MNV Vol 36

[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)

Evening everyone!
Hope everyone is ok
One hope you are better today, what a horrible experience.
Shop how annoying about your car hope it gets sorted ok. I accidently clipped someones bumper the other week trying to get out of the way of an ambulance. The man was a bit of a git despite me apologising a million times. He just went on and on about it.
Liberty lovely tops. i love a bit of chambray too.
How interesting that people who actually make stuff might be lurking. If you are reading please can I have:
pointy silver leather flat shoes that are non slingback
a slightly oversized longer length (just below knee on a 5ft 7 person) trench coat in a cotton mix
black or navy trousers with an elasticated waist and slightly loose tapered fit , 7/8 length trousers with a drawstring waist and slanted pockets in preferably cotton but not jersey.
All at high st prices obvs

I'm ok thanks Justa I just hope they caught the person who did it and the man who was hurt is going to recover

Spent the day swishing around in my lovely BWNT Phase Eight charity shop find dress. I look fairly slimmish in it to my own untrained eye! Starting to feel much better about myself now, I actually try to make the effort to look nice and like I care about my appearance instead of hiding away in too big clothes.

Blimey it has been a busy day! One what a rubbish experience! And Shop you poor thing on the car.

Dry, i laughed so hard when i saw you thought i drove a range rover. . No chance, I am rubbish at parking and so don't like big cars! You were close on the other car though - i drive this - although i rarely get to drive it as we usually have the dcs and so we go in the family car.

I am intrigued by the idea of folks reading the thread for research purposes. So if Boodles are reading.....hello lovely people, I quite like this bracelet. That's all. Ta very much. .

That top's gorgeous liberty. We have an OB in town so will check it out (planning on nipping in at some point over Easter even if have to drag 3 dc with me as want to go to zara).

I'm going to be busy over the next few days. Need to pack for weekend away and have book club tonight and apparently where we're going on holiday doesn't have wifi . Not sure if dh is winding me up or nor not though . If I don't see you before then catch you next week...

Good morning all

Liking my outfit today, black trousers, pink jumper, ankle boots, coat, bag and various bits of silver jewellery. Nice shiny navy gel nails (sneaked out of work for an hour the other day) - they make me feel very 'finished off'

What's everyone else wearing?

Mara if you find that brush let me know!

Turq you have convinced need I need brogues. I am always late on trends. Where did you get your snakeskin ones?

Morning,

Novice love the boodles blossom collection too - I would choose this long necklace. Have always loved the van cleef Alhambra ones too. One day...

Morning voguettes.

I have a lovely day today with ds and dh in town, swish breakfast then going to check out Matches and maybe Liberty (without them, they can do boyish stuff!).

Just checking out the scene today, not buying yet.

Ha ha, I can't stay away long. Just wanted to know if anyone has a Boden cardi? Reviews say true to size but with such inconsistent sizing nowadays I don't know whether I'm a 6, 8 or 10 .

Also, you've got to love next. I ordered last night and it's here already. It was an emergency order for some dc trousers for weekend away but may have sneaked in a couple of things to try. Will report back later.

Now this has shop written allover it

Camo espadrilles!

They are CHF 24.80 too lazy to calculate what that is in GBP

Morning.

liberty like your outfit, esp the trousers. I'm wearing a pink jumper too, this one with navy H&M cropped cigarette trousers and some old M&S mary janes that are grey, white and coral. (Haven't worn them in ages and was amazed how comfy round toed shoes are compared to the pointy ones I've been wearing!)

I can recommend the clarks brogues as being really comfy and good value but snakeskin is very cool and they don't do those.

Sounds like a lovely day Marsha, enjoy trying on dresses :)

mara I tried on the Alhambra necklace and bracelet in white gold and mother of pearl last year in NY.

DH had to drag me away because I was seriously considering doing a runner with them as they were just perfection.

So I pinned them on my 'One Day' board on Pinterest.

Shop are you on pg61 of Grazia, talking about sleeping with men and women?

Just thought I'd let you know that I've deleted my pin board that was originally connected to this thread.

Apologies for any recent pins that are now gone.
I can't be bothered with the hassle at the moment.

Hello all, queen c I have a merino one from Boden from a few seasons back, I usually size down there but do look at the reviews to check.
Boodles I love a lot! Really enjoyed recent docu on channel 4 about them, a friend is often invited to their social events and has a great time.

Anni I don't have Grazia WTF?

£17 ish Linus nope - with espadrilles it has to be sunshine colours. Am wondering about yellow next / or orange of course! Current ones are Soludos ones - bright red.

Liberty I have these pseudo snakeskin Clarks ones
These are nice for summer or woven ones

Ignore me I thought Clarks didn't have snakeskin!

I went for a size 8 Boden cardi. I'm hoping it's blue colour that I've been searching for the past year.

The things from next are this black top and this grey one. I think the black one is a keeper as although I don't wear a lot of black in the daytime anymore I like to have something just in case I fancy it. And at that price it's not the end of the world if I don't wear it loads. I want to love the grey one but sadly the shape is wrong for me.

Now, I really must get on with packing...

Nice colour cardie QueenC

Osprey are opening a shop opposite my office tomorrow, my day off - how dare they! Saw press people leaving carrying goody bags as I was coming back from lunch

And on the brogues front - what do you think of [[http://www.dunelondon.com/leep-laser-cut-out-lace-up-jazz-shoe-0155508730001393/ these gold ones]? Very cheap, am tempted but may be a step too far for my conservative work place

Hi all.

Well, I am always recommending Me & Em so a nice big voucher would go down well. :)

I have no interest in cars, I wanted to get a Golf as it is a nightmare parking around here but like every second person on the street, we have an Audi estate. I tend to agree with you Amber about the Range Rovers, Porsche Cayennes etc. Lots of those here too. Actually, would like Sleep's friends' chauffeur.

Turquoise, cool trousers!

Nice cardigan, QueenC. I think Boden knitwear is true to size.

I like your outfit, Liberty but are you not sweltering?

I bought these Gap jeans two sizes down and they fit so well, I don't think I'll go back to Goldsign. wearing them today with new grey stylesnob ballet flatsthis cardigan and matching topwhich I bought in Comptoir yesterday. Saw loads of things I liked there, particularly these shoes. I have similar already but not as cool.

Returned this All Saints top as there was too much material/too drapey even after sizing down, annoyed me.

And late to the trend I ordered these Hudson camo jeans from the HOF sale.

Think I might stop shopping for a bit and have a clear out as we are moving end of May. Also no doubt there'll be things I want in the summer sales!

Oops have 4 minutes to get to the school to collect my DD1, hope all well!

Worth a try for that price Stokey!

I have ...

... Bought some actual work clothes!

I have been called in to do a pitch on Monday and cannot keep wearing that old Sandro skirt, it makes me want to weep. I've been doing this stuff for 3 years now and I can't keep putting it off.

So I bought a really thick stretchy navy Sonia Rykiel skirt and orange Acne top in Liberty. Really happy with both. Good for going out with friends in the next couple of weeks (and our mu, good cpw .

Really happy! Will be back later with links.
