Get your waterproofs on. Shop and take DS and dog for a run, hopefully they'll get worn out then you can have peaceful afternoon.
Some v tempting sandals in. Grazia.

Morning all,

Oooo Santa, gorgeous shoes. Love the colour of the rockstuds.
Lovely bag Amber
Dry have a fab weekend - hope the weather is ok. Its throwing it down here and looks set for the day.
Cant remember who linked the GAP dress for Dry but it looks a perfect holiday dress so may order.
Queen sorry you had such a bad day with the dc's. My 3 ds's used to argue and bicker ALL THE TIME and it is so wearing. I used to threaten to send them to Mrs Trunchbull Grin.

Drywhiteplease · 24/05/2014 09:41

No pm yet Novice

shopafrolic · 24/05/2014 09:43

LOVE this kaftan but viscose will be sweaty non?

Fedupnagging · 24/05/2014 09:56

Oui, will be tres sweaty although very lovely. Are you feeling any better Shop?

Am wondering what you said Novice to get a deletion on a style and beauty thread?

Mascara, am currently using one from Sephora - I bought several back from New York last October. It is currently my favourite cheap mascara. Tbh, I dont really notice any difference between low end /high end mascaras.

Fedupnagging · 24/05/2014 10:11

This is a really nice dress but is viscose.
A great holiday dress

I have been trying harem pants these and these and similar in Next. They feel lovely to wear but oh my, they are so unflattering on me. Think this is a fashion trend I will have to miss.

Turquoiseblue · 24/05/2014 10:29

Wet and a bit chilly here too. Wearing me and em long sleeve moss maxi dress with leopard print superga and stone coloured biker jacket.
Oh and an old kooples print scarf.
Kooples do lovely scarves ........ Have my eye on another for the sales.
Loving superga s - dh was admiring them too. Why haven't I discovered them before.

LinusDKD · 24/05/2014 11:47

My Goldsigns arrived today. When I first saw them I thought I'd never be able to do them up but they fit nicely. Have to have a proper try on later.

Can I have a pm too novice

Lovely weather here but they've predicted rain so it won't last.

dry sleep what excercises can you recommend to get rid of love handles and a mummy tummy and to tone up my upper arms?

Decameron · 24/05/2014 11:47

I don't find viscose makes me sweaty but I avoid it because it shrinks.

Stokey, are you still looking for a bag? I got a Harvey Nicks code for 25% off (TIME2SHOP). Lots of nice bags including Marc by Marc Jacobs.

LinusDKD · 24/05/2014 11:49

Oh and shop I bought that hand cream you recommended. [sheep]

MarshaBrady · 24/05/2014 12:38

Linus I really like this dungaree look.

It is cold and I have no idea what to wear tonight. Darn! All I know is that taxis will feature.

MarshaBrady · 24/05/2014 12:38

I couldn't do it, as it would look all wrong on me, but love it for someone who can.

MarshaBrady · 24/05/2014 12:39

ps Novice I didn't get your pm, so I'm not ignoring it if you did send it.

Stokey · 24/05/2014 14:52

Thanks Decam very tempted by the black Natasha.

Very hungover today and managed to drunkenly invite nursery mums over for a BBQ tomorrow so now have to go the shop for supplies. White wine is a dangerous thing!

Decameron · 24/05/2014 15:18

Ha, wine sure is! I think they are great bags.

Annianni · 24/05/2014 15:33

Hello strangers...

Slightly delurking to say thanks to Shop for 2 fabulous scarves Flowers
I love the postcard too.

How are you getting on Dry, are you ready for series 3 yet?

I've been semi-lurking due to not really having anything fashion related to report, and also we're in the middle of major demolition building work.
There's brick dust everywhere and dh keeps talking about 3 by 2's and lintels so boring

shopafrolic · 24/05/2014 15:48

Yay! Anni!!! . Glad you like them xx
Linus tell me what you think of the hand cream - I swear my hands have never looked so good - now I just need to find the cheapest place to buy it as I only have a tester size tube.
Hideous weather. Parents stayed for an impromptu lunch and now I am ironing. And we all know how bored I have to be to iron FGS!!
Amber shorts have arrived but they are big on me. Not sure whether to keep though as I am such a low weight ATM and it won't stay off I'm sure. No way am I a size 8! Will have another try on tomorrow....

Annianni · 24/05/2014 15:55

What is this handcream of wonder you mentioned?

Keep the shorts Shop, I love slouchy jean shorts photo please

Drywhiteplease · 24/05/2014 16:01

linus I'm no expert but planks are hard but effective for stomach and arm toning ESP if you go up and down there must be a technical term sleep is the expert though! I'm sure she'll advise you better.

shopafrolic · 24/05/2014 16:47

L'Occitane Brightening Hand Care Anni - it's on my in my beauty bag Pin board (can't link from phone). It's genuinely brill. I am super impressed.....

Turq I meant to say earlier I like the sound of your outfit. Reminds me that I need to wear my maxi more... perhaps for lunch with friends tomorrow Hmm

OP posts:
MarshaBrady · 24/05/2014 18:52

Nothing better than jumping in a taxi and leaving the dh to do bedtime, am out!

libertychick · 24/05/2014 19:36

Yay Marsha have fun! What are you wearing?

On hols, the lodge is in a really peaceful place right on the side of a lake, ducks and swans all around. DD just asked if she could go to bed so now chilling out with MN and a glass of red. Absolutely no traffic noise...

Love the sound of your outfit Turq. I'm hoping to get a maxi in the sales.

Shop, Linus I tried the Jimmies on again this morning and really love them! I think I had a bit of period bloat going on yesterday. They felt fine today and are really flattering. Thanks again.

Good to see you Anni. Hope all is well. Shop's postcards are very cool!

shopafrolic · 24/05/2014 19:39

Liberty sounds perfect, you sound v chilled already - good stuff. I love my postcards too! It was rude not to buy them..... :)
Have fun Marsha - have a few for me. DH is dying of man flu (or I may kill him first)
