MN Vogue Vol 32

[Drywhiteplease]

For all glass half full fashion fanatics. For frivolous fashion talk, fabulous links and lots of friendly chat. Come on over and tempt us.

Blair I think the pulled pork needs roasting in an oven. There is a fire pit thingy inside the summer house with a proper chimney obv so you can BBQ on it ( also came with lots of pots but I have yet to do a casserole on it) a local but butcher does a fantastic butterflied shoulder of lamb which, 15 mins each side, is divine.....I'll be doing that with some other bits.

Ok now drooling again but over your food not shoes!

I should not be left alone on a fri eve have done one last shopping order for Jan before next month starts- ordered 6 different navy tops as I 'need' one for a lunch next week. Links on way, only one can be kept.

this silk shirt

And it won't link to the rest as they're all sale items but they were phase eight tallie top in navy, Armani navy jersey top and an odd brand hallhuber silk top with jersey sleeves.
A variety of sizes ordered. I'm like a dieter who has one last binge before starting a big diet

Carrie, I had an Anna bag which was very good quality.

I like that shirt Ruby, I tried it on a few months ago, should have bought it!

Santa aren't those the Marant f* me sandals on Julianne Moore's feet , on Graham Norton?

Blair, yes ours are Everyman ones too, great aren't they!

No, they aren't actually, v nice Louboutins tho!

this is my latest favourite nail colour. Blue/grey/denimy colour. Very impressed with the shine.love the fat (like Dior) brush which means you can do a nail in 2 swipes. Really rate No7 stuff at the moment.

Blair food and fashion are my specialist subjects .....wish I knew a bit more about current affairs, European monetary system, world peace etc.......

Yes but those subjects aren't as interesting Dry and you can't eat them...!

That nail colour is v cool, I can never resist getting a No7 varnish for £2 when I have one of those Boots vouchers.

Sleep yes they are fab! Wine holder next to the sofa, I love it. If only you could take your own. I have seen the wolf of wall st (not in the cinema ) and it's really good but also really really really long.

Ruby that is dedication to the perfect navy top cause! Silk shirt is lovely and bargainous.

Major panic tonight, turning the flat upside down etc looking for my folder with my certificates in it to add my qualifications on to my UCAS form. Finally found it on my bookcase where all my music books are, the one and only place that hadn't been looked in before! Just a reference to go and then my application will be ready to send off! Got butterflies thinking about waiting for the verdict to come in and whether I get a place or not

I love that varnish Dry, and Ruby's silk shirt.

Good luck with the application One.

My smaller J Brands are still at Heathrow
Which means they won't be here till Tuesday
So I now need to try my Hudson Mays and Gias with the fabulous new shoes and re-think my outfit so stressful

I haven't been to the cinema for years. Think I need a nice one. Sounds fab.

Great shirt Ruby.

Morning all! Sunny start to the day isn't it? I slept in the house by myself with the dcs for the first time last night. I know many of you do it a lot but it always makes me so nervous. .

About to start Saturday morning mad rush. Think I will wear Hackwick cashmere jumper, gap skinnies and black uggs. My cleaner rediscovered a Links bracelet that dmil bought me for my birthday that I had lost forgotten all about so will wear that and accessorise around it. Till I started posting on here I hadn't realised how much dmil gets me and the fact that I forget about it all. I would be so if she found out as she is so lovely.

Today I wil be wearing lots of layers-no central heating until possibly Monday- and I won't care how I look.

This is rather lovely. Also like this but for that price, I would like real leather.

Well done Dry on your no spend January. Your dinner tonight is a great idea.

Shop sorry swimming is such a chore. I think others are right, your DS maybe needs a break and just go swimming for pleasure-can you go with friends and their dc's - safety in numbers and all that?

Oh no Fed up, poor you! Wishing you warmth!!!

Was inspired by Linus' navy equipment shirt. Was looking for a silk jersey ruched top and bitterly regretting returning the me+em cowl neck navy top which I returned because it was too big and now all sold out.
Day 1 of no spend February, I bet I suddenly see loads of things I think i must have.

