birthday cake, arranged for decorators to come and see house to give us quotes, is liaising with the recruitment agencies re the HK role, has booked dinner out with dh for my upcoming birthday and by the end of today we will have our August holiday, a weekend at Centre Parcs and one at Peppa Pig world all booked. Even if I took 2 days off work, other things (like mumsnet!) would get in the way of achieving all that. Honestly, other than worries about dsis, I feel less stressed. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone of you who was so supportive and helpful to me last week.

Annianni · 15/01/2014 08:27

Argh!!! Wtf is wrong with my phone?!

Dry I've pinned a photo of your bag in action to inspire you Wink

Hugs for Novice and sis xxxx

Welcome Blair

I have just thrown my phone out of the window.
I hate typing on a tablet Sad

LinusDKD · 15/01/2014 09:21

novice you already sound less stressed! So happy for you!

shopafrolic · 15/01/2014 09:28

That is the best news I've heard in ages Novice - really pleased it worked out for you - she sounds amazing! Can I borrow her?
So glad I didn't hit buy last night and thanks all for your helpful comments on the jeans and the Equipment top.
I'm not going to get the top, and am investigating buying the Lures I really want (in Position) and getting them shipped to DH's hotel. Thanks Decam for the suggestion. Have you bought from the site you pinned from Decam? I am still quite tempted by the distressed ones that Blair found so may take a look at those too as it's free returns........
