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

I thought it meant that your skinnies fell down and mine held mine up which is probably true Grin

No not yet. I'm working up to it.. I have looked at it 15 times now.

LinusDKD · 21/08/2014 20:52

Well, santa Lite. She would have kicked some serious ass by now. Grin

MarshaBrady · 21/08/2014 20:54

Yeh I really moved those Sunday supplement boots before Santa saw them. I would have been in big trouble

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 21/08/2014 21:01

Thanks betty, will definitely be buying one at some point I think. Navy for sure.

Best summer buy is either £1 dress or Marant rip off slides

Marsha I'm chiming in to say the coat is perfect for you. Maybe you should ring the APC shop to make sure they have it in, if you're not going to order it tonight?

QueenCardigan · 21/08/2014 21:02

Evening all. Been busy packing today as off tomorrow. Am going to try and stay off the internet all week. Will I manage it do you reckon? Grin

One of my best buys has to be my fat face denim shorts as I wore them virtually every day during that hot spell. I'm pleased to say that everything (except a lipstick and a nail polish) bought over spring/summer has been a good buy. All thanks to you lot and this thread Smile.

Have a good week everyone x

shopafrolic · 21/08/2014 21:02

I love your style Blair LOVE it

LinusDKD · 21/08/2014 21:09

Have a great holiday queenc!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 21/08/2014 21:18

Aww thank you shop! Flowers

QueenC have a fab time.

shopafrolic · 21/08/2014 21:20

QueenC I doubt you can make it through but good luck! The only reason Dry is managing it is because she's on a boat! Grin

OneLittleLady · 21/08/2014 21:22

when it comes to lowering the tone of the thread blair I think that crown is mine since I am currently wearing a Ninja Turtles onesie Wink

my best buy...hmmm.....I don't really know, I haven't actually bought all that much other than 'make do' items while my body shape is still changing. I think A/W is going to be more more my season anyway as all the colours that have been 'in' for S/S have been the wrong colours for me, despite many attempts over the years, I just don't look good in pastels and if there are any i will look good in, I haven't found them yet

santamarianovella · 21/08/2014 21:35

I'm HERE! I'm HERE,

linus I think we can start a shopping business, you source ,and I will be the crazy lady shouting and giving orders for customers to buy Grin
marsha its beautiful but maybe size up, A.P.C sizes are small,

I've been super busy,dcs started school literally the next day we came back, and Its a nightmare, lots of stuff needs sorting out,
anyway,so nice to see shop back,you've been sorely missed.

queen enjoy your hols,

And waves to betty

As for summer star buy, Its difficult to choose one, i like everything i bought but I love CE striped dress, the most i think so comfy ,petit bateau one I picked on sale while on hols has been amazing too, good quality and costed less than €30 , very impressed with it, and have worn it loads, to bad I can't wear it again,

The weather here is miserable,I'm wearing jackets , knitwear scarves,and its still August! I've worn my rick owns jacket this morning Shock,

shopafrolic · 21/08/2014 21:41

Aaaaw thanks Santa Blush

OneLittleLady · 21/08/2014 21:43

Santa I've been wearing jackets and my new red trench coat the last few days. It hasn't been wet here but has definitely been chilly. I gave my last trenchcoat to my sister as it was huge on me. My new one, the red one, is actually a size bigger than the one I gave away but it is a lot smaller fitting and the material has no stretch or give in it at all

libertychick · 21/08/2014 21:48

Popping in to RAGE just saw this dress and though ohhhhh I like that, wool top, silk skirt, good price decide to buy it and it's OOS in EVERY size - if it's gone then take it off your sodding website people and don't upset me like that [anger]...

Sorry, as you were....

shopafrolic · 21/08/2014 21:52

Have you checked store stock Liberty? That's why they leave it online but yes, agree, v frustrating.

bettykt · 21/08/2014 22:06

Best summer buy, well it's thanks to Linus really H&M navy maxi dress I wore it loads when it was warmer and wore it a lot on holiday too. Considering I'm quite short, it's the right length for me.

Have a lovely holiday QueenC hope you get some nice warm, dry weather.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 21/08/2014 22:13

Liberty PM

OneLittleLady · 21/08/2014 22:20

Have a fab holiday QueenC

Topazandpearl · 21/08/2014 22:21

The best summer buy, in terms of CPW, is the broderie top. In terms of what gives me the most ongoing pleasure, it is my Coach bag.

Have a great holiday QueenC.

Love that coat Marsha!

libertychick · 21/08/2014 22:56

So following pm's from super dress finders Blair, Betty and QueenC I have ordered the Jigsaw dress from John Lewis Smile. You are all so, so lovely - another example of this thread giving me the warm fuzzies... it was only left in small and usually I would go for a medium but Jigsaw often runs a bit big I think so worth trying.

shopafrolic · 21/08/2014 23:13

Yay! On that happy note I'm off to bed. Night all x

MarshaBrady · 22/08/2014 07:30

Morning! Nice and fresh today. Or is it just nice to be out early, I always love it.

Liberty and everyone that is fabulous. Smile

I was pondering my best buy at 3am and thought hmm yes the Rossi heels are not high on cpw. What's my best cpw and I nearly bolted upright when I remembered the Celine bag. I felt guilty Grin but it's because it feels so right - so that's my one for sure.

LinusDKD · 22/08/2014 07:39

Morning!

marsha I also forgot my Céline bag! Blush

Maybe because I have been wearing my Nano these last few months but I am going to change bags tomorrow as I feel like a change.

Well done on the dress liberty! The power of MNV.

It is a bit chilly but sunny today so I'm wearing my tile print skinnies (again) J Crew chambray shirt and cobalt Gigis.

shopafrolic · 22/08/2014 08:17

OK you too - hand over the Cèlines - you clearly don't deserve them Grin

Morning all - bit brisk isn't it? Socks back on today! The weather forecast said there will be a frost this weekend? That can't be summer over, surely? But the air smells different - that Autumn smell.
I forgot to say yesterday that I have tonsillitis so am going nowhere for the next few days as I don't want to infect anyone - hate being trapped indoors. Keep me company?

libertychick · 22/08/2014 08:20

Morning all. Have just dropped DH off at hospital for some knee surgery. So day at home for me with DD and popping in and out of hospital as it looks like the surgery won't happen till early afternoon so will go in a keep him company.

Wearing skinnies and tunic style black Cos top with silk back. The lovely Burberry trench and grey leather converse when out.
