Santa I love it - colour, shape and print. Bet it looks amazing on you.

Linus oh no poor you! Hope you feel better soon.

santamarianovella · 23/03/2014 19:26

marsha its really gorgeous IRL,love the idea of a loose ,demure,but show your legs kinda of dress,

I also bought this dress from NAP,and I'm soooo happy with,it ,out of all the stuff I bought for summer ,this dress and my vanessa Bruno skirt and sweater are the things I can't hardly wait to wear!

dry you are going to a ball?! OMG! How exciting!!!

MarshaBrady · 23/03/2014 19:27

Me too. In fact that's what I want for the wedding and summer. So easy to wear.

Dry what will you wear?!

MarshaBrady · 23/03/2014 19:27

The C&P is fab too.

MarshaBrady · 23/03/2014 19:31

This was the dress I was thinking of, back when I was looking for the pin. But it's a bit bright for a wedding. And not sure on fabric and perhaps a bit too casual for a wedding but great for a lunch. (and also the pin that ds exclaimed was me. I laughed and gave him a kiss, he'll make a good bf one day Wink).

But I love that style, shortish, but not too short and loose. Great with heels or flats.

santamarianovella · 23/03/2014 19:39

You might get away with flats,I can't Grin,I need heels.

The model does look a bit like you,its beautiful.

MarshaBrady · 23/03/2014 19:40

I wish everyone was so forgiving as ds! Grin

Unfortunately it's polyester I think.

santamarianovella · 23/03/2014 19:44

J.crew is ok for knits and tees,but their other stuff is just too £££. There is no difference in price between a jcrew collection dress and a Stella m, or marant one,

shopafrolic · 23/03/2014 19:47

Santa your description of how DH handles illness is spot on! Love the dress
I've had a wardrobe clear out this afternoon. Time to move stuff on, bits I haven't worn, or bits I've worn too much now and don't feel fresh anymore. I'm also going to sell a Mulberry as I have the guilts about the sunglasses I bought yesterday.
Not sure where best to sell the handbag, EBay or somewhere else? Any tips?
Just been out for a meal with DH and DS, nice way to end the weekend.
I'm wearing my camouflage sweatshirt with my new COS necklace Not sure about the necklace...... DH likes it.

Yep and whilst it looks incredible there, it doesn't look so fabulous on the J Crew site. But something like your Stella M one would be fab.

MarshaBrady · 23/03/2014 19:50

Shop I haven't done it but I always thought eBay was a good bet as Mulberry are sought after.

shopafrolic · 23/03/2014 19:52

Marsha you've made me panic that my Reiss dress will be too bright for a wedding? here
Linus feel better soon. Awful time of year for bugs.
Grumpy welcome back. Love the Mother Hubbard reference. Umlauf welcome back too! balcony sounds fab. Mirrors outside make spaces appear bigger too?

MarshaBrady · 23/03/2014 19:54

I think yours is great Shop, it's more a tomato red than a bright, almost neon orange. I would probably consider the orange one more if it was silk.

MarshaBrady · 23/03/2014 19:54

oh and Grumpy welcome back! Great to see you.

santamarianovella · 23/03/2014 19:55

shop eBay,is best for mulberry,and since you have a good eBay record think it will do well.

santamarianovella · 23/03/2014 19:57

shop your dress is beautiful

shopafrolic · 23/03/2014 20:30

Ok, will try EBay. It's my Ledbury I'm planning on selling.
Glad the dress is ok. No time to rethink now.

I have lost a further half inch from my waist putting me 30.5" now Grin

I really need some new tops but I just can't find anything I like in the shops, I have plenty of skirts,dresses,jeans and t-shirts/vests but distinctly lacking in 'nice' tops

libertychick · 23/03/2014 21:21

Did you get some Petty’s on BA Marsha? By the time I looked there were only size 3 left!
Sorry to hear you are so stressed Novice - love the sound of your wedding tiara BTW.
Stokey I don’t own a kindle so I can’t test it on the mini gracie but I don’t think it would fit. If you want to measure your kindle I am happy to check.
Good to see you back Grumpy and welcome back to Umlauf also.
I really like that Stella dress Santa. And the C&P one – I’ve pinned it to my wishlist!
I’m still a bit stressed Shop - period started today so hopefully won’t feel so tired in a day or two which will help.
One I need some nice tops too Smile.
linus hope you feel better soon.

libertychick · 23/03/2014 21:22

Oh and Dry - necklace in is the post! At last Smile

MarshaBrady · 23/03/2014 21:32

Liberty no thought I have enough really! Also they didn't have any 7s when I looked. Sorry to hear you are feeling stressed Sad, hope you have a good night sleep.

Novice you too. Hope all is ok.

Drywhiteplease · 23/03/2014 22:06

Thanks so much, v excited Liberty
Shop love how you're channelling me Hmm....or should that be Channel-ing Grin I wish
santa the Stella dress is gorgeous.
Marsha you'd look fab in that orange dress with Gigis for relaxed day in summer.
I agree, Grumpy we've missed you. Gold cup was so exciting...I had to stop the car and park up to listen!
Linus hope you're ok.

Ooooh I love a ball I do, you know me any chance to get dressed up and wear heelsGrin. I've always worn full length in the past, but this time fancy wearing a short red like to fade into the back ground...not Coast dress with pewter accessories I've worn only once before and felt fab but dangerous in. I always go a bit bonkers when I wear red to a do Grin

maradesbois · 23/03/2014 22:24

Evening all,

Just popping in, been a lovely weekend after a terrible week for all sorts of reasons. Champagne and seafood last night with friends & holiday planning today, dates and itinerary sorted, yay. one I need new tops for spring too & a cardigan or jumper, skirt & day dress maybe this but perhaps too short.

linus sorry you are under the weather
umlauf welcome back from holiday
santa love, love the stella dress!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 23/03/2014 22:31

Hope you are OK mara. And Linus hope your bug is gone soon.

Dry I agree there's something about a red dress that just makes you feel really daring, I love the sound of that outfit!

Gorgeous dresses santa and Marsha, summer is truly on the way Grin

libertychick · 23/03/2014 23:00

Red dress sounds great Dry

I do need some tops - so have just done an Atterley Road order - it seems I have forgiven them Smile. The labels they do are more my price range than NaP or Matches etc.

And so to bed....
