Mumsnet Vogue - volume 45

[shopafrolic]

Here we go again. More fashion and beauty chat as we head into Autumn. The perfect boot hunt is on! All welcome, whatever your budget - we don't bite.
Continuing on from here

Love the Valentino red "new Disco" bag and the Burberry you linked for Shop too. The T Mellon halter neck dress is lovely, is very me. I agree QueenC I look forward to your Sunday morning links as much as reading the Sunday supplements .
Fedup despite my name I actually love most reds too, ESP Chillean, but they give me monster hangovers. I ADORE a heavy red with a very smelly cheeseboard....that is my ultimate meal, forget the sweet stuff, give me a fantastic cheese board any day

I love those links! I'd love to get a hat this aw but I'd have no idea which one or how to style it.
Love Boodles Blossom.

fedup I really like those boots actually. But m&s should be shot got that styling!

Dry well done on finding your perfecr leather skirt, the hunt is finally over. Hope you had a lovely evening last night.

Fedup, my place of work is smart casual, plus it’s a part time job so won’t need to buy too much but am already looking at items to smarten up my casual wardrobe. You're right about the boots, they have styled them pretty badly haven't they?

Queen, how come you are returning the shoe boots? Are they not right for you? I picked mine up yesterday but still haven’t tried them on yet. In answer to your question my work life is quite complicated, I am mostly a SAHM but with 3 part time jobs. I love your Sunday morning links especially the Valentino bag

Karbea, love the sound of curry and Chanel. I too am envious of your bag

Linus lovely classic Manolos, they are gorgeous. Am very envious about your NY trip, a visit to Madewell would be on my list too.

Novice I bet you were the best dressed mum at soft play

Shop am very at your babysitter’s rate, I’d be every weekend, my babysitter charges a lot more but she used to work at dc pre-school so am comfortable with her doing the job.

Mara, very elegant Zarita dresses, will you keep both? Hope you see dh today and have a lovely day as a family.

One what a lovely sweet dp you have, very thoughtful. Hope you enjoy your day together today, next weekend will come around very quickl especially as you have the perfect distraction – uni

Blair, was it this weekend you were going to a wedding show?

Marsha is the hunt for the perfect navy pea coat still on? Loved the one Queen linked.

Amber you must have a secret twin!

Where is Liberty, haven’t seen her for ages on here,

Loved the Saturday night drunken love-ins

I’ve found my pleather skirt, ordered it from here

Am currently trying the buy 2 cardigans, ,

Karbea totally agree! I will order both boots and hopefully style them a little better.

I wear hats all winter and tend to go for a cloche or trilby style - the ted baker hat Queen linked is lovely.

Dry am with you on the cheese and wine. Usually a very dry Chardonnay and a very strong, eye wateringly sharp cheddar.

fedup what's the weather like in NY in October? I went last year but in July but luckily it wasn't too hot then.

A trip to Sephora is also on my list as I reas a lot of beauty blogs and they always keep going on about that store.

Oooh Fedup for me a full bodied red , (Bordeaux, Rioja or Cab Sauv from Chile) and a Brie de Meaux , Epoisses and Saint Agur that have sweated out of the fridge and contaminated the house for a few hours so they're escaping served with Nairn oatcakes...... Up here they served Fruit cake and Wensleydale (I love it with cheddar) it's odd at first but delicious.

Linus we went the last week in October and the weather was typically autumnal. It was generally sunny but chilly although a couple of days were really warm. Layering is the way to go I think. I took a biker jacket which was fine and just added hat, gloves and scarf as needed.

Dry I just love dm's homemade fruit cake with cheddar, Wensleydale, Cheshire or Lancashire cheese. Oh and Wensleydale cheese on toast with Worcestershire sauce. Yum

Ok, am getting up now to make cakes...

Morning all! Love that Blossom bracelet QueenC, if only it would get into dh's sub-consciousness before Xmas.

Linus, NY is quite mild in October, that's when the weather starts turning and getting autumnal so it's not too warm (like now, where it's usually about 25 degrees C) but more like (16/17 degrees).

