MNV vol 43

[Drywhiteplease]

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

I've already got a pair of Ridleys. Really like them but I bought a 10 when really I should have got an 8.

Shop I also think the brown bag would be best for you (I would love the gunmetal!) Well done on explaining loss of ddog to DS. My DC were older when our last dog had to be pts so it was easier to explain. Also, she was old so not unexpected. We still all cried together and had an evening talking about her. Dd (age 19) still has a photo of her in her wallet and we have one in the sitting room. I hope you are all ok x

Agree with the need for a hoody/sweatshirt Dry. From what I saw of the 'yachty' holidaymakers on our holiday, the scruffier the better! (Though I know you don't do scruffy ). I'm sure you'll have a great time.

How about Theo as a short version of theoldhag? I agree that I don't want to call you that.

Love that bag Linus. Well done on ordering Lib. Agree that the Hush colours are gorgeous.

Great news on the wedding date Blair.

Good to hear from you One. Hope you are doing OK.

Good haul Amber.

Has Novice been lost to steam cleaning?

Have just paid balance of October holiday so think I should join no spend thread too....

Good shopping Amber love the leather mini and the knitted skirt and top.

Those Gap trousers would really suit you Shop.

Any Gap codes about ATM?

Oh and Linus - you understood my style perfectly, way before we had met :)

I'm ok topaz still really low but functioning, well just about, i have zero appetite, I haven't eaten more than two bananas and a tiny bar of green and blacks since sunday morning. I just don't feel any hunger at all at the minute, I'm hoping my appetite will return over the next few days, i need to be able to eat. I tried cooking myself some dinner but by the time it was ready, the smell of it was making me feel sick

I think everyone on here knows my style, quirky with a dash of quirky

shop you can get 15% off by signing up with a new email but I think it's the worst time of year for codes. Even for gap!

Halfway through our holiday - too many links to catch up on sadly so can't really comment although no doubt it is all lovely.

Firstly, so sorry to hear about shopdog and sorry to hear you are feeling so low One.

Secondly, hi to the newbies

Have seen some great and not so great fashions. Lots of short shorts and play suits with gladiator sandals. Quite a few harem pants too. I am mostly wearing cotton/ linen dresses with minimal jewellery and makeup - it's just too hot.

Haven't bought much yet - just a pink top and white crops from Banana Republic. Will try to link when get more time.

Not sure when you go Dry but have a fab time - sounds wonderful.

Just popping in as dd awake ridiculously early and everyone else still in bed. Survived the 4h car journey!
shop sounds like you handled it really well. As others have said he may ask things about death at randome times and he may make the connection that people may die too. for you.
Here's the BR RM stuff.

I'm REALLY annoyed. Banana Republic said on their site as recently as last night that the RM stuff was the 7th August. I had an alarm on my phone for tomorrow morning and everything. Now everything is sold out. FFS.

Glad you got some stuff though novice. :)

Confused though as no email and it's not on the site front page. Have they released some sizes early?

No idea Blair but that is very annoying.

Blair I was thinking about going in at lunch time to Regent St

I may ring them first and see if it is in shop yet. Unfortunately I have to take DD1 to Moorfields tomorrow so won't be in the office.

Anyway let me know what you're after and I'll try and get it for you if they have it.

Love the Longchamp bag Shop . Like Topaz I'm lusting over the gunmental but just got my aluminium MBMJ.

That is poor. What did Novice get? I can't see her post?

So I've seen the email now Blair and it was a special early offer for email subscribers.

Hopefully more will be available tomorrow. I really wanted the leopard vee dress but it was sold out so am trying the lace sleeve dress although I think I may have got the sizes confused as have bought a 4 thinking it was US sizing!

It was on Pin shop.

Stokey thank you, that's so kind. I wasn't really sure what I was after - I thought I had an extra day to think about it! I think the pink dress is my favourite. And am a 10. But don't feel obliged :)

Even on BR's pinterest it says "shop the full collection online and in selected stores from August 7th." THANKS BANANA REPUBLIC.

Ah x post. Thanks Stokey. I signed up to BR yesterday with a separate email address to get the 15% so not sure why I didn't get the email! Will be up bright and early tomorrow then.

I think 4 is a UK 4 yes... :/ I really like both those dresses too. The lace sleeve one is quite Zarita-ish.

Well I'm in no way a UK 4

It may be winging it's way to any tiny MNVers out there - Novice?

Morning! Sorry I was on a work trip yesterday hence disappeared. Shop, really pleased your chat with ds went well. Hugs to you my love.

Yes I forgot to switch my phone off last night and got woken up this morning by the email pinging into my inbox from BR. I got this dress, this one and also this lace one. I have got them all in a 6 so I hope that's right as normally I shop in the US and I am a 0 there. There is a good chance I might be offering it on here! Can you see the collection? You can look at it on pin and am happy to get it for you if you pm me.

Lib I am so happy the lingerie worked out for you....and do please tell dh we look out for the mr Voguettes here speaking of which last night I was trying out my new steam cleaner and dh kept asking me why I was giggling. Didn't want to tell him I was thinking of Dry's link in case he got ideas!

ouch ouch ouch! My filling just fell out when I was brushing my teeth. Have rung for an emergency dentist appointment for this afternoon. need to have it dealt with today as I can't walk about with a hole in my tooth!

Love that colour block one Novice - it was gone by the time I looked.

Ow One very painful, hope you get it sorted.

There was an interesting article in The Stylist today about the coming trends for A/W. They had five trends - Smart normcore (though they called it something else) - basically classic, fantasy & fairytale, bauhaus, sixties and red.

I like the sixties look best and happy red is back on trend. What are the rest of you looking out for?

Ooh one you're having a rubbish time of it! Hope you can get it sorted pronto!

Just ordered these Rag & Bone to try. Thoughts?

Thanks novice. Yes I can see it, there is nothing I feel I must have, I just feel cheated of the chance to get anything at all right now! Anyway nothing is left in a 10 online. Thanks though to you and stokey
If you can tell me what time the email came through this morning I will just get up at that time tomorrow and hope for the best :)

Ouch One, hope you can get it fixed asap.

Love them shop! Hope they're as nice as they look.