Novice I hate it too, is better since we had the dog. Lovely day here too, snow up on the hills but none here, not enough to take the dc sledging yet though.
Fed up nothing worse than being cold, can you go to someone else's house for the weekend??

Morning all - toddler parties a go go this weekend. One of DS' friend's parties today and then his 2nd party tomorrow.
DH has gone shooting!

Anni!!! All that planning - rubbish! :(

Good Morning everybody - Rough nights sleep because during the gales last night our bedroom ceiling sprang a leak and I did have the old dripping water torture. No matter where we placed the container (with tea towel inside to stop the clang), the water tracked elsewhere and it was 'drip drip drip' all night long. It seems to be tracking along a beam. We need to get on the roof as a slate must have left the building.

My son (and last child) is moving out in March .

He is moving into the house I used to own w/ my ex (who still owns it) with is girlfriend and another couple.

So I will wait a few months to see how he settles then it is time to make some major decisions about where we will live for the next part of our lives. My detested ex-stepmother has recently decided (inexplicably) to move to my town with her next husband and this town ain't big enough for the both of us. I live in dread of the day that I bump into her on the street after what she has done and cannot go on like this.

So where to move?

My daughter has a patisserie stage in NYC then Switzerland this Summer during the break in her course and she plans to move away afterwards. She is coveting the Pastry Chef jobs currently available at Scotts in Mayfair although not experienced enough yet but had she been employed there and seen her beloved Nigella attacked she'd have lamped Saatchi with a cream puff .

I have made a fashion decision. The all white/cream look is not for me. I tried on a winter white skirt and sweater combination then a dress and I looked like and orderly in a 50's style American asylum. I always used to do the black tights with white skirt thing when younger and it looked edgy. Now I just look odd. I am going pastel and acid yellow this Spring with a dash of baby blue and smoke blue I think. Wearing tonal shades of the same colour appeals to me.

What colour combinations are you all looking to experiment with?

And lastly - just how beautiful is the BBC Breakfast female presenter today? I'm sorry I don't know her name but she is so pretty.

Would that be the Nurse Ratchett look Mig ?
Shop wishing you luck and wine for this weekend.
Fedup do you have hot water? No heating is bad. Poor you.
Anni is it date night tonight? No jeans? You MUST have another pair you could work (how many do you have ) hope you have a lovely evening....work those shoes girl!!
Novice I'm a scary cat too when DH is away....but now that DS is 6ft (size 13 feet.......wrong baby at the hospital I'm convinced) I feel a bit safer

Ok....the sun is shining ignores impending rain/snow forecast it's BBQ weather!
DH is using his turbo trainer.....gets up early and goes in the garage and watches shows n his iPad . I was making coffee when he walked into the kitchen wearing his slippers, socks, a disgusting t shirt and his swimming trunks . He said he didn't want to wake me .... Style guru he isn't , my GOD, thank goodness no neighbours were up! That is why he has a tailor for work and why he will NEVER come to the gym with me

Have a good day all

Yes very Ratchett Dry.

Am laughing at the look your DH is working. A snorkel would've finished it off nicely.

Mine is snoring in bed after coming home pissed as a newt. I actually shouted at him when he loomed over me beery breathed rambling some drunken protestation of love. That was after he'd knocked a photo frame off a wall, thrown my copy of Vogue off the bed (Heresy) and slammed the loo lid so hard it sounded like somebody had been shot.

I watched 'Wanderlust' with a friend last night. Such a funny funny film with Paul Rudd, Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston. Perfectly pitched comic performances with a lot on full frontal commune style nudity. Have never seen so many penises in a comedy film!

Welcome to my world Fedup... I've had no heating all winter :o

This is why I live in woolly socks and cashmere.
Without my old lady style gas fire and the electric blankets (every bed has one) I would have moved out lost the will to live!

Date night is Monday Dry.
I have 2 paired of jeans to choose from at the moment, the other... erm... 14 or so pairs are too small at the moment

Good luck this weekend Shop.

Photo please Dry :o
