Hello all.

Been lurking for a few days due to a combination of things - horrendous hangover, PMT, a cold and feeling very uninspired fashion wise. Didn't want to bring down the thread with feeling sorry for myself but am trying to give myself a kick up the bum about it all.

QueenC I hope you are OK. It always seems worse when something sad happens after you've been feeling extra good about yourself, (makes me feel like I'm being selfish or something), but be kind to yourself.

grumpy I love the swimsuit, glad you've bought it! I can see it with a big sunhat, big black sunglasses and a big cocktail in hand Grin

Turq I agree with Stokey, watch Breaking Bad, getting to the end is so satisfying. Then watch GoT!

Hope everyone is doing ok and had a lovely Easter weekend. :)

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 23/04/2014 13:58

Oh cross post QueenC I am so sorry to hear that. Thanks

OneLittleLady · 23/04/2014 14:05

Oh no, that's so sad queenC Sad cancer is just the worst, it really is Sad Thanks be kind to yourself

Stokey · 23/04/2014 14:19

Sorry to hear about your friend QueenC heartbreaking to think of children losing their mother, felt very sad about Peaches for the same reason.

Liberty can you tell me about the Boden Chelsea trousers? Was the sizing accurate? They are on offer today so was thinking may buy, although the 5 week wait is a bit off-putting.

Drywhiteplease · 23/04/2014 16:19

QC cancer is a merciless bitch. That's heart breaking news.

these are cute

Sorry QueenC - poor kids. Sad

Just been to try the white Reiss dress and it looked crap on me...so back to the drawing board Hmm - I hate shopping for clothes like this (needing something for an occasion rather than actually wanting/desiring something in particular). Any suggestions, especially if it's something I could wear for a night for drinks or something would be v welcome!

One, still waiting for news?

to Anni, hello stranger Smile

Sleepwhenidie · 23/04/2014 16:45

Oh and I loved the swimsuit Grumpy - looks very you.

OneLittleLady · 23/04/2014 16:46

Yeah, still waiting Sleep could be weeks yet so trying to stay calm about it

Drywhiteplease · 23/04/2014 17:37

I love this Sleep . Need to prep dinner but will browse for dresses for a change for you later.x

Sleep I agree about "having" to buy something which is why I'm recycling for ascot. I love your asymmetric Acne dress, not really a wedding guest dress, but certainly good for the launch was it a launch or lunchConfused

Sleepwhenidie · 23/04/2014 18:05

It's a launch - at and of Battersea Power Station...and Elton John is playing Confused, dress code me that Grin

Sleepwhenidie · 23/04/2014 18:10

Oh that's lovely Dry, will go and try it. Also cheaper than the Reiss one - a very good thing Wink

shopafrolic · 23/04/2014 18:22

Sequins Sleep. Big hair and sequins. Grin
QueenC so sorry. Poor kids :(

Drywhiteplease · 23/04/2014 18:32

Glad you like it Sleep thought it was v you.
I saw Elton a couple of years ago, I wore a pack a mac that's done it, I'm going to be expelled, I said PACK a MAC on MNV, it pissed down....not a good fashion moment . Infact I wore the same garment, with the string round my face tightly drawn in, when I went o watch TT reunion concert at man City ground 1996.... And THE SHAME you can see me in the front row on the official DVD Shock...nearly passed out when I caught sight of myself. Dcs think it's hilarious to show guests Blush. Don't have a good track record at outdoor gigs....wait till I go to One Direction indoors I'll show em! Grin ........oh no, I think it's a stadium tour......bloody paka mac again them Grin needless to say I have never been to a festival my idea of mud covered hell . Picnic moi?!!!! Shock

QueenC, so sorry about your friend. The poor kids. Maybe you could buy that Monsoon dress again in the summer sale.

Never heard green was unlucky at a wedding and have been to many Irish weddings, being Irish. Your dress sounds cool, Anni, mine was pale grey with silver, keeping it for the DDs, I love it still!

Sleep, a friend is considering this dress which I think is really cool.

The Shopbop Equipment cashmere was a great buy, have worn it twice already. Also got another pair of Gap jeggings, H&M denim shorts for summer and will wear with this, which was a bargain at £25 (code is EASTERSTYLE25, think it still works). Tried this parka on in Comptoir today and going to go back and buy it next week when some refunds hit my card!

Hope you are feeling better now and your holiday is going well, Linus.

Decameron · 23/04/2014 19:14

Also I won't be using my Matches code if anyone wants it. Hanging on for the sale now.

Drywhiteplease · 23/04/2014 19:48
