santamarianovella · 26/02/2014 19:45

because you sound amazing,and I totally get what you say.

linus I'm a 34d in agent provactour! I couldn't believe it,but in the real world (ck) I'm a 34b or 32c Confused , and I can't fit in la perla bras, they seem to be loose on me.

shop that's wonderful,oh you deserve one!

grumpy beautiful dress.

dry I saw an interview with the GOT author George R.R Martin, he said he felt really bad after the red wedding,because he killed off most of the main cast and he was making people lose their jobs! But in all honesty Robb had it coming!
And I prefer disco too,

Nooooo santa you should have written SPOILER ALERT before typing that GoT stuff!

Drywhiteplease · 26/02/2014 19:55

Santa noooooooooo! But Linus remember the supernatural is at work too.....

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 26/02/2014 19:57

Bra sizing makes me go all Confused. I generally buy 34B, some are too big, some Victoria's Secret are breath-stealingly tight. My Sis (The M&S 'Rosie' lingerie buyer) thinks I'm a 36A.

I refute that.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 26/02/2014 20:03

Oh, while I think of it, can I pick your beauty brains?

I'm thinking of some subtle eyelash fillers - semi-permanent not to lengthen or look like big, fluttering spiders, but something to fill out my natural lashes which aren't as full as they used to be.

What's the verdict on them, generally?

Drywhiteplease · 26/02/2014 20:05

Ok you boxom ladies......Envy... I agree Grumpy I've been told I'm a 32B but a 32A is more realistic. Depends on the brand.M and S don't fit.....you could stick a pair of socks in my bras! I just have to try everything on. It's almost impossible to find smaller sizes Sad

santamarianovella · 26/02/2014 20:15

I have no idea linus I tried on so many bras at selfridges sale and ended up buying two sets from CK and two bargainous AP,the AP sales assistant told me I must be D cup! And surprise they fit!
Is there a princess tam tam nearby? They do some very decent ones,and they can measure you.

santamarianovella · 26/02/2014 20:24

dry are you talking about my boobs Grin they didn't have any supernatural work done to them, unless dh suddenly became very religious and started praying for a divine intervention for my tiny boobs

I want to have another fitting as I find the sizing is a bit snug for me! Its driving me mad!

BecauseIsaidS0 · 26/02/2014 20:33

Sorry ladies, I really didn't mean to get so defensive. I've just had a bad day at work with some very junior guy trying to undermine me behind my back and I guess it did get to my although I try to be thick skinned.

Back to fashion - I love JL bras, they are very comfortable, but mostly I buy from Bravissimo and sometimes splurge on AP. And then throw them in the washing machine and feel guilty!

LinusDKD · 26/02/2014 20:42

Love Princesse TamTam santa but no shop nearby.

I think they might sell it at a department store in town so I might go and have a look.

I did look at their website and their sizing instructions and they have confused me even more.

Any hope I had of the JL ones fitting has completely evaporated...

Bonsoir · 26/02/2014 20:46

I have given up almost all brands of underwear except Princesse Tam Tam - I don't even have to try their bras on anymore as they have about 7 or 8 basic models and everything is a variation on the same shape and they fit me beautifully. It's the best value for money underwear out there, IMO.

LinusDKD · 26/02/2014 20:53

I used to wear lots of Marie Jo (Belgian brand) in my late teens and twenties and they were fabulous as well.

Not the cheapest (DM paid Wink ) but great quality. And they did fit me and were super comfortable. And I was always a B cup in them. Hmm

Hello everyone. I didn't post yesterday as I was feeling down due to PMT. Sorry to read about people's family issues and selfish relatives; Flowers and hugs for all.

Ok so sad news I have not appeared on the blog that promised me I would. phew It's here - they have only put up 4 pics, none of which are me!

And good news! My work lottery syndicate won £2500 yesterday. There are 11 of us so it's a nice chunk towards a bag for me, not to be sniffed at Grin And I sold the chinti and parker stripe dress to lovely work friend whose style I clearly know better than my own. She also asked me if my M&S shirt was Burberry so I

Drywhiteplease · 26/02/2014 20:56

Because tough days are allowed on here, it's "fashion and much more".....hope you have a better day tomorrow.Smile

libertychick · 26/02/2014 21:06

Grumpy when I clicked on that dress I had a sudden vision of you in it with the horse Longchamp bag and the pendant Grin - great dress, probably needs more toned down accessories that what I have suggested.

Sorry to hear all the family stuff and hope everyone is feeling ok Flowers all around.

Feeling a bit down here, work really hard slog ATM and don't feel I am doing very well. Very tired too - will hopefully have some perspective after holidays. Need a new role I think.

Shop I love that sweater - very you. Great news about the holiday.

Annianni · 26/02/2014 21:09

Grumpy how the hell are you a 36, when you're a 6/8?!
get the tape measure out woman

I'm a 36 and several dress sizes bigger than you.

I wouldn't get those lash things put on, i've read too many horror stories about people ending up losing most of their own lashes when they come off.

I second the rapid lash stuff, I'd love to try it.

Annianni · 26/02/2014 21:10

Thanks for calming me down Thanks
I love you all! xx

QueenCadbury · 26/02/2014 21:16

Flowers to everyone feeling down.

grumpy I didn't even realise that eyelash fillers existed so can't advise. Have you ever tried false ones? I love them for nights out. Do you have pale lashes. You could consider having them dyed as that may make them look fuller?
