Continuing from here

The camo sweat has arrived

Weird Shop I could have sworn I saw them in Regent's street yesterday. I don't think I'll make it there today & working from home tomorrow & Monday but can check for you on Tuesday if that is not too late?

Great practical trousers Dry , tried these yesterday but weren't convinced they merited the price tag so the BR ones could be a good alternative

Their dry clean policy is annoying though, have a skirt from there and am tempted to stick it in a cold wash instead.

Oooh how is it Shop?

Ha ha linus! The image of all the fashionistas fighting over all the Chanel branded products on the shelves after the show still makes me smile!

Thanks Stokey that's really kind - I think I'll head there on Saturday to take a look just in case. I am getting blinded by gold shoes. Need a break. Will try on sweatshirt now.

Oooooo - it's just fab Novice - so fab in fact that I have kept it on which is always a good sign (was the same with my Whistles sweat)
Please let me know details so I can pay you. I feel guilty wandering around in something I haven't yet paid for

marsha of course it's one of the original Chanel shopping trolleys

Actually, I went to France to the supermarket and the Carrefour shopping trolleys just happen to look a lot like the Chanel ones. Or vice versa.

shop yay! Great news about the sweater.

I also bought something today that I changed into the moment
I got home. A bra!

I decided to stop measuring myself (bra intervention 32 E? Ha!) and being a cheapskate so I went to a lingerie store to get fitted properly and buy some plain bras I can wear underneath a tee.

So turns out I am a 36 B...... Which is what I was before.

Found one nude and one navy Marie Jo bra that fit nicely and don't leave any marks underneath a tee. They did set me back about £180 but they are really good quality and should last me a while hoping that any future weightloss comes from my tummy and thighs and not boobs

So now I need to find a happy home for the 32 E John Lewis bras I ordered online a couple of weeks ago and that are just too big.

Linus I thought so but had to check .

Shop great news.

They look really good Stokey.

Whistles sale now on - my neon sweatshirt and the sweater Dry liked both feature......

for marsha in case you choose a Trio in a more muted colour.

Love that Linus. I wonder who will get the next Celine on here, I think it will be you .

shop re gold shoes I just saw these on the outnet. They're within budget but the black may not be what you want and only available in us size 10 though, think that's a 40?

SHOP!!!!! Have just read about sale, called local branch, reserved a s in your sweat shirt....off to collect now .........impulsive MOI?

Oh and 8 pairs boring Boden work trousers arrived....big try on later

Got it ! It's fabulous.
Fell in love with these
And this although the gorgeous sales assistant made it look ten times better with black boxy jumper! black opaques! black ankle boots and red lips. Could make me look like S and M Miss Marple though
I think Whistles is my fav shop. Fitted. Minimal styles, clean lines, not too out there, flattering, fab dresses. Lovely.

Excellent Dry! Will you get the other things. The sandals perhaps?

Nice one Dry looks awesome - the MNV sweatshirt!

freshly back from Liverpool, had to do an emergency dash to the passport office to get Dp's passport renewed so he is good to go to NYC. never been before but really enjoyed it, lots of very glamorous ladies there though, I felt a bit drab and plain in comparison!

Dry did you see these earlier? www.jcrew.com/womens_category/shoes/sandals/PRDOVR~A1836/A1836.jsp

I did see those Shop thanks. Not sure I want them so high up my leg, but I like the more delicate straps iykwim. I'm totally in love with my sweatshirt. This is why I love this thread.....
Marsha I may go in wearing bf jeans and try the sandals some time. They were lovely.

shop have you chosen your shoes?

No idea about shoes. The wedding is a week on Friday. Worse case scenario I'll wear my Whistles Bella dress and nude Floretes instead for the first wedding. Or the tomato red dress with black shoes instead. Will have a look in London on Saturday and then decide from there. Really not keen to spend £200+ on shoes that I'm not 100% sure on. Shame I won't have a shopping buddy for second opinions.... Might have to Pin pics and get votes :)

Shop Yes do. Dh is at a work thing on Sat. He never has that, very rare. So I'm doing all the stuff.

I agree on £200 on shoes you are not sure about isn't the best way to go. I feel the same way about the dress, it has to be perfect for lots of things.

You can't go wrong with a Whistles Bella dress Shop. I love Whistles in theory, Dry, but so wish they would improve their website - nothing looks appealing.

Lovestretch have 25% off new stock. I have ordered this breton and these trainers. I intend to wear them with these jeans.

Am considering if I could get to the mu, either venue. I will know closer to the time - will depend on the comings and goings of DCs. I would like to meet those of you there as I feel I half know you already (though I'll probably be the oldest one!)
