haha Santa that's how I feel about the outnet and the stuff I buy Grin

Quick question is the Collonil I should get for leather flats?
this one?

Does anyone buy it?

Evening?

santa I use a few LRP products and I like most of them. The deodorant stick is lovely as is the Effaclar H moisturiser. Moisturising but not greasy. Shame it doesn't have spf in it otherwise I would use it in the morning as well.

Their Rosaliac CC cream is nice as well but only comes in one colour. Kt is a kind of peachy colour that does seem to adapt to my skin colour.

The white backless Asos dress arrived today and it is definitely a dress to be worn over a bikini. It is quite thick fabric so I get enough support for my B cup but there is some 'nipple action' so I do need to wear something underneath.

Also bought an off-white sleeveless Mango shirtdress in the sales today in my local shopping centre. I can't find a picture online but it's a nice mixture of cotton and linen so perfect for hot days like today.

MarshaBrady · 20/06/2014 19:16

Liberty I love that look very much, great buys. And fab shoes too.

Dry I can't believe I have missed this, but where are you today? Actually is it Race Day? In which case I hope you are having a lovely time!

LinusDKD · 20/06/2014 19:19

found a picture

I will wear it with a couple of buttons undone and it is not as short on me as on the model.

LinusDKD · 20/06/2014 19:19

Stupid Mango website! Mine is white.

shopafrolic · 20/06/2014 19:35

Marsha I use this one for shoes and the heavy duty leather one for bags.
I used the conditioning cream that you linked to bring some old bags and purses back to life but I'm not sure it waterproofs.

shopafrolic · 20/06/2014 19:36

Check Dry out on FB Marsha she looks awesome

MarshaBrady · 20/06/2014 19:37

Thanks Shop I just realised as I linked, and got this instead think I'll get yours too, as it looks good.

Linus lovely dress.

shopafrolic · 20/06/2014 19:38

I LOVE that Linus
Hopefully are you there? Can an Warm Deep Autumn wear that Papaya colour? I've got some similar colour swatches I think? Am v tempted....

shopafrolic · 20/06/2014 19:38

What's the sizing like Linus?

MarshaBrady · 20/06/2014 19:40

Thanks Shop! Have sent a friend request to Dry, yoohoo it's on it's way Dry

It's a great dress.

LinusDKD · 20/06/2014 19:49

They are calling it 'peach' on the JL website shop

dress

I do seem to remember it was a brighter colour than in the pictures, more of a coral.

I thought the dress comes up big so I got a size small.

LinusDKD · 20/06/2014 19:58

shop pm!

Fedupnagging · 20/06/2014 20:08

Lovely Mango dress Linus. I know yours is white but do like the peach colour on JL website.

I hope you are having a fab day Dry, the weather is just gorgeous. Perfect for quaffing champers and having fun.

Lovely to hear about all your little dc's starting school. I cried when each of mine put their uniform on for the first time. Blush

Some great buys from White Company Liberty and that Agnes B shirt is lovely.

I have just washed my one and only remaining maxi dress to wear to the cocktail party we are having tomorrow and it looks like it has shrunk - the lining is longer than the dress!! Am hoping it might sort itself out by the time it's dry - am I deluding myself?

I really need to buy some clothes but trying not to. We are now going to a ball in a couple of weeks but it will be more cocktail dresses than upmarket ball gowns. I have a knee length sleeveless silk dress from Laura Ashley of all places which is so flattering. Am wondering if I could wear that? Hmmm.

bettykt · 20/06/2014 20:33

Arghh don't you hate it when you lose a long ish post. Lovely purchases Liberty, hope you had a fabulous day Dry. Copied Linus and bought the H&M navy maxi very flattering on. Fedup hope your dress sorts itself out by tomorrow. I had something similar but in reverse happen to me, the other week, the lining of a crocheted dress was hanging down, had to tie the straps in the end.

santamarianovella · 20/06/2014 21:04

dry are you watching the game? France :3 Switzerland :0 !! Your prayers were answered Grin

annielewis · 20/06/2014 21:43

Lurking and keep losing you on my phone, so place marking...Grin

Drywhiteplease · 20/06/2014 23:22

Oh my god!!!! I've had the most perfect day ever! Everything I hoped it would be and better. Beautiful weather, fantastic fashions, brilliant company. Felt great in my outfit. I totally loved every minute and want to like in the enclosure !
And an auntie again too! Brilliant.
Will catch up tomorrow ( and tell you about a shocking thing I saw) Shock Grin

libertychick · 20/06/2014 23:33

Oh annielewis you have to stay now and show us something nice you bought recently Grin

Betty I lost a really long post on my phone earlier, it is sooooo annoying.

Lovely dress Linus - Shop get it in the peach/papaya - it would look great on you.

Very timely reviews on LRP stuff Santa and Linus. One of my list of to do's for tomorrow is buying new moisturiser. I have a SPF 30 in my primer (which I always wear) so not too worried about having it in my daily moisturiser.

Fedup I would be tempted to iron the dress while slightly damp to get the length back - hope it's ok. Tell us a bit more about the Laura Ashley dress, it sounds lovely. I have never bought anything from LA but some things look really good there.

libertychick · 20/06/2014 23:34

Fantastic Dry. Can't wait to hear all about it.
And congrats to your DSis Wine

OneLittleLady · 20/06/2014 23:51

Congrats to your Dsis Dry Thanks do make sure you come and tell us about your day tomorrow!

QueenCadbury · 21/06/2014 07:27

Morning all. Total stealth boast but I just got on the scales and I'm 9 stone!! Totally Shock as haven't been that low since dh and I were on a break about 15 years ago ( we weren't married at that point).

dry glad you had a great day. Can't wait to hear about it. And congrats on the neive/nephew
annie you must introduce yourself properly Grin
fedup hope the dress is ok.

Whoever asked, the dds are ok thanks. Little dd squint doesn't seem to bother her and it was actually dm who first noticed it. Big dd seemed much happier yesterday evening.

MarshaBrady · 21/06/2014 07:52

QueenC great! Do you feel fantastic? Not just the right but eating differently.

Dry sounds brilliant. You look really fabulous. I didn't comment as I thought your friends might wonder who MarshaBrady is Grin (ps I am FB light as just use it for a group, hence the mn name, my end is a bit dull on stuff)

Beautiful day. I really need to go to J Crew and get stuff for a meeting. Perhaps later.

MarshaBrady · 21/06/2014 07:53

Fedup I think you could for sure, a ball sounds fun.

Fedupnagging · 21/06/2014 08:03

Morning everyone and hi to annie.

Queen glad your dd's are ok and really well done on the weight loss. It's such a moral boost losing weight. Well, for me it is.

Congratulations Flowers to Dry's dsis and Wine for dry to wet the baby's head. I love a newborn. Can't wait to hear about your day.

The lining seems to be shrinking back on my dress. I tried it on whilst damp last night and it's looking ok. Probably should have ironed it damp though as you suggested Liberty.
