No bribery Fedup he was running around playing cars and the store staff were lovely to him. They had a big couch in the middle of the store so I chased him around that (wearing the heels!) for a bit too. He's pretty good nowadays. When he was a baby he would cry the minute I walked over the threshold of a store. Grin

I bought this Allium B dress from Atterley Road last night. I had wanted to try ed it ages ago but it was sold out then it popped up on the screen and a 12 had come back into stock. Was reduced to £39 and I used the GIFT15 code so got it for £24.

Was near a Boden shop today so had a trouser trying on session. Not good. My usual issue of the 12s fitting on waist and hips but looking stretched across the thighs. I was impressed with their skinny jeans in lapis. Really good fit, felt good quality. They are skinny at the ankle though and I need a slightly looser fit at the ankle or else I look like I have carrot legs. And this cotton biker jacket is lovely. On my 'considering it' list.

QueenC safe travels - have a wonderful time - I can't wait to hear what it's like. We were planning to go there for our honeymoon at one point but then chose Italy instead.....

QueenC have a wonderful time. I'm sure you will!

Liberty gorgeous dress for you, perfect. Really like the skinnies and biker too.

Well done one!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 20/03/2014 17:23

One that's so good, well done you!

Lovely colour dress liberty - what a bargain too.

OneLittleLady · 20/03/2014 17:27

thank you marsha and blair I'm really pleased, I don't seem to have lost any more weight but appear to have got smaller anyway as a couple of months ago, I'd never have fit in this size never mind look half decent in it Smile

shopafrolic · 20/03/2014 17:40

Liberty fab dress - love love the biker too
Well done One you're doing so well
Meant to say - when I put the gold shoes on in the store DS said "Mummy, are those dancing shoes?" :)

OneLittleLady · 20/03/2014 17:46

thanks Shop I think your Ds might be right and that they really are shoes for dancing Grin

I have a friend who is a make up artist - she currently has Jodie Kidd and Alice Temperley commenting on her post on Facebook (she did Jodie's make up for a shoot when she was wearing a Temperley dress). So showbiz! I am clearing up spilt yoghurt and emptying a potty. Hmm

lol I had an uninspiring day today Shop. Need to crack on with things.

I ordered the Saloni skirt Shop found for me. Could be good, might not suit me. Shall see when it arrives!

shopafrolic · 20/03/2014 18:21

Ooo good stuff Marsha - definitely worth a shot.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 20/03/2014 18:31

So pretty and summery Marsha, hope it's right for you.

Sleepwhenidie · 20/03/2014 18:47

Love those khaki shoes Shop - so you! And the same with the dress Lib - bet it looks lovely. I can imagine you in that skirt too Marsha - beautiful.

One - that's fantastic, bet you feel great!

Have a fab holiday QueenC!

I think I can make the MU - please put me on the list!

I spent half an hour fantasy shopping in Question Air this afternoon as I had a spare half hour before school pick up. Some nice summer stuff but it was so cold out today I couldn't muster enthusiasm - am going to keep an eye on this maxi dress however. What I was drawn towards was super soft sweatpants and hoodies Confused - I think all this yoga I'm doing is getting to me Shock. They have the same stuff cheaper on Shopbop (Splendid and Sundry) but its still pretty ££ - somebody convince me I don't need to blow £150 on what is, essentially, a tracksuit!

OneLittleLady · 20/03/2014 18:49

I do feel great sleep I bought it on the off chance that it would fit, tried it on and it fits beautifully. I was all set to take it back but there's no need this time.

Lovely skirt Marsha hope it works for you

LinusDKD · 20/03/2014 18:52

Those khaki shoes are so you shop! Gorgeous. We will need to see an action shot.

Well done one! It is great when you can fit in smaller sizes.

That dress is gorgeous liberty! I love the colour and the style.

I would love to come to the MU in July but not sure I can make it then. Remind me nearer the time!

Bonsoir · 20/03/2014 19:01

OK - we are definitely going for the Lanvin bag - there are eleven of us clubbing together. I had a good look at Balenciaga (where we have a 50% discount...) and Miu Miu yesterday but there was nothing more appropriate for our friend.

shop - khaki is a fab colour for shoes! Khaki and gold is one of my favourite colour combinations... just add in some pink and beige...

shopafrolic · 20/03/2014 19:29

50% discount
Gorgeous gift, lucky, lucky friend.

The khaki shoes have had to be ordered in. The size 40 were a little too small so I won't have them until next week. Will need to go out for lots of meals with girlfriends to get the CPW down.
Sleep I adore that maxi for you. ON the yoga wear, no idea and no help as I just spent £85 on Pilates kit (mats etc)

shopafrolic · 20/03/2014 19:31

Bonsoir I just asked my friend what she'd like for her 40th gift, she wants us to club together for a food mixer - which is why I come on here to talk fashion! Grin

I will be 40 next year .

I would like a Chanel 2.55 in black caviar leather with silber hardware.

I'm sure you lovely MNvoguettes can start saving up now to buy me this lovely bag. Wink Grin

LinusDKD · 20/03/2014 19:36

Silber? SILVER (not sure where that German word came from)

shopafrolic · 20/03/2014 19:45

Evening!
Shop I really enjoyed the live shopping so did the sales lady in the bathroom showroom Grin we both loved the gold and now I've seen the khaki , think they're fab too.
sleep maxi dress....tick, blues.....tick, dip dyed....tick.......it's dix points from Dry
liberty beautiful dress
Marsha great skirt..

Well, I've tried on all Boden trousers in the search of decent navy work trousers and they're all going back. I'm keeping the banana republic navy Sloan fit......sticking with what I know suits and fits me and the quality is great.

Qc have a great break

LinusDKD · 20/03/2014 19:52

What do you mean shop? I thought I was worth it?! Grin

shopafrolic · 20/03/2014 19:53

Love the group participation Dry. I think the store staff thought I was mad taking pictures and waiting for beeps before I could decide Grin
