Continuing. From here some of us may have jetted off to far flung foreign parts, but we're still friendly, fabulous even in the heat wave and full of frivolous fashion talk. Come and join us Smile

It's lovely isn't it. Hopefully it's going to a good home.Smile sorry Linus!Grin

Another quick one as I am just going out.....Are you a size 3 feet and do you fancy Bloch ballet flats? Still in the box, never been worn, I think i tried it on for about 30 seconds and decided it pinched. I am really a 3.5 in flats so it was a silly buy that I forgot to return (silly me as I paid more than £24 for it!!) Again if you fancy it, just pm me and I will pop it in the post to you.

I have pounced on the pretty bra!! I was measured as a 30E/F last year by bravissimo but they hurt so I recently bought a couple of 34DD's and I'm much happier (and look ok IMO). If it doesn't fit me I'll offer it on here again.

One hope you are ok Flowers

Santa great to hear you sounding so positive about the move. Sorry I didn't pick a scarf for you (and to everyone else)!! I was burned out after all that lot!

Speaking of scarves I bought this Whistles one today.

shopafrolic · 03/08/2014 20:24

Did someone say jewellery clear out? Grin

shopafrolic · 03/08/2014 20:29

Oh and Liberty if the bra doesn't fit can I be next in line? I used to be a 32E but am more comfy in 34DD now.
So...... Is Dry around to sum up what I missed?

libertychick · 03/08/2014 20:47

No problem Shop

You haven't missed much - has been quiet without you! Smile

OneLittleLady · 03/08/2014 22:03

I forgot to say, I loved the scarf you picked out for me liberty

Honestly feeling so low tonight, the flat just feels too big for just me and the cat, I know he's only a couple of hours away on the train but it feels like it's the other side of the world Sad Sad

shopafrolic · 03/08/2014 22:04

Looks like I scared everyone away!
One I hope you're doing ok this evening. Has DP made it ok?
Holiday has been awesome. Great weather (too hot some days), fab food and nice to be with good friends.
Best items in my case were my Sam Edelman gladiator sandals and GiGis, Hush denim shorts, J Crew tees and my Whistles khaki dress and the Mango linen dress. The Boden bikini is also fab.
My friend also tipped me off about a great homewares store who deliver to the UK. Maisons du Monde

OMG at Kylie's hot male dancers on BBC1 now!

OneLittleLady · 03/08/2014 22:26

novice i can't pm about the ballet flats as my pms wont work for some reason but if they haven't been bagged, can I snap them up? If you've already been pm'd, no worries lovely Smile

Theoldhag · 03/08/2014 22:29

Thank you lovely peeps, I have I hope found the perfect scarf/wrap. Has anyone heard of this company? And if so are they any good?

Also thank you for kind welcome although I do remember many of you from old A&W threads as I popped in occasionally
under different name(s)

Better get back to sewing, always seem to be mending the dc's cloths!

I hope that everyone has a jolly good start to their week Thanks.

shopafrolic · 03/08/2014 22:29

Huge over enthusiastic cuddle back to Dry
I was going to lick OldHag in welcome but then reminded myself that I was on holiday and tried to take a break instead! Waves instead....
I found myself doing a Linus today coming home. This latest pair of Paige Jimmies are much softer than the last couple - love them a lot, especially with GiGis.

shopafrolic · 03/08/2014 22:31

I would chat more but I'm in awe of the leather clad fine-ness of these dancers.

Theoldhag · 03/08/2014 22:31

Your not you! Silly phone

BrandyAlexander · 03/08/2014 22:34

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!

I JUST FOUND THE GUCCI WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sleepwhenidie · 03/08/2014 22:35

I am in the only kind of rehab that involves copious amounts of wine, I can highly recommend it Grin. Fab evening tonight, attempted surfing on Portmeor beach then a cosy hoody and wine watching the sun set to the smell of bbq's all around while the kids played in the sand. Blissful.

Welcome back Shop, your pics looked fantastic. Hope you are v relaxed.

One Sad Flowers, don't fight the sadness, at least tonight, cosy up, cuddle the cat and have a good cry. It will seem better in the morning I promise.

I need to catch up properly but there's a nice bra looking for a home then I may need to add my name to the waiting list! I ordered a v nice Mimi Holiday set from Outnet yesterday, no idea how the fit is, I have a horrible time finding well fitting bras, am also 32dd or E though.

shopafrolic · 03/08/2014 22:35

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPP!
Best news ever Novice where was it?

shopafrolic · 03/08/2014 22:37

Sleep loved your pic today. Wine rehab is awesome. I feel like a new woman! :)

OneLittleLady · 03/08/2014 22:37

Drywhiteplease · 03/08/2014 22:38

Sleep sounds wonderful.
