Stokey welcome back!

Novice how was ds after school? Feels horrible when they wail Sad

Dry why does my mind go to incredibly random things when I see someone's post has been withdrawn Grin

Love your link and feedback post Liberty it's great when people do that, I forget what everyone orders!

OneLittleLady · 01/09/2014 19:36

I love that linus might have to go on the ever growing wishlist

LinusDKD · 01/09/2014 20:03

peacoat for marsha

LinusDKD · 01/09/2014 20:09

I tried this in black today and whilst I liked the style I found the fabric way too scratchy.

Such a shame but I remember trying on another IM étoile jacket last winter and I had the same problem.

BrandyAlexander · 01/09/2014 20:10

Hi all! Ds was fine when we picked him up. Tired but fine. Dh had got him a small toy (and dd too) to say well done for going. I think dh trying to reduce chances of a wail tomorrow when I do the drop off alone.Hmm No chance!

Who linked the Burberry trench? I have looked on website but not sure which one you mean?

Dry what did you say?!!Wink

BrandyAlexander · 01/09/2014 20:10

Damn meant to say welcome back to Stokey!Smile

LinusDKD · 01/09/2014 20:13

trench I linked this one. Very similar to mine but mine has a hood.

LinusDKD · 01/09/2014 20:14

with a hood

BrandyAlexander · 01/09/2014 20:38

OMG, how did I miss that link! It's gorgeous! I went straight to buy and they don't have my size!!! I love that colour.Envy

LinusDKD · 01/09/2014 20:57

Oh no! Can you get to a Burberry shop? Or call them?

QueenCardigan · 01/09/2014 21:30

I love these orla keily shoes

libertychick · 01/09/2014 22:10

Linus I love that jacket in the red. What a shame it's scratchy.

Novice I hope you can track down that trench, really perfect for you.

QueenC I'm not mad about those shoes, I like the shape and I think it would really suit your style but I think I'd prefer them to either be in matt leather or else in patent but without the dotty trim IYSWIM.

OneLittleLady · 01/09/2014 22:13

I love This dress

I like the shoes QueenC

libertychick · 01/09/2014 22:47

Great dress One!

Sleepwhenidie · 01/09/2014 22:53

Oh One you would look fab in that dress - so you!

Beautiful colour IM jacket Linus - not sure about the cut though.

Fabulous trench.....

Stokey my DC's haven't ever had a uniform (DS1 has a very relaxed one). Boys not a problem and DD not often but when she has decided to be tricky I give her a choice of 2 or three outfits or staying in PJ's (I mean it Smile).

MarshaBrady · 01/09/2014 22:54

That is a great dress.

LinusDKD · 02/09/2014 07:04

Morning!

I can really see you in that dress one.

Not keen on the shoes queenc. They look a bit clunky to me.

Hope the weather is better in the UK! Looks like it's going to be a nice day here.

LinusDKD · 02/09/2014 09:35

marsha pm!

MarshaBrady · 02/09/2014 09:45

Thank you! Going for a look.

Stokey · 02/09/2014 10:31

I love that Burberry trench Linus, stunning.

And lovely J-Crew peacoat - you're on fire.

I need a new coat this year, I haven't bought one since 2011. But sadly just been given notice on my work contract at end of October so am on constrained spending until I find a new job Sad

LinusDKD · 02/09/2014 10:39

Oh no stokey! (((Hugs)))

maradesbois · 02/09/2014 10:43

Morning all,

It's been so long since I've been on Vogue it doesn't even come up on my 'I'm on' so time to rectify.

Hugs to Novice and others with school starters. I need to go out and get a few last minute bits today then sew in all the bloody labels.

QueenC not a fan of those shoes either but maybe just as not a fan of OK in general.

Our journey home started off civilised then quickly degenerated. Got home in the early hours of the morning with a grumpy three year old refusing to walk and far too much luggage to manage on my own while trying to cajole him into walking. A lovely lady helped me get our bags off the plane as I was waking him up, couldn't even talk to her properly as felt tears welling up about her being so nice! In the cab ds told me I was not a nice mummy Sad. Life is a lot more difficult than I expected with our little family being separated due to dh's new job and constant travel. Can't wait until we're all settled and together in London.

Looks like there's good stuff on the Outnet today but too much to do and my wallet is remaining firmly closed.

OneLittleLady · 02/09/2014 10:44

Oh no Stokey I hope you find something quickly Thanks

maradesbois · 02/09/2014 10:53

Stokey glad you enjoyed your hols but so sorry about your job. Hope you find a new contract soon.

Btw meant to say am well up for MNV evening do in Dec. Weekend of 13 or earlier would suit me better, will have too much Christmas stuff going on the following one. I vote we put Marsha in charge of venue as she seems very adept at sipping fizz in the smarter establishments of the capital whilst keeping her G Rossi suede pumps pristine! Grin.

libertychick · 02/09/2014 12:28

Good luck with job hunting Stokey. I don't have work sorted yet for after end Oct but will start worrying about it in a few weeks Smile I hope something good comes up for you.

Mara sorry to hear you had such a difficult journey - early hours are not good for the little ones. I am sure DS thinks you are a lovely mummy today - they are fickle little sods at that age Smile

The Outnet are going to have me marked down as a deranged customer - I haven't been able to get it out of my head and when I checked today the DVF dress] was still there and only one left in my size so I took a deep breath hit the order button Shock and [[http://www.theoutnet.com/en-GB/product/M-Missoni/Wool-blend-mini-skirt/502039 this Missoni skirt also fell into my basket - I'm now having the post shopping nervy, anxious thing that Marsha gets Grin

Needless to say, boots and trousers will have to wait....
