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. :)

Oops, I did mean to write One!

Not decided on boots yet, am still looking and will probably try to get to some shops for a trying on session. Also, am trying not to spend much for a month or so as we are still getting over the spendfest in the US!

Lovely Valentino dress Dry. Didn't realise you're not keen on fit and flare as I think they would suit you. The second reiss dress you linked is really lovely too.

Leather skirts - is it worth splurging on real leather? There look to be some good 'pleather' skirts around although nothing worse than feeling sweaty in plastic!

Morning Voguettes,

Hope everyone is well.

Back from a week of no internet and MN layout on phone has all changed, am lost!

Had fab hols, such a remote location at country house belonging to dh's family. Lounging in garden and beach with evening strolls and seafood dinners at old port, was bliss. The wit lace asos espadrilles got loads of use and were much admired. Back at pils for a week before school starts, going to the local town this afternoon. Not brilliant for shops but good for dc with petit bateau, jacadi, galleries Lafayette.

Have skimmed the thread and also the fab new bag thread. See that shop has been living up to her moniker with gorgeous boots, dress and indeed v cute new puppy.

Despite still being on summer mode I want marant boots for under £200 from matches too. Only 35s and 41s left though, grr. Off to look at knitwear before the extra 20% off ends Smile

LinusDKD · 28/08/2014 10:01

That Valentino dress!

OneLittleLady · 28/08/2014 12:55

fedup I've no special skincare at all. I use superdrugs Vit E intensive moisturiser and the same brand hot cloth cleanser and exfoliater. I occasionally use some elemis skin bliss capsules if I've got any (MIL often buys me elemis stuff) and thats about it. I always take my make up off at night, I never sleep in it. I really don't do anything fancy, I honestly thing I've just been lucky!

libertychick · 28/08/2014 13:51

Gah had to bring DH to physio apt and missed DHL...

libertychick · 28/08/2014 14:11

Having a quick look at the Asos sale - decided to filter dresses by 'workwear' this is one of the first ones that comes up in that category Confused Grin

shopafrolic · 28/08/2014 15:11

WERK! Grin

OneLittleLady · 28/08/2014 15:12

that's never filtered into workwear is it?! it's also awful btw

MarshaBrady · 28/08/2014 15:13

Oh Liberty really I can see you in the pink for work Grin

MarshaBrady · 28/08/2014 15:13

Mara welcome back! Holiday sounds lovely.

libertychick · 28/08/2014 16:00

I could have posted 10 others equally bad - I'm guessing an 18 yo male intern has the job of applying the filters Smile

shopafrolic · 28/08/2014 17:00

Mara hope you find something you like - glad hols was good and that I may have converted you into a dog lover :)
I have a photographer coming to our house tomorrow to take pics of DS and I - what to wear Hmm ?

libertychick · 28/08/2014 17:19

for Shop Grin

OneLittleLady · 28/08/2014 17:25

Mom jeans and a white shirt/tee. It's what every Mum has to wear for photoshoots shop Grin

Drywhiteplease · 28/08/2014 17:25

BLAIR BLAIR hope I'm not too late.....just realised I missed all the dress links you put on for me......so sorry. I'm going to have a good look now. Feel terribly rude after all your trouble Sad hope you get this before you go off or I'll feel bad until you get back.
Off to have a look now.

Scrap the no fit and flare .....I do like them but not skater style i.e too short

MarshaBrady · 28/08/2014 17:26

Hang on Shop, photoshoot? Spill!

Drywhiteplease · 28/08/2014 17:34

this is my favourite. Love it.
The plum Zarita is divine, I'd save up for that ...BUT....my bf has it in navy and I keep seeing them and would worry about bumping into someone wearing it. Sad

Just painting toes....feels a bit too early to ditch the bright summer colours, but blues and browns are calling.

Out with a big group of girlfriends tonight. V informal right, me? Never knowingly underdressed so far I've got my Next block heeled sandals out Hmm........

Drywhiteplease · 28/08/2014 17:50

Shop I picture you reclining on a chaise longue wearing a wafty evening dress having pushed DS out of the way Grin

shopafrolic · 28/08/2014 18:14

LOL Dry
One you know I can't do white next to my face Grin
Marsha well you know how I'm like totally famous right? We have a deal with Hello magazine (bit embarrassing really), and they are coming to the house to take pics. I've had a team of people dressing the rooms all day - exhausted.com

Dry don't fret Grin I'm still here, just. Glad you like at least 1 dress! We are off in about 15 mins. Had a lovely day at the spa with my mum and 2 sisters but then all the rushing around at home has given me a headache.

Welcome back mara, it sounds divine!

Waves to everyone else, hoping I will be able to grab some wifi in a cafe somewhere but otherwise see you in 12 days Wine

MarshaBrady · 28/08/2014 18:17

I know that Shop but people here don't. Shock

Grin
shopafrolic · 28/08/2014 18:21

Happy holidays Blair

LinusDKD · 28/08/2014 18:47

Have a great holiday Blair!

I ordered some tees in the Shopbop sale this week and they arrived today but I'm not happy with either of them.

The sl one looks nothing like colour in the picture and the ls one has a hole where one of the seams of the shoulder has come loose.

Sigh, will have to e-mail them about the hole. Hope their CS is as good as their speedy delivery.

Drywhiteplease · 28/08/2014 19:27

Phew blair ....have a great break.
Shop,Hello you say? Why the heck haven't you invited me? Life time ambition Grin

Right, I'm copying this chic lady....Oasis skinny Cherry jean in khaki, black old needs replacing if I could find one, pref merino, or cotton, not specific am iGrin these ....wish I had this but the Disco will do.

LinusDKD · 28/08/2014 19:43

Have fun dry! I badly need a girls' night out!
