[shopafrolic]

A glossy new thread as the next meet up approaches. Continuing on from here
Join us for fun fashion chat, all styles and budgets welcome. You know you want to.

I must have misread things in the hangover fog - did you actually go to the Wimbledon final yesterday Novice?

Just remembered playing the 'which piece of Novice's jewellery is the most expensive' game on Saturday and trying to put them in ££ order! God I'm tactless!

Rockstudalikes reduced (have I mentioned that before?)

Ash Virgins

for Dry

Shameless delurk hijack.
amberrrrrrrr, if you decide that the toga pulla boots aren't for you after all, please let me know!
As you were.

Soz Mother worn those bad boys already and love them! Are you also a 39? May be worth a call to NaP CS in case they get any returns - they are pretty good at stuff like that!

Such a lot of posts to catch up on since yesterday morning. But first though, I feel I need to do a MU roundup as everyone else has:

Firstly Shop many thanks for organising and loved your bag. Glad your ds is feeling better.
Dry loved that we met at the station first - easily recognisable by the lovely skirt and fab bag.

Topaz, loved your sparkly footwear and also Marsha's legs blue heels.
Sleep looked stunning in that dress.
Novice, Raindance ring is soooo gorgeous.
Liberty and Blair also looked fab in pencil skirts and loved the 2 different casual tops you both teemed them with.
Linus extra for coming such a long way and loved the bag which seems to have tardis properties.
Mara, loved the colour of your top and fab, fab hair.
QueenC, another gorgeous top in a colour I love. Great but subtle name change btw.

I am still smiling at how friendly everyone was on Saturday and how easily we all got on together.

Finally, was always a bit meh over leather wrap bracelets but after seeing some of you wearing them on Sat, (esp the Hermes) think they look great. Guess what my wardrobe needs now....

Right, off the read all the other posts now.

Don't worry turq, the MU was great fun and it's nice to be able to put a face to a screen name, but you have no reason to feel unfamiliar. Do you think you'll be able to come to the next one? We'll have to do one before Xmas (and of course the MNV hen do)

Ooh am I the only newbie who didn't do a proper round up yet? Shame on me, must have been too hungover. Here's what struck me about everyone...

fedup loved the yellow trousers and was great talking to her about Vegas
shop fab hair and was so chatty and friendly
Sleep's dress was stunning as everyone's said and great tan too!
topaz had a beautiful watch and a lovely grainy leather Coach bag bought in NY
novice and mara both looked great in their white jeans and bling (novice you were not as small as I somehow imagined, ha!)
Loved mara's personalised Smythson tote.
dry has fabulous hair and the second thing I clocked was the Gucci oh and she's from my area!
liberty gorgeous hair and very pretty, I was admiring her engagement ring
Linus has the Celine version of Mary Poppins' bag and a navy Equipment shirt that I would love
Marsha was just tres cool and I can't not mention the legs and shoes... I can't remember anyone else's shoes!
QueenC looked lovely in her Winter makeup and navy top.

This sounds weird but I kept looking around at people and thinking I knew them from somewhere else. Thanks again for making me feel so welcome even though I'm childfree. :)

Carrying my Pippa today...I love it!/Her?

Shop, yes, Federer was supposed to win and make the whole year better for dsis!.

The bling conversation was funny. Once again lurkers, I know houw it sounds, I am not really Pat from EastEnders!

Speaking of lurkers, hello to Motherofferals

Damn that Federer! although I was cheering for Novak

Righto MNV jury, will go and try Florettes.

Shoppe the Sam E's are out of stock in my size but thanks

Naughty linus I've just bought the black! loved it on Sue's blog, v me, will look nice with bf jeans I hope. And at " bum you could bounce coins off" that has NEVER been said of my arse EVER quite proud....but after this weekend's blowout I'm back on the protein

Mara's personalised Smythson tote how the heck did I miss that? Mara one day I'll tell you my Smythson tale, nearly broke the law

I've got half a roof....YEY!
Builder just came in, asking for a plaster because he'd sliced his finger...told him to stick it under the cold tap, he said he didn't want to because it would sting big burly builder I said "stick it under the tap you wimp"" Florence Nightingale eat your heart out!!!!

Pencil skirt again today, navy floral, grey slouch jumper, silver flats....

Sigggh. I have just been looking at Sleep's dress. I don't think it would suit me. But i want to look smokin' too. .

I was just looking at that novice, but no idea where my bra would go!!

I was just thinking the same thing. Sleep was braless and she looked great. i think i would want one of those pushup gel jobbies to stop mine peeking south!

[I meant this bra www.amazon.co.uk/Silicone-Party-Bra-Clear-Stick/dp/B0044D7O0S] So tempted!

Yeah, don't think I'll be going braless anytime soon. Ho ho.

Love sleeps dress but not a chance in hell I could go braless

Love sleep's dress in navy too but even though I only have a B cup, I don't think I could go braless.

And dry you do have a very pert derrière, especially in that skirt.

shop I went to my local Chanel make-up counter and tried some of the eyeliners and I love the Cassis. I think it will work well with my green eyes but as the SA wasn't there I didn't buy it because she always gives me loads of samples

Novice lucky you going to the Wimbledon final. It was a good match to watch on the TV so must have been even better at Centre Court. Btw, I can't get your bra link to work.

Topaz, thanks for the hair compliments. My wavy hair had in fact been straightened on Sat! When I want to leave it curly, I pretty much follow Liberty and SoYo's advice. I also use this argan oil sometimes which works well for both blow drying and leaving to dry naturally. I meant to ask Liberty about her curl by curl hair cut as her curls were lovely.

Dry hard to believe those skirts are M&S. Can def see you wearing them. Also agree with the floretttes.

Shop I saw those rockstuds a likes and sorely tempted but with less than 3 weeks til hols, am holding out for a black pair in the states. I better find a pair or will be v v miffed.

I seem to remember Mara mentioning a while back that she had ordered the smythson but NO IDEA it had put in an appearance on Sat.

marsha the pictures of Yvonne Strahovski (no idea who she is) really reminded me of you.

Just love the gorgeous soft grey knits she is wearing.

Sorry pictures in this month's In Style magazine I picked up in the airport.

She looks fab Linus! I'm always drawn to a bit of blonde hair, dark eyebrow action. And I googled, she's Australian!

I'm am so keen to catch up. I had to travel across London today and ds fell asleep in my arms. He's nearly five and no where near light. Made it home, so that was lucky. But had a big umbrella in my arms which drove me crazy.

Back later for a real post.

I am pmsl at all the love of sleep's boobs, Marsha's legs and dry's* bum! We are getting progressively more disinhibited with each other! Thanks for all the lovely compliments. I had such and good day and all the lovely feedback has me smiling.

topaz the curly haircut was great. I'll pm you some details later

Hehe liberty I did find myself thinking that surely between us all we could put together the ideal Voguette. (Your lovely curls, of course!)

I thought mara had just bought the Smythson the day before or so? In store? Doubting my recollection now no idea why, my mind was crystal clear at the time!