Sephora is my absolute must go to store for every single trip to the US. if you have time and love their products, head over to Khiels on Third Street. It's the original store and the best one. The samples you get are jaw dropping.

Everyone rushes to Bloomingales, but I always found it a pain (you're either an Upper Eastside person or you're not) and nothing special but I prefer Saks Fifth Avenue.

I love the Sunday morning QueenC link fest too. That and the ST Style plus espresso, sunshine and our refreshing morning run and I'm super happy.

The peacoat is lovely and the ST Style is making me want a Saint Laurent bag.

I mean very happy, not sure I can quite do all super

Lol Dry, dh was given a cheese board at work instead of a birthday cake. Because he prefers it too. Made me laugh.

So glad you all like my links. I look forward to getting up and lazing around on the iPad doing them. It's almost as fun as real shopping.

betty I returned the boots because they didn't really work with how I wanted to wear them. I wanted them for nights out with jeans. I might go for proper heeled ankle boots if I can find some cheap enough.

Love all the links, and love all the Saturday night drunk posts, we love you too fedup

linus that sounds fab, and madewell AW stuff looks really nice,

shop AB working? Hope you are feeling better

queen I was at bday party yesterday with dd too, She climbed and sat on my lap for like 10 min before joining the other kids, not fun at all!

I've decided to return the Chloe loafers,it's just not a wise purchase, and I've shown them to dh when he came home last night, and he killed the idea of me ever owning loafers

queenC these boots are my mid height shoe boots. I wear them with slim bf jeans and skinnies. The look good with dresses and skirts.
I love these were in You mag last week and again looking great on a model this week. Tempted.

I have just bought what might possibly go down as the weirdest buy ever! I was on the gap website buying clothes for dd. I double checked the size chart for year as she's tall (yes, she's genetically mine!). Anyway I noticed on the size chart that their 13yo sizes are my size. So I chucked in a top and 2 pairs of jeans leggings into the basket. The jeans are £8.99 on sale. The same adult jeans are £38! They are being delivered. No one will know!.

Love it novice! Jeans are jeans.

santa what did your DH say? I hate it when men do that.

betty I think liberty is v v busy with work.

mara good one on the Zaritas.

Wedding fair was fun, I got a couple of new ideas and bags and bags full of leaflets and magazines. My lovely friends went around picking up freebies for me while I entered every competition going. We were there from 11am-1pm then we went for lunch and ended up staying out until 10, MU-style

Blair that sounds like a fabulous day. Keep us posted with your ideas.
Novice good buy.

on the coach home.im not even ashamed to admit i cried when leaving.waiting to leave watford gap services now.yy amber has a secret twin,i wonder if she follows the blog

dp is going to bring my guitar home for me when he comes up either this coming weekend or the next.i couldnt manage it myself.

for one.
novice I'd do the same if I were as petite as you!

What a lovely DP you have one! And (((hugs))) for the tears. DH is going to be gone a lot next week and the following weeks and I am not looking forward to it.

santa oh no, I loved those Chloé loafers. What does your DH have against them?

novice I can get away with buying a hoody from the teenage boy range at H&M but I doubt if I could do the same with trousers. Lenght wise wouldn't be a problem as I am short but my hips and thighs would not cooperate.

blair sounds like you had a great time!

Amber!!!!' You're back blogging YEY here and, am I imagining it! or did you mention me? feel very special . Outfit pics and everything.....I'm happy.

How cool is the bf jean,jumper and shirt,pointy shoe outfit I love it. Could see you Amber working this look with your lovely rockstuds.

" Granny shoes", "turn off shoes,""

"Is this a new birth control method? Because it's working!"
alright alright! I got it they are fugly!! Was [mad] all day, he wouldn't let it go!! He kept bringing it up all day,

I'm married to the king of one liners ,

So tomorrow they go back and will use store credit for chess, will get them beginning of oct,

Ouch santa that's harsh!
