Shiny new thread, fashion chat. High st or designer.

LOL Shop

I think I need denim shorts too, hoping I can chop up some jeans.

Marsha am slightly worse for wear after very nice Soho lunch - half a btle of Albarino just topping up last night's hangover!

Saw someone famous but can't think who he is .... annoying

Good one Stokey!

Ha I know Shop. Although am counting against all those holidays where I followed ds for hours so he didn't hurt himself.

There's a small sleb here, in both senses of word.

Spill

Paul Daniels?
Keith Chegwin?
Keith Lemmon?

Lol Shop I spilled by pm. Not the best but I love any sleb spot am so easily pleased given where I grew up. No slebs at all until I served Jim from Neighbours an icecream

Clearly I have a lot to make up for

Stokey I'm not sure well be able to guess

Hmmmmm. C list! :)

Yep I do love a bit if c list. All humanity right there. The insecurities yada

Very tempted shop! Might have a look tonight on the DR website.

Put a bottle of rosé in the fridge for tonight, can't wait.

Both DC are hard work at the moment.... can't wait for DH to come home completely jetlagged tomorrow.

Oh and I saw the Hipanema bracelets in our local shopping centre and they just looked ok and very expensive for something you'll probably wear only one summer.

Stokey your Ibiza weekend sounds full on, when do you go? Sounds like you had a good lunch too!

Shop the cuffs you linked are great esp the crossover one.

Mara and mini linus hope you are both feeling better. Sounds like your rose will be well deserved Linus.

Annie, I was looking at Mango on the JL website the other day and thought they'd upped their game. Thanks for vote of confidence re trousers. Dh has no idea!

Sleep, just watched the video of you on the trapeze on FB - you're a natural!

Stokey, wow, have fun.

Linus, hope your DS is feeling a bit better.

One, try not to be nervous, you will be great.

Annie, love that Mango shirt (and dress Linus/Shop) and Fedup, great trousers. I like a lot in Mango atm, have this top on the way to wear with shorts.

Novice's Selfridges exchange made me laugh - the DDs often point out new purchases that I am trying to sneak in under the radar.

I keep seeing things in the sales that I want, could keep going if funds allowed but they don't! I have bought two Me & Em dresses (yes Blair, I was waiting for their sale email, I love their stuff!) (safari dress) and waiting for this dress to arrive.

Returning this top as it is cream which doesn't suit me but I recommend it if you can wear cream.

I've ordered a couple of t shirts and this skirt from Hush.

Don't tend to buy for myself from Boden anymore really but liked this blouse from the preview and ordered.

Also went back to Comptoir and ordered another coat, slight buyer's remorse there as don't need it but I'm sure I'll wear it a lot with jeans.

Now going to try to stop buying anything else for summer and hold off for autumn.

Yes sleep it looks awesome! And you were so cool....I'd have shrieked all the way! Btw am tucking into a salad copied from your pic....Parmesan, pine nuts, cherry toms sauted in olive oi....then went off piste and substituted cucumber for the posh spiral courgette, basil and a few sunflower seeds to boot. Yum!

Outnet delivery arrived.this and this. It isn't love so going back. Stripes, fabulous quality cotton but an odd fit, not fitted not slouchy. Grey boring, thin, tight on chest . DHL rubbish for me....I'm better at posting, can I do this?

marsha love the image of you "reclining with prosecco" at lunch time.
linus hope DS feels better soon.
betty love that harem pant look! it's a trend I'll probably buy into just as it's going out!
Shop love all of those cuffs......N o T h st being annoying tonight! quite like the cut out one.

Oh and a 6 yr old taught me to do power point today

Don't think the sound works on fb Dry, I was shrieking at the point I was caught !

The timing is amazing on the trapeze thing, incredible!

Dry I'm really not sure.

Decam great shopping!

Dry, I'm sure you can but DHL will give you a two hour window for returns.

Tried on the C des C trench again and not sure, I hope they will let me return as DD2 ripped apart the delivery box and apparently they require the original packaging.

Decameron I think if you're not sure then it's not right. I think you really know after a few seconds whether something is right or not, I do, but I try to work it and then I make big mistakes. I now try to stick to the 5second rule. I recently sent some stuff back to Boden in a different box as theirs had been damaged in transit, I called them. Why don't you try to call C des c.

DH and DS are out. I've appropriated the big telly footie tv normally and the comfy sofa Marsha I'm now reclining with a Sauvignon blanc and watching high brow tv, " Obese: a year to save my life". Fried Bread and bacon for breakfast what? I'd like that personal trainer to look at my muscles

Phew stokey that sounds like a manic weekend. I went to Ibiza once after finishing my degree. Even at the age of 22 I felt old . Bet you'll have a fab time though.

Whoever was talking about all the friendship type bracelets (sorry, memory like a sieve), I really like them but as someone said they're pretty pricey for a one season wonder. I've got a loom bracelet though that dd has made for me.

dec return if not sure and don't let dd open boxes again

one try not to worry about feeling nervous. It's only natural and I'm sure everyone else about to start feels the same too. You are god enough, they wouldn't have chosen you othetwise.

Has everyone else got rain? I've been rather enjoying sandals and can't bear the thought of shoes or converse again.

Yep rain here QueenC, nice for my veg garden (get me!) but hope it stops for the weekend.

You've been busy Decam I like both the me+Em dresses and the Boden shirt a lot. My Me+Em order arrived and the skirt and top are fab. The dress was slightly too big, it was obviously wrong. All sold out now so I might ring them and see if they would hold a returned dress for me to swap.

Dry I do the 5 second rule too, and put stuff back in the packaging straight away so I don't put off doing it later and forget to return. DP said earlier (of the dress) "You wouldn't keep it if you were trying on that size in the shop" which was actually quite wise!

Also just ordered this orange bag after it got further reduced. I have wanted a Pippa for ages and thought I'd get a fun one. I'm going to need to take bag-swapping tips from novice

God enough? I most certainly am queenC

Evening all. dry I have that I&I red striped top - love it. Such good quality.
Waves to lovely Decam
No news here. DH flying high as he's had an amazing sales quarter. Shame about the tax otherwise I'd be buying me some Novice alike bling :)
Oh and my parents are back and seem thrilled that we did the kitchen so that's a real relief!

Shop so pleased for you, after all your hard work. The top is lovely just doesn't go with my body
Blair I try to put stuff back in packaging right away too. Love the bag.

who wanted denim shorts?

Shop it's great your parents are pleased about what you did. What a relief. Love those shorts - have to try and get into Whistles, I don't feel at all confident about ordering shorts online.

Blair I would love to get the Pippa in blue but really can't justify it ATM. but I might send DH an email with some possible birthday present links

Stokey I love those flip flops! They will also go on my birthday list. I love the idea of sheepskin on my feet but get far too hot in full on sheepskin slippers. I am also at your Ibiza plans.

Waves to everyone, I'll catch up properly at the weekend. I did a Boden order which I hoping will arrive tomorrow but guessing as usual it may all go back
