MN Vogue - volume 39

[shopafrolic]

Join us for fun, frivolous and friendly fashion chat. Continuing on from here

Marsha I'll definitely be heading for London but if I wake up tomorrow feeling horrific I'll text you. I'm fine now I'm up and about but wouldn't risk giving you a cold if it doesn't clear up.... x

Ok cool. I've got the hair app and got to finally do the make up shop, two things that I tend to put off but I've got to do. Text in the morn is fine.

Hi everyone, homeworking today with lots of TC's but easier to keep an eye on your chats so will be checking in from time to time.
Tx for advice on returning to outnet...yep the colour does me no favours and I am sure I will pick up another Muubaa sometime soon.
Shame though as I have a global budget meeting in Paris first week in June...and you have no idea how chic my Fr colleagues are! (co I work for is French).
I wanted it for the "business casual" dress days, 2 are "business formal" which i can do no problem at all.
But the "bus casual" days are more tricky to get the right. So my search continues. Rest of June I am again in more meetings all over Europe and out most weeks Mon-Thurs and it is too crazy a sched to even think about online shopping, know I will be pooped and just wanted it all done before it starts.

If you spot anything up to 250 (less would be better) like the taupe Muubaa but in a chocolate brown, black, even a bright blue would work let me know.
Toodle pip x

SoYo I used to work for Total and had frequent meetings in La Defense so I can sympathise but good to send back. Job sounds exciting......Will keep my eyes peeled.

Morning all. What a gorgeous day! Definitely going to be bbq'ing this weekend.

SoyYo There are MuuBaa on brandalley today, I haven't looked though.

Your ring sounds lovely novice.

Marsha I am wearing navy Me & Em dress today with See by Chloe peep toe boots. No Balenciaga city a la novice though

Hush harems arrived yesterday and are lovely, so thanks Secret for helping me decide.

Sexy boots Blair :)

Shop that is so very kind of you .
Yes that is the right colour and style.
Unfortunately I am a 14 but with Muubaa due to large norkage I need to go up to a 16, it means it is looser round the waist but I can do the zip up without squashing the girls.
Yes my job is manic but fun too! I am having a relatively quiet May before the madness kicks off again, and at least I have the flexibility to homework when I am not on the travelling rounds.
Cheers for the link though.

Blair those SbyC boots are fabulous. And the dress, bet you look hot! (Not temp the other one)

SoyYo your job sounds exciting, will keep an eye out too.

Blair Thanks for brandalley tip too. I am there right now , have half hour before next TC to browse.

Could this work for "business casual" with linen or black trousers or is it too casual?

or even this in light grey or brown might be fun for the summer.
I can do size 14 in Muuba btw, just boobs get a little squashed...

Agree sizing come up small...... Happy hunting

Meant to say Marsha i love make up shopping :)

Ooh that black one's lovely SoyYo and a great price! I think it looks quite smart, as it doesn't have much hardware. The only thing with BA is I think they can take a few weeks to deliver? I have never ordered from them.

The second yoox link looks similar to the one I have but mine is long line with a belt that I don't use.

Thanks for boot comments, they were a special buy when I qualified a couple of years ago and I love them so much

Hello all,

Haven't posted for a while as still on extended hols and absolutely no s&b news apart from still considering cobalt trio

shop think you did the right thing trading in your mulberry if you don't use it anymore plus with the hike in prices recently you should get a good price. I need to look at doing same with some stuff that's gathering dust.

dry lovely interior deco pics you posted the other day apart from the colour!!!

turq breakfast out with your dh sounds fab, I'd love to do that. Last time we were in London together I wanted to do that at the wolseley but it was closed.

soyyo think you're doing the right thing returning the jacket, better to get one that's just right.

I've turned into such a chubber being away for too long so can't get excited about clothes until have got my weight back down. It's the croissants, cheese etc, just too tempting! Was doing really well at healthy eating, exercise etc too so bit disappointed in myself letting it go. Have decided back on the 5:2 for 2 months once home next week to kick start the system & actually quite looking forward to it.

blair fab boots, bet the colour looks great against navy dress too. Have you got your holiday wardrobe sorted?

Had the bargainous brandalley moobaa in size 14 in basket but on checkout wouldnt accept my order as it was by then out of stock.
Cannot waste more time online shopping. Work to do!

So yes will part with outnet taupe jacket though I love it the colour does me no favours. Bye ladies and thanks for the help.
After work Im off to the beach shack in Norfolk coast for the weekend (no internet access) so will check in next week sometime. Tx again.

Have a lovely weekend SoyYo!

Thanks mara, yes think I have just managed to narrow it down, I am going for 7 days/nights and will be taking 6 dresses, 3 bottoms and 5 tops. That sounds like hardly anything to me, but it makes 24 outfits and I need space for purchases

Who else is away for half term? I can't believe we are nearly in June already!

Blair I know! This part of the year gets so fast. I think hang on it's light so late, it was just cold. And BAM it's the longest day of the year and I really don't like it when that passes.

Shop I know; spa days, buying make up, haircuts, massages (nonono) all not really my thing. Although I do love a bit of good packaging, so will go for that. Is Space NK good? Or is that just like saying you should spend loads and loads, or is it the same stuff as John Lewis et al

Today's outfit is here, worn with a silver belt and silver statement necklace. I also had a white jacket in honour of the sunshine.

Glad your results were positive shop but sorry you have caught a cold.

Good luck in the jacket hunt SoyYo.

5:2 works brilliantly for me mara, but enjoy the rest of your holiday first.

DH and I are off to New York for half term. I have never been so am very excited and am busy planning the itinerary (to include shopping time) and wardrobe.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend x

Mara good luck with the 5:2, am sure you'll adjust in no time.

Ugh, today has just been non stop stress with events including the pharmacy making up and the LOSING my prescriptions. There was talk of police involvment due to what some of my tablets and other medicines are so that was just an hour of sheer stress as I waited for them to get back to me. Luckily they found it, stuffed right at the back of the wrong tray. What it was doing in there, no one knows.

On the plus side, I've been wearing a size 14 Warehouse dress today which feels like quite an achievement as I've always personally found warehouse clothes to be on the smaller side

How are you feeling today shop?

NYC IS exciting Topaz I am very but still hope you have an amazing time

Topaz how did I miss that, must have x post. Have a great time in NYC!

One sounds stressful but good one on the 14.

one how stressful but well done on the size 14!

topaz sooo about NY! DH and I went last year and I can't wait to go back.

mara 5:2 has really worked for me. I have nearly lost 10 kg so I have nearly achieved my target weight.

I might try and lose a bit more but I would also like to tone up a bit. ignores the fact that I LOATHE excercise

A Crossfit place has opened nearby but I have no idea what they do. sleep do you maybe know?

And if I wanted to get rid of my mummy tummy and love handles, what kind of excercises should I do?

shop I am going to look at flights and hotels this weekend.

I am actually petrified of meeting all of you so I might chicken out.
