But.....have just seen that the KG ones are synthetic Shock what's going on? Hmm

QueenCadbury · 16/05/2014 22:11

I've seen those clarks one irl and the silver heels were scratched just in the shop.

I'm going to tomorrow for the kids as it's an opportunity for them to see GP who are travelling to this gathering but never travel to see us and their cousins who they adore. Jeans aren't frowned upon by my IL sil is jean, white trainer and fleece wearer but absolutely no idea about the rest of them (or even how many there'll be).

QueenCadbury · 16/05/2014 22:13

I wish my linen navy dress from last summer still fitted but it's too big

Topazandpearl · 16/05/2014 22:16

I will be wearing these and my trusty FitFlops (Shockbut Amber likes them too....) which took me up and down the hills of San Francisco a few years ago. I am relying on all the walking to help undo the damage from all the eating and Wine.

Mara and Blair there will be quite a few of us newbies then. It's going to be fun!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 16/05/2014 22:40

Old trout Dry?! yeah right. Everyone on this thread is totes fabulous Wink

Those KG block heels look super comfy. I think the whole KG site (their own brands) is overpriced for what it is though.

QueenC as it's going to be so nice tomorrow I'd wear a dress and sandals I think.

OneLittleLady · 16/05/2014 22:42

Just finished dying my hair (I'm an at home girl as the hairdressers never manage to get the colour right no matter where I've been) and I didn't realise how long my hair had got! Think it's ude for a trim but I can't remember when I went to the hairdressers last which probably means it was too long ago! Blush

AmberNectarine · 17/05/2014 07:55

dry seem to be doing well. I wear them to work pretty often (though they do live under my desk as I commute in trainers) - maybe wait for Boden sale?

topaz - my secret shame! Will probably be wearing them today, was out for dinner and drinks in Mayfair last night and my zebra Gucci heels really did a number on my feet. Wore with bright green DVF Bentley dress and neoprene Other Stories clutch. Great people watching - two girls walked past me wearing neon rockstuds - one the green neon strappy flats, the other the pink point slip on flats. I nearly swooned - know what I'm requesting for my birthday!

Off for a long overdue haircut today - cannot wait!!

shopafrolic · 17/05/2014 08:28

Morning all. It's obviously haircut day today! I'm sat at the train station waiting for my train. Can't wait for the chop. The problem with short hair is if needs frequent cutting and I've left it too long.
Streaming cold. Marsha would love to still meet but understand if you want to keep your distance. Let me know.
Wearing grey linen j crew tee, Gap khaki skinnies (again), neon gap belt and Sam Edelman Gables.
Dry old lady? Enough already you fabulous woman.
Hope today goes well QueenC - you should get shopping points for going above and beyond the call of duty surely?

I'm going shopping today with a friend. She's going to help me find a nice dress for her wedding in August because I've no idea what suits me, and her bridesmaids are wearing my go to colour, navy blue.

So I need help haha! She's also very honest so I won't come away with something that doesn't suit me.

Drywhiteplease · 17/05/2014 09:09

Amber think I will try for sale. I'm just not quick enough off the mark though. Loved your cut the last time, a bit shorter, suited you.
Shop have a lovely day.
It's fab out there. Just pegged washing out in pjs....wonderful to feel the sun on my shoulders

Drywhiteplease · 17/05/2014 09:15

BBQ in shed tonight yey thinking white Baxters and Gigis maybe this over a white vest....so matchy. Need pedi.
If you see a flash of light around 6pm it'll mean I've changed my mind and got my legs outGrin

OneLittleLady · 17/05/2014 09:16

Lollipop link what you find when you get back! Smile
It's good that your friend is honest and is there to help, it can really make a difference having someone with you. I'm terrible at shopping for formal events so I always take my sister as I know she'll give it to me straight Grin

Drywhiteplease · 17/05/2014 09:28

lollipop I love navy too. Perhaps you could get a print/floral in navy......Yolanda around.

MarshaBrady · 17/05/2014 09:30

Ok Shop you're on, god I have nothing to wear Wink (true though, I need to do a handwash!)

QueenCadbury · 17/05/2014 09:34

shop sadly after paying £477 for the cats to have a scrape and polish and teeth extracted, dh is being stressy about money again. I have my eye on a bag for the sales though Wink

I think I'm wearing my linen dress. Dh has said it looks lovely and that I look slimmer in it than last year although dd has said it looks baggy!

Have fun in the sunshine everyone.

shopafrolic · 17/05/2014 09:46

Marsha I'm hardly dressed up, no stress.

Drywhiteplease · 17/05/2014 09:59

"Yolanda around"????? "Here are a lot around"

Secretsquirrel13 · 17/05/2014 10:04

Today am wearing grey zara skinnies, white vest top and slate grey linen t shirt, fuschia gigis and a fuschia bracelet. Wishing I had bought the Bargainous navy gigis recently but back to full price now- will watch them. Have a lovely day all.

MarshaBrady · 17/05/2014 10:16

phew just doing skinnies and old Sandro watermelon t, not dressing up either

shopafrolic · 17/05/2014 10:27

Sounds good. See you soon x

Just went to take a look at the AH maxi satchel in Selfridges, the perfect bag for me, just brilliant. Excited now!
Went into Mulberry and they can refurbish my black one for £30 so all good.
And gave fallen in love with the new Tom Ford London fragrance. Just fabulous.
Pick up 2 pairs of Gap khaki skinny Minnie's for £30 each. And tried the khaki shorts in neon yellow but they have pocket show through :(

Are new people allowed to join this thread? :)

I've been lusting after the AH Maxi too but haven't seen it in real life yet. What colour are you going for Shop?

My first love was the Tom Ford Jennifer bag but that's not going to happen!

Decameron · 17/05/2014 13:23

New people are always welcome, Toothy! I have the AH maxi in red. Lovely bags. I see they are bringing it out in cobalt soon.

Have a good lunch, Shop and Marsha.

We have been at the pool all morning, in old Whistles shorts and J Crew tee (really like them, thanks Linus for the tip off!). It's so hot here today. Now have to do more packing.

Toothytwo · 17/05/2014 13:33

Thanks Decameron :)

Is it really big, still good for everyday?

And Shop, I've read the thread properly now Blush and see you got the orange, love it!
