Karbea I will be paying £110 for a one to one colour session at my home.
Waves again to Topaz
Blair awesome outfit. I love a track day. Silverstone is greatcoat race around.
So the HoC lady called me and we had a good long chat. She is going to come to my house for a one to one session. Already during the course of our discussion she says it sounds unlikely that I am an Autumn but obviously the truth will be in the draping! I've felt so happy today in my black and red outfit...... We'll see.
One I'm so excited for you at the moment. Good times for you I think. :)
Dry coat looks perfect for you - fab neighbour

Thank you shop things definitely seem to have taken a turn for the better Smile

Just a quick post before I go to bed, Shop what a quandary you've been left in. You know you suit autumn colours maybe use it as an excuse to be able to buy more clothes in different colours and widen the colour scheme in your wardrobe.

I've never been diagnosed, I wear gold and silver jewellery and both suit, I've tried online analysis but I think I'm quite difficult to diagnose. I do stay away from pastels though as they do nothing for me.

Stokey I hope dd feels better soon, bless her. If she really doesn't take to nursery maybe go back to her being with the nanny.

Big welcome back to Topaz

Off to bedfordshire now.

shopafrolic · 24/09/2014 23:14

For a minute I thought you actually meant Bedfordshire betty - I was going to tell you to wave as you drove past! Grin - night!

Morning!

dry I saw that you had repinned shop's deep winter palette and, you're right, I love a lot of those colours.

I think I'm more of a winter (never been diagnosed though) but I can wear ivories and teals and gold jewelry as well.

Beiges, browns, khakis and earthy colours in general wash me out.

Great coat find btw! I would like a new dressy winter coat as my only one is brown and I haven't worn it for years. Still on the hunt for a cobalt one that is not too £££ and fits me.

one sounds like you're having fun and it's great you're making friends already.

stokey it is heartbreaking when they cry at drop off but as she's not feeling well it's probably mostly that.

shop I hope the HoC consultant can put your mind at rest re. your colours

LinusDKD · 25/09/2014 07:45

Oh and hopefully I love those ombré colours but it might require a lot of styling and products to keep it looking nice.

I love bold haircolours (not brave enough myself) but I hate it when they look faded and messy.

Stokey · 25/09/2014 09:32

Thanks for the support for DD ladies, she was a bit miserable this morning too when I left her with the nanny and DD1 but she's definitely got a bit of a cold. Day off tomorrow though so she should be fine by next week.

Welcome back Topaz I'm in opaques and Chelsea boots today and a cashmere jumper, I'm cold! On the way in this morning, I realised that I'm no longer longing for slippers and a trenchcoat, it's got cold enough for me to be thinking of new boots and a winter coat.

One I have Clarks brogues and they're super comfy.

And good news on the HOC booking Shop , you definitely need a third opinion.

shopafrolic · 25/09/2014 09:33

Morning all - it's so cold first thing here. I wore black TS Leighs, Pistols, grey Uniqlo sweatshirt and dodgy imported tartan scarf with red Gracie. I am so glad I hung onto the Gracie, she is perfect for keys and phone on the school run. It's like I've found a new love! :)

Hi, I need to catch up as usual but just a quick post to say hi, I am just enjoying a quiet coffee in the sunshine before accompanying school trip to the British Museum . Am finally wearing bobbly Paul & Joe jumper ignores fact I'm a bit hot

shop what a trauma! You look great in your clothes now though, try and think of it as getting more freedom with colour!

Stokey I hope dd is better soon Smile

santamarianovella · 25/09/2014 15:52

its oh so quiet...sh sh... Its oh so still

Where is everyone today Grin

Guess what? Its that time of year again, its paris fashion week yay! Crazy people wearing flowy dresses, strolling ever so nonchalantly in the Tuileries, using place vendome as a runway platform to show off expertly put together ensembles ( the louder ,shinier and covered in fur the better) while looking at ones iPhone with all seriousness,hoping just hoping to be snapped by any photographer ......and then among all this madness,strolls along the queen of coolness ...emmanuelle alt,with a smirk on her face, wearing cropped jeans and navy blazer and puts everyone else to shame...love it!

shop is your appointment Today?

dry love your story, great buy,

stokey hope LO feels well soon,

sleep hope the museum trip was ok?

santamarianovella · 25/09/2014 15:58

I love this poncho, too bad I'm not tall enough to pull it off, shop or marsha please get one, I want to live the experience through you,

cardoon · 25/09/2014 16:06

While I've got you on your own santa could you tell me about the sizing on R&B the dre jeans?

santamarianovella · 25/09/2014 16:11

Would really love to get inside the head of Anna dello Russowhen she dresses up everyday for work, Grin

santamarianovella · 25/09/2014 16:15

I took my usual size cardoon ,they are slim fit boyfriends, they will get a bit loose with wear, but won't get baggy or anything, basically a modified straight leg

MarshaBrady · 25/09/2014 16:20

She does do a great outfit.

Love that poncho!

I'm beat, big presentation tomorrow. Nearly there.

cardoon · 25/09/2014 16:21

27 for size 10 do you think, also which wash - not sure what to go for, sunset or bradford maybe

santamarianovella · 25/09/2014 16:33

I'm a 8-6 and size 26 was ok for me, the wash I have is charring, Bradford looks like a versatile choice.

cardoon · 25/09/2014 16:37

Thanks, away to find the best price, I'm sure the others will be along shortly to keep you company Grin

Karbea · 25/09/2014 16:38

I suit gold jewellery. If it's mainly based on the draping then I guess it's sort of the opinion of the colourist lady, which means different ones might have different opinions?
I know I look washed out in pastels whereas another blond friend of mine looks great.

QueenCardigan · 25/09/2014 17:14

I'm here santa. Where did you see the pictures of emanuelle alt?

shop glad you're much happier.
dry you make me laugh. Glad you got a lovely coat.

Little dd wore tights today. I adore tights on little girls.

santamarianovella · 25/09/2014 17:52

Glad someone is here! Thought I bored you all of with my observations of FW,Grin
