Queenc, what about this pink bag?
It doesn't look as bright on the Jaeger site, but looks lovely on the blog.
I really want one... need a code... and some money

santamarianovella · 18/02/2014 12:45

Flowers anni, can't wait too try them!

dry I love the willow bag,not the price though,but the look very nice IRL,
Who else is watching ogling hunky Nordic men sotchi? I've developed a sudden interest in ice hockey Grin,

BecauseIsaidS0 · 18/02/2014 15:04

Mig, I un-gooped myself a while ago because the vapidness of it all became too much. Gossip tidbit: GP used to go to my (and foxy's) yoga studio.

Annianni · 18/02/2014 15:44

Pin opinions again please...

I love goop

OneLittleLady · 18/02/2014 18:37

trying a little experiment this evening. Silly as it sounds, I'm practicing wearing low heels again to see if I can tolerate them now my legs bad. Just wearing them for ten minutes tonight and am going to build up slowly for longer periods to see how much I can manage. It may fail but it's worth a shot before I get rid of all my heels Smile

LinusDKD · 18/02/2014 19:01

Just watching The Graham Norton Show. I love Matt Damon. That's all.

Mignonette · 18/02/2014 19:24

Because

You have GOT to spill about GP!

Is she how she comes across?

LinusDKD · 18/02/2014 19:35

Imagine wearing these with tanned feet and legs.

Not me unfortunately as my legs stay as milky white as the day I was born.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 18/02/2014 19:56

Evening all

Linus those are gorgeous! I too am milky white :(

Got my bargain AR jumpsuit today - it feels wrong to be trying clothes for holiday but at £10 I think I'll be keeping it, it needs a good iron atm but it fits well and I can imagine it with flat sandals and gold jewellery.

Anni The Frugality has that bag too as well as WIT, it's lovely.

I need some help if anyone can! Thinking of buying a DVF Bentley dress but not sure what size to get. I have a US4 in the Zarita but I think that would be too small in the Bentley and also it comes in S/M/L. novice I imagine you're busy (or asleep!) and I know you're petite but what size is yours and how do you find it? Thanks :)

AmberNectarine · 18/02/2014 20:52

I've got a Bentley in M and it's too big truth be told. Are you about the same size as me blair? If so you will need a S.

Drywhiteplease · 18/02/2014 20:57

One more sleep Grin!

LinusDKD · 18/02/2014 21:01

Soooo excited dry!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 18/02/2014 21:05

Thanks Amber - I think I'm a bit bigger than you, am a large 10. (Waist 28in, bum at largest point 37in!) According to the measurements I need an M. But just finding it hard to believe the sizing can be so different to my other dress, and it's stretchy too.
Which colour have you got? :)

Dry yay! Are you going to go to bed early so it comes sooner? Wink

OneLittleLady · 18/02/2014 21:39

I love the look of the DVF Bentley dress Blair sadly outside of my budget at the minute though. One day maybe, one day Smile

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 18/02/2014 23:56

I was only looking at that bag a couple of days ago Anni, since then I've seen it on Frugality, In Style mag and your Pin! It's gorgioso.

Linus those sandals are indeed swoonsome and lush.

Took DD2 to Warner Bros (Harry Potter) studios today and it was fab - absolutely great day and thoroughly recommended for Potter fans. Lots of understated tourist-types there too, some great insouciant Euro-chic looks to admire. And why do little Euro boys look so cool? All thick, tously hair and cool threads. When I got home Kate Spade bag had arrived from Saks and.....no duty! What's more, they refunded my shipping so big up Saks. Bag is gorgeous too, so v happy.

Nearly Gucci Wednesday...

BrandyAlexander · 19/02/2014 00:22

Hi Blair, my Bentley dress is a size S. In hindsight I should have got the xs as it's loose around the shoulders. I reckon an S must be an 8. I would describe myself as a large 6. I have bony shoulders hence the dress did slip off the shoulders a bit. Normally that would make me grumpy but dh liked it.Wink If you're a large 10 then the M will be right. Don't discount the fact that you could be an S as the Bentley is stretchy, order both if you get it from matches then send one back.

It's Wednesday here so it's Gucci bag day already DryGrin

santamarianovella · 19/02/2014 08:11

Happy gucci Wednesday everyone! Grin,
I will be out all day,taking the dcs to a near by sking resort,but I will be checking in every hour,don't be greedy with pic dry , hope you have lots of fun.x

linus I love those sandals,

LinusDKD · 19/02/2014 08:14

Morning!

Sitting at the car dealership waiting for my car to be fixed. After another night with little sleep, I might have broken off one of the wing mirrors whilst driving the DC to their checkup at the paediatrician. Blush

DH is not impressed...

I have a feeling the repair costs will mean no Gucci Wednesday for me in a while Sad

Enjoy buying your Disco today dry!

Mignonette · 19/02/2014 08:20

Burberrry Wednesday for me I'm afraid!

LOVE their latest bags- all slouchy and comfortable but they are £2400. I'd rather have a holiday.

Glad to see Grazia is full of Emerald Green, shame my sale Boden skirt is right colour, wrong shape. I ordered the longer length so hopefully on the knee just cuts it. I am still dithering about the star print cream chiffon blouse- it has that loose pouffy shape over the torso and seems a little old fashioned- outdated. Kind of the shape I'd have worn early 2000's. Maybe tucked in would work....

Drywhiteplease · 19/02/2014 08:22

It's Gucci day!!!!!Grin 50 days no spending....not such a big deal really and so worth it.

Decameron · 19/02/2014 08:28

Dry, enjoy Gucci Wednesday!

Mig, love the green skirt.

Turquoise, could you please also send me the link to the burgundy parka?

Shop, will post the bag to you today.

Mignonette · 19/02/2014 08:30

The superlative Hadley Freeman on why black models are still not in fashion.

Katie Grand
Russell Marsh
Katie England
Barbara Nicholi
Charlotte Stockdale

All of these casting directors have the clout to change minds but they do not. One must extrapolate from this that they have no particular desire to.

Don't even get me started on the very racist designers. Maybe we need to vote with our purses?

Rant over.

Decameron · 19/02/2014 08:32

I missed the Kate Spade bag, Grumpy, which one did you buy? I always get caught for customs but have friends coming in March and April so will be having a little Shopbop delivery go to them before they leave!

Forgot to say, that's a great parka, Liberty and good price.

BecauseIsaidS0 · 19/02/2014 08:32

Mig, will PM dirty gossip. Feel a bit guilty putting it out there publicly!

I am a firm believer in voting with my wallet. How to do this to demand more diversity, I'd have to give it a good thought.

BecauseIsaidS0 · 19/02/2014 08:33

Also, can Joan Smalls be any more beautiful???
