Oh I would like a Celine Tuesday! Still lusting after that cobalt hobo bag.

LinusDKD · 12/02/2014 20:19

Oh and marsha this was the dress I pinned for you:

orange dress

Fedupnagging · 12/02/2014 20:27

Linus, those are real Saturday Night Fever jeans! I would look ridiculous in them needless to say. Like the blue top the model is wearing though in the smaller picture. Would look good with white skinnies.

Found this blog earlier; really like her style-she has some fab bags and boots.

shopafrolic · 12/02/2014 20:31

OMG linus that's just bonkers
Dry love the Disco weds! thanks for the hair compliment.
My ironing basket is empty, even the napkins! I am a domestic goddess after all.
What's everyone buying their other halves for Valentine's please? I need inspiring......

shopafrolic · 12/02/2014 20:33

That looks good fedup - have added to bloglovin feed. Thanks

LinusDKD · 12/02/2014 20:35

fedup she has the cobalt mini Pashli I was lusting after last year and which was sold out everywhere !

shop when DH and I met more than 11 years ago I told him I hated Valentine's day and he agreed so we have never celebrated it.

Drywhiteplease · 12/02/2014 20:43

Me Shop Wink

MarshaBrady · 12/02/2014 20:43

Oh I love that Linus. The shape and colour is fab.

Anyone do Instagram and fancy following each other?

Fedupnagging · 12/02/2014 20:45

That's a shame Linus. I did notice that she sells some of her stuff so keep your eye out.....

Shop, some years we celebrate valentines day and buy gifts others not. We have been together nearly 30yrs so it doesn't mean that much really. I do get very miffed if we don't celebrate our wedding anniversary though.

However, last year, I got dh some retro sweets packaged in red heart box. I got nothing! As dh is passing through duty free tomorrow evening, am hoping I'll get something rather nice.

shopafrolic · 12/02/2014 20:45

What time is it there marsha?
I was on Instagram. I might set up again.....

Fedupnagging · 12/02/2014 20:47

Instagram, Marsha- I have only just got the hang of facebook and PinterestGrin Can Skype at a push!

LinusDKD · 12/02/2014 20:50

fedup she seems obsessed with all things cobalt (and I don't blame her Grin ) so I doubt she'll ever sell that bag.

Sorry marsha not on Instagram.

dry better buy a big bow Wink

santamarianovella · 12/02/2014 21:02

marsha hope you are enjoying your holiday,I don't do Instagram,FB,very anti social media,just because i can't be bothered with doing any updates,

would love a celine Tuesday too,this time maybe
a clutch!
shop we don't celebrate Valentines day too,

linus those jeans are just halirious!

dry I've written down Wednesday as G day,so excited for you.

today dd is nappy free,finally! it took us 2months Blush!

MarshaBrady · 12/02/2014 21:02

Oh Shop go on. I realise I do need a place for random everyday pics as I don't really do fb. More the merrier!

Fed up I've decided to avoid twitter, no skype, just a small Fb thing but not really me and Instagram seems really easy so far. I quite like being choosy Grin

It's 8am just getting ready for beach. There's so many people (esp the cute niece variety) around it's easy to get distracted and chat at home.

Drywhiteplease · 12/02/2014 21:07

Shop is this your colour? I love it a lot, if I were spending on knitwear,v tempting.

shopafrolic · 12/02/2014 21:16

Too blue toned for me dry. I'm supposed to do warmer deep colours. Orangey reds etc. like this
I get confused with oxblood, burgundy etc.

BrandyAlexander · 12/02/2014 21:17

Linus, I am finally going to use the Pashli next week as am travelling. Will report back.

Shop, dh normally makes a huge fuss of me on V-day (for reason I told you the other dayWink) and I haven't really bothered since the dcs. However as I did a 3am to 5am stint with ds last nightHmm I did a moonpig card for him and this year I have got him a present. I am a bit chuffed. It is super geeky and techy. Right up his street!

Drywhiteplease · 12/02/2014 21:30

Linus a tiny bow Wink

Annianni · 12/02/2014 21:32

Love that jumper Dry.
That's my sort of colour.

We're just doing cards this Valentines.
Last year dh bought me the MJ bag that I've since ebayed :o

I want to make him a food thing I've seen on pin.

It's our wedding anniversary in 2 weeks, so I'd rather do something for that.

Annianni · 12/02/2014 21:38

Has anyone heard from Foxy?
She's been away for ages!

Drywhiteplease · 12/02/2014 21:42

Yes Anni I've been wondering that too, she can't be still out there? I think that jumper is similar colour to your cocoon coat isn't it?

libertychick · 12/02/2014 21:52

I could be wrong but I thought Foxy was spending 6-8 weeks in India.

We don't do VD either here - as it's a Friday we'll probably share the usual bottle of vino.

My DSis does Instagram Marsha mostly lots of teenage moody selfies and sunsets!It does appeal to me but I'd have to buy a new phone first - maybe in the summer.

Hello all,

I agree with mig regarding admiring Hadley Freeman's fashion journalism. Another writer I enjoy reading for similar reasons is Vanessa Friedman, fashion editor of the FT. She somehow manages to put a fashion spin on topics such as how politicians and business leaders dress without ever coming across as trivial.

Have just been reading the 'vulgar bling' thread with great interest. I don't agree that a large stone is automatically vulgar/ostentatious. My style in general is very classic and pared back, I do have a huge e ring but a single stone with very simple setting which to me is pared back elegance and not bling at all. Love novice's boodles sapphire too, their team is so creative, have my eye on a deep-blue tanzanite - a massive rock too! For me wearing large pieces of jewellery appeals in the same way as I like to wear a mans watch, not to show off but because the scale better suits my frame and style than more delicate 'ladies' versions.

Can I also ask about access to your mnv pin or is it private? Completely understand if so.

Decameron · 12/02/2014 22:03

I think Foxy is still away.

V Day is my birthday so I just got DH chocolate and I will be making it a Gucci Friday (or Saturday if he works Friday).

I ordered a pale pink Chan Luu scarf from socharming.co.uk, can't link on my phone but 25% off until tomorrow with the code LOVE25.

Umlauf, very exciting about Thailand.

It's miserable here, Marsha, enjoy!

MarshaBrady · 12/02/2014 22:12

Ha Liberty I just joined to put up the beach pics Grin. But really my spiritual online home is here.

How do you do pics here, see if I can.

For those not in pin, apols for stereo! Will stop now Grin
