santamarianovella · 11/02/2014 19:44

umlauf wow! When will it be?is it mainland or island? Will all help with your packing,you can tell I'm excited! Grin

linus i really like the Chloe dress, dh might agree to it if I get a lot of wear from it,but I just know that he will say that it looks like a chess table and kills it for me Sad

dry you know we would want updates when you finally buy the Gucci .Smile

Drywhiteplease · 11/02/2014 19:49

Santa do you think I'll be quiet about it?Grin like my lovely friend Shop I get super excited about stuff should grow up, but actually glad I don't take things for granted will send you live updates, believe me you will be with me when I buy!!!!

Bloody hell....DH has just told me he's taking me out for a meal on Thursday! Wonder what he's up to Hmm not Bali Umlauf don't worry I won't be gate crashing

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 11/02/2014 20:21

Lol dry, excited is good. We'll need a Disco countdown soon!

Tried on all the Peter Pilotto stuff and am very happy, it all fits perfectly and is nice quality. Roll on the good weather now!

fedup I was reminded at the weekend why I never ever go shopping with my DP. He just doesn't get it! He told me the Givenchy Pandora (here) looked like a cool bag (as in picnic bag). Why do I always look at bags that look like kitchen goods! (remembering the celine washing machine) Wink

shopafrolic · 11/02/2014 20:25

What a day! After 3 hours with a fake lawn (read AstroTurf) guy there is nothing I don't know about laying lawn like you lay carpet! Then 2 hours on live chat with Sky, oh it's all glam here. Oh and my washing machine broke down! No repair till Friday!
dry not long till DISCO - how exciting! Licks lips in anticipation.
Sleep I'm so sorry about today - I'm crafting you an email as we speak with eating updates.

libertychick · 11/02/2014 20:53

Still rocking curls Shop. I have located a hairdresser who cuts 'curly girl' style ie cuts it dry and I am booked in for next week. She cuts each curl individually and says it will take her about 2 hours but once done apparently it will grow in the right shape to maximise the curls. I'm excited and nervous - if it looks hideous afterwards I'll be calling Tony!

Good news on the Peter Pilotto stuff Blair. I was tempted to order some but I think the prints are too graphic and 'big' for me - I need smaller neater prints.

Thailland sounds great Umlauf. Like Linus I love Thai food.

Great dress Santa but yikes at the price Smile

Santa

That is exquisite.

Because love the holiday dress.

Blair

Great choice. I'd look for a faded red with some orange-y tones and go mad with the brights. That look is in this Summer anyway. Silver sandals would look great with a winter white or white top. Go Boat neck off the shoulder with some detail or ribbing to the welt and neck to add interest. Then you can go silver with a shoe or a bright shoe. You could wear the red top with a silver shoe too but a matte silver in that case. Look out for slouch sweatshirt shapes which nonetheless have some tapering in the waist to give you a proper shape.

I'd wear a really crisp shirt with it too - white, tied at the waist or tucked in, big hoops on ears of an ear cuff, a red lip and flat pointed slingbacks - real Roman Holiday crossed with Dolce insouciance. Hair either really wild or sleeked back minimal ponytail/chic bob.

Also - and this may be controversial. I'd look for a camel coloured top or a deep rich chocolate brown. Something light and maybe silk for the chocolate and a textured light knit in camel for Spring.

Umlauf WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW!

All those lovely silks on the markets and the food and the flowers. How lovely of your husband.

Fedupnagging · 11/02/2014 21:20

Dry wasn't me who made the fb invite! Don't want to out myself either. I did however, send you a lovely photo.

Blair 'cool bag' Grin.

No washing machine 'til Friday shop, what a pain. Hope it gets fixed.

BrandyAlexander · 11/02/2014 21:24

Evening all!

Drywhiteplease · 11/02/2014 21:33

Grin Grin Fedup absolutely fantastic Wink

P.s where did MNV FB page come from......odd Hmm

Mignonette · 11/02/2014 21:35

A MNV FB page? Where?

libertychick · 11/02/2014 21:38

A facebook MNV page??? No idea who did that Confused

OP posts:
Drywhiteplease · 11/02/2014 21:38

It just popped up when I tried to open fedup's link earlier....has disappeared now. V odd indeed.

shopafrolic · 11/02/2014 21:44

There isn't a MNV FB page.
I've whacked a whole load of bits on MNV Pin for some of you. Just been browsing The Outnet (ignoring the bloody ad panels) and thought of some of you.....

Drywhiteplease · 11/02/2014 21:47

Was I dreaming then? Hmm I've searched FB and nothing, but I defo saw it.....

Drywhiteplease · 11/02/2014 21:47

Anyway glad it doesn't exist

shopafrolic · 11/02/2014 21:50

But now everyone is going on about it some random will set one up. I'm happy hear. No need to spread to FB - I like the anonymity. If you all knew who I was IRL I'd have to kill you......

shopafrolic · 11/02/2014 21:50

here

shopafrolic · 11/02/2014 21:51

OOOO I'm getting quite a good hit rate with my links! Glad so many of you like. I would have shared on here but thought I should keep them hidden in case you actually bought......

Mignonette · 11/02/2014 21:53

Nope no FB MNV for me. Too many initials for a start Smile.

Loving the links.

Am off to bed now my lovelies. Am shattered and have worn away my fingerprints with typing it would seem.

Night night

Fedupnagging · 11/02/2014 22:01

Very strange Dry.

Rather like these and wondering what the sizing is like? Are they very narrow (have fat wide feet).

Have made a few sales on eBay which is now burning a hole in my pocket!

shopafrolic · 11/02/2014 22:07

Fedup I have these ones and my feet are quite long and slim I think. I can happily get a tape measure and measure the width of the sole if you like (tomorrow as they are in DS' room).
You can usually get them cheaper than that I think. Anni is usually the woman who is fab at finding cheap Gigis - what do you reckon Anni?

Fedupnagging · 11/02/2014 22:16

That's great thanks Shop. I always think feet hanging over the edge of shoes/sandals looks awful so don't wish to fall victim myself.

shopafrolic · 11/02/2014 22:20

Remind me tomorrow - I will forget overnight! Blush
