Betty I got the coral & the navy, which is a bit lighter in real life. The coral is lovely & summery. Just need to wrestle with the self tan now...

Drywhiteplease · 14/06/2014 09:17

Lol dry!

I just ordered this sundress in white. Perfect for on holiday and cotton, bonus!

Asos have 25% off certain of their own brand items including that one shouldered dress I just ordered this week. Hmm

santamarianovella · 14/06/2014 10:33

dry I shouldn't read your posts when I'm drinking coffee, Grin,

MarshaBrady · 14/06/2014 10:37

lol Dry Grin you crack me up.

That is so lovely Linus. The catwalk has a orange one. I am tempted too now. But I think I need support, maybe a one piece under it. How will you do it?

LinusDKD · 14/06/2014 10:45

Not sure if the orange one is still available as I could only choose between black and white.

This is definitely a 'throw on over a bikini' dress but depending on how seethrough it is and how supporting I might try it without a bra.

MarshaBrady · 14/06/2014 10:51

You're right the orange is only in the video, I like the black and white too. Both are good.

Oh no I thought I had posted a whole sentence now I'm not even capable of that. It's so boring in comparison to Dry's options was just to say was getting ready for my lovely day out, now en route to said day out wearing new dress and shoes and feel great!
Hope you all enjoying the lovely sunshine.

LinusDKD · 14/06/2014 11:38

Have fun secret! I bet you look gorgeous in your new dress and shoes.

maradesbois · 14/06/2014 11:39

Morning ladies and dames!

linus I ordered the same one-shoulder dress as your blue one in black plus this bandeau maxi dress in green. Total price under £35 so not expecting great things quality-wise but should be good summer throw-ons plus am fed up of seeing similar designer things priced £££ for mmf. Hope they're ok as think asos returns are a faff.

liberty birthday tea at sketch sounds like a lovely day. sleep may be setting a trend, it's my b'day just after the mu so we're going to stay down in London for a few days. Will be giving dh some ideas about treating me! He is a big fan of nice restaurants so shouldn't be too hard. We met Pierre gagnaire who think is sketch co-owner in a lift in HK a few years ago and dh was quite starstruck! He seemed charming though.

Not a football fan but love the collective celebratory atmosphere you get during all big sporting events. Not so much the nasty drunks and fighting you get in uk when it goes against them though.

Have a lovely day all, sun is shining here & am wearing lkb silk maxi in navy & off white with navy gigis that aren't really navy but like them anyway. Going to a birthday party, pimms and cake in the garden hopefully.

AmberNectarine · 14/06/2014 12:24

shop did your replacement khaki JP dress come? I ask because they have it on Shopbop and it works out about £137 with taxes...

Drywhiteplease · 14/06/2014 14:03

Oooooh you sexy thing linus

shopafrolic · 14/06/2014 16:02

Dry Grin
No clothing news today. Am wearing my Breton Ganni dress, good for this mixed up weather. We bought two sun loungers today (in the rain)
Amber dress should arrive on Monday. It is a size 2 and I think realistically I'll need a three so will try for size and then fingers crossed that ShopBop still have some. Thanks for the tip off Thanks

dry that dress will be strictly worn 'en famille'. Grin

When I was in town yesterday and was observing all these girls in their teens and early twenties wearing very summery outfits, I wished I'd had more confidence when I was that age and weighed 50 kg

QueenCadbury · 14/06/2014 17:05

Hello. On a train heading up north hoping that my mango dress in my bag isnt getting too creased. Feeling crappy with sore throat and aches and hoping accombination of hardcore cold and flu drugs and wine will see me through!

Drywhiteplease · 14/06/2014 18:57

WArNING Marsha do NOT go on the toe nail varnish, I repeat DO NOT go there!!!!!Grin

MarshaBrady · 14/06/2014 19:21

Dry What? Grin

AmberNectarine · 14/06/2014 22:07

dry's pissed again...

Sleepwhenidie · 14/06/2014 23:19

Amber I think you are right, Dry may have pushed her luck too far combining flu drugs and wine...Dry please tell us you got to your destination ok and wtf you were going on about re toenail varnish Confused

QueenCadbury · 15/06/2014 00:12

Its me taking wine and flu drugs!!! Yes I got to tbe party and I'm back at my hotel already as the drugs have worn off! Wore the mango dress with flat silvet sandals.

Drywhiteplease · 15/06/2014 00:42

Hang on a minute...I'm sobber as a judge not honest! Not combining my wine with anything, just straight up....excuse me

marsha I meant "toe nail varnish thread ....ThREAD!"" Missed that bit out. But pleeeeeeeaaaase don't go there.

Anyway......note to self, NEVER go out with DH when England are playing in World Cup......long,long story but I ended up having to walk home in a pair of flit flops Shock and a borrowed jacket that clashed horribly.....gorgeous outfit at beginning of evening reduced to a hideous flashy fashion disaster because of a stupid footie match Sad ...........

Hopefully · 15/06/2014 08:51

Lol at Dry's totally not drunken posting and midnight style crisis.

Speaking of nails, I painted mine bright sunflower yellow last night. It's very cheerful, but a little bit 'fun' for me. I think I need neon or darker colours.

Bit cooler here today, but still lovely. I am out for a walk with the baby in the hope of burning some calories. Am so bored of baby weight limiting my clothing options. May have to diet.
