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)

Ah yes it's fabulous isn't it. If I had bought that you'd be the first people to know

Blair that's nice. There's loads of stuff in the sale section if anyone wants a Cos wardrobe refresh.

Stokey another vote for the Erdem dress; it's lovely. Have you ordered it?

Marsha have you got one of the crisp packet bags? What colour? I love them but too £££ for me.

Saw these earlier. Am tempted as need a new pair of pumps but couldn't be bothered to try on!

Love that Cos dress too Blair but not me either.

Oh, just saw you don't have the crisp packet Marsha .

Btw, Mig hasn't posted for a while? Is all ok?

Fed up I know, crisp bag isn't it scrummy.

I don't usually pin the stuff I really can get until I've bought it as I don't want it to sell out!

The Erdem gets a vote from me as well, I hope you got it.

My S/S wishlist is getting longer and longer and I am itching to buy some more items but I am saving myself for when the Céline store calls about that cobalt hobo.

That's worth the pain Linus definitely.
Sat in the car park waiting to go in for Pilates. Nice to escape and let DH do bedtime.

linus I know what you mean! My SS14 board is so full now of things,and I can't bear to look at it,as its making me all confused
,and now I need a sweater too,spent all day trying to talk myself out of this sweater, I have a similar one from jcrew,And its too £££,must find a cheaper one,

Mine is full of pretty SS things not in my wardrobe. That would be the my wardrobe board. Perhaps I should change its name

That's fab Santa.

Yup my pinterest boards have to have very clear names so I don't confuse myself, as there are so many which are all just full of clothes

I'm with you Linus, have made myself a strict budget for a few things I really want/need that takes me up to 2 months' time, when I'll be in Vegas and hopefully coming home with a new handbag too (though not a celine!)

Oh and meant to say - does anyone else love Masterchef? New series tonight at 9 can't wait!

Yep Blair have changed it to 'SS14 - just looking' to avoid confusion. I wish I had all that stuff.

Vegas will be fun. I went there years ago, where are you staying? One of the big hotels? (if you can say).

What do you have in mind blair? You simply cannot mention a bag purchase here and just walk away , details!

Although I'd happily settle for Santa's SS board. Nice pins!

Evening all. It's been a long day and I'm exhausted. Not faring too well on my new tablets, they make me feel quite ill but the pharmacist assures me this feeling will pass and it's quite normal when you start the tablets. Little fashion news to report other than I am wearing a size 14! yes, a 14! Very pleased with that

Hello again all.

Wrote a mega-post with links and everything the other evening and lost it, so gave up.

Santa - love the sweater.

Dry - don't ever presume that it will be warm because it's late June. I haven't had a warm day at RA yet. There was one day, a few years ago, but I wasn't there that day - DH went alone. A few years ago it was so cold on the Saturday (last day) that the Owners & Trainers car park was just about empty by 7pm when usually it's still buzzing at 9pm with picnics and debauchery. My advice is to have a contingency, or at least a fab coat because chances are you will need it - you will be outside most of the time and it's a long day. Are you excited yet? I just sent in my badges form yesterday and need to start planning my outfits. I won't be buying much, probably just a couple of dresses and recycling what I already have. I think this Tory Burch may be in order. I discovered it about 2 weeks ago while looking for something else on the site and then saw it on Pink Peonies a couple of days ago, so it must be a sign. It won't be quite so short on me though shortarse

Thanks marsha,I'm trying,to stop adding,it makes my head hurts thinking about it,buying a carefully selected wardrobe is no easy task!.i keep dreaming about things I can't normally wear daily,

So here is a question for you all What's the one item on your SS board, you know that its completely impractical,but would make you deliriously happy if you manage to get it?
For me its this Rossi heels, completely impractical,can't wear them in cold weather,not to mention they look like the hurt like hell,but I sooo want them!

Marsha we are staying at the Wynn. I haven't been before (DP has twice) so I am very excited!

santa I'm sorry . Here goes... I had been thinking of the Pashli, but went off it after seeing someone with one that had gone a bit slouchy. I think I mentioned the Reed Krakoff Atlantique as well a while back - gone off that too now and the current front runner is a Reed Krakoff Boxer instead. I love this colourway

I definitely think I want a US brand or what's the fun of buying in the US otherwise? (and to get more for my £) - this will be a massive purchase for me but my current day bag is a 4 year old Mulberry and I am just bored of it

santa I don't think I have any impractical items on my wishlist but this Burberry trench is very practical and would make me very happy.

decam have you tried it IRL?

Oh new bag - exciting Blair. That colourway is great.

I'm off to bed - Santa getting this dress would make me very happy Have absolutely no need for it though

Grumpy great to see you

blair I like reed Krakoff bags,too,they look really well made,

one that's amazing,well done!

grumpy do spill! What debauchery,!

linus, that's gorgeous,burberry trench coats,are worth every penny,I had mine since I was 22, a present from,my mum when I first started my job,I was not very thrilled with it,wanted a chanel bag instead ,

liberty it would look amazing on you! Beautiful color,

Blair that is gorgeous.

Santa they are lovely too. Most of my stuff is impossibly pretty and impossibly £££, so unlikely, but I'm going for the Valentino. This time Dry we can blind each other with brightness, now you have the orange top

Love that dress Grumpy.

I go away for 4 days and you're on p6 of a new thread?? Had an absolutely amazing time in Marrakech. Packed far too many clothes and many came back unworn. I definitely didn't need day and evening outfits-it's not a city you need to dress up for. I also wish I'd had more room in my case to bring more goodies back. I have never seem sooo many shoes/sandals and bags although it's easy to get carried away in the sun and buy 2 pairs of sandals. I keep gazing lovingly at them wondering when I'll be able to wear them .

Welcome back QueenC and another wave for grumpy
Do any of you download Stylist magazine? Really interesting article about hormones and shopping habits......
Santa I think I've bought them! The LKB khaki heels. I'll be lucky to wear them 4 times a year but it was love at first sight.
