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. :)

Will slow down when all the big discounts stop!

Well done on the shoot, sounds fun.

MarshaBrady · 29/08/2014 17:44

I couldn't do brogues, I feel funny in them. I do love them on someone with the right style though.

libertychick · 29/08/2014 20:38

Nice one Marsha. Great spotting something you have already seen and know you liked. It is distinctive but in a good way - as you say, one that you will have to try and see. I really love the Equipment one - so, so tempted to order it but I do have enough knits and it would eat into the boot fund.

MarshaBrady · 29/08/2014 20:41

It might be a bit much. But for some reason I remembered seeing it way back when and fainting at the price.

The Equipment is lovely. But yes good one on saving for what you really want. I feel like I need an actual skirt to go with it. I have so many jumpers, and shoes now I need something other than skinnies to wear in the middle of the two.

OneLittleLady · 29/08/2014 20:42

I think I want some brogues but I'm not really sure if they'll work for me in say, standard black. I think I'd have to have something a bit 'funkier' to go with my usual jumble sale style outfits Grin

MarshaBrady · 29/08/2014 20:45

How about doc marten style ones with the thicker soles One? Bit less classic.

MarshaBrady · 29/08/2014 20:46

Actually does that mean they stop being Brogues. No idea!

libertychick · 29/08/2014 20:53

These ones look great one. A bit different and look very comfy.

santamarianovella · 29/08/2014 21:07

No, I could never do brogues too,

Great shopping marsha

liberty will you keep anything from your outnet order?

dry I want cropped trousers too,have something specific in mind but haven't seen anything I like

Big welcome back to sleep and mara

And have fab time blair

OneLittleLady · 29/08/2014 21:14

ooh, they do look quite good liberty

MarshaBrady · 29/08/2014 21:17

Thanks Santa and welcome back Sleep!

libertychick · 29/08/2014 21:19

Not keeping any of the trousers Santa, I have had them picked up by DHL already . I really hope the MIH shirt and Z&V top are keepers but won't be at home tomorrow so will get them on Monday at earliest. Still waiting for the Acne trousers from Matches.

We are spending the weekend staying in central London to celebrate DH's birthday so hoping get into some real shops. Have my eye on some trousers in Jigsaw and I'd like to get into R&B to try on boots.

maradesbois · 29/08/2014 22:58

Marsha congratulations on your most efficient August jumper shopping! Love both the equipment and jw Anderson. Even better that you coveted it fp.

Liberty have a lovely weekend and hope the rest of your orders are keepers. I really need trousers & jeans for a/w too, would also like to get a couple of equipment silk shirts. Don't need knitwear either but want more due to all the great links on here.

I love brogues, am neither cool enough nor inclined to carry them of in a hipster way but keep them classic and not too masculine with mini and opaques. Have top right Crockett & Jones ones in this pic in burgundy with navy ribbon laces & would like another pair in black. Dh loves them Wink.

Drywhiteplease · 29/08/2014 22:59

Love the sweater Marsha
linus like the "boyish not masculine" .....exactly
Righto, next do is a poolside BBQ tomorrow. I will NOT be swimming over 25 degrees to get me in water only but what on earth will I wear? Not boiling. No jeans. Think perhaps 7/8 trs, lace shell and sandals.....or pencil skirt, silver flat sling backs and grey TT shirt combo.
Sometimes clothes exhaust me.Grin I have major problems don't i?

maradesbois · 29/08/2014 23:02

Don't think that link worked. Try again

maradesbois · 29/08/2014 23:04

Dry your first option sounds good for BBQ.

One love those brogues Liberty posted for you.

libertychick · 29/08/2014 23:08

I know Dry it's so difficult sometimes Wink

I like the sound of 7/8 trs for a poolside BBQ.

Your brogue link doesn't work for me Mara but burgundy with navy laces sound lovely.

libertychick · 29/08/2014 23:10

Ah I see them now, they are really nice Mara.

MarshaBrady · 30/08/2014 08:25

Argh I keep forgetting I'm at Aveda today for hair. Going to check out some stores whilst in town.

Would love to look at Matches for the seasonal swoon fest.

QueenCardigan · 30/08/2014 08:38

Morning! Had the most fantastic holiday. And I managed to not check in with all as promised. Will try and catch up a bit now. I made the mistake last night of reading that bag thread and then lost the will to live.

Drywhiteplease · 30/08/2014 08:48

Thanks mara and liberty will go with the 7/8, lace shell, sandal option.
Mara I really like those brogues???the ribbon laces feminize (Sp ?) them

QueenCardigan · 30/08/2014 08:54

Just had a quick skim back. Just to add to the conversation I can't do brogues either although I love them especially in a slightly quirky way with a tea dress and cardi. Actually one I could imagine you wearing them like that.
I haven't opened all the links but did look at your jumper marsha. Fab discount.
Thanks for all the compliments about the ice bucket challenge Blush. I nearly nominated shop and dry but thought you'd kill me Grin.
Apparently it's going to be 25 degrees next week....

OneLittleLady · 30/08/2014 08:59

Welcome home QueenC yes, the tea dress and brogues look is probably what I'd go for if I decide to get some.

Drywhiteplease · 30/08/2014 11:56

Good job you didn't queenC I couldn't do it thinks of hair Grin iced water is so not me! I'll just continue sponsoring others to do it party pooper

QueenCardigan · 30/08/2014 14:46

I did think of the hair dry which is why I didn't nominate you!

I ordered this blouse before I went away and I love it. I know it's another navy blouse but I don't actually have a long sleeved one!

Also bought barry m navy.
