Queenc if your carpet is wool, I'd try pouring a bit of ace bleach on it (I use it on my cashmere) then using an old towel to absorb the liquid.
It draws the blood out immediately (the ace bleach I mean)
I've used it on alsorts.

Wearing my favourite mad Equipment silk shirt with the zebras. Also matchy matchy withy silver baby Rocco and Boden flats - dry are you proud? Bling not quite up to Novice's standards - Kenzo tiger ring and a silver dinosaur necklace. Hopefully my engagement ring makes up for it - thought I'd lost it the other day - searched everywhere, even had my had down the drain outside so grim, went back in and saw it sparkling on the draining board. It was a bittersweet moment, let's just say.

Man on bus next to me smells really nice - shall I tell him?

Annianni · 24/06/2014 09:08

Nah Amber, just lick him instead...

LinusDKD · 24/06/2014 09:10

I'm wearing my Jimmies and a white J Crew tee as it has cooled off a bit here. Havs on my feet but I wear one of my Gigis most days.

marsha what's the sizing like on IM shoes? might have asked this already but my memory is a sieve at the moment

BrandyAlexander · 24/06/2014 09:10

As a matchy matchy person too, I am proudGrin your outfit sounds great. Best not tell the potential axe murderer he smells niceGrin

LinusDKD · 24/06/2014 09:16

A strange man once told me I smelled nice when we were the only people in a tiny lift.

I was creeped out and told him my DH liked my perfume as well.

shopafrolic · 24/06/2014 10:04

Morning all. I bumped into an ex boyfriend on a night out a few years back. He hugged me and took a deep inhale and said "you still wear the same perfume" - we dated in 1997!! And that night I was wearing the perfume I used to wear back then. I was well impressed. And a bit freaked out.

Stokey · 24/06/2014 10:39

Is it wrong to want these sheepskin flipflops?

LinusDKD · 24/06/2014 10:57

Just ordered these

I have had my eye on them for a while and I'm afraid they might sell out in the sale.

Btw, Hush have 20% off in their pre-sale until Sunday.

MarshaBrady · 24/06/2014 11:16

Early meeting now lying on the sun out with dh (week off work). I like this flexible working thing Wink

So warm! Really lovely.

LinusDKD · 24/06/2014 11:32

Mmm not for me stokey.

Sounds great marsha! DH is away all week..... again. Sad

Ordered these as well.

MarshaBrady · 24/06/2014 11:54

Linus * Sad lovely buys.

I'm wearing new Oscar de la Renta sunnies won in the school raffle, last year we won a burger so it's a step up! They are wide but I'm going with it.

LinusDKD · 24/06/2014 13:16

Mmm, TS has cancelled my order for the shorts as they are OOS. Would have been nice to keep your website up-to-date. Hmm

Poor DS had a 39 degree fever at lunchtime, hope he feels better after his nap.

bettykt · 24/06/2014 13:29

Bummer, arrived too late to the Hush pre-sale, the shorts and dress I was after are both oos. Sad

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 24/06/2014 13:33

Sounds like a good school raffle Marsha!

Linus how annoying on the shorts, I hate it when sites do that. They're really nice. The harems are the ones I have, super comfy.

Stokey the flip flops are intriguing, I would wear them around the house instead of slippers I think. Hate bare feet on hard floors.

So, a few months ago on here I'm sure I linked this dress and said it would look good on Kat from DMBL40. Well, she bought it and said at the weekend that it was one of her favourite outfits ever - is she a Vogue lurker?! Grin

santamarianovella · 24/06/2014 13:55

I guess so blair, Grin, and its all sold out!

linus hope ds gets better soon,it must be the weather,and boo about TS, I have a couple of marant boots,I'm a 38.5 so I take 39, and the fit nicely,I'm gutted I didn't get the bobby,selfridges ad them at %50 off,

stokey not for me! I think it was phoebe philo who started it,she created furry flip flops for Celine,they were a big hit Shock

I took dd earlier this year for a blood test,and while I was trying to keep her still the male nurse who was drawing blood, said to me:I like your fragrance what is it? I told him it was chanel chance and he said : I will get it for my girlfriend ,it smells nice!" I found the whole thing hilarious and disturbing at the same time,

shopafrolic · 24/06/2014 14:04

We wear the same perfume Santa (not the one from the 90s......) the one I wear now!

LinusDKD · 24/06/2014 14:13

Haha, I wore Chance in the '90 and then switched to Coco Mademoiselle when that came out.

Haven't worn Chanel perfume in ages although I have some Cristalle somewhere.

Come to think of it I haven't worn any perfume in ages. Don't know why, I just don't feel like it.

Stokey · 24/06/2014 14:15

Spooky Blair maybe she should pay you as a stylist!

Annoying about your buys Linus & Betty

Did an H&M shop at lunch. Got a couple of shirts including this denimish one, a Breton style top and a black dress. Nothing in the sales but pretty reasonable anyway. I'm trying to start thinking about my Ibiza wardrobe, only 10 days to go.

shopafrolic · 24/06/2014 14:23

I'm saving hard for Tom Ford London. Off to Waitrose to pick up the John Lewis Mango dress order.....

maradesbois · 24/06/2014 16:23

Stokey very wrong!!

marsha I want your work/life balance.

blair you would make a good stylist.

Away with dh just the two of us in one of our favourite places. Middle of nowhere in Yorkshire, absolute bliss. Was trying to just relax and enjoy the countryside but the temptation of wifi was too great! People seem to dress quite smartly for dinner here despite the rural setting. Have brought my asos maxi dress and will glam it up a bit with black lkb sandals, big enamel Hermes cuff and wang clutch which got on outnet months ago and still haven't used.

cartoontrickster · 24/06/2014 17:23

hi ladies
feel awful that I've joined and am struggling to keep up and post!
had a look round the shops today and got a couple of bits for ds in the m&s sale.
I'm after these m.newlook.com/application/product/view?cat=312419399 but they are more expensive than I'd like especially as I don't think they are leather.
hate posting from the app as can't look back and remind myself what's been said and can only do one link at a time!
I've had a fairly boring outfit on today its hot again so tan sandals, light blue skinny jeans, pale orange vest top with a white loose cropped vest over the top.

shopafrolic · 24/06/2014 17:25

Stokey sorry - it's a flippety flop NO from me. But I am soooooo Envy of Ibiza. I need daily (if not hourly) updates.
Linus Thanks for the Mango dress recommendation. The colour is perfect for me and it's great for these really hot days (bit short! eek!)

shopafrolic · 24/06/2014 18:00

Just ordered these gladiators to wear with black JP dresses as I don't own any black sandals. Not sure if they are going to cut my legs off short but worth a try at £40 off RRP.

Drywhiteplease · 24/06/2014 18:03

stokey sheepskin tip flops Hmm, an oxymoron?
amber very proud of you Grin....I love a man who smells nice, but only when I'm very close up Wink

Fragrance is so evocative. I would tell a man or woman I know that they smell lovely. My mother has a thing about a signature fragrance. When I was young she wore Femme de Rochas, whenever I smell it now v v rarely it makes me feel v emotional. My Italian teacher at school wore L'Air du temps, my sis Poison, a collegue in France Paloma Picasso etc etc.......I remember and think of people when I smell their smell. Similarly I freaked out early on in my reLationship with DH when I noticed his mother wore my perfume but only for special occasions, once in 17 years and changed my signature smell pronto Grin
