Happy anniversary Stokey I like the sound of that outfit too.

hamptoncourt · 01/06/2014 19:56

Oh I am so excited to have found the MN fashionistas!! I need help please. I bought these Tom Ford sunglasses from fishpond.co.uk for £159. I hae since looked around and nobody else seems to be selling them so cheap.

Do you think they are genuine? They seem to be a lot pricier on other sites and i have never ordered from or even heard of fishpond beforeBlush

Many Thanks

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 01/06/2014 19:59

Glad you had fun nights Dry, Marsha and Stokey. Good spot on Chris M, we walked past Cilla Black staying at our hotel last week but yours is defo better!

Had a nice productive day here, went to Costco this morning to stock up and meet my mum, then housework. I replaced all my wooden hangers with the slim velvety ones and my wardrobe suddenly has so much space! And have transferred handbag contents to Boxer once I'd Collonil'd it. I'm so happy with it, love all the pockets it has and it is really, well... boxy Grin

Just ordered a cream silk shirt from Uniqlo as they hardly ever seem to have the style I like and it was low in stock.

Hope you were rescued in good time QueenC!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 01/06/2014 20:03

Hi hamptoncourt (my neck of the woods!)

I have never heard of fishpond but it looks genuine to me. Seems the sunglasses will be coming from an overseas supplier where the price/FX rate is better. Love the sunglasses btw! :)

hamptoncourt · 01/06/2014 20:12

Thanks Blair I will sit back and relax. I think it will be another week or two before they arrive. I will feedback though so people can share my good fortune as if the sunnies come with the proper authentication they are a damn good buy.

shopafrolic · 01/06/2014 20:15

Evening all. Fedup and amber thanks for bikini / swimsuit links. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and try the Boden ones. Will order tomorrow. The prospect of trying on swimwear when I already have a farmer's tan is depressing. My DM Hmm took great delight pointing out how white my legs are over lunch today - much appreciated. Angry
QueenC hope car gets sorted and tyre isn't too ££
Dry sounds as though you had a good night
Marsha wedding sounds brill - nice weather too?i have two weddings in one weekend to attend in September. Need to start planning what to wear.
HamptonCourt welcome! Fab sunnies. I don't know the site but nothing bad comes up on Google so fingers crossed. I love my TFs.
Didn't know they did silk shirts Blair have you got a link?
Who have I missed?

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 01/06/2014 20:29

shop they are on this page under blouses, they have a few styles, I got the Ines one as I like the cuffs. They always seem to sell out ridiculously fast though.

How are you feeling lately btw? and how is the anya? :)

shopafrolic · 01/06/2014 20:38

The Anya is just brilliant Blair :)
Great size, loads of useful sections, shoulder strap is fab cross body when I'm lugging DS around. It just works - and the colour makes me happy! Thanks for the link, will take a look.

Dh was my knight in shining armour Grin. Our car doesn't have a spare tyre but instead has this sealant stuff but no instructions of how to use it Hmm. In the end he just pumped it up to drive home and weirdly it's stayed up. He wonders whether someone just decided to let the air out of the tyre for a laugh.

welcome hampton.

No fashion news here. Have been wearing denim shorts and an old tee all day feeling slightly delicate from last night 4 bottles of prosecco and 3 big bottles of beer between 4 people. We've just had friends round though for an impromptu BBQ which was lovely and I drank more prosecco

LinusDKD · 01/06/2014 20:49

Evening!

I have just booked my tickets and hotel for the 5th!

I will have to leave around 4-ish to catch my flight back but maybe that's for the best as it'll prevent me from drinking too much at lunch. Grin

I'm having a Sex and the City fest. Never watched it I know, I know and am onto episode 5 so far! thanks so much Anni Very nostalgic fashion wise, I wore a lot of the looks....I can't believe 1998 looks so dated now. Fashion changes so quickly. Can't remember which one I'm supposed to be.

Drywhiteplease · 01/06/2014 20:57

Yipeeeeeeeee linus and hello Hampton

MarshaBrady · 01/06/2014 21:13

Linus fantastic! That's great news!

Hampton welcome, no idea on the site I'm afraid.

Shop yes very good weather which was so lucky as most of it was outside.

LinusDKD · 01/06/2014 21:18

Thanks guys! Excited but nervous at the same time.

Can't wait to go shopping and raid Boots

Welcome hampton!

libertychick · 01/06/2014 21:30

Linus that is FANTASTIC. So looking forward to meeting you. Smile

hamptoncourt · 01/06/2014 22:02

Going shopping with teenage daughter tomorrow. Will report back if we get anything good Grin Teen daughter's natural habitat is American Apparel and Urban Oufitters. She wants an Alexa!!

I think I need a face primer cos the pores on my nose are like craters on the moon.

Research is leading me towards Benefits primer.

AmberNectarine · 02/06/2014 00:13

Hmmm dry - Charlotte?

Annianni · 02/06/2014 00:35

Dry you are definitely Charlotte.

Turquoiseblue · 02/06/2014 06:50

Yes, Charlotte, dry.

Am groaning inwardly at the busy week ahead- need a holiday.

Amber / queen ... I saw a nice silver belt recently ..... Now if only I could remember where...will think.

Am a bit tired of the pre sale sales ..... C non already just start !

Turquoiseblue · 02/06/2014 07:21

this top is lovely! Anyone.?

LinusDKD · 02/06/2014 07:41

Morning!

Lovely top turq but the wrong colour for me. Would be a great top to wear to the office jn summer.

I am in proper SAHM mode wearing my new Jimmies, white/pink Asos baseball top and fuschia Oasis flats.

I love the colour but wish they were not pointy but round toed. I just looks better on me.

Oh and I got confirmation from Asos that they have received my returns and have refunded me. Would be really upset about bad cc from them as they are so easy to order from when you live abroad.

Drywhiteplease · 02/06/2014 08:07

Amder remember these from last summer? Have dug them out ignoring possible rain had forgotten how lovely they are. Oasis khaki skinny jeans and stone merino swing jumper from White Stuff.
What I need is an interesting normally an adjective to be wary of in fashion speak longish top in burnt orange. All my orange tops are SS but I love the colour with khaki.

Mm....yes, I think Charlotte. When she said " all I want is a family and nice sheets" I actually rather fell in love with her Smile

Have a good day all.

4 days in to big build and I'm feeling a bit stressed the need for new shoesGrin

Blair I know your part of the world v well Wink

hamptoncourt · 02/06/2014 08:32

turquoise the top looks very elegant. I could not wear as have 32GG norks.

dry those shoes are fab and a good reminder to get my feet in tip top shape.
