They sometimes have nwt Stella stuff or a Burberry coat, but all still very ££.

Bonsoir · 21/03/2014 12:15

novice - we have 30% at Saint-Laurent too Grin

Why do our friends not work at the brands we actually want to shop at

DP has permanent discounts at Lacoste, Aigle, Gant... none of which I want to wear!

Love that hat and Ines too, goes without saying, Shop
I dreamt about new toilets last night Hmm

Morning

Missed all the bag talk last night - it's my 40th this year, can I join the MN luxury bag queue? [Grin]

Well done One & Mara on weight loss. I tried 5:2 for a bit in Jan & feb but found I was getting rather grumpy on my fast days, and never managed to eat less than 600ish I think.

Saw [[http://labelsmostwanted.co.uk/product/anya-hindmarch-satsuma-velvet-calfskin-leather-mini-gracie-bag-new-receipt/this Anya Hiindmarch bag today]] which seems like a bit of bargain, tempting.

Shop DD2 also has v dodgy stomach today & is using potty, can't decide whether it is better or worse than nappy, may try & get her on the child loo seat if she has to go again!

Stokey · 21/03/2014 14:24

Ah dunno what happened to my link this bag

shopafrolic · 21/03/2014 14:38

Stokey I have one of those mini Gracies in red that I need to sell. PM me if you're interested. Used twice. Still have paperwork and dust bag.

shop hope shop jr feels better,

one excellent news,

Sorry sleep,but I think unless you live in Malibu or somewhere hot ,a total track suit can look out of place here Smile,but if will wear it for work then it can totally be worth it.

bonsoir for a moment I thought your friend is François pinault Grin,

dry our en suite is small too,we didnt change much with the original layout,just added a vanity,marble instead of the ugly cheap tiles,changed the shower as it was ancient, we have a bath and a good sized shower.if I could do it again,I would get a big walk in shower instead of the bath with niche shelf ,looks so much nicer.

What are the measurements,?

And a word of advice,pinterst and houzz can be bad,I suggest just picking first,one thing,like the tiles and paint,if you got that, then everything else will be much easer,I like the look of patterned floor tiles,more like mosaic,
Bathrooms and kitchens are very expensive,and very difficult to do,thats why you have specialised designers for these areas.

And in regards,to a perfect present for a significant birthday,I chose a watch for my 30th, and I really love
it,mara I wanted the steel date just,but dh got me the two toned one,,now if I can get the love bracelet for my next birthday,I would be a very happy girl .

Bonsoir · 21/03/2014 15:01

smn - his personal counsel...

Stokey · 21/03/2014 15:20

Thanks Shop have PMed you

Dh suggested getting me theatre tickets for my birthday present Hmm

shopafrolic · 21/03/2014 16:08

Messaged you back Stokey

MarshaBrady · 21/03/2014 16:40

Stokey it's a good year for it. Auspicious I'd say. Was there someone else too? Mara?

What are you planning, will you do a party?

Sleepwhenidie · 21/03/2014 17:55

Hi - quick q please - does anyone have experience of buying bags from ebay, coming from the US? Should I expect to be stung for customs duty Confused? If so how much?

santamarianovella · 21/03/2014 17:56

OMG OMG, this is the cover of vogue April addition, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ANNA?

Or is Anna wintour trying to tell us is fashion is dying and Kim k might as well get the cover of vogue Grin,

santamarianovella · 21/03/2014 18:00

shopafrolic · 21/03/2014 18:10

Interesting that there is no mention of it on Vogue.co.uk

ANNA WINTOUR'S EDITOR'S LETTER
'Part of the pleasure of editing Vogue, one that lies in a long tradition of this magazine, is being able to feature those who define the culture at any given moment, who stir things up, whose presence in the world shapes the way it looks and influences the way we see it.
I think we can all agree on the fact that that role is currently being played by Kim and Kanye to a T. (Or perhaps that should be to a K?)

'As for the cover, my opinion is that it is both charming and touching, and it was, I should add, entirely our idea to do it; you may have read that Kanye begged me to put his fiancée on Vogue’s cover.
He did nothing of the sort. The gossip might make better reading, but the simple fact of the matter is that it isn’t true.

'There’s barely a strand of the modern media that the Kardashian Wests haven’t been able to master, and for good reason: Kanye is an amazing performer and cultural provocateur, while Kim, through her strength of character, has created a place for herself in the glare of the world’s spotlight, and it takes real guts to do that.'

Sleep, I've just bought some jeans from us ebay.

I paid £60 for the jeans, £11 for the postage and I need to pay royal mail £11 for customs fees (and £8 for royal mail's handling fees) Hmm

Annianni · 21/03/2014 18:57

I can't believe they've put KK on Vogue

MarshaBrady · 21/03/2014 19:11

That is bad. That hashtag is annoying too.

Sleepwhenidie · 21/03/2014 19:16

Oh dear God, Shock at that Vogue cover...next week will be the latest c list 'beach body'...

Thanks Anni, I'm looking at a bag that's a bargain (though still ££) as the exchange rate is pretty good atm but customs would change that a bit!

MarshaBrady · 21/03/2014 19:27

I think it's because I've never got into the KK thing. I don't watch the show. And I like a bit off fluff but it all seems to have passed me by.
