MarshaBrady · 19/09/2014 19:46

Had to get on Mac for the links.

Dry brilliant about the skirt!

Santa love all that, really really nice. I like the loafers!

Novice love the watch, I've opened too many links was it the flats giving you hell?

Blair yes! Perfect!

MarshaBrady · 19/09/2014 19:46

Although, maybe you would get more out of the chess boots.

MarshaBrady · 19/09/2014 19:47

Shop I do believe we did, but I can't remember the results Grin

GeorginaWorsley · 19/09/2014 20:04

Pared down elegance?Wink

maradesbois · 19/09/2014 20:13

Marsha KEEP!

blair that Monique L is exactly the look I meant for you ie slim fitted but not tight tight mermaid tail or too structured. Nor too floaty like a Pre-Raphaelite maiden (3rd pic).

Santa wow, impressive shopping. Love the loafers. Keep them and get the Marant chess boots too, you know you want to.

Dry am v proud that my find was 'the one'. Feel like a thread veteran now!

Linus I love jacadi! There's one in London now but think ££ more expensive than in France so will wait until next there.

Well didn't make it to dvf to try on Zarita dress, hopeful can get away on my own for a bit tomorrow when dh back from a business trip. Ds was a bit of a nightmare but to be fair I did have to take him to goyard where was making enquiries for a gift for dh. It took ages, he was playing with his cars and chatting with Malaysian tourists quite happily then yelled to me across the store 'I need a wee and a poo RIGHT NOW!' Blush. We got access to the special Goyard bathroom though. Couldn't face any more shops so we went for ice cream and to the park instead.

santamarianovella · 19/09/2014 20:16

Phew! That's good to know,

dry yay !!!

karbea no, they look and fit like just crisi, and you can slouch them or wear them tall,

linus I asked about the shirt ,hoping to take a few pics, incase you wanted to order it, and have a better look , but they didn't even know what I was talking about, and had to show them the Nap link!

one enjoy your weekend,

You are all right, think will take them back, and would try to find other one elsewhere,

Very elegant georgina,

maradesbois · 19/09/2014 20:18

Btw Novice glad you've recovered Grin. Flat shoes killing your feet is rubbish though. Gorgeous watch.

GeorginaWorsley · 19/09/2014 20:19

Thankyou santa
Felt good,anyway!
Smile

OneLittleLady · 19/09/2014 21:17

hello all!!!omg,liberty!!the perfumes,the patterns,the everything.that much texture and pattern must mean its my spiritual home,right!?! i think my money my also have found its home in the beauty hall.Grin Grin

i am exhausted though,its been a very long day

Karbea · 19/09/2014 22:19

Just back from a curry with dh, took the 2.55 out for an outing, probably deserves to go somewhere nicer but hey ho!

santa ooo I'm tempted then! I wonder if they are comfy. I wore my wedge ankle boots tonight, which are super comfy.

QueenCardigan · 20/09/2014 08:59

I went out for a curry with dh too. Sadly I don't have a 2.55. Wine, baileys and then cocktails. My. Head. Hurts.

I think blair is right. I never think people have clown feet.

Great shopping santa. I like the loafers and agree with mara, get the boots too.

BrandyAlexander · 20/09/2014 09:01

Oh goodness QueenC. I read wine, baileys and cocktails and my head immediately hurt too!Brew This morning.

OneLittleLady · 20/09/2014 09:18

morning all!ooh queencmy head would hurt too after all that!

ive missed dp so much Sad im going to hate going home tomorrow Sad

shopafrolic · 20/09/2014 09:43

QueenC oh no! Haven't I told you not to mix grape and grain!!!!Grin

LinusDKD · 20/09/2014 10:48

Morning!

Now I want a curry too! (It's really hard to find a nice curry here though)

And I want a 2.55 but my 2.55 fund is not growing as I get distracted by other pretty things. Am only halfway there, Sad

I will pass on the Baileys though, yuk!

one I agree with shop enjoy today and don't think about tomorrow! I have to tell myself the same thing when DH tells me about his upcoming travels, otherwise I would be permanently miserable as he travels so much.

Talking about traveling, there is a big chance that I am going to NY for a few days in October. DH has a conference and some meetings there so I am going to join him for a long weekend. Yay!

BrandyAlexander · 20/09/2014 12:00

I have finally picked up my RB biker boots. I may have cringed a little when I walked into RB and 2 different sales assistants said "hello Novice how are you? Haven't seen you for a while?" and said "how is ds?". I think I might shoo there a lot. Envy anyway I picked some new shoes as well. Sorry can't seem to find square brackets on my android! Blush www.russellandbromley.co.uk/dress-flats/smartie/invt/122959

i am only at softplay (ds has abandonned me!) but I love my outfit today. J crew bejewelled baseball tee with gap always skinny jeans. my new watch is much better with casual outfits. (Santa is right the padlock was annoying me. i think its because I average about 10 meetings a day and it's important to be able to see my watch v subtly so I can wrap things up in good order.) anyway also got my aspinal biker bag, dune flats and swarovski crystal moon ring plus bracelet. carrying my moschino beige jacket (an amazing tkmaxx bargain from about 8 years ago!) as it's too hot.

last thing, One, I have done the long distance relationship thing twice (including transatlantic) and it is hard (although ripping dh's clothes when I saw him was the fun bit!Wink ) . But listen to your Auntie Shop as she's right. enjoy your time together as otherwise afterwards you will regret not being in the moment. Have a great weekend. x

Drywhiteplease · 20/09/2014 12:21

linus NY is v exciting. Would love to go.
novice my first thought was " how do they know your MN name?" Blush douh < slaps head>
Soft play, I remember those days < shudders>

QueenCardigan · 20/09/2014 13:41

I've just spent the morning at a birthday party with dd clinging to me and not wanting to join in. Almost as painful as soft play.

linus v jealous. Would love to go to NY again. Dh is going to Boston in November and would love to join him but sadly dm can't take the time off work to babysit. On the plus side though he does normally visit Tiffanys whilst he's there.

Karbea · 20/09/2014 14:05

Sorry wasn't bragging (2.55) more a reference to the bag thread and not using the bags I have.

MarshaBrady · 20/09/2014 14:45

Karbea it's all fab here! Curry and Chanel, love it.

Linus lucky lucky. New York in Oct will be amazing.

Tiffany in Boston sounds good QueenC

A good weekend here. Sport and relaxing doing stuff I love. After a hectic 4 month contract, it's very nice.
