Blair going off on a fizz tangent there's a lovely sparkling wine from the Loire valley called triple zero. Dh 'discovered' it on his stag do and now we always have some in.

Karbea welcome!

AmberNectarine · 18/09/2014 21:38

Evening all

Blair depends if you want to lose a few lbs... Wink

Sounds like a great outfit dry, have fun!

I've been quite enjoying TK too latterly mara - lots of Marni in ours atm.

Not much exciting purchasing going on here - am saving for 50-50s. Did buy a couple of bits in the Sweaty Betty sale though - I find new exercise gear very motivating, plus I need to be looking sharp on the SR Wink

AmberNectarine · 18/09/2014 21:39

Oh and welcome newbies.

And novice pint of water and two paracetamol when you get in...

Fedupnagging · 18/09/2014 21:39

Saw these last weekend. Lovely soft leather but £££'s.

Really love the colour of this jacket. I think it is SoYo who has some muba jackets.

Really must go and read my book....

OneLittleLady · 18/09/2014 21:40

Welcome karbea

I forgot to say, I actually found some jeans that fit. From dorothy perkins. Perfect shape and rise for me at the moment and they weren't expensive so I don't feel bad about buying a couple of pairs to see me through the next few months

Karbea · 18/09/2014 21:41

marsha yes! I'm sure I've popped in here before ;)
blair Not really sure when the spending ban ends... Yes I'm on Pin, but tend to Pin interior things rather than fashion, although maybe I should!

I've a few things on my list for when I can start spending, a strappy pair of black heels, black boots, black blazer to wear with jeans...

QueenCardigan · 18/09/2014 21:42

Grin at novice. Which shoes have caused you to drink so much?
mara yes I did get them added them in to an order for bedside table for dd. I like them more now that I've had a play so I think they're keepers.
Welcome karbea

QueenCardigan · 18/09/2014 21:43

one you presumably get nus discount at dp too?

OneLittleLady · 18/09/2014 21:51

I do indeed QueenC yay for discounts Grin

santamarianovella · 18/09/2014 21:53

karbea ! Yes from the bag threads,welcome! You've reached your destination, make yourself comfortable,

That's great one Smile

MarshaBrady · 18/09/2014 21:54

Amber they sound fab. Which colour are you going for the burgundy?

Awks meant to say, love that dress, hope you have a fun night.

Novice your post reminds me of how I feel in the taxi some times after a night out. Bleary!

I am keeping the pistols, finally made the decision.

MarshaBrady · 18/09/2014 21:55

Ha at you've reached your destination. Exacto

maradesbois · 18/09/2014 21:59

Ah, that reminds me Santa speaking of bag threads I saw a woman in town today carrying a cobalt birkin. Was debating to myself if real and thought probably not but Santa would probably know the production stats!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 18/09/2014 22:10

mara that does sound lovely, can you buy it in the UK? Loire valley stag do sounds v. civilised Grin We got a case from here, it is a bit touristy but the tour was fun!

Amber I have a strong constitution! (Now I've said that I'm bound to get ill)

Gorgeous leather links fedup.

Karbea · 18/09/2014 22:14

santa inevitable wasn't it! I dug out my Prada yesterday, I'm trying much harder to use more of my bags since that thread although my little Chloe is still overused

matsha I'm really thinking of buying another pair of Pistols, although I hate the thought of buying a pair of boots the same as a pair I already own :/

mara I wonder if that lady -on the bag thread-- ever found out/realised that her bag was fake...

bettykt · 18/09/2014 23:15

Hello am back from a busy few days, got the job, yeaaay, thank you for you good luck messages Thanks

Welcome to Karbea and Georgina

Have only had a quick read back, Queen I've ordered those shoe boots in black patent, I originally bought them in black suede, they were super comfortable, I returned them and bought the ones Shop linked from M&S lovely boots but too tight and a bit too high for work so re-ordered the Next ones, hopefully they should arrive tomorrow, have you bought yours?

Bought dvf bentley dress for a night out, have tried it on but am a bit undecided, will have another try on and will then decide whether to keep or return it. If I return it I think I want a black pleather midi skirt, any ideas on where I should start looking?

Drywhiteplease · 18/09/2014 23:30

QueenC yes, I turned them up with my Pettys, but I wear my jimmies turned up anyway because they're a bit long.

QueenCardigan · 19/09/2014 07:05

Congrats on the job betty. Yes I bought the next ones. What do you plan on wearing them with? Love the dvf.

shopafrolic · 19/09/2014 08:19

Morning all. Love a drunk Novice post - always makes me :)
One my dental work is for periodontal disease so lots of gum stuff to stop my teeth falling out in 10 years attractive Don't smoke and do drugs when you're young kids just saying
Betty I never bought the M&S boots as I'm not sure when I would wear them but I do love them, shame they weren't right but glad you found a good pair
Karbea welcome. Lovely to have you here.
Love the fridge chat. Mine has 4 bottles of wine in it and 2 of prosecco, some hummus, cheese, olives, milk, a couple of onions and an out of date bag of salad. I feel Ocado calling. Must stop these ABs soon so I can drink the wine!
Good to see you Amber - I am so jealous so Envy that everyone else has a fab TK Maxx when mine is clearly shite

LinusDKD · 19/09/2014 08:37

Morning!

Well done on the job bettyk!

Welcome karbea.

novice how are you feeling today? Grin

one glad you found some nice jeans.

marsha good call on the Pistols, you will wear them lots once the weather gets colder.

Going into town in a minute to buy a wintercoat for DD and I might do a little shopping for myself. Wink

QueenCardigan · 19/09/2014 09:41

shop my two tk max are shite too.

Why did I think it was a good idea to wear new boots on a 2km school run Hmm.
amber are you enjoying life as a sahm?

So, shoe boots. What does one wear with them? Clearly not jeans if net a porter and pin are anything to go by. If you wear rolled up jeans out do you all just wear court type shoes?

Sleepwhenidie · 19/09/2014 09:48

Well done Betty [bubbles]

If anyone is in Central London there's a Temperley London sample sale on today....the Music Room, 26 South Molton Lane.
