OMG Umlauf that is one of the loveliest wedding dresses -ever and a little bit Spanish in feel.

Beautiful bride!

BecauseIsaidS0 · 27/02/2014 09:53

Oh that wedding dress is exquisite!

MarshaBrady · 27/02/2014 09:58

Hair it is, thanks! Would much rather relax with Vogue than trounce around a bright store.

Beautiful dress.

MarshaBrady · 27/02/2014 09:59

Umlauf just realised that is you. Stunning!

shopafrolic · 27/02/2014 10:04

Thank you! Yes there are no pics of it online as it was just a sample. I was surprised to find myself hating wedding dress shopping and never really loved it, this was the one I wanted (Amanda wakeley) but it was double my budget and I didn't want to get into debt for a dress.

Ah, now you've made me nostalgic...

Although my waist was about twice the model's.

Umlauf · 27/02/2014 10:32

Oh because that's beautiful, I love the fishtail and the sleeves!

LinusDKD · 27/02/2014 11:04

Your wedding dress is stunning umlauf and yours as well because.

Your hair will probably be cut by this time but I would go with the haircut as well marsha

shop I think the NB's you linked will go better with your colour palette but I like the dash of yellow on the ones I linked.

I am waiting for decam to report back on hers before taking the plunge myself as I am still not convinced I won't look like an arse in them.

Umlauf · 27/02/2014 11:07

Currently in love with this I'd wear it with my navy Gigi's and a gold bangle!

MarshaBrady · 27/02/2014 12:06

Done. Ha Shop exactly what I did Grin

Because gorgeous dress.

Umlauf that is very pretty.

I was going to meet dh for lunch, and an excuse to show shiny swishy hair Wink, but took too long to reply to text so going home instead. JL will have to wait.

Stunning dress Umlauf and Because I love wedding dresses but I'm not fussed about getting married!

Hi everyone.

Happy anniversary, Anni!

Umlauf and Because, beautiful wedding dresses.

Blair, that's a nice amount from the lottery, happy spending!

Shop, I have a missed delivery from the post office, I think it is the perfume, thank you! Thanks I'll collect it tomorrow.

Sorry about the family issues to those that have them.

Mig, amazing cake, your daughter is so talented.

Linus, I got the NBs yesterday, I'll post a photo later. I have the fun of Sainsburys now. They are not clumpy looking at all (though I got the 7.5) and more navy and coral than navy and pink. Really pleased with them.

Yes, Santa, I ordered the Equipment shirt I wanted and this James Perse top. Should be delivered today but no doubt when I go to collect DD1!

shopafrolic · 27/02/2014 14:44

Waves to Decam - glad the NB are good. I am still having a nightmare with them.
Latest response to a shitty email from me...
On 2/5/2014 you ordered 3 pairs of shoes U410MNGG, (UK:7.5)-D, U410MNGG, (UK:7)-D, U410MNGG, (UK:8)-D. Can you please let me know which pairs you returned then I can refund your original form of payment.

Unbelievable that I have to tell them now what I sent back despite them saying that they have received the shoes. Keep your fingers crossed that I see my cash in February...........

And I'm sorry Blair I meant to say yesterday, what a fab windfall. Would love to know what you treat yourself to.

Hello all

What gorgeous wedding dresses Umlauf and Because, am nostalgic too. I nearly went for a very pretty lace one but in the end decided it wasn't quite me and went for an Indian style top and skirt. Slightly regret not getting the chance to drape myself in lace though but glad I showed my stomach before the ravages of two children!

Marsha keep meaning to recommend my coffee machine - it is Krups and fantastic. Italian BIL bought it for us for a wedding present and it takes those pod things so no mess.

and Dry I think season 3 of the TV series ends about halfway through book 3, so if you're going to read it, start at book 3. But be warned, book 4 & 5 lose track a bit.

Drywhiteplease · 27/02/2014 15:39

Shop exciting! I'm off to have a nosey at your holiday.......
Blair congrats! I've never met anyone who's won more than £10 on the lottery, v exciting!
Love the wedding dresses.....I think I tried on every single wedding dress available in 1997 slight bridezilla

So......having lunch with a friend. Lady on next table gets her new dress out of bag to show her friend. Obv I stop talking,ears prick up, check out dress and told her how lovely it was see, subtle as ever gate crash their convo, find out it's from Joules no link because not on T'Internet yet. Think it would look lovely with my orange Gigis thanks again Anni . As soon as lunch over, drive to Joules, try on dress.............sadly horrible on, try on 2 more equally ageing leave with headache from floral/stripe overload and too many padded gilets Grin TWEE.

But I popped into Jigsaw where they were serving prosecco and chocolates, happy day and tried

Drywhiteplease · 27/02/2014 15:42

this had potential but horrid
this eek
And a silk sack, not online yet, disappointing.
Nul points to jigsaw.

Secret missed your parcel Sad

Mignonette · 27/02/2014 16:06

Happy anniversary Anni my lovely Wine and Flowers.

Because that is lovely too- the sash accent shade is perfect.

Two lovely MNV brides!

BecauseIsaidS0 · 27/02/2014 16:09

Stokey indian wedding dresses make me swoon! So, so beautiful. I have three sarees that I haven't worn since I was in India in 2005. I love them.

I must have been the simplest bride ever: saw the dress on the internet, found the shop that stocked it, went andbought it. The lovely lady at the shop made me try four others, but my mind was made up.

Stokey · 27/02/2014 16:33

Anti-Bridezilla Because , brilliant.

I was trying to get a mix between my asian-irish parents so went for white as a nod to the Irish side & Indian style for the other side. Was very sparkly dress but you can't really see it in the photos.

Brora warehoues clearance sale if anyone is interested for next two days. Everything still pretty pricey tbh but treated myself to a scarf

justasecond · 27/02/2014 17:43

Hi all
I wrote a long post last night then lost it. Can't remember what I said now but hope all those with family issues are ok.
Not much going on fashion wise. Bit sick of all my winter clothes, keep wearing the same things over and over. I feel as if I can't wear a lot of the spring things I have due to socks. Stuff looks so much better with a nice slipper flat or loafers but I can't take my socks off just yet Grin.
I bought this from Asos, I really like it but the orange is very neon, which I don't usually dislike but its a reddish orange rather than coral. great for the price though and a nice alternative to cardigans
asos jacket
Love the wedding dresses Umlauf and Because
Will catch up and be back.

shopafrolic · 27/02/2014 17:44

Happy anniversary Anni (thought that was yesterday with the boots?) Confused
What parcel Dry
Two years ago I tried on a dress in Joules (which looked okay online) - awful on. Never been back. So not me (and I didn't think you either?). Did you see the shoes I linked for you?
