Oh and shop I have the chestnut pistols and the colour is just loooovely and goes with everything. You get used to the way they look on your feet too. But I suppose it depends if you would wear flat or heeled boots more.

bettykt · 02/07/2014 13:38

Liberty your night sounded fun, sorry to hear about your friend though.

Linus I hope you're resting well so you'll be tip top for your MU

I like your dress Fedup really like the colours

Stokey I have the Next harems in both navy and black and bought them for travelling in, they are super comfy

Just come back from sports day at dc school, what a swizz there were no obvious winners so crikey knows who they decided was the winning colour. Hmm

Off out to dinner tonight and don't really have much in the way of summery going out clothes. I fancy wearing these leopard print shoes as I've only worn them once and they hurt like crazy but it means wearing black trousers which are a bit too wintry. Dilemmas dilemmas, will need a bit of a re-think, as I never did get round to buy a white summery skirt.

Paul Sculfor wow wee Shop

QueenC glad you had a good day yesterday, will this be a regular thing?

Stokey · 02/07/2014 14:11

Great shoes Betty, think they'd look good with a pencil skirt?

Popped into J-Crew, the sale has properly started now but most stuff 40% off. I got this maxi skirt and a strapless maxi dress. I'm not sure I'll keep the dress, I need to try it on at home with a strapless bra but the material on both is great.

Had no idea who Paul Sculfor was - he is hot Shop Envy

MarshaBrady · 02/07/2014 14:17

Betty those shoes are fabulous.

Blair true, the chestnut pistol is a looovely colour.

Shop he is hot. Who is he, what's he in?

Stokey lovely stuff. When I last went in there was loads of stuff I wanted downstairs but not on sale. I wonder if it is now. It was quite expensive still.

Hello,

Just been out for a pedicure, couldn't subject you to my skanky feet at the mu! Need to do my packing today, should be focusing on interview outfit but keep thinking about Saturday and possible weather conditions.

amber yay, I guessed correctly! Hadn't seen them on your pin either. I have the grey ones, one of my rare fp purchases and then they all went and got bloody discounted Smile

fedup that's a really nice dress, sounds like you live somewhere very beautiful.

liberty sounds like you have lovely memories of your hen do. Mine was a more sedate affair as included several pregnant ladies but think it was the last time I went clubbing (5 years ago!)

blair I've told a few people where I'm going, not many though as wouldn't want anyone trying to find me here. Dh mentioned completely randomly yesterday that my engagement ring looked like it needed a clean and I thought for a second he'd been checking up on me! He wouldn't be that sneaky though.

Anyway, off now to sort out my packing.

QueenCadbury · 02/07/2014 16:13

Just checked the weather forecast and it says rain on Saturday. Boo. That will change my outfit as don't want to get soggy feet!

betty yes, I do it weekly.

shopafrolic · 02/07/2014 16:28

He is indeed hot hot hot
He's a model. Dated Jennifer Aniston......
I love how much everyone plans what to wear. I will wake up, look out of window, decide and then run late for my train as I always do. Panic that I'll miss my 10am hair appt, make it on time. Figure everything else out from there. I've never been to the venue before so had better take a map! Hope it's good (was recommended to me by a few people but you never know.....)

shopafrolic · 02/07/2014 16:29

Remember the mermaids?

Stokey · 02/07/2014 16:40

Was that the Air soundtrack Shop? I really remember everyone listening to that album

shopafrolic · 02/07/2014 16:52

Oh I have no idea Stokey - I just remember the ad! Blush

Fedupnagging · 02/07/2014 17:09

Just checked out Paul Sculfor. He is indeed rather lovely. I'd forgotten about the Levi's advert.

It really can't rain on Saturday. I've planned for hot and not so hot. Wellies and frizzy hair just don't feature. However, this might work or
maybe this?

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 02/07/2014 18:44

If it is properly miserable on Saturday I might have to wear ankle boots Shock

Ok so the Pippa bag is gorgeous, colour, quality, size, everything. Really really love it, so pleased I bought it, now just to work out when to use it and when to use my Boxer Hmm Grin SoyYo if you can, go for it, you won't regret it.

libertychick · 02/07/2014 18:45

Grin at the headwear options Fedup. My hair is always a bit frizzy...

I really hope it doesn't rain.

LinusDKD · 02/07/2014 18:45

love this

Don't need it but I just the colours and the design.

libertychick · 02/07/2014 18:53

Just looked at the weather - Saturday really does look miserable Sad. May need a complete outfit rethink...

libertychick · 02/07/2014 18:54

Glad you love your Pippa Blair. It's gone now in blue which I had hinted at DH to get me for my birthday - never mind, he hates handbags so it was probably never going to happen anyway.

LinusDKD · 02/07/2014 19:00

Rats! I don't want to take several outfits and pairs of shoes to London won't have room in my suitcase to take them back

QueenCadbury · 02/07/2014 20:14

Talking of peppa, I saw this in john Lewis yesterday. I really like it but I'm better off with either a large bag that I can stuff kids things into or just a cross body for school run. I don't really have need for a medium sized bag.

Aaagh to the weather. Can you Londoners keep us updated. Am I going to end up wearing boots?

Drywhiteplease · 02/07/2014 20:25

Grin at the "Peppa" bag QueenC was expecting something pink!
Fedup happy to be your old work collegue Smile .....last time I went to "a school reunion" Wink
Considering I'll spend most of Sat on a train footwear is not a problem. It will still be warm so may stick to original plan, I may.........

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 02/07/2014 20:44

That's a shame liberty. They stock them in JL and HoF so you could check there. And your dh should buy you what you want for your birthday! :)

QueenC the forecast on the BBC site looks better than it did when I looked earlier. Still rain though, just less heavy! :(

fedup can you bring one of those hats for each of us? Grin

OneLittleLady · 02/07/2014 20:46

QueenC I can't find a link right now but I saw a couple of different grey cross body bags with silver hardware on the TKMaxx website. Might be worth a look if you are still looking for one

libertychick · 02/07/2014 21:01

He will buy me something I want Blair just not a bag! For some reason bags give him the rage Grin. He has a list to work off. Good tip re JL - I have some vouchers...

QueenCadbury · 02/07/2014 21:09

Grin at peppa. Obviously my iPad knows I normally talk about that rather than pippa!!

dry are you coming straight down to meet everyone? I've factored in an hour or two shopping again so could be like a drowned rat when I meet you all. I've asked dh for a figure of money knowing he'd never agree but hoping he gives me half of it . He asked me why, when I knew this shopping trip was coming up that I hadn't saved money. Er, because you give me enough each month for food/ nursery/stuff for dc etc but there's no extra left to save Hmm. I love him really Grin. Anyway he was asking who I'm meeting and I told him the real names of the people I've already met and realised that I don't know the name of the people that I haven't yet met. Feel free to pm your names!

Drywhiteplease · 02/07/2014 21:10

And apologies Shop but I remember the name of the reastaurant but could you please pm me address and MU time. Thanks x

Drywhiteplease · 02/07/2014 21:13

QueenC if my train gets in on time I may have an hour to shop.
