Flowers Linus - I feel your pain, DD2 is 2.2 and has massive tantrums. Yesterday she was sobbing with her head in her hands on the table for 20 minutes because I had given the silver play-doh (which she didn't want) to her sister - she had the, frankly superior, gold.

Love that Michael Kors dress Novice and your DH sounds hilarious

Great buys Marsha

Really like your silver sliders Sleep and the dresses you linked are gorgeous - wish I could wear things like that but think my boobs are too big.

I need summer shoes but not sure what to go for - GiGi or something else?

Am definitely getting the MBMJ Natasha for my birthday from dh - just deciding between cement or aluminium - both look nicer that the names sound!

Hopefully · 09/06/2014 10:12

Shop I LOVE that James Perse, so would have ordered if they'd had my size in the other colour that was on there.

Santa the milkmaid dress is v pretty, ignore your DH!

Thanks again for all the hellos and congrats Smile.

My shopping is virtually non-existent ATM as I refuse to spend on clothes that will (please god!) be too big in a month or two. Am going to have to splash out on shorts though, and a sunhat (which will continue to fit) if this weather continues - it's gorgeous here today. Will be making an exception to shopping rule when NAP sale starts, obv...

MarshaBrady · 09/06/2014 10:13

I just did a JP order too.

James Perse t

light pink

Tory Burch shorts extra 30% off.

and dress same black James Perse. that last one was a fuck it moment worth a shot.

I will to a mass try on this week with all the stuff, and keep the good ones, hopefully.

shopafrolic · 09/06/2014 10:18

Yep Shop Great spot! I was hovering on it and you convinced me to go for it.

Stokey · 09/06/2014 10:34

Love that dress Marsha

Can someone explain James Perse sizing to me? I am normally an 8-10.

How do his tees compare with the J-Crew ones? I don't know when the sale is Marsha, they seem to have bits and bobs going in and out of the sale stuff all the time.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 09/06/2014 10:44

Hi all. When I saw all the JP stuff on the outnet I knew shop would be ordering something. Grin. Hope yours are nice too Marsha. Unfortunately I think their things are all too dark/muted for me.

to Hopefully - I delurked on here a few months ago but had read your blog long before that, and then you popped up on my bloglovin feed the other day with your new post, so congratulations! Your baby's name is beautiful. :)

Great dress santa, very summery!

I'm waiting for the J crew sale too. I think they didn't really do a winter sale as they were too new to the UK (was it Oct/Nov they opened?) so maybe this time around there will be a proper announcement and good reductions. There's loads I want, so can only hope!

shopafrolic · 09/06/2014 11:03

morning , well afternoon really, Smile ! was just coming on to say lots of JP on the outnet today, thought of shop but of course you guys are on it!! Did a cheeky order between school runs as I was on the phone when saw the email ordered this as have lot of black already I absolutely love it. Hope it s nice when it comes now as it s something i ll get heaps of wear out of if it fits right and the material is ok. (says the poly queen lol)

Marsha love those tee s, should ve ordered some.

I dont really need any more summer stuff now i think, I have my eye on some of the casual jogger style trousers or cargo s, maybe and a couple of tee s I ll pick up in GAP or elsewhere.
A bag (not going to lik until i get it but it s not a £££ one anyway just one I really like.
Still want jacket - boucle/ marant style but havent found one I love yet but that s more of 'wardrobe staple' list, along with the elusive perfect fit camel coat, - to be bought when i fall in love Smile ,
Anyone else got a sales list?

Stokey i m normally an 8 and outnet advised 1 in JP dress. (am a little nervous that it ll be big though as it looks generous (I wear 6-8 in me and em)

shopafrolic · 09/06/2014 11:42

Oh bum this James Perse dress is just awesome. But as predicted by Amber it's too big for me. They have a size 2 on the UK site but I think I'm being optimistic..... will phone CS.

OP posts:
shopafrolic · 09/06/2014 11:47

Turq I LOVE that one.
NaP are sending me the dress in a size 2 (no size 3s left). I think I'm being optimistic but will try it........

shopafrolic · 09/06/2014 11:49

Amber is yours a really snug fit so it sucks you in in all the right places?
Sorry for multiple posts.....

Stokey · 09/06/2014 11:54

Thanks Turq great dress.

I think I'm with Blair on his colours, a little bit muted for me too, will wait for J-Crew

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 09/06/2014 12:01

Just joined the 9th june outnet orderers club Wink with these which I have been umming and ahhing over for weeks. I shouldn't wear black, but smart trousers are a classic right?

Love the colour and style of that one turq, shame I don't really do casual dresses as the cpw wouldn't be sensible for me.

Cross fingers for the size 2 shop.

AmberNectarine · 09/06/2014 12:12

It's a close fit but I wouldn't say it sucks me in - it's not thick like the me&em dresses.

MarshaBrady · 09/06/2014 12:14

Turq I love that one too. But I'm not ordering any more! Grin

Blair fabulous Tibi pants.

MarshaBrady · 09/06/2014 12:15

Stokey I haven't tried yet, but a 1 for 8-10? What do others think

Hopefully · 09/06/2014 12:26

Shop they had it in a beigey brown colour a while ago. Must have been relatively recently as I've only just started looking at clothes again, but it's not there now.

MarshaBrady · 09/06/2014 12:47

sob I've just asked the outnet to hold all three orders and deliver on Thursday as I'm not here at the usual time of delivery tomorrow and Wed. That's hard Grin

MW should be here today. Asos who knows. I have to check my trying on board to remember what from where.

shopafrolic · 09/06/2014 12:52

MUppers - PM :)

MarshaBrady · 09/06/2014 14:03

MW is here. Love, love this Sportmax skirt. Will be great for summer.

Not sure on this Etre, it's a bit big, but ok. I have to work out if the logo is getting all up too loud in my peripheral vision. Grin

MarshaBrady · 09/06/2014 14:06

I like it with the Marant belt. If dh doesn't fall over when I show him it could be a keeper.

shopafrolic · 09/06/2014 14:13

God I love all these new purchases. Everyone's gone bonkers and the sales haven't even started properly yet Grin

Turquoiseblue · 09/06/2014 14:17

Thanks for he positive feedback ! Really hope it s good as I love it too. An dithering now over if I should order a size 0 of that dress to hae both sizes to try on. Now sure I m really a size 0 but if the fit come s up big I ll be sad if I can't replace it. Ordered the 1 on the advice of ON chat help thingy.

What do the MNV jury think?
Meant to say the MIH shirt is lovely - apols can't remember who linked it.

AmberNectarine · 09/06/2014 14:42

My James Perse dress is a 1 and I'm an 8-10 if that's any help.
