I just love the chanel knickers fedup think I've found my next tattoo Grin

shopafrolic · 13/05/2014 21:47

I've got two Dry. A small Chinese symbol just above my right hip, and the M sign for Scorpio (again small) on my back.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 13/05/2014 22:33

I can admire tattoos on others, but the thought of anything permanent brings me out in hives issues - I'm allergic to permanence in any form.

Decam you made me smile telling my Pollyanna is still going!

AmberNectarine · 14/05/2014 07:10

I've got five tattoos - nobody ever believes me!

Turquoiseblue · 14/05/2014 07:19

Link doesn't show your purchase Dry. Thanks for the heads up on the 30% discount. Will have a good look after dog walk.

Have just booked tickets for the Alexander McQueen exhibition - anyone else going?

Drywhiteplease · 14/05/2014 08:04

try again .....I love heels! skyscrapers! but for work need flats, think these would go with a lot and look great with jeans on the w/e

Nice Dry
Lovely and sunny here, not sure how warm it is but am braving this Ganni dress today with Ash Spirals in tan. I have a feeling I may be getting changed once I head out!
Marsha 22 degrees on Sat so outside might be good. Santa if you know of anywhere round your way with outdoor seating would you be kind enough to PM me? Liberty hope you can sneak out.
Countdown to new car is on! Have. A lovely day Voguettes.

Decameron · 14/05/2014 08:26

Topaz how could you forget Leggs?! We should have a reunion in the Pav, are you on for it, Turquoise? Now that would make me feel old.Grin

Thanks Soyo, you have cracked the links! White Co don't last very well for me, either I or my washing machine are hard on clothes. I like some American Vintage tee shirts (anyone know about their sizing??) but surely My-Wardrobe and Matches sales will start in the next week so will hang on now.

Blair, I think you mentioned Gigis, I have a few pairs and they are very comfy straight away.

Lovely shoes, Dry.

LinusDKD · 14/05/2014 09:14

Lovely shoes dry!

marsha the Asos pencil skirts have finally arrived. They are a bit longer than last year's but the fabric is still nice and thick and doesn 't show any lumps and bumps apart from my mummy tummy but I cover that anyway

You will have to wear a thong or non vpl underwear because my lace knickers did show.

The yellow is not as acid as I would have liked but is still nice so I'll play around a bit later with different coloured tees to see what looks nice.

MarshaBrady · 14/05/2014 09:46

Thanks Linus will have a look later today.

I have a full day at the client on Monday 9-6, it's rare but I have had to book extra day at nursery (Sod's law), a nanny to pick up ds and dh to leave early to do nursery pick up. That's three things to replace me! Obvs if I actually got a job it would be more streamlined. Still, it feels crazy.

MarshaBrady · 14/05/2014 09:48

Decam I think they are quite roomy will have a look at my AV tees.

Shop nice weather! What about that other place we nearly went to but couldn't sit outside

Stokey · 14/05/2014 09:59

Dry have you watched Breaking Bad? Maybe you can channel Marie - the Queen of purple interiors
Oh and liking the BR shoes

Welcome SoyYo - I bought a Muubaa biker in the sales earlier this year and love it. I also like some Desigual stuff after living in Spain in the early noughties but prefer the bits that stick to two or three colours rather than overly patterned. Think it gets a bit of unfair stick on here

Decameron · 14/05/2014 11:12

Thanks, Marsha, if you could check the AV sizing that would be great. However, I found the perfect white drapey long sleeve top this morning .... in my wardrobe! Wearing it now with Gap grey jeans which are nice for summer. The white were completely see through.

Exciting about the car, Shop.

Did anyone else get the My-Wardrobe sales preview? Would pass it on but I think it is linked to your account. I ordered this silk shirt which looks a bit dull but is lovely on, I've been waiting for it to go on sale for ages.

I am Breaking Bad crazy at the moment, Stokey, I don't know what I'll do when I get to the end!

MarshaBrady · 14/05/2014 11:43

Decam I remember now the last one left was an M. So it is very roomy at the bottom, I think AV have a tendency to flare out a bit. I think an S or M would be ok?

Gorgeous Kors blouse.

shopafrolic · 14/05/2014 12:03

Hi Decam I wear a large in AV to fit my bust, but they flare out a lot at the bottom. I prefer my J Crew purchases TBH.
Took DS for a haircut this morning. First time ever with no tears! Amazing.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 14/05/2014 12:51

I got the sales preview Decam, I was surprised as it was one week later last year (yep, am so sad I tried to work out when it would be). Not sure if I'll get anything yet, need to consult my spreadsheet Grin That blouse is lovely.

I also got a 20% off asos code, again linked to account.

In Breaking Bad, each character always wears a particular colour. Marie is purple, Skylar blue, Jesse red and black, and Walt is green (at the start Wink). Once you notice this you can't stop!

I would have loved to have come along on Saturday but have plans now :(, hope those of you who are meeting up have fun.

shopafrolic · 14/05/2014 12:58

My J Brand Croft replacements have arrived and are the perfect fit. No customs charges so I got them for £50! Beyond chuffed.

Stokey · 14/05/2014 14:02

Was someone looking for a yellow skirt?

Just saw three in Cos - a mini, a knee-length and a midi that reminded me of Sandy in Grease

Secretsquirrel13 · 14/05/2014 14:02

Shop really pleased they're perfect, measurements please when you get chance as I'm such a sheep I'm going to order some too.
Blair- we've watched all of BB now and I had never noticed it! Obviously not concentrating enough.
Decam I like that navy shirt, what wS the reduction?
I am on the hunt for some pale jeans for summer too. Absolutely must try on in person though due to the potential unflattering nature of them.

QueenCadbury · 14/05/2014 14:25

Hurrah!! Dd thinks I look like kate moss here Grin

Decameron · 14/05/2014 14:43

I would be very pleased with that compliment too, QueenC! Kate Moss looks wonderful in those photos.

SecretSquirrel, it's 40% off. Blair, I checked my emails from them last night and assumed the sale would be end of next week too.

I always get caught for customs, lucky you, Shop.

I tried to eBay the first pair of Gap leggings I bought which are now too big, no one bought them, took them into Gap today and explained they stretched so much I couldn't wear them, and they gave me a credit note, nice of them as it was my own fault really as bought them too big. So got a clutch and cute little shorts for my DDs.

Decameron · 14/05/2014 14:44

Thanks Shop, I think I'll pass on the AV tee shirts and wait for the next item on my sale list to come up!
