Morning Voguettes! It's been a busy few days chez Novice. Birthday celebrations for dd, which she loved! Our hallway and kitchen is decorated with Peppa Pig bunting and balloons and she was inundated with presents, visit from family and skype calls which was fab. Dsis also had her operation, which was a day of high stress but she's okay and now recovering.

The house is inching closer to being normal. I was sorting out the dressing room last night. All clothes are grouped together and sorted out, bags grouped together nicely, shoes and jewelry stored etc. I have definitely lost a Gucci watch.Angry I did rediscover diamond earrings that mil bought me about 3 years ago that I haven't worn yet, and found a Prada evening bag again.Smile I fear I may need another declutter as the dressing room is stuffed. Either that or turf dh's stuff out into a spare room!Wink

Drywhiteplease · 30/01/2014 07:42

I'll come and help Novice!

Hope you find the watch, Novice. Hope your sister recovers well.

That was so nice of you, Linus. The perfect bag for Grumpy!

Great work skirts, Liberty. I try to give DD2 (2) a choice too with clothes (or just let her wear whatever she wants, she often walks DD1 to school dressed as a fairy. I do time outs for her too, she hates it but she calms down and then you can reason with her.

I have been decluttering and ebaying all week. Having the colours done has really helped.

I am very jealous of your wardrobe, maradesbois! And your trip to Bali, Because especially in this weather. I have never seen so many Aigles and Hunters in one place as yesterday afternoon on the school run (including me!).

Hope you get your money refund from Atterley Road soon, Justa, I have been waiting 20 days so far. I don't want to hear about their warehouse being backed up anymore, I want my £90 back.

Three things to take:
DKNY velvet blazer
DVF wrap dress
Skinny jeans!
Loads more, it would be hard to limit it to three.

I get rid of anything I am not sure about, it was more the colours that I needed to verify, but don't like anything shapeless or too hippy dippy, really high heels (tall anyway).

I love that bag, Dry, I have it in red. I am on the waiting list for it in navy. I want a navy bag for day (max £800 and no benches need apply). My-W CS checked out the Burberry bag for me and said I would need to be really careful with it with dark denim etc and I love Balenciaga but have read that the colour fades, it did on my friend's bag.

Annianni · 30/01/2014 08:02

Hope your dsis is ok Novice Thanks

That bag is gorgeous Dry, i've always fancied one of those.

I've ordered a smaller pair of the Aidens to try.
I briefly tried them again yesterday and I think I do love them. Just a bit worried about me losing more weight, or them giving a bit with wear.
I can't afford to spend that much and them end up too big.

Santa do yours loosen up through the day?

I have lots of jeans that are just a bit too small though Blush
So I won't keep the smaller pair if they're not perfect.

I do need some fabulous heels to wear with them though... Wonder what I could ebay today?

Annianni · 30/01/2014 08:03

Decam... A navy satchel Envy

BecauseIsaidS0 · 30/01/2014 08:08

Morning! glad to hear DSis' surgery went well, novice.

mara, I can't find your pins!

I've got to figure what to wear to work today, but you know when you are absolutely tired of all your working clothes? That's where I'm at today. Must be because I don't have a fab Birkin to accesorize them with GrinGrinGrin

Annianni · 30/01/2014 08:55

I've bought shoes Blush
I have no willpower.
They're on pin, you know where... Opinions please...

BecauseIsaidS0 · 30/01/2014 09:00

Anni the whistles ones? How high is the heel?

I'm wondering whether this Hermes resellers are legit. You ladies have reawakened my Birkin obsession! (I must not, I must not, I must not spend that kind of money on a bag)

Annianni · 30/01/2014 09:21

I think they're about 3 inch high Because.
I saw them irl at Selfridges a while ago and they were a good couple of inches lower than the French 75 ones... Which I love but would fall over in :o

BecauseIsaidS0 · 30/01/2014 09:24

I'm an all or nothing girl when it comes to shoes...flats or 3.5 inches. Unfortunately I can't do 4 inches because my feet are too damn small! Grin.

3 inches, however, is very very wearable.

maradesbois · 30/01/2014 09:29

Morning because just rushing out now but will tell the story of how I got my Birkin tonight.

shopafrolic · 30/01/2014 09:38

Morning all. Does anyone know where these boots are from please?

shopafrolic · 30/01/2014 09:42

Ignore me - Jeffrey Campbell duh! Runs off to find UK stockist.

Stokey · 30/01/2014 09:43

Morning all - have missed so much - loving the Cara satchel and the totes.
Cos is always more of a challenge for me, I have quite a small build so often look like I'm wearing a sack in their clothes.
I think prefer & other Stories, though tried wearing some shoes i bought in their sale yesterday and nearly broke ankle. Think they are a bit too big and very heavy, was staggering round the office like my 4 yr old in my shoes.

I've been to Sketch a couple of times, and the loos are the highlight. Last time there seemed to be quite a lot of young chicks with older guys which made me slightly uncomfortable, I was there with colleagues.
I would say a dress, you'll probably see a lot of bling there Marsha, that kind of crowd.

And have also climbed the Bali volcano because many moons ago when i was travelling. Remember getting up at 3.30 in the morning to do it and not being able to see anything more than an arm's length away when we got to the top because of the fog, very anti-climatic.

I would have just been wearing birkenstocks, probably acccessorised with Thai fisherman's trousers, as that was all my travelling wardrob consisted of.

Stokey · 30/01/2014 09:45

oh and on the year of the horse theme, saw this yesterday Grumpy

shopafrolic · 30/01/2014 11:54

Your head must be on it's way to Oz already Marsha judging by all the yellow pics appearing on your Great Shots Pin board? :) Happy colour. Love it.

MarshaBrady · 30/01/2014 12:07

Yes Shop a little bit! Grin I think they all come from Mig. Very pretty colourless.

MarshaBrady · 30/01/2014 12:08

Argh colours! Definitely not colourless.

Umlauf · 30/01/2014 12:13

The Anya satchel is really nice, I'm not so much of a bag person but could be for that!

The leather shorts have arrived from AR (amazing free next day delivery to Spain!!) BUT the zip is broken. And being leather it will probably cost a bomb to repair. So I've emailed them and we shall see what they say. Also have no idea how to style them so not sure whether to keep them, as I'm bottom heavy I don't tend to wear things that draw attention to my bum! Pic on pin and I'd love your opinions as they are far out of my comfort zone!

Umlauf · 30/01/2014 12:20

Ps. That's lovely about your bag grumpy and linus

MrsR sent me a beautiful blouse and jacket a while ago because they were my colours, so lovely!

Makes me feel warm inside Smile Flowers

Annianni · 30/01/2014 12:40

I'm at a rather large shopping centre... Just seen the m&s Marant Jenny copies.
They're ok, a bit sensible looking though.
Nowhere near as nice as the real ones, and not as wide either.

Will look for the fake pettys and dickers after lunch.

Annianni · 30/01/2014 12:41

I've bought a bag. Date night is costing me money!
