I am wearing boots today! It's nasty here too betty.

Dry control yourself Wink

Bargain on the jacket turq, very nice.

My J crew parcel (pencil skirt and Tippi) arrived, not bad as they said 4-8 days and I think it's been 5. Can't say the same for Coast - ordered Sunday and the shoes haven't even been despatched!

libertychick · 11/07/2014 13:24

Grin at dry - but hey, you need the distraction from the mess!

Mara, QueenC and One - will be tomorrow when I get your parcels in the post - has been a crazy work week for me.

Turq you can practically see the models knickers in that dress Shock Grin. Love the jacket - good price too.

Whistles order arrived today and I am so happy! Both the stripy jumper and the grey cashmere are perfect and will work with lots of things I own - I feel ready for A/W already Smile Flowers for SecretSquirrel for linking the Clea.

And after what must be a record delay this red H&M midi skirt arrived today 13, yes 13, weeks after ordering it. But it was worth the wait, I love it. Flowers for Linus as I'm fairly sure you linked the black version originally.

Turquoiseblue · 11/07/2014 14:15

GrinGrin Lib I hadn't noticed. Waaaayy out of my price league anyway.

LinusDKD · 11/07/2014 14:39

That is shocking liberty! I hope it was worth the wait.

I have that skirt in black and was keeping my eye out for the red in our local shop but no luck.

The white Madewell top has arrived (again, impressed with Shopbop) and is lovely. It is quite sheer but I might get away with it wearing a skincouloured bra.

I saw some pictures of the Dior A/W collection and I am drooling over the winter coats. Sooo gorgeous.

And the embroidery on some of the other clothes was just stunning.

One day.... Wink

Drywhiteplease · 11/07/2014 14:39

Hehe ladies come over...it's lovely here Grin

Have made tea.
Have put out washing.
Am contemplating a bit of weeding I DO NOT garden
It's amazing how many jobs I can find to do outside with dark glasses on so no one can see me peeking
There's a whole lot of banging going on on top of me hehe....I wish imagine my dismay to get home to find DH here Shockhe's gone now.

Turq that is a beautiful SM dress, just gorgeous.
liberty a very impressive and wearable haul.

libertychick · 11/07/2014 16:07

Random post for Dry - you asked at the MU about how to find MN Classics - go to Talk topics, then go to MN stuff and it's in there.

Fedupnagging · 11/07/2014 16:16

Gorgeous SM dress Turq. Would love to be able to wear something like that.

Nice jumpers Liberty, love the striped one.

Sounds like you are having a pleasant afternoon Dry. Just take care not to stare too long with your mouth open and don't dribble Grin. If we lived in the 1700's, you could giggle coquettishly behind your fan and drop your handkerchief for him to pick up. am way overthinking this

Blair, I absolutely refuse to wear boots (except Wellies) in the middle of July!

Drywhiteplease · 11/07/2014 17:12

Grin Fedup quite!

Drywhiteplease · 11/07/2014 17:12

Ooooh thanks liberty predicts no jobs done this evening

MarshaBrady · 11/07/2014 17:12

Hello hello, long day and so tired. Woke really early this morning and couldn't get back to sleep.

Need to catch up.

Blair I am thinking about some Matches stuff too, they usually do 20% style steals as they call it some way down the line. But not sure if I should wait either!

MarshaBrady · 11/07/2014 17:13

Dry you are funny Grin

MarshaBrady · 11/07/2014 17:14

Liberty that red skirt is amazing! Such a pretty colour it will really suit you. And love the cashmere too.

Shop great Marant belts.

Fedup fab shopping.

I can only catch up in stages, too beat!

shopafrolic · 11/07/2014 17:37

Finally got my Mulberry Mabel Hobo bag bag from being repaired. They re-edged the strap where it had worn for £30. Took months but good to get it done. I've fed the leather and sprayed it so I feel I'm looking after the good stuff I own.
Tomorrow I'm taking a Gucci cuff watch and my Michael Kors watch to get serviced and have new batteries. The MK watch has tarnished quite badly considering how long I've had it (18 month ish) so we'll see what they say.
DH has taken our dog back to the vets tonight - she's still not right so I'm unsure what will happen next - specialist referral and more £££ no doubt.
Love the shopping Liberty - you're so good at knowing what works for you.
I've just realised I have two weddings in one weekend in September. Am hoping I can wear the outfits I wore earlier this year but need to check how things fit as I've lost more weight since then.......

Nice Shop.

Mara did your dresses arrive?

libertychick · 11/07/2014 20:52

Thanks for all the nice reviews on my shopping! I am really delighted with all of the items. Such a good feeling when you get things you know are just right.

Nice shoes Shop and great bargains. Good work on getting the bag and watches sorted out. I always feel terribly grown up when I do things like getting jewellery cleaned or putting proper soles on new shoes!

Topazandpearl · 11/07/2014 21:08

Hope your dog is ok Shop. We have two and know the worry they can cause.

Love the red skirt Liberty.

Really love this tshirt which goes well with this black skirt. I also got these shorts which seem quite expensive but are a great fit so will keep.

I am off on holidays tomorrow and don't know how good the wifi access will be but will catch up when I can. Have a good week everyone x

Drywhiteplease · 11/07/2014 21:15

Have a great holiday Topaz

MotherOfFerals · 11/07/2014 21:19

Hello y'all. Thanks to squirrel and liberty for the Clea cashmere links. It's winging its way to me too! bought this too
Starting to think about AW too. It's my favourite season and I love Warm clothes. Saw a Toast preview catalogue: all chunky jumpers and vivid boots and coats. All £stupid too.

MotherOfFerals · 11/07/2014 21:20

Perhaps a few more toos in there too?

Topazandpearl · 11/07/2014 21:39

I love AW clothes too Wink MoF.

bettykt · 11/07/2014 22:36

Belated hello and welcome MoF great dress, I'm looking at something in a similar style myself.

Funny you should say that Topaz I really can't get excited about SS clothing, I much prefer AW, boots, coats, chunky knitwear, etc I can get excited about.

Drywhiteplease · 11/07/2014 23:04

Me too Mother... see what I did there . Love the security of opaque tights, jumpers and coats, although I'm enjoying sleeveless, sock less etc at the mo.
