Oh, And was completely underwhelmed by KM collection. Ugh.

OneLittleLady · 30/04/2014 20:48

I didn't fancy any of the KM collection either. Besides, I usually find topshop is not cut for busty ladies anyway and the KM stuff is usually even smaller so not much good for me really

Drywhiteplease · 30/04/2014 20:56

ujj I need to learn that, or maybe not, thinking about food ironically gets me through my exercise. Infact thinking about anything other than the torture gets me through Wink

Is anyone else having a skirt/leg conundrum in this weather? Not warm enough for bare legs, too warm for opaques Hmm

I am Dry I also hate leggings as I also feel dumpy in them so they are out except for wearing in the house.

QueenCadbury · 30/04/2014 21:06

Evening all.
dry I think they any metallic leather can scratch. That's what's always put me off silver shoes/bags. And I had a metallic leather belt which scratched too. I love patent though and have an old cheap pair of next ballet flats that haven't peeled yet.

ujj would be great to meet you and see some pics of your collection?

Sleepwhenidie · 30/04/2014 21:21

Hello from the most bizarre event I think I've ever been to, the Battersea Power Station party thang...dress code "party casual/festival chic", - no heels Shock. Seems to be 2,500 of Londons wealthiest (us excluded from that Wink)..looking around I suspect these people spend more time on yachts than at festivals-Coachella it ain't! Tom Odell is playing to a bunch of blokes with combovers, in expensive shoes and blazers with pocket hankies (clearly baffled as to who the fuck TO is Grin. TO seems to be dying inside...some great handbag action from the trophy wives Envy however - heels instruction is being blatantly ignored - except by me . Maybe it will liven up when Elton comes on!

MarshaBrady · 30/04/2014 21:37

Oh that sounds fab Sleep. quick take a pic

I don't know who TO is however

Grin
BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 30/04/2014 21:43

Wow Sleep sounds fun! Great people watching!

I never remember to consider things like "will it scratch?"/crease/dry clean only etc when I buy stuff... I'm getting better though, as it obviously matters.

Dry yep I seem to alternate at the moment, today was defo a nude stocking day though (my in-between choice for work) But it's meant to be getting really cold at the weekend again!

Your friend's dress sounds lovely One and so does wedding planning :)

Drywhiteplease · 30/04/2014 21:43

Sleep why no heels? Is there a v expensive wooden floor? Handbag info? What are you wearing? Bet you do festival chic very well and are making the trophy wife's v jealous.
I went to a no heels wedding once, bloody disaster, we were given hideous plastic heel covers.....

Tom Odell is sweet???I saw him on tv singing with a v famous female singer, so famous I forget who she was he seemed out of his league but really wasn't at all. V impressive young man. Poor thing. Go and give him some love Sleep

OneLittleLady · 30/04/2014 21:50

Sounds great sleep I go to gigs and stuff and geek out over the equipment and sound stages Blush

In other news, I've just bought a vintage silver and amber ring and some blue and mint green kitten heel irregular choice shoes Grin

Sleepwhenidie · 30/04/2014 21:58

That's Elton (honest)...pic rubbish even though there's only 50 people in front of me! I am wearing pistols, Zara beaded mini, t shirt, zadig furry coat. (Thank god)....and fake tan on legs Wink

MNV vol 38!!!!!!
MarshaBrady · 30/04/2014 22:04

Oh I love that pic, look at his little face Grin. Great outfit Sleep.

Drywhiteplease · 30/04/2014 22:08

I can see him! Great outfit, you're so cool Sleep

Sleepwhenidie · 30/04/2014 22:10

Pretty cool being inside the power station though...

I'm sure I just walked past Ollie Lock Confused

MNV vol 38!!!!!!
OneLittleLady · 30/04/2014 22:13

teeny tiny Elton!

Ujjayi · 30/04/2014 22:27

sleep - your outfit sounds fantastic. The crowd, not so much. Very jealous of missing out on live TO. Actually I would like to see Elton too. And be able to rock a beaded Zara mini.

You lose points for Ollie Lock though Grin

BTW, Marsha - are you watching the new MIC season? I cannot stop shaking my head at Alex's atrocious behaviour towards poor Binky...

Sleepwhenidie · 30/04/2014 22:35

Dry tonight, in this crowd, yes, yes I am Grin

MarshaBrady · 30/04/2014 22:37

Ujj Yes definitely! Poor Binks, I said just go, just go too. He was so hopeless in the end. Some good fashion in there too.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 30/04/2014 22:38

Dry I hope I do meet you at RA. The race entries are just starting to happen so DH and I will be perusing the horse list and figuring out what we may be running and which days we'll be there. We have enclosure badges for all days and MIL is coming over for the whole of Ascot week so our plans can be fairly fluid. I really need to catch up on highly lacking sleep before then - it's a hard week swiftly followed by horse sales in Ireland, the July festival at Newmarket, a friend's wedding, Glorious Goodwood etc etc. I'm exhausted already and the season's only just beginning!

libertychick · 30/04/2014 23:03

Good to have you here again Ujj and YY come to the MU.

Sounds like an interesting night Sleep! Great outfit.

Asos Brady boyfriend jeans arrived today. I'm undecided. I'm struggling to work out if they suit me or not. I am always late to trends and I've realised that it partly because when something is new all images of the look are on models and obviously things don't look like that on me!! So it's like I need to see it on lots of normal people before I can decide if it's a look that works on my type of body shape or not. But my word, they are comfortable! They could be keepers for that reason alone, much better for summer than skinnies.

Fedup my sulky, annoyed, post row shopping sessions are rarely successful so I suspect a lot will go back - I'll be happy if one top works out.

I'm ok thanks Marsha, just one of those stupid 'how the hell did that start' rows. We haven't made up yet though as I was at work v early and have spent all evening working and catching up with an old friend on the phone and now DH has gone to bed.

LinusDKD · 01/05/2014 08:28

liberty I like those boyfriends a lot. I live in my second pair of Jimmies and the Asos ones look very similar.

sleep sounds like you had a great night. Sooo funny to see Elton's teeny tiny head.

MarshaBrady · 01/05/2014 08:39

Me too.

BrandyAlexander · 01/05/2014 09:30

Sleep your night sounds fab!

Weather is horrible today! Am wearing grey pinstripe Ann Taylor trouser suit with pink short sleeve cashmere top from the cashmere company. Both are about 8 years old and the top was a present from dsis in the year she did an all pink theme for all my Xmas presents Smile. Accessories are Hermes diamond watch with pink straps, pink-ish PS13 handbag, reddish Elizabeth Cole Swarovski bracelet and RB shoe boots. Matchy matchy much?!Grin

Thanks to Dry for cheering me up last nightThanks I am still chuckling over "do you know what resting means....?"
