Oh what a shame Queen, must be gutting to have a form of exercise basically eliminated as an option.

I've found a fab outdoor circuits class now though and adapt the high impact exercises and cycle so it's not too bad.

Shopping+new shoes=blisters = idiot
Glad to be sitting on train home but my feet look fabulous
Hopefully remind me of you blog I need to see your baby and I've missed your crazy cycling pics!

Quick question- I'm selling my zatchels saddlebag on a local FB page and have asked for £30 (original price £60 and hardly used). Someone's offered 20. Shoukd I accept or hold out for more....

QueenC hold out for more for another day? I'm not the best person for selling stuff however.

Before I link more stuff, just got to say I haven't bought many clothes for ages, due to lack of funds. I need quite a bit of stuff for work etc

So I just bought this Isabel Marant yellow jumper. Last one left, my size, worked a treat again! And I have been hankering after Marant since it all went on there.

And a Chinti & Parker striped skirt from the outnet too, not sure whether to link until it's here as it's stripes, not really me. But cheap! And I can do cheap atm. Will link if not too bad.

Lovely Marsha

That is so you Marsha. Will be nice with the Sportmax skirt as well!

Thanks Dry and Amber!

I just need flats and that elusive pencil skirt, oh and shorts and nearly there.

Making sure you have all see this House Of Fraser Flash Sale ends 6am tomorrow

Quick question everyone, what do you do when wearing sunblock / protection to wash it out of collars and edges of tees? I ve had a few ruined from yellowish residue, especially bad on whites!

Have you tried Napisan Turquoise?

Evening!

Sitting down with a glass bottle of after a challenging day which ended with me having to carry a tantrumming DD home in the middle of a lovely dinner in a restaurant.

What has happened to my sweet baby?! With DS is was clear from the beginning that the Terrible Twos would be a challenge but DD has always been such an easy baby.

Eating my cold pizza that DH brought back home for me...feeling drained after dealing with DD's meltdown.

sleep I love the dresses you ordered, especially the A&O one.

marsha impressive shopping. Love the MiH shirt and I love the IM yellow jumper.

I wore my DP broderie dress to dinner well the 30 minutes I was in the restaurant and DH loved it.

Maybe not as much as novice's DH but he loved it nevertheless.

Phrased that question badly sorry. Hadn't thought if napisan. Ok will give it a go.
Linus, tantrum ing toddlers are tough work.

Great that you like the broderie dress, albeit for a short time Linus. Tantrums are hideous, ESP in public, courage ma chère it will pass. Think you and Queenc would like this top, I love the look, V me!

You'd think I'd be used to tantrums after DS but I just wasn't expecting them from DD.

And just when DS is over the worst, DD seems to start. Oh well, there's always

That is a great top dry. Nice to see broderie in white not cream. Amd 100% cotton as well. Might order it if I get a Baukjen code.

I saw a lovely navy broderie dress for you linus online somewhere the other day but can't remember where. Will prob wake up in the middle of the night and remember!

Evening,

hopefully hello and congratulations on your beautiful baby. I am making a nap sale wish list too, will revert with links. Need a black tie dress (long) for a work thing somewhere hot so trying to get inspiration.

sleep and linus nice shots of feet in the sun! Love the a&o dress, had already spotted it on outnet but wasn't sure for me. Think I am just desperate for the sales atm, have twitchy fingers but can't find anything I really want from mw sale or outnet. Have decided to just hold off a bit and see what comes up.

marsha lovely marant jumper and no need to justify! I saw the c&p skirt on outnet I think if its the navy and fuschia one, nice, good fabric with no mmf and great price.

Had a lovely Sunday, family pub lunch in a lovely country setting with big garden for dc to roam freely in, not great weather by continental standards but good for us. Sitting out on our terrace browsing nap with glass of cold rosé, summer bliss!

Waves to all!
Lots of lovely links! ,loooove that A&O dress sleep and I didn't dare to open the link to the JP maxi,vowed not to buy a maxi this year,

marsha love your Marant and mih top,I have the mih top in blue ,love it,

novice great dress and sounds like a fab evening!

dry love the shoes and no not matchy at all,

amber great post,enjoyed reading it,very true,

shop love the jp dress,

linus dd is exactly the same,very unpredictable,sometimes she behaves like an angle in restaurants and sometimes she is will refuse to sit,eat,and end up crying and screaming,don't feel bad,

I hope I haven't missed anyone ,I'm still packing,must have gone half a dozen times to raymans for boxes,duct tape ,and Sellotape, it amazes me how excited dcs get when it comes to boxes,they've ruined three already!!! ,

I did receive the liberty presale code and rushed there like a mad woman hoping to get all my summer stuff,but was disapointed to find out that its only the second floor,couldn't get anything from APC, but did get the Lure marant jacket,and a top, I also popped into and other stories and bought a vika gazinskaya dress, dh said I looked like a dairy maid don't care,i absolutely love it,love the cut,and it feels very light, I've worn it on Friday,I had a marylin Monroe moment as I was crossing the street ,thank god It wasn't that busy, and that i was not wearing a thong

And congratulations to hopefully,

Santa it's such a pretty dress. It led me to the Other Stories site and I nearly bought the t, but need to pause for a mo.

Mara yes that's it. I don't usually do stripes Chinti & Parker. But it was only £30 odd so low enough to give it a whirl.

Gorgeous Marant jumper Marsha. You have bought very little for a while so just enjoy it now. C&P skirt is definitely worth a try.

Santa the VG dress is fab. I went in there the other day and tried a couple of things. I didn't try that dress and saw someone else trying it who did look a bit dairy maid! You have the figure for it though. I was tempted by a t-shirt too marsha but the cuts on the T's are quite wide and I thought it just made me look a bit big. Love the prints.

Mara your Sunday sounds blissful.

Ah Linus your little baby is growing up and asserting herself. Hang in there, it will pass and everyone with kids has been there. So horrible when it happens in public though. My 3.6 DD had a meltdown the other day when we were out on her bike and unfortunately she's a bit too big at this stage to just be able to scoop her up. I had to practically drag her back to the house screaming the whole way.

True Liberty it was a bit hairy to keep forking out 3 days a week full day nursery so I could be available (running around for last minute cc is awful, would rather pay). I thought what's that in clothes? Loads! But it seems to have worked out well now.

And now I need to pretty much replenish my whole wardrobe!

Morning all! Fab night out on Saturday with our friends who we are going on holiday to France with in July - lots of exciting plans made and great food. And then a lovely day yesterday at Knebworth park with DS and my Godsons and our friends. Sun shone, picnic lunch - lots of fun.
Wore my Whistles khaki dress from last year and birkenstocks (don't throw me off thread!).
Linus hang on in there - sounds v similar to all the tantrums I had from DS about swimming (remember those!). I'm sure today will be a better day.
Liberty pleased to be of service :)
Marsha love the bits you've bought - especially the Marant - great colour
Hopefully lovely to have you back with us - that Helmut Lang top is great.
Sleep your Instagram pics are fab - summer in a shot
Turq this might help

I'm a James Perse addict - just ordered this dress
Will only keep one - hoping this looks better as it is infinitely cheaper!

Oh, and I wanted to say to Linus. After a mammoth trying on session in front of an excitable DH this weekend I have kept the orange Sorrento Boden bikini and swimsuit that you recommended. And I also grabbed this and this in M&S. Holiday swimwear now sorted.
