Hi all.

Shop, hope you start to feel better soon. Would love to meet up but DH is working today and I think will be most weekends until end of May when we are moving so I will be packing and minding children for the next month. Wine gets me through!

Stokey, that sucks. Longchamp should have given you a refund or exchange, I think I'm on my fifth or sixth Le Pliage and they do always go at the corners but I get a year out of it first.

Lovely dress, Sleep, have fun today and belated congratulations. I like those jeans, I have my eye on a grey J Brand leopard print pair.

One, very well done!

Nice shoes, Liberty.

Haven't been buying too much recently, a few basics in Gap and the skinny jeans in grey and white, and some Hush t shirts which are discounted at the moment. I am waiting for the sales now.

I'm also wearing Gap skinnies, Shop, Breton and ballet flats. Off to the playground (big sigh).

Decameron · 03/05/2014 11:49

I can also suggest some areas if you can say where he'll be working, One.

LinusDKD · 03/05/2014 12:40

sleep I think those python skinnies could work if you style them very simply. Maybe with a white silk shirt for a more classic look?

I am a vision in double denim today Grin

Purely by accident as I was planning on wearing my J Crew chambray shirt with my white Baxters but as the weather is so awefull and with two messy DC I chickened out at the last minute.

So I wore the shirt with my TS Leigh skinnies and even though both are a dark wash, I think it works.

LinusDKD · 03/05/2014 12:41

Awful

OneLittleLady · 03/05/2014 15:53

dps office is just off oxford street,tottenham court station is closest,then oxford circus.he doesnt mind a bit of a commute though as obviously,cheaper is better to start with so between us we can save ready for when I move down there.hes 95%, certain hes going to take the job,just needs to know the finer details

libertychick · 03/05/2014 17:03

Those snakeskin skinnies are fantastic Sleep - get them! I really don't know what I was thinking with the fugly sandals and Grin at Shop being relieved.

Got a bit drunk last night - DH and I polished off 2 bottles of red and a bottle of prosecco while dancing round the lounge to Absolute 90's saddos Was fun though.

No BH plans - need to get stuck into my studies and will be working on Monday as I am really busy at work.

libertychick · 03/05/2014 17:05

Decam what size do you go for in Hush T's? I usually go Medium so never know which way to go on the S/M v's M/L sizing.

libertychick · 03/05/2014 17:09

Enjoy your wedding today Sleep.
Hope Justa and Shop are feeling a bit better.
QueenC sympathy on your fringe - go get it sorted asap otherwise you may be tempted to chop more and that is a road you should not go down!
Great news on the Maje dress Grumpy. How was your day in London?

Decameron · 03/05/2014 17:30

I got S/M, Liberty, got these www.hush-uk.com/basics/short-sleeved_tops/cotton_crew_tee_white.htm in grey and white, they are a good fit.

shopafrolic · 03/05/2014 18:17

Waves to all - lovely day outdoors today - I always feel better when the sun shines. Unfortunately tummy still not better Hmm
We went to the garden centre this morning so I have had a happy afternoon planting everything we bought. Plans cancelled for tomorrow, I called her yesterday as everyone suggested, she was fab and we've rescheduled for 4 weeks time. If I'm not better by then I'll be asking DH to shoot me!

libertychick · 03/05/2014 18:27

Thanks Decam. That was the one I was looking at. Will order in S/M then.
Sounds like a good day Shop. I haven't a clue about gardening - leave all that to DH. Sorry to hear you are not better. Flowers for you.

Fedupnagging · 03/05/2014 18:52

Sorry you are still not better Shop - you have been ill for a while now so you must be rather fed up.

Justa hope you are feeling better.

Hope you are having lovely days Dry and Sleep. Love the colour of your dress.

Popped into M&S for breakfast and had a quick look for the lovely shoes Liberty ordered. Glad you returned the fuglies Liberty As usual, it was very uninspiring although
these in grey were lovely. The picture doesn't do them justice. However, I couldn't find a mirror anywhere nor a member of staff to ask so put them back on the shelf and stalked off.

Am considering getting some hasbeens, but have seen similar in TS for a fraction of the price. Will link in separate post as keep losing links.

Fedupnagging · 03/05/2014 18:55

These or
these?

Decameron · 03/05/2014 19:49

The first ones, Fedup, as they have the same name as me! I like those M&S shoes too.

MarshaBrady · 03/05/2014 20:46

I really like both but am plumping for Topshop Fedup.

OneLittleLady · 03/05/2014 21:11

Bought this belt yesterday (if the picture loads!)

MNV vol 38!!!!!!
Fedupnagging · 03/05/2014 22:49

One vote each then.

We have similar names Dec Grin although much prefer yours to mine.

Nice belt One.

Wine bottle empty so off to bed!

Drywhiteplease · 03/05/2014 23:40

Good one Dry. London is fab. Great to see your list.

LinusDKD · 04/05/2014 08:20

Sounds like you are having a great time dry!

Very Envy

marsha I saw this and thought of you.

It is £££ but you could dress it down or up for work.

BrandyAlexander · 04/05/2014 08:43

Morning all! Gorgeous looking day.

Yesterday was fab! We attended a family party so I got to spend all day lots of my family. Always the best days of the year to have my mum and all my siblings and nieces together.Smile I ended up wearing 3 tops yesterday. I started off wearing this j crew bejewelled tee with blue j crew matchstick jeans and white Levi denim jacket. Then early afternoon decided it was cold so was mooching around the house and garden wearing this James Perse sweater instead of the jacket. Then when we went out to the family party (we always make an effort in our family even if it's just us!), I decided that was too casual but I was still cold (a garden party) so changed to a cream Karen Millen boat neck sweater that db got me for Christmas. Nutty!

Today we have a got a fantastic treat for the dcs, taking them to the theatre. It's still quite chilly so hopefully I can just pick one outfit!

LinusDKD · 04/05/2014 08:43

Just ordered these for myself.

I have been wanting them for ages as I love the colour but Oasis didn't deliver to where I live. But now Asos sell them, yay!

I just hope they suit me as I usually don't go for a pointed toe because a rounded toe looks better on me.

I also saw some gorgeous Tod's in that colour but at 10 times the price so I'll try these first. Wink

Secretsquirrel13 · 04/05/2014 09:04

Nice Linus,I like them. Glad you could get them at last.
I didn't get to Gap Marsha had to race off to dc school due to one of them needing swimming kit I had forgotten.
Shop it was the right thing to cancel you will enjoy it more when you are better.
We are having a barbecue later on, it's not quite warm enough but am determined to look springlike with hidden thermal top underneath!

MarshaBrady · 04/05/2014 09:05

Linus I love the t! Have put it on list for sales time. Great news on the flats. Would love to know what you think of them, am tempted.

Novice great outfit, have fun today.

Have a great day planned - long breakfast to lunch. Rag&Bone skinnies, raspberry Filippa I t, AV charcoal top, Yohji military jacket and black wedges.

Beautiful weather too, bliss.

MarshaBrady · 04/05/2014 09:08

Secret me either, I don't think I'll have time today.
