Thanks for the shirt link liberty, I really like it and have pinned. :) Could do with a Warehouse code, I always seem to find things I like from there.

Sleep both the Maje things are lovely, shame about the cut. It's the same at Zara I find, it's mostly not for any sort of curves. Glad both the dresses are nice, so either way you'll feel good.

justa I don't think bf jeans will ever become as ubiquitous as skinnies are atm. They are definitely harder to style, I don't really see people wearing them either. They are great for summer though - I hope the longer ones are better for you.

No s&b news but I wanted to tell you that I'm pissed Wine Grin.....

QueenCadbury · 26/04/2014 08:23

Ha ha so pissed that I don't even remember writing that last night Grin

liberty I did comment on your sandals I think. I like them.
sleep that red lace maje top is gorgeous

I haven't seen bf jeans irl either really. It's all pretty much fatface/white stuff/Boden round here though.

Turquoiseblue · 26/04/2014 08:40

Morning QueenC, hope you re feeling ok.
Liberty- I don't like fugly sandals, prefer something a bit neater but I see the comfort factor though. Which probably means I ll
Invest as the go out of fashionGrin
Am channeling this look today - but in black and white with plum mini gracie for arm candy.
Blair - hush have some nice relaxed for trousers I ve been watching - hope to nab in their sale. Worth a look maybe.
Shop hope you re feeling better
Novice Envy at the bling.
Justa, I ve not seen a lot of fb jeans either. I like them for casual day wear, not sure I could pull off the evening look - even though I love the distressed bf with heels combos.
Sleep love the maje dress. However I ve found when I try on their dresses that the waist sits on my ribcage - not a look I like! Have a few of their tops that are still serving me well though.

The cake is a success, I think. Well, you can tell it's a creeper anyway! Colours might be a bit off but it'll pass Grin

Drywhiteplease · 26/04/2014 08:52

Turq great outfit....what are you going to do in it today? Surely not the Sainsburys run Grin

I'm the only one wearing boyf jeans round here in the NW.
I see lots of skinnys and dodgy leggings

Dsd (16) and her friends are still wearing skinnys and converse.

How's your head Queenc?

I'm sat with a hot water with lemon, trying to summon up the energy to do 10 miles on the bike, then a few on the treadmill [virtuous]

I like your sandals Liberty wear them with socks please

Annianni · 26/04/2014 08:58

Love both dresses Sleep. Can you not keep both?

Buy the Rockstuds next week Novice.

Who has the Gap khaki skinny pant things?
Oh dear god, I couldn't even get them up my legs!
I had a flashback to the Frame skinnys :o

QueenCadbury · 26/04/2014 09:25

My head is not good Grin

shopafrolic · 26/04/2014 09:41

Morning all. Apologies for crap posts recently and general lack of involvement. I am still feeling so lousy it's untrue. Will come back to the thread once better.
Hope everyone is good. Fry up for you QueenC

MarshaBrady · 26/04/2014 09:46

shopafrolic · 26/04/2014 09:57

Stomach bug that I've not recovered from cos of the meds I'm taking. Prescribed some drugs and sent some samples for tests. Go back in a week if no better. :(

Hope you feel better soon shop.

Great outfit dry. I've finally dragged myself off the sofa and showered but am wearing sweat pants and tee. Will put proper clothes on when I go out.

QueenCadbury · 26/04/2014 11:16

Mango has 30% off today. For those of you that have recently bought jackets but not worn them you could reorder at a lower cost and send the others back?

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 26/04/2014 12:17

Sleep where did you try on that Maje dress? I am obsessing over it, but the website a) doesn't deliver to the UK and b) Size 1 seems to be sold out. I am usually a size 8 (26 waist, 34 bust) - would you say they came up small enough for me to get away with a size 2? I could have it sent to DSIL in Ireland. I do love it an enormous amount.

Sleepwhenidie · 26/04/2014 12:28

I tried it in Selfridges Grumpy it really is gorgeous. Hard to say about sizes - I am 36" bust and 3 was really too tight. Have you looked at Selfridges website or maybe call the concession and see if they could post it and accept returns?

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 26/04/2014 13:07

Thanks for that QueenC, I was looking at some Mango stuff last night! I had a bad experience with them last year (rubbish quality, paying for delivery and returns) but have worked out if I spend £43 at full price I can get free delivery with the 30% off. Will report back. Hope your hangover is getting better!

Thanks turq as well, will check out hush :) Love the lace pencil skirt outfit.

Have a good day Dry and get lots of rest Shop

No plans here until tomorrow, need to do some house and garden stuff though.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 26/04/2014 13:18

Thanks sleep. They don't have it on the selfridges website, but I might try calling.

maradesbois · 26/04/2014 14:47

Hello all,

shop sorry you're still feeling rubbish, hope the doc can get you sorted out soon.

dry good outfit. I am wearing blue ts skinnies with bright yellow silk sleeveless shirt and navy gigis accessorised with navy & yellow goyard St. Louis tote. Bit matchy but am liking it. Enjoy tonight.

anni had same problem with this years gap skinny khakis. Got a red pair last year which are slightly different but the size 12 is perfect whereas could barely fasten the 12 in the current ones. Think gap sizes vary hugely.

queenc hope your head is better, take it easy!

stokey think it was you who asked me about moving to London a while ago? Dh starting new job there in summer. Going to rent somewhere tiny but central for a few months while we house hunt but not sure where yet. Might well end up being out of town to have more space. Also need to factor in schools, prepared to pay private but it still all seems such a minefield. Really not looking forward to it all apart from chance to redecorate somewhere new.

Enjoy the weekend everyone.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 26/04/2014 14:48

Sucky customer service.

Selfridges have it, but can't sell it via the phone, so she gave me the number of a Maje store and they're the same - abruptly told 'no. We can't do that'.

Was considering going to London on Tues, but have brought it forward to tomorrow so I'll (hopefully) get it in person.

Faff-orama.

Turquoiseblue · 26/04/2014 15:27

Hope you get your dress Grumpy

Meeting girlfriends now dry, spot of lunch and shopping Smile - enjoy tonight
Mara nice outfit- love
Shop - did the gp suggest anything like probiotics? Hope you re better soon.
