MN Vogue - vol 34

[shopafrolic]

It's been a while since I set one up so thought I'd do the honours.
For glass half full fashion fanatics. Bring a positive attitude, a love of clothes and lots of lovely links. All welcome, from high street to high end.

Thank goodness its the last day of ht!
Dry lovely shoes will look great with disco! Not sure about the leopard print ones though,maybe they need to be tried..
Santa that sounds like just what I need atm! shall we run away together?
Queen we would like to go to Turkey. I am not a big fan of beach holidays but the easiest option with young kids. I would like to go to one of the all inclusive resorts. I had a quick look and it looks v expensive. I had in mind a budget of 3k for a week AI but does not look like it can be done .
My m&s floral shoes have been cancelled due to being out of stock.

Hello all,

Have just been catching up with the end of the old thread. shop so sorry your holiday didn't work out in that lovely cottage but hope you get something else sorted soon. A similar thing happened to us last summer, we were about to sign for a holiday house why they added on a euro 500 per week deposit! It sounded dodgy due to the amount involved and the fact wasn't mentioned in the ad so glad we went elsewhere and ended up having a lovely holiday, am sure it will be the same for you. Quality time together as a family away from home is something really important.

whattowear re Botox I confess that I do indulge but only for my no. 11 lines and only have it done by a doctor, not a beautician. Have promised myself will never let it go further than that, it doesn't look fake & i can still frown just not as much as before but think it would in forehead etc as you wouldn't be able to raise your eyebrows which for me would be too weird.

QueenC so agree with you re Grazia's obsession with Jennifer A non-stories. I stopped buying it a while ago for that very reason. Their fashion is still. good but think they have tipped the balance in favour of celebrity gossip which puts me off. Am travelling tomorrow so will check out Porter magazine if they have it at the airport.

Am having a bag dilemma, need to replace my lost <a class="break-all" href="http://uk.images.search.yahoo.com/images/view;_ylt=A0PDoSw.Ka9SOnoAlvRNBQx.;_ylu=X3oDMTI0NzA3MDRvBHNlYwNzcgRzbGsDaW1nBG9pZANkOTkxNDMyZTJjYzc1YTA1MjVlYzc5OGE5Yjc2NTIwOARncG9zAzIwNQRpdANiaW5n?back=uk.images.search.yahoo.com/search/images%3Fp%3Dsmythson%2Bclutch%26n%3D60%26ei%3Dutf-8%26y%3DSearch%26fr%3Dyfp-t-902-s%26spos%3D36%26nost%3D1%26tab%3Dorganic%26ri%3D205&w=400&h=329&imgurl=cdn7.snobessentials.com/sgmwp/wp-content/uploads/images2008/brownmaze.jpg&rurl=www.snobessentials.com/2008/08/smythson_maze_clutch.html&size=12.0KB&name=%3Cb%3ESmythson+%3C/b%3EMaze+%3Cb%3EClutch+%3C/b%3E%E2%80%A2+Snob+Essentials&p=smythson+clutch&oid=d991432e2cc75a0525ec798a9b765208&fr2=&fr=yfp-t-902-s&tt=%3Cb%3ESmythson+%3C/b%3EMaze+%3Cb%3EClutch+%3C/b%3E%E2%80%A2+Snob+Essentials&b=181&ni=160&no=205&ts=&tab=organic&sigr=11vs49k9b&sigb=149m8chek&sigi=1291fttlc&.crumb=ZBGLCncaGJh&fr=yfp-t-902-s" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">smythson clutch. The choice has been narrowed down to the marni I've been eyeing up for a while and this alexander wang which is an outnet bargain. Any thoughts? It needs to be black and quite minimalist. If they were same price would probably go for the Marni but the Wang is a bargain and have been wanting a celine pouch in a spring colour, perhaps yellow, so it would leave some budget. Decisions, decisions...

decam I am turning into a MNV sheep because have been thinking about NB's as well. They really are out of my comfort zone as I am not a sneaker/trainer girl apart from my trusty Superga.

I am a EU 37.5/38 so which size should I go for?

mara tough choice. I do like a bit of textured leather so the A.Wang has that going for it but I prefer the overall design of the Marni. Not much help sorry.

Any of these dry?
m&s

not leopard print but nice
larger leopard print
dune again

MaradeI'm afraid I love the marni clutch, it is a real beauty. Is there no discount code on the horizon?

How about this mara?

love this

lovely but quite thin.

great shape

classic

lovely texture

Dry
bit bling but I like em!
size 5 only

What about this one Mara maybe not as minimalist as the Marni though

Just watching The Great British Sewing Bee (I know, Rock and Roll!) and Claudia Winkleman's coat looks a lot like the one (Marni?) mig was lusting after last year.

I prefer the Marni, Mara, or the P Lim one Justasecond linked.

I think you need to go a half size up, Linus. I usually wear Ash or Superga but NB look more sturdy than Superga as it is still quite cold.

Decam I'm an EU40 and my NB 410 are a 7.5. I think going up a half size is good. I absolutely love them and I'm not really a trainer girl. Very versatile.

Thanks ... I am going to ordering them. DH has just emailed me to say he will be working tomorrow, wahhhh! I was planning to watch a DVD while he took them to the park tomorrow. Btw if you sign up to Zalando you get £10 discount code for shoes over £50.

I am going to order them

Ooh decam which ones are you thinking about getting?

I pinned two but just noticed my favourites are sold out and they are men's sizes anyway.

I've ordered these ones, Linus.

So funny decam those are my second choice. Maybe you can post a RL piccie when you get them so I can see what the colours are really like? Pretty please!

Of course!

Thanks linus, just, and decam for your advice and suggestions. Also really like the Chloe and PS ones that linus linked but the Marni still has the edge. Am going to decide tomorrow, will let you know!

decam like the colour combination of your NB. I never wear trainers apart from gym ones or superga. For winter have been considering wedge ones, tried ASH but just don't think they're me. Will see for next year, am focused on spring and all things yellow now!

I thought they'd be good for the school run (we are always late so literally do run!!).
