[Drywhiteplease]

Come and join us for friendly fashion chat. Some of our glasses are empty because we're trying to loose weight, but were still happy, non judgemental, flippant and welcoming lot. We love new visitors (ESP Shop who will hug you)

How about a jersey blazer Queenc these somehow look a bit more relaxed than a traditional blazer.....too pale?
Hope One Shop and you QueenC all feel better soon

Great minds dry. I've just ordered this jersey blazer from gap. I'm hoping it can be bunged in the washing machine as it will be worn to the park etc.

I love that blazer queenc! Especially the combination of grey and yellow.

Those skirts are really lovely Dry. Sadly, I think I am too short and curvy of hip (despite being slim elsewhere) so they would make me look "mumsy" (controversial) but think would look amazing with the right top and accessories. I have found myself drawn back to Oasis over the last year, there is a girl at work who always looks amazing and every time I ask her where an outfit is from, more often than not she says Oasis so I might have a good look at their ss14.

For tonight, I am in bed in some very comfy M&S pjs. Dh is downstairs having fallen asleep on the sofa. He really snapped at me in front of the dcs at their bedtime so I am rather cross with him. I am doing my usual Sunday night candles, listening to Magic and indulging in a very big glass of red and some Brie, which I picked up at la gard du nord on Thursday.

Dry! I got this love the colours last week - I can't find it on the oasis site but it s great wore it with a black fine knit, and have it with s patterned t too. I love it.
Happy Mother's Day everyone, had a really lovely day here. Hope everyone had a nice day.
Great cardi coat Linus,
Pretty bangles shop.
Marsha how's the dress hunt going?

One hope you re feeling Perkier.

to everyone x

Happy Mother's Day!

to all of you who are under the weather.

linus great paul&joe cardigan. Also really liked the topshop dress you linked for dry but think probably too young for me too.

queenc like the gap blazer, perfect for this time of year.

Have had a lovely day, been out for a big lunch in brasserie of fave local hotel and walk in the sunshine.

Just had a bit of confusion, thought we were going away in 3 weeks but got my dates wrong and its 2 weeks tomorrow, aargh. So much to arrange & complete beforehand for work etc, wardrobe should be least of my concerns but tricky as will be away for a while and need clothes suitable for climates from northern France to Mediterranean. Keep checking out this scarf as love the colours and the fabric seems super thin but would also be warm due to cashmere content. It may just look cheap though, don't even know the label so would be a lot of money to spend. Any thoughts/better value alternatives?

Mara, I have two Chan Luu scarves, soft and warm, excellent quality. I bought mine from a website called socharming.co.uk, they often have discounts.

Hope you are feeling better, Shop.

I had no luck finding the Burberry coat, Linus (coatigan looks great), I tried several dept stores and Burberry said they won't be restocking it. So bought a Coach wrap strap watch (I figure the Hermes version is not happening), grey Stylesnob ballet shoes as recommended by Frugalfashionista and a new Le Pliage to get over the disappointment!

Lovely bracelets Shop.

decameron thank you, that's brilliant. had a quick check on the site and they have loads of lovely colours. Think I found a 25% off code too! Will look properly tomorrow.

mara this scarf is in the same colours as the Chan Luu one but in cotton and linen so less £££. But probably less warm as well.

I had pinned it on my S/S wishlist but maybe now I'll have to pin the Chan Luu one as well

Sorry mara just saw your scarf is grey and blue and not white and blue like the one I linked.

Turq I've got a bit of time so I hope something will appear on the outnet. Or I'll go to Liberty (should have voucher finally!). Love the skirt.

Happy belated Mother's Day everyone

We had & adults, 6 little girls, a dog and a puppy round for the first barbie of the year, lovely but hectic. Got complimented on my outfit - paige hoxtons, j-crew red tee & long necklace - so was chuffed & feel MNV deserve some credit

Liking the Oasis skirts Dry, spookily was planning on popping into BR in my lunch to see if they had some pencil skirts a bit cheaper than this J-Crew one so will have to check out Oasis too

Morning all. Still feeling rough so having dropped off the dc I'm now back in bed,

linus I'm not sure about the yellow lining which is why I ummed and aahed a lot before ordering.

I love oasis although haven't bought from there for a while as they haven't had colours to suit. I want to check this emerald camisole out though.

I need to go to zara and check this out. I love it.

Very nice.

Stokey fab outfit. Is your Erdem arriving today?

Thanks Marsha - Erdem is due tomorrow, fingers crossed it arrives before 12 as have to take DD1 to Moorfields at 1.30
Think the DHL man normally arrives in the morning so hoping it is the same one.

Good luck, hope so too. Dhl is pretty regular here. Between 11 and 12 with each one.

Morning! Again!

dry I just tried on that broderie Mango dress in our local shopping center and whilst the dress itself is a nice shape, the colour is all wrong for me. On me it looks like I haven't washed my white dress for weeks.

It does have a slip dress inside so the dress itself is not too see through.

Ordered th.ese. as a jeans alternative
Marsha - I m sure you ll get something lovely.
I ve just ordered a dress for a family party - will link when it arrives, not sure until I try it on. It s maybe a bit casual. But hoping I ll get lots of summer wear from it as it s a style I love.

Queen - spotted that top in zara last week, it s lovely.
Anyone notice my sparkly flats were in the STS this week ?

Stokey hope you catch Dhl today

Linus - 5 am! Grrroooaann! Can you grab an afternoon nap?
We re off swimming and climbing for the afternoon.
Dec - great shopping, shame about the coat though.

Morning all.
Outfit sounds great Stokey
QueenC I'm feeling your pain - still ill here. Need to shift it before we go on hols on Friday. Am planning on spending this afternoon on the sofa with DS AGAIN! Poor kid.
Novice for reminding me about ISA deadlines, went to the bank this morning - had totally forgotten. You're a lifesaver.
Some nice Frame Denim on the Outnet this morning if anyone is interested. A lovely light pair Marsha but not in your size :(

Shop and QueenC I too feel both your pain, still ill here as well. Hope everyone is better soon

Shop, QueenC, One, hope you're all feeling better

What do you think of this & Other stories dress?

Bought it in my lunch break but very different to what I usually wear, haven;t done midis for at least 15 years. Still tried it on & was surprisingly nice, not sure the picture does it justice.

Hello everyone!
hope you all had good days yesterday. Mine was super busy visiting DM and mil who was nice to me!!
Hope everyone who is ill feels better soon. I have had a horrid cold and ds not well today too.
Have been ordering a few bits and bobs. I got the NB trainers and have worn already, so comfy!
these ones

I also bought this bright orange jumper from whistles but am not sure about it yet www.harrods.com/product/hana-marl-crew-sweater/whistles/000000000003761648?cat1=new-women&cat2=women-new-knitwear&cat3=women-new-knitwear-sweaters&cid=LS&siteID=Hy3bqNL2jtQ-Mk4Z6yuGU2h7LJKA7dsrXQ need to do a try on.
Stokey That Stories dress is really lovely.
Turquoise great printed trousers. I love wearing this sort of trouser in the summer but only when really hot as I feel the cold and have them encased in denim most of the year!
Queen that Zara top is pretty.
Linus glad you finally went for the coatigan. It is lovely.
I like your bracelets ShopI got a MBMJ leather wrap bracelet (chosen by me) as my mothers day pressie, love it.
Be back later when I have caught up more than the last page!
