a clutch which I don't need.

Linus that great!

Yes get thee on the outnet if you love Sophie Hulme.

for the longlegged MNVoguettes

Gah! No time to check out the Outnet this morning - stop linking Linus!!!
I adored that skirt.......
Off to meet my DB who arrived last night......

Love that jacket Linus

Dd1 went to the cinema for the first time in Feb (aged 4) to watch Frozen and is now desperate to go again. DD2 has just become a telly addict and is obsessed with team Umizomi but think she is a bit young to cope with a film. Tempting if the rain continues though!

Actually feels pretty muggy today - am dressed for winter in silk & Other Stories black dress with a long-sleeved black t under & black cashmere cardie on top & leather biker jacket & am boiling.

Need to make a decision on the bag by Saturday. What colour do you ladies use as an everyday bag?

Just popping on to say lots of lovely Sophie Hulme on outn et today.

Yeay Linus on the weight loss
I love Sophie Hulme - have one of her bad already.
Can't justify the envelope clutch (little one) as have mini Marcie to use ATM. .... Plus have a wish list of other stuff.
Rain here too.

If i was taller and skinnier - the Sophie Hulme silk dress is the sort of thing I'd love to wear.

linus petrol/teal is one of my fav colours. Love all the bits you linked ESP the clutch. Why couldn't you wear leather? In that colour it's not too fierce.
Does anyone know when the Mtaches sale starts?

linus thats an amazing weight loss,the fast diet really works

! I have that vanessa Bruno skirt,and I don't recommend it for the tall ones,its super short! I got it in 38 as i want it to sit below waist ,but it didnt help it was still short! One of my best AW buys nonetheless,

The pineapple sweater reminded me of amber .

dry I would love to come to MU,but I won't be here,I've started packing,and I will be going back and forth to get things done, and you've reminded me of grumpy we haven't heard of her in a long time,

I think first week of June dry

I thought of Amber when I saw that too Santa
Any top tips on which brands I should look at for swimwear? This is my first holiday abroad since having DS. Are bikinis (which I usually wear) or one pieces going to be better? I'm hoping I might pick something up in the sale but wanted to add things to my wish list now....... what will you all be wearing this summer?

Stokey my everyday bag is now orange :) But I also have black.

Linus well done on the weight loss. Are you near your target weight now? PLEASE look at flights.....

shop you have an amazing figure,why wear one piece
I love mara Hoffman,have two,and I'm on the lookout for a third one,

shop I am 5'4" on a good day so pretty short. I have just reached my first target weight (60 kg) but I have my second target weight now which is 57 kg (what I weighed on my wedding day)

I will wear both bikinis and swimsuits, depending on how confident I feel. I still have my gorgeous Eres honeymoon bikinis and I have a very flattering Boden swimsuit which hides my mummy tummy.

stokey my everyday bags changes but can be teal, indigo, yellow etc. I haven't worn my black LV handbag for years to be honest and my oak Bayswater is also gathering dust.

santa I thought that VB skirt looked familiar when I linked it and now I remember that you bought it last winter.

Just changed into shorts with my legs suitably treated with This Works Leg Miracle. Lovely weather here.

Santa I feel quite conscious of my tummy since DS (no stretch marks but wobbly), and I also wonder how well things stay on when you're chasing after toddlers? Will check out Mara Hoffman - thanks.
I remember buying some Boden swimwear a few years back and thinking it was pretty good so will take another look Linus - would love to get something great quality but in the sale.......was thinking about one good quality and couple of cheaper options so I can chop and change through the week?
My Wardrobe has a link to SS14 PreSale but nothing seems to be discounted? Anyone know what that's all about?

Linus I too have made it into the 50s at last. Haven't been there since I was dating my DH! Am on holiday though so I fully expect to gain a couple of lbs, though I did go for a run this morning.

Pineapple sweater? Where?!

Have spent the day in gap denim cut offs, white Whistles seam back tee and pink Nike pool slides over my sweaty betty bikini. So nice not to have to layer!

Sophie Hulme on the Outnet Amber - lots of pineapples.....

Ah thanks for the tips Shop and Linus - maybe black is just too conservative for a bag. I am dressed all in black today (quite unusual for me) and loving how my orange Longchamp adds a bit of energy.

Great weight loss Linus and Amber. Am going to try and lose a couple of pounds before Ibiza by giving up cake and pudding

Despite mummy tummy, I'm still a fan of bikinis for the beach/pool. Having a brown tummy is so nice (even if it is slightly flabby), and it feels so much nicer having the sun on your body. I tend to find if you look at the majority of other people on the beach, you wouldn't judge yourself so harshly.

Pepos pig world is fabulous

Is that in Spain QueenC?

Stokey I tend to use black bags for work but find tan great at the weekend. Of the ones you linked I really like the grey.

All the weight loss talk is depressing me! I seem to be getting bigger and flabbier by the day and finding it really hard to motivate myself to do anything about it. I will be the token fat girl at the MU you can all measure yourselves against wallows in self pity

I have been wondering where Grumpy is too...

Shop wear a bikini - I do or bra top and shorts. I got a bra top from bravissimo for my hols this year in what I thought was a great colour for me and wore it with board shorts and felt great.

Aaaaaaah I have a job interview on Tuesday!!! So, I went and bought a new blouse from Peacocks :)

It's very nice. I am very scared, even though I think I did really well in a mock interview last week (different thing).

shop this is the Boden swimsuit I have.

It has quite a vintage feel about it and does hold you in in all the right places. It is a b!*%# to get on though.

I really love the colour and might buy another colour in the sales. The bikini version is also lovely.

Lol at Pepos Pig!

liberty the first step is the hardest but after spending most of last summer avoiding taking the DC to the beach or the swimming pool as I didn't want to be seen in swimwear, I decided enough was enough.

Oh and well done lolli!

Link to the blouse?

stokey I don't know if you do blue but this is a lovely bag.

Very big but if you use it for work that might be an advantage.
