Ooh I might have to get some black pointy kitten heels marsha...

Annianni · 31/03/2014 20:43

Justa, how were the Trinas?

Drywhiteplease · 31/03/2014 20:43

I'm watching the Joanna Lumley meets Will.i.am documentary. Fascinating.

Evening. I'm lying in the bath and it feels weird to be talking to you all whilst I'm naked Grin

marsha can totally see you in white denim
dec forgot to say shame about the Burberry but great other purchases
stokey I like that dress

Haven't done a lot today but had to pick up the car from the garage so nipped into the big sainsburys next door. They have some really good stuff in. Tried on a couple of cotton skirts which were lovely but just didn't seem not sit right on me and also a white broderie top which I would have bought but the 8 was huge Confused and I'm not sure whether they do a 6.

I can't stop thinking about the zara top but no idea when I will next make it into town as it's about to be Easter hols. Have only ever bought a crappy linen tee from zara before so not sure about sizing so don't really want to order online.

MarshaBrady · 31/03/2014 20:57

Anni that's good to know, I was starting to feel a bit worried. I'm used to very fast sites that communicate very well over a week. If it doesn't happen I wonder what they are up to. Btw I loved those jeans you got ages ago, I meant to say that.. ages ago!

DryGrin. I couldn't possibly! I couldn't see the skirt link, but can see the look on pin, very nice.

Drywhiteplease · 31/03/2014 20:57

What channel Shop? Don't think I can bare One Born Every Minute

I've done that before queenc, just never told anyone Wink

shopafrolic · 31/03/2014 21:00

Recorded it Dry . It was BBC1 on Friday might I think - you'd find it on iPlayer.

shopafrolic · 31/03/2014 21:07

This is his recycling project he launched with Coke. V impressive...Ekocycle

QueenCadbury · 31/03/2014 21:10

Seeing the vest reminded me to order this in navy. As it's a multibuy offer I added a light blue one in too hoping it's an iced blue colour.

shopafrolic · 31/03/2014 21:15

“I’m ignoring my problems; I’m paying attention to my dreams” - nice quote from Mr I.am.

Drywhiteplease · 31/03/2014 21:20

I'm watching Shop I love him. We watch him on Sesame St at school sometimes. Such a happy, positive, enthusiastic man. My kind of person.
here Marsha

Such a philanthropist - I feel really inspired.

maradesbois · 31/03/2014 22:05

marsha that's funny you linked Emmanuelle Alt, I have in my head images of some of you voguettes and would have put you as her (style-wise) but wearing more colours and less black. A few ideas about some others :

dry I would imagine a bit like jasmine Guinness, classic chic, dark hair, red lips
novice a bit like a mix of dry above and Juliana marguiles in the good wife but with short hair and more jewellery!
shop I picture dark-haired as well, short-medium length, able to work lots of different looks i/o one particular style so harder to pin down but generally trendy/fashion forward/bright colours/prints.
blair see shop above but long hair.
santa long dark hair, effortless-looking euro-chic.
linus fair, classic, feminine, the euro look of understatement but always with a great handbag!

No need to comment on how I did, its just funny how without even trying you get a mental picture of people you've never met. Don't know where all the hair comments came from!

justasecond · 31/03/2014 22:11

Shop Yes those are the ones. They had them in all those colours too. I needed size 40 they didn't have them Sad again. They were 90 there with another 20% off I think.
Anni I kept the silver and cream trinas.I though they would go better with summer outfits. They are lovely and so comfortable.
My whistles jumper is lovely even DH liked the colour, says it reminds him of a sports car he once saw Hmm. It is too big though so will have to send back and see if I can get a size 12 from somewhere. I am really stingy when it comes to postage and don't want to pay the 5.95 delivery from Harrods if I don't have to Blush

Drywhiteplease · 31/03/2014 22:14

Oh Mara first I thought you meant LuLu ! Love jasmine's style. Same colour eyes, not the cleavage (sadly) and not so much red lippy, more browny pink shade always NEVEr without . Obsessed with hair too. Smile

QueenCadbury · 31/03/2014 22:19

mara how about me? A lot of people on here have met me but I'm intrigued to know how you see me?

maradesbois · 31/03/2014 22:31

queenc didn't mean to leave anyone out, just listed a few who sprang to mind but now you mention it...

...tall, long wavy blonde or brunette, a bit like how I described linus but perhaps with a bit of a boho twist. Could be just imagining the boho from you going to morocco ie perusing the souks clad in long skirts and embroidered floaty white tops, my own India wardrobe!

BrandyAlexander · 31/03/2014 22:39

MaraGrin Julianna in the good wife is about right on work wardrobe. My hair isn't short though (albeit some people think so as I put it into a chignon a lot....though not that ghastly doughnut bun look that's currently very popular).

shopafrolic · 31/03/2014 22:46

Mara short dark hair here, more colour in my wardrobe nowadays but haven't got the hang of print yet. Can't wait till you meet us all. Some will definitely surprise you based on your descriptions.
It reminds me of when I used to work in telesales for my first job. Spoke to this really hot sounding guy every week, very flirty. When I finally met him he was nothing like the image in my head.
When I met up with the MNVoguettes for the first time only Marsha was just as I'd imagined.

shopafrolic · 31/03/2014 22:47

Thanks justa perhaps I'll call them. I lusted after those shoes all last summer!

Drywhiteplease · 31/03/2014 22:49

Wonder how you had imagined me Shop?

OP posts:
BrandyAlexander · 31/03/2014 23:02

Oh Shop you have just reminded me of this Italian I used to work with. Seriously H-O-T. Till I met him. He was shorter than me, balding and portly. He wasn't what I was expecting!
