MN Vogue - volume 44

[shopafrolic]

There's a chill in the air as we head towards Autumn. Some of us may have jetted off to sunnier spots, some of us are lounging on yachts (kind of) but we're still going strong 44 editions in. Come and join us for fun, friendly fashion and beauty chat. All welcome, any budget. :)
Continuing on from [[http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/style_and_beauty/2143017-MNV-vol-43?msgid=49041693#49041693 Vol 43)

I love to go to it with you one. My exams finish around about the 3rd week in April so anytime after that would be great.

excellent liberty I'm really excited about it. Once I've got my timetable etc, I'll know what weekends/weeks I'll be in London so we can sort something out

I may well be down for Easter and really fancy it too.
Great shopping Shop.
Am feeling uninspired so far but it is still August

So far I need:
Black suede courts, probably Florettes
Black lowish ankle boot to wear with dresses and skirts for work, prob R and B will need to save
A going out dress for Christmas dos fancy red or berry

Today I'm still swaying and fell out of my car in town plonker....grazed my knee, now I look like a 5yr old

My wonderful builder left milk skimmed and a loaf of bread in my fridge when I came home from holiday....I actually really love him
Both new bathrooms are nearly in. I love one but I think I've messed up the layout of the other and think it's too late to say damn

Good stuff one - just pm me once you have dates and Dry would be great if we could fit around your plans too. I love the V&A.

that you are still swaying Dry. I'm sure your bathroom is lovely. I often find with home stuff that you put so much effort into it that you end up feeling underwhelmed with the final result. Once it's completed and other people who haven't spent as much time thinking about it as you see it and comment on it you will feel differently. Your builder sounds great.

My list is:
Black knee high boots, hopefully these
Navy skirt - have a couple ordered from M&S and a few others lined up to check out next week
Black, grey or navy work trousers. Like the idea of a slouchy style. Waiting for Topaz to feed back on how washing the Next ones goes
Black cashmere sweater - I threw out my old Woolovers merino and cashmere one yesterday - it was ok but I don't love it so decided an upgrade is in order. I have ordered a V neck one and a crew neck from M&S in a couple of different sizes to try out.
Like Dry a Christmas going out dress. If the gorgeous DVF one I linked yesterday is still hanging around the Outnet in Oct no chance it could be the one...

And that will be it until the Christmas sales when I will be looking for:
2 work dresses
Navy blazer
Black ankle boots
Silk shirts/tops for work
Jeans - skinny indigo and maybe black

Will be interested to see your navy work skirts Liberty........ that someone has already mentioned Christmas sales

Sad news this afternoon- the Sam Edelman Ollie order has been cancelled. Had already planned what to wear them with this weekend .

Just love these boots, great colour.

One, I already have tickets for the exhibition otherwise I would come along. I think it will be brilliant. Have you found your coat yet?

My a/w list is similar to Dry and Lib, Christmas dress and black knee length boots and a new winter hat. Am also v tempted with a tartan scarf.

Nice boots Fedup. What a shame about the sandals.

BTW for those looking at tartan scarves I got this one in Edinburgh Woollen Mill last year. Great quality and I think it cost about £12. It's a small scarf so not suitable if you are looking for something big and drapey.

I'm still at shop and marsha would've loved to witness a live shopping exchange of them in the same room ,I really love you both. And yes ,I hereby declare isabel marant crisi boots the new MNV boots, as I think, marsha, shop, decam ,and me own them, and shop, I have the exact marant shirt,but In red, we are practically twins , but of course you are the tall willowy one, and I'm the short hot one

one I'm planing on going to the exhibition , but I still have no set date yet.

dry that's very sweet of the builder, and I agree with liberty, I'm sure its great, but you've reached a stage, where you feel,you could've done this,or added this instead of that etc, but be certain that your first choice is probably the best one,

My list: bought some stuff already but i still need
one more dress
, maybe two sweaters, but one will be later in sales,
a coat, again in sales,
a leather skirt,
scarf,

boots,sales,
wool cropped pants,in plack

Christmas party dress.

No, haven't found 'the one' yet fedup report back about the exhibition if you go before we do! I bet it's going to be fabulous

you'd be more than welcome to come with us Santa if everyone's dates match up

I like that scarf liberty but I already stole Dp's black, blue and red burberry check wool scarf

Everyone is so organised with their lists! And lots of great shopping!

My next purchase will probably be a dress for a do at the end of Sept. I haven't decided what style yet so haven't really started to look, although I was inspired by Shop's quest. I'm sure I can rely on help when the time comes!

I haven't washed the trousers yet Liberty, but will report when I do. Btw, I am very happy with the ghd air hair dryer, but can't say how it compares with similar ones.

Santa why can't I be hot too?
Marsha and I are lethal when tandem online shopping. In stores we tend to separate to cover more ground. In bars we are dangerous

at shop and marsha's shopping and drinking habits!

Topaz, I am only organised as they were items I didn't get last a/w and should have done! No idea what else I need would like at the moment.

Thanks for the hair dryer feedback Topaz. Now that the weather is getting colder I will be blow drying more often so I will keep it in mind.

at Shop.

The list has made me very focused, I need to do a wardrobe analysis more often. Have just done a job lot order of navy and black trousers in various sizes from the Outnet - MK and Tory Burch - v boring though, will link if any good.

Morning!

All this talk about wishlists has made me realise I need a good wardrobe clearout before I make mine.

I know I don't need any winter boots as I bought 2 pairs of Jalouses, my Choo bikers and Colts last winter but I might be tempted by the perfect grey boots. I will not be tempted to get the new MNV boots, oh no!

I probably do need some ls tees as my old ones will probably be too big and will be relegated to sleepwear.

I have my lovely Moncler coat from last winter but maybe I'm in the market for a more formal wintercoat. I do have a brown one but the colour really doesn't suit me.

I will have to be ruthless in my cull as I have a tendency to hold on to stuff 'just in case'

Morning!

Shop haha so true! Lethal!

I have a slight shopping hangover

Ok wish list.

Jumpers always good - would love a waffle type chunky knit- navy
Skirt - why oh why is it so hard, still need one
Peacoat - navy but definitely sales
Scarf - nice to get new colour, but muted not bright

That's not too bad and as usual I'll probably get distracted on the way!

Liberty looking forward to seeing your outnet links.

Linus me too, I really need to do a cull. I've been quite ruthless lately, but still I must do this.

Santa that is a fab list, it's made me put more on mine

Topaz I need a dress too, something for lunches and nights out. Not formal but nice.

Can anyone do collarless?

lovely Equipment silk shirt.

Tory Burch Emily Trousers

Tory Burch Violet Trousers

Michael Michael Kors straight legs

See told you it was boring . Fingers crossed one of them will fit and save me the hassle of an afternoon in John Lewis. I hate trying on trousers - my chunky thighs, low slung ass and hip/waist ratio combine to make it a misery.

A big box has arrived.....

i really like the michael kors trousers liberty

Live unwrap Shop?!

What is it shop? The dress? Surely not outnet already?!

I think this A/W I am focusing on accessories. Maybe 1 pair of warm trousers. But I want new gloves and a scarf (never had nice ones before really and I'm not a scarf person so just need 1) and some jewellery. I was going to save up for a burberry brit camel coat but now I'm not sure.

My outnet box (cape) has just arrived. R&B boots should be here later. Christmas has come early in the B.Waldorf household

And it's my last day of work for a bit today, I'm going on holiday tomorrow evening (after a spa day!), so great timing!

Yup - Matches order arrived super quick
boot love these are definitely staying, so comfy and slouchy and perfect - love, love, love
the shirt I like, but it is a bit of a departure for me. Need to try with my make up on as I look quite androgynous with the short hair too! Looks fab with denim and the boots. I know Linus thinks the colour is off though so will try again a bit later.
And I am gutted to say that this sweatshirt is too big. Which is such a shame. It is lovely and soft, snuggly, really long arms and some great detailing. Boo hiss. Liberty PM me if you want it......
